How much water in that snowpack? Scientists seek a better gauge
2013-05-04 11:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: Scientists are testing a new approach for gauging the amount of water stored in mountain snows reservoirs that supply more than 75 percent of the fresh water in the western US and that slake the thirst of some 1.5 billion people around the globe. The aim is to measure the snow's water content more accurately and more frequently, so that water managers can mete out water stored in reservoirs more effectively. The data also are expected to improve snowmelt forecasts as a melt season progresses....

Scientists grow a mouse brain that looks like a humans
2013-05-03 20:32:55| Extremetech
The population of the developing brain with cells, is a mass-migratory event that proceeds with algorithmic precision. A recent publication uncovered a few of the molecular players that define this game. By manipulating one of these components researchers changed the normally smooth cortex of the mouse into one that has folds just like a human's.
How climate scientists are being framed

Guardian: Have you seen the spirited new game being played by a few right-wing columnists in high profile media outlets of late? The game is called "You've been framed" and it's available at a toyshop or conservative-leaning news outlet in an alternative reality near you. Another name for this game might be "What's the most offensive and ridiculous thing we can get away with saying about climate scientists?" To play, you need to first pretend thousands of studies, inquiries and reports into climate change...

Jakarta Globe: Indonesian researchers are calling for the adoption of new agricultural technology to protect the industry from climate change. Haryono, the head of the Agriculture Ministrys research and development center, said at a discussion in Jakarta on Wednesday that 60 percent of farming-reliant countries worldwide, including Indonesia, China, India and much of Latin America, would feel the impact of increasingly unpredictable weather patterns that could threaten food security. Thats why researchers...

All eyes on Keeling Curve: Scientists anxious as CO2 levels to cross 400 PPM
2013-05-01 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
InsideClimate: For the first time in human history, concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are expected to pass 400 parts per million across much of the Northern Hemisphere in May, according to scientists who study data from the Mauna Loa Observatory, the world's longest-running CO2 monitoring station. While crossing the 400 ppm mark isn't a "tipping point" that signals climate catastrophe, scientists told InsideClimate News, it is an important symbolic milestone that underscores government inaction...
