		<description><![CDATA[On the morning of April 27th, 2001, students, teachers, parents and community members came together to celebrate the outstanding achievement of students throughout Marin and Sonoma counties who have been actively working on the STRAW project. Throughout the school year, Students and Teachers Restoring A Watershed has been diligently rehabilitating creeks from 9 different watersheds. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In an effort to localize storm names, a new list has been generated for tropical storms and typhoons in the Western North Pacific and South China Sea. The first storm this year will be called Damrey, which means elephant in Cambodian. Previously, storms in these regions had been given English names. The new list, approved [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tree ring records in North America show evidence of a "mega-drought" in the 16th century that wreaked havoc for decades among early settlers and native populations. Researchers used tree ring chronologies that extend back more than 500 years in Western North America, the Southeast and the Great Lakes. They found that dry conditions extended from [...]]]></description>

A study of the Soufriere Hills Volcano in Montserrat found that the aftermath of that volcano includes lots of ash particles that are just the right size to cause silicosis (a scarring disease of the lungs) and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With its ability to create muffled winter landscapes, snow is usually associated with quiet. When it falls on a body of water, one might expect snow to be just as silent. Instead, snow falling on water creates high-pitched screeching sounds, which last for roughly a ten-thousandth of a second. The snowflake's presence on a water [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Looking to plug holes in our knowledge about the ozone hole, some 350 scientists from around the world are studying the Arctic atmosphere this winter to understand chemical changes in the stratosphere (30,000 to 180,000 feet up) brought about by solar radiation. Ozone acts as a protective layer against the sun's ultraviolet radiation. As temperatures [...]]]></description>

But ammonia, one of the most common noxious waste products, has a new enemy. A bacterium discovered at a sewage treatment plant in Holland, breaths nitrite instead of oxygen. The odd life form has been [...]]]></description>

The earthquake set off a tsunami -- a series of ocean waves -- that struck Cascadia's Pacific coast, and also crossed [...]]]></description>

Earthquakes caused more than 22,000 deaths worldwide in 1999. More than 17,000 people were killed as a result of the magnitude 7.4 Izmit, [...]]]></description>

Armies of such cheap, expendable robots might one day help build a base on Mars -- or simply mow your lawn. Non-communicative behaviour in ants is observed when they combine their [...]]]></description>
