3. Mountain summits in the Alps becoming increasingly similar
   11-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Alpine summit vegetation will become increasingly homogenized as a result of climate change, say researchers from the University of Bayreuth and the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research writing in the international Journal of Vegetation Science. The biologists assessed data on the composition and species numbers of plants on the summits of seven mountains measuring over 3000 meters in the Bernina range in Switzerland over a period of almost 100 years.

6. Newly discovered active fault building new Dalmatian Islands off Croatian coast
   01-22-2008 · EurekAlert!
   A newly identified fault that runs under the Adriatic Sea is actively building more of the famously beautiful Dalmatian Islands and Dinaride Mountains of Croatia, according to a new research report. Geologists had previously believed that the Dalmatian Islands and the Dinaride Mountains had stopped growing 20 to 30 million years ago. The Croatian coast is an increasing popular tourist destination. Dubrovnik, known as "the Pearl of the Adriatic," is a UNESCO-designated World Heritage site.
