7. Reducing air pollution could increase rice harvests in India
   12-04-2006 · EurekAlert!
   An analysis by researchers at UC Berkeley and UC San Diego found that the combined effects of atmospheric brown clouds and greenhouse gases negatively affected growing conditions for rice in India. The researchers estimate that harvests would have been 20 to 25 percent higher during some years in the 1990s if the negative climate impacts had not occurred. The study suggests that reducing the man-made sources of pollution could increase harvest growth.

9. Studying rivers for clues to global carbon cycle
   02-08-2008 · EurekAlert!
   In the science world, media and our daily lives, the debate continues over how carbon in the atmosphere is affecting global climate change. In a study of how organic carbon is processed in rivers, a research team including an engineer, ecologists and microbiologists has determined that carbon processing in rivers is a bigger component of global carbon cycling than previously thought. The team lays out a framework for how scientists should go about assessing those processes.
