Editorial: Dead zones still a threat in the Gulf
Staff quoted: Don Boesch
We are not winning the battle against dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico. A decade ago, a special task force pledged to reduce the zone. While the team of government experts and environmental researchers gave it their best shot, the zone managed to grow instead of shrink. The research was extensive enough, however, to lay the groundwork for involvement by nine states, several government agencies and two American Indian tribes. A promise was made that the dead zone would be significantly reduced by 2015.

Thunder, Hail, Fire: What Does Climate Change Mean for the U.S.? The regional effects range from more wildfires in the west to stronger storms in the east.
Staff quoted: Don Boesch
The U.S. heartland can look forward to hotter, wetter summers, according to the latest climate research. Global warming will cause more severe thunderstorms—convective cloud fronts that could produce wind gusts of 58 miles (93 kilometers) per hour, 0.75-inch (1.9-centimeter) size hailstones and even more frequent tornadoes—in the region, according to research led by atmospheric scientist Robert Trapp at Purdue University. At the same time, according to independent environmental consultant Kristie Ebi, heat waves like the one in Chicago that killed 700 people in 1995 will become more commonplace.

Despite promises, dead zone growing: Little progress made halfway to deadline
Staff quoted: Don Boesch
A decade ago, a team of government experts and environmental researchers banded together to tackle an alarming -- and growing -- disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico.

Climate change already affecting Bay, experts say
Staff quoted: Don Boesch
Since the 1960s, water temperatures in the Chesapeake have warmed by about 2 degrees. In the mid-Atlantic, the period between the first and last accumulating snowfalls has decreased seven days in the last 50 years.
Environmental Science and Technology (Wed 31 Oct, 2007)
Study questions attempts to kill the dead zone: Cleanup efforts should cut both nitrogen and phosphorus by as much as half, researchers say.
Staff quoted: Don Boesch
The infamous "dead zone" in the Gulf of Mexico has yet to meet its match. An intergovernmental plan hatched in 2000 has failed to shrink the New Jersey-sized stretch of water with oxygen levels too low to support many kinds of life. Now, scientists writing a new U.S. EPA assessment recommend a change in tactics. But new research published in ES&T (DOI: 10.1021/es0714235) warns that some approaches being considered could worsen the problem if they replaced ongoing efforts to reduce nitrogen carried into the Gulf by the Mississippi River.

Editorial: President Looks a Bit Green
Staff quoted: Don Boesch
It's not easy being green. That sentiment from Kermit the Frog is now shared by President George W. Bush.

Warming to the challenges: Companies move to mitigate - and cope with - climate change
Staff quoted: Don Boesch
The threat of severe climate change is spurring many businesses — from insurers, defense companies and hardware stores to the hospitality industry and watermen — to take action.
WYPR (NPR) - The Marc Steiner Show (Mon 15 Oct, 2007)
Drought and the Chesapeake Bay
Staff quoted: Don Boesch
The southeastern United States has been experiencing one of the most severe droughts in its history. Closer to home, Maryland is experiencing its own drought. Earlier this month a drought watch was announced for 15 central and eastern counties in Maryland. Marc and his guests Dan Soder, Hydrologist with the US Geological Survey, Dr. Tim Foresman, President of the Int'l. Cntr for Remote Sensing Education and Donald Boesch, Pres. of U of Md Center for Environmental Science will discuss the drought and its affect on Maryland and the environment.

Chesapeake Watershed Check-up
Staff quoted: Don Boesch
It's been an autumn (and summer) of strange weather: high temperatures and limited rainfall. As scientists and farmers debate whether the region is in the midst of a drought, the conditions are having interesting, sometimes unexpected effects on the Chesapeake. We get an update on the health of the Bay, and an update on a new government program to prioritize problems.

Commentary - Restoring the bay means taking action on climate change
Staff quoted: Don Boesch
We know that the average water temperature of the Chesapeake Bay has increased by nearly 2 degrees Fahrenheit since 1960. If global warming continues unabated, it is likely to rise by an additional 5 or more degrees by the end of this century.
