...always one thing or another. They're sometimes just a little depressed or a little anxious. To avoid medicalizing normal stress, the DSM-V would set a cutoff point within the spectrum. Of course, determining the right cutoff point for the DSM's 350 illnesses would take an enormous research effort, one that has begun for some disorders like depression but probably hasn't even been thought about for rare problems like sexual sadism...
...property could be at risk - and the cost to protect that land from flooding will likely be in the billions, even if we do control greenhouse-gas emissions. "This change is inevitable, and it's going to alter the character of California's coast," says Heather Cooley, a senior research associate at the Pacific Institute and a co-author of the study...
...report's warnings are so striking in part because it assumes a much higher sea-level rise than previous studies. The 1.4 m figure used in the Pacific Institute report - which comes from research by the Scripps Institute of Oceanography - is considerably higher than the estimates put forth in the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) most recent assessment in 2007, which projected a sea-level rise of 18 to 59 cm by 2100. But the IPCC numbers were based on older data and took into account only the thermal expansion of the seas. (Water expands...
...research is clarifying the ice-cap question - and the results are sobering. Scientists at the Climate Change Congress in Copenhagen this week presented a study estimating that sea levels could rise globally by 1 m or more by the end of the century, with large regional differences around the world. At the lower end of the estimate, scientists say it's unlikely that seas will rise less than 50 cm even if we can get a grip on carbon emissions. The revised predictions are due to better data on melting in Greenland and Antarctica and from glaciers around the world...
HDRB will emphasize hands-on research under the guidance of faculty affiliated with the department, according to Melton, who will co-tutor the concentration with stem cell researcher Kevin Eggan...
