Climate change is happening everywhere, but nowhere faster than in the Arctic, where annual temperatures in the far North are warming twice as fast as the rest of the globe. Sea ice on the polar cap is shrinking and permafrost is melting, putting animals like the polar bear - and the Arctic people who depend on them - in increasing danger...
Another study released this week by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) examines that problem and its potential future effects - and it's not pretty. The WWF researchers found that Arctic sea ice is melting at a faster rate than expected, and that the massive land sheets in Greenland and parts of Antarctic are vulnerable. The report predicts that global sea level will rise more than 3 ft. by 2100, significantly higher than scientists had previously believed. "What we're finding is truly sobering," says Martin Sommerkorn, the senior adviser for the WWF's Arctic Program. (See the top 10 green...
...dial-up users were faculty and staff accessing the modem pool from their homes, Selsby said. Citing departmental policy, Selsby declined to reveal how much breathing room FAS IT would gain from cutting the service, but said the savings were “substantial.” Faster alternatives, such as DSL and cable modem, are now the standard, Selsby said, and FAS IT has sent notifications to every account that has used its dial-up service in the last six months. FAS IT administrators made the decision to cut the service earlier this summer, when all departments and units...
...youths. White matter is essentially the brain's wiring - the neural strands that connect the various gray-matter regions, where the actual nerve cells reside, that are otherwise independent of one another. Maturation of white matter is important because it increases the brain's processing speed; nerve impulses travel faster in mature white matter. (See pictures of a diverse group of American teens...
