A new study led by researchers from the Danish National Research Foundation for Geogenetics at the University of Copenhagen has determined that for the last 10,000 years, the extent of summer sea ice in the Arctic Ocean has varied widely. This is probably due to changes in the prevailing wind systems. —Svend Funder, team leader.

The factors that affect local sea-level projections include steric variations; wind-driven differences in ocean heights; gravitational and deformational effects (sea-level. The local steric and wind-driven components were estimated by extracting northeast Pacific data from the same ocean models used for the global projections.

Aircraft wings which redirect air to waggle sideways over their surfaces could significantly reduce drag and thus cut fuel consumption and emissions by 20%, according to researchers at the University of Warwick (UK). It was discovered, essentially, by waggling a piece of wing from side to side in a wind tunnel. million (US$1.75-million)
