Ocean Heat Can Predict Malaria Outbreaks in India
2013-03-10 13:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: Health officials may have a new way to anticipate malaria epidemics in north-west India. All they have to do is check the sea surface temperatures in the tropical south Atlantic, off the coast of western Africa. If the water is colder than normal in July, then prepare for an epidemic of the Anopheles mosquito and its little Plasmodium parasite four months later in Kutch and the Thar Desert of India. Research shows if the water is colder than normal in July, then prepare for an epidemic of the...

NBC: Methane gas from the sea floor caused a foul odor on Sunday that prompted nearly 100 emergency calls from residents reporting the stench from Santa Monica to West Los Angeles, officials said. The odor, which smelled like sulfur, was first reported late Saturday, air quality officials said. The smell wafted in from the Santa Monica Bay. Justin Walker, a Santa Monica Fire Department spokesman, said hazardous-materials crews found small increments of methane gas in the air at 8:30 a.m. The...
Ocean temperatures give early warning of Indian malaria
2013-03-03 19:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
SciDevNet: Researchers have developed a model that allows malaria epidemics in arid northwest India to be predicted four months in advance, helping authorities prepare for them much earlier than before. The seasonal malaria outbreaks in the region are known to be driven by higher rainfall, which allows the mosquitoes that transmit the disease to breed, and can currently be forecasted up to around a month in advance. But a study published today (3 March) in Nature Climate Change has found a strong association...

Climate group studies patterns of ocean acidification
2013-03-03 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit Voice: A 2007 sea voyage through the Gulf of Mexico, around Florida and up the eastern seaboard has increased understanding of how various coastal areas may respond to increased acidity. More than anything, the detailed research helps establish some baseline data against which future changes can be measured, and showed that some areas are more susceptible to higher concentrations of carbon. The study, measuring levels of carbon dioxide and other forms of carbon in the ocean, was conducted by scientists...
