Movement of marine life follows speed and direction of climate change
2013-09-12 20:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: Scientists expect climate change and warmer oceans to push the fish that people rely on for food and income into new territory. Predictions of where and when species will relocate, however, are based on broad expectations about how animals will move and have often not played out in nature. New research based at Princeton University shows that the trick to more precise forecasts is to follow local temperature changes. The researchers report in the journal Science the first evidence that sea creatures...
Intel unveils Bay Trail tablet SoC: Is superb performance and battery life enough?
2013-09-12 16:07:13| Extremetech
At IDF 2013, Intel has finally fully unveiled Bay Trail, the tablet SoC that replaces Clover Trail. Bay Trail will come to Android and Windows 8.1 tablets this fall, and the initial benchmarks (carried out by third parties) look very strong indeed. CPU-wise, Bay Trail outperforms the entire ARM stable, including Cortex-A15 and Qualcomm's latest efforts, and on par with AMD's Jaguar-based Kabini, while consuming much less power. GPU-wise, Bay Trail is more middle of the road, with benchmark scores that compare to the iPad 4, but falling behind Tegra 4 and Snapdragon 800 by some margin (20%+). Overall, Intel seems to have finally produced an Atom part that can compete in both terms of power consumption and performance. The big question now is whether Bay Trail can secure a big product win: After all, without a beautiful and desirable product that can compete with the iPad and Nexus, Bay Trail doesn't stand a chance.

Climate change may speed up forests' life cycles
2013-09-12 03:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Many climate studies have predicted that tree species will respond to global warming by migrating via seed dispersal to cooler climates. But a new study of 65 different species in 31 eastern states finds evidence of a different, unexpected response. Nearly 80 percent of the species aren't yet shifting their geographic distributions to higher latitudes. Instead, they're staying in place -- but speeding up their life cycles. The Duke University-led study, published online Wednesday in the peer-reviewed...

Life found in the muck of Antarctic lake
2013-09-11 15:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Researchers have found signs of life in mud pulled from the bottom of an ice-covered lake in Antarctica. Studying microbes in such extreme and closed-off environments could help scientists understand how life may thrive in the harshest places on Earth and potentially other planets. Scientists with the British Antarctic Survey and other institutions drilled through the ice sheet to dig up clean sediment samples from the bottom of Lake Hodgson, which is on the Antarctic Peninsula and 305 feet (93...
