Volunteers Across Nation to Track Climate Clues in Spring Flowers
A nationwide initiative starting this week will enable volunteers to track climate change by observing the timing of flowers and foliage. Project BudBurst, operated by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) and a team of partners, allows students, gardeners and other citizen scientists in every state to enter their observations into an online database that will give researchers a detailed picture of our warming climate.
The project, which will be launched tomorrow, ...

Scientists Reveal First-Ever Global Map of Total Human Effect on Oceans
More than 40 percent of the world's oceans are heavily affected by human activities, and few if any areas remain untouched, according to the first global-scale study of human influence on marine ecosystems.
By overlaying maps of 17 different activities such as fishing, climate change and pollution, the researchers have produced a composite map of the toll that humans have exacted on the seas.
The work, published in this week's issue of Science, was conducted at the ...

A Newly Discovered Solar System Contains Scaled-Down Versions of Saturn and Jupiter
A team of international astronomers reports in the Feb. 15 issue of Science the discovery of a solar system nearly 5,000 light years away containing scaled-down versions of Jupiter and Saturn. Their findings suggest that our galaxy could conceivably contain many star systems similar to our own. The National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsored the research.
"NSF is delighted to have played a role in enabling such an exciting discovery," said Michael Briley, a ...
