Fascinating blend of scientific analysis and philosophical evaluation : “Life in Universe. Expectations and Constraints.” 
In their book “Life in the Universe”, Dirk Shulze-Makuch and Louis Irwin make a very interesting analysis of what we mean by the term “life”, how to detect it and where it might be and in what form on other planets and satellites in the Solar System, as well as elsewhere in the Universe. |

New web site for science education Today sees the launch of the new "Xplora" portal, a new European gateway for science education. Such initiatives will be an important part of improving Europe's economic position in coming years, as more researchers are needed to drive innovation. "Xplora" provides resources for primary and secondary education, and is aimed at teachers, pupils, scientists, communication professionals and others involved in science education. Xplora has been developed with funds from the Science and Society action of the EU's Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Development. |

The main objective of the ENSEMBLES project is to provide probabilistic estimates of climatic risk through ensemble integrations of Earth system models. The project will develop an ensemble climate forecast system for use across a range of timescales (seasonal, decadal and longer) and spatial scales (global, regional and local). This modelling system will be used to construct scenarios of future climate change which will provide a basis for quantitative risk assessment of climate change and climate variability. Emphasis will be placed on changes in extreme events (for example the severity and frequency of heatwaves, drought, forest fires, storminess and flooding), and the effects of high-impact but low-probability events such as a shutdown of the thermohaline circulation in the North Atlantic. The project will also validate the ensemble prediction system using quality-controlled, high-resolution gridded data sets for Europe; quantify and reduce the uncertainty in the representation of physical, chemical, biological, and human-related feedbacks in the Earth system (including water resource, land-use, and air quality issues, and carbon cycle feedbacks); and link the outputs of the ensemble prediction system to a range of applications, including agriculture, health, energy and water resources. The 5 year project is funded by the European Commission’s Sixth Framework Programme as an “Integrated Project”, and is now into its second year.... 
ESPACE (European Spatial Planning: Adapting to Climate Events), is a four year project funded by the European Commission’s North West Europe INTERREG IIIB Programme and the UK Office of the Deputy Prime Minister. It is one of the first projects of its kind to focus on increasing the awareness of the need to adapt to climate change and to begin to provide some of the necessary policy guidance, tools and mechanisms to incorporate adaptation into planning systems and processes....
