Strength in Numbers: Mathematicians Unite to Tackle Climate Change and Other Planetary Problems

2013-03-21 12:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Scientific American: What do polar ice caps, guinea worm disease and wildfires have in common? All are being modeled with cutting-edge mathematics. Mathematical societies and institutes around the world are participating in "Mathematics of Planet Earth," or MPE, this year. They aim to study the math that underpins geologic and biological processes on our planet as well as encourage more math researchers to tackle these problems. Events are planned for the year 2013, but the organizers hope that the initiative will have...

Global warming may cause extremes by slowing "planetary waves"

2013-02-25 21:14:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Reuters: Global warming may have caused extreme events such as a 2011 drought in the United States and a 2003 heatwave in Europe by slowing vast, wave-like weather flows in the northern hemisphere, scientists said on Tuesday. The study of meandering air systems that encircle the planet adds to understanding of extremes that have killed thousands of people and driven up food prices in the past decade. Such planetary air flows, which suck warm air from the tropics when they swing north and draw cold air...
