Coral bright spots offer clues to protecting threatened reefs
2016-06-15 15:34:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Some coral reefs are thriving and scientists say they may guide efforts to curb threats such as over-fishing and climate change which are blamed for widespread global declines. A major study identified 15 "bright spots" among more than 2,500 coral reefs in 46 nations, including off Indonesia, the Solomon islands and Kiribati where given local stresses there were far more fish than predicted. And the Great Barrier Reef off Australia, the world's biggest, was performing in line with expectations...

CERN's Cloud experiment provide clues to better climate predictions
2016-05-28 00:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
DNA India: Scientists have uncovered the processes behind the formation and evolution of small atmospheric particles free from the influence of pollution, that can help create accurate models to predict global climate change. Clouds and aerosols - small airborne particles that can become the seeds upon which clouds form - are essential to climate predictions because they reflect sunlight back into space. Reflecting light away from Earth can have a cooling effect, masking some of the warming caused by...

Fossil gives clues to ancient extinction
2016-05-23 11:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: A newly-classified fossil gives clues to how life in the oceans recovered from a mass extinction about 250 million years ago. The reptile is an early relative of the ichthyosaurs - a large group of marine reptiles that swam at the time of the dinosaurs. With its tiny toothless head, the creature is something of a curiosity, say scientists. The specimen suggests marine reptiles evolved quickly after the event. Previous evidence has suggested it took a long time for animals in the seas...

Ancient marine sediments provide clues to future climate change

Phys.Org: Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration was the major driver behind the global climatic shifts that occurred between 53 and 34 million years ago, according to new research led by the University of Southampton. The study, which was published today in Nature, is the first to resolve the relationship between carbon dioxide (CO2) and climate during the period known as the 'Eocene epoch' when global temperatures were around 14 oC warmer than...
