You could have been a mountain climber 12 million years ago
By: William Atkins
A U.S.-German study has shown that mountains in the western United States formed much earlier than once thought by geologists--specifically about 12 million years ago, approximately 9 or 10 million years earlier than previous research had shown.

Australia begins to bury carbon dioxide
By: William Atkins
The CO2CRC Otways Project will capture and compress carbon dioxide in Australia’s first geosequestration plant and then inject all of it in an empty underground natural gas reservoir for geological storage.

First weather satellite, TIROS I, launched 48 years ago
By: William Atkins
The Television Infrared Observation Satellite I (TIROS-I) was launched on April 1, 1960, from Cape Canaveral, Florida. It was the world’s first weather observation satellite, providing proof that weather forecasting could be accurately performed in space.

Think twice before catching snowflake in mouth: Bacteria
By: William Atkins
Scientists have known for about forty years that bacteria cling to ice high in the atmosphere in order to produce rain and snow. However, U.S. scientists only recently found out that biological organisms, such as bacteria and other such microorganisms, play a significant role in the formation and distribution of precipitation.

Boston-area scientists study controlling hurricanes with soot
By: William Atkins
Moshe Alamaro and Ross Hoffman say that if airplanes drop soot over clouds, then the carbon particles could absorb sunlight that would warm up the cold clouds. Such action would reduce wind speeds and possibly prevent hurricanes from causing damage like Katrina did to New Orleans.

Oxygen atmosphere on Earth found millions of years earlier than thought
By: William Atkins
The Great Oxidation Event was a global environmental change that was believed to have occurred about 2.4 billion years ago—when oxygen was first believed to show up and rapidly accumulate in the Earth’s atmosphere. Recent research shows that oxygen, instead, appeared millions of years earlier.
