- Water planners call for fundamental shift to deal with changing climate
01-31-2008 · EurekAlert!
The past is no longer a reliable base on which to plan the future of water management. So says a new perspectives piece written by a prominent group of hydrologists and climatologists, to be published Feb. 1 in Science magazine, that calls for fundamental changes to the science behind water planning and policy.

- Valuing ocean services in the Gulf of Maine -- New approaches for conflict resolution
02-16-2008 · EurekAlert!
Michael Fogarty, a NOAA biologist, says interactions among species, the effects of climate change, and the effects of human impacts such as harvesting are among the factors that need to be considered in moving toward an ecosystem-based fishery management plan. Conventional fishery management practices concentrate on individual species rather than a holistic approach that looks at the bigger picture.

- Broad-based group of physicians calls for improvement in stroke treatment
08-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
A coalition of physicians representing a wide range of medical specialties has issued a call to action to improve the treatment of stroke. The group, which includes nationally recognized leaders in neurology, neuroradiology, neurosurgery, vascular surgery and cardiology, was drawn together by the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions to address one of the most pressing medical needs in this country -- the rapid treatment of stroke using catheter-based techniques.

- Fisheries should be regarded as a part of the maritime environment
12-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
Professional fishery is in many sea areas a serious ecological threat to the maritime environment. On the other hand, changes in the environment, e.g. the increase of fish-eating animals like seals and cormorants, may impact the fisheries. One of the new guiding principles of political decision-making in fishery issues is that a holistic "ecosystems approach" should be used instead of traditional protection of fish populations.

- Soot from wood stoves in developing world impacts global warming more than expected
10-24-2006 · EurekAlert!
New measurements of soot produced by traditional cook stoves used in developing countries suggest that these stoves emit more harmful smoke particles and could have a much greater impact on global climate change than previously thought, according to a study scheduled to appear in the Nov. 1 issue of the American Chemical Society journal Environmental Science and Technology.

- 'Ten Commandments' could improve fisheries management
02-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
Poorly managed marine fisheries are in trouble around the world, researchers say, while ecosystem-based management is a powerful idea that in theory could help ensure sustainable catches -- but too often there's a gap in translating broad concepts into specific action. To address that, one expert today modified a very old set of rules and issued "Ten Commandments" for ecosystem-based fisheries science, in a presentation at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

- National experts and nonprofit organizations call to end FDA user fees and to improve drug safety
03-14-2007 · EurekAlert!
Opposition to current drug safety legislation is growing, as a group of 22 experts on drug safety and regulation and a coalition of 12 patient, consumer, science, and public health organizations issue two separate open letters to lawmakers. The letters asks Congress to not reauthorize the user fees legislation (PDUFA) that finances the FDA’s review of new drugs, and calls for substantial changes to drug safety legislation introduced by Senators Kennedy and Enzi.

- Accelerating loss of ocean species threatens human well-being
11-02-2006 · EurekAlert!
In a study published in the November 3 issue of the journal, Science, an international group of ecologists and economists show that the loss of biodiversity is profoundly reducing the ocean's ability to produce seafood, resist diseases, filter pollutants and rebound from stresses such as over fishing and climate change. The study reveals that every species lost causes a faster unraveling of the overall ecosystem.

- Prominent researchers advocate creation of national climate service
11-27-2006 · EurekAlert!
It's time for the United States to have a national climate service -- an interagency partnership led by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and charged with understanding climate dynamics, forecasts and impacts -- say six members of the University of Washington's Climate Impacts Group. Their views appear online this week in the early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
