- Math model predicts cancer behavior
12-01-2006 · EurekAlert!
A team of Vanderbilt and University of Dundee scientists envisions a future when computer simulations will be used to predict a tumor's clinical progression and formulate individualized treatment plans. The group has developed a mathematical model for cancer invasion powerful enough for this purpose. The result was published as an entirely theoretical paper in the journal Cell and represents a "sea change" in how biology is done.

- First-ever study to link increased mortality specifically to carbon dioxide emissions
01-03-2008 · EurekAlert!
A Stanford scientist has spelled out for the first time the direct links between increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and increases in human mortality, using a state-of-the-art computer model of the atmosphere incorporating scores of physical and chemical environmental processes. The new findings, to be published in Geophysical Research Letters, come to light just after the Environmental Protection Agency's recent ruling against states setting specific emission standards for this greenhouse gas.

- Amazon Rainforest at risk from initiative to connect South American economies
10-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
An unprecedented development plan to link South America's economies through new transportation, energy and telecommunications projects could destroy much of the Amazon rainforest in coming decades, according to a new study by Conservation International scientist Tim Killeen. However, Killeen reports that such a disastrous outcome can be avoided if steps are taken now toreconcile the legitimate desires for development with the globally important need to conserve the Amazon ecosystem.
