The Professor of Newspaper Strategy and Management and director of UGA's Cox Institute for Newspaper Management Studies, a former foreign correspondent and vice president of the Associated Press, responded to news coverage of NATO's current bombing campaign in the Balkans.
New research by a University of Georgia sociologist focuses on the problem of out-of-field teaching -- teachers assigned to teach subjects for which they have little education or training. He found that the most common assumptions about the causes of the problem are largely untrue and that proposed solutions may, in fact, cause more harm than good.
A new study suggests that the damaging effects of acid rain appear far sooner than scientists knew and threaten the future productivity of forests by quietly dissolving their food reserves in the soil.
A consortium of Southeastern universities, coordinated by researchers from the University of Georgia, today signed a memorandum of understanding with the Advanced Photon Source at the Argonne National Laboratory outside Chicago.
UGA researchers have determined that the environmental changes in cities like Atlanta, where trees are replaced by asphault and concrete, are turning into "urban heat islands," where the temperature is higher than surrounding areas and it creates its own weather patterns and thunderstorms.
Until recently, some scientists suggested that the Middle Holocene period in the Southeast was marked by a warm, dry climate somewhat like that of the Upper Midwest. Recent studies by a University of Georgia geographer and his graduate students, however, have found that the climate was, in fact, warm and wet.
Nearing the June 18 release date for the final report of the National Gambling Impact Study Commission, a new, non-sponsored university study concludes that counties with casino gambling have an 8 percent higher crime rate on average than counties without casinos. The study found that higher crime rates donÃt occur immediately, but typically begin emerging in the third year after a casino opens in a community.
A new study by researchers at the University of Georgia confirms heat causes coral reef damage. Higher temperatures aren't necessarily damaging the reef-building corals directly but instead are degrading the ability of symbiotic algae to convert light into energy.
Research by the University of Georgia's Marine Institute strongly suggests that salt marsh plants nearer the equator are less palatable to herbivores than ones considerably farther away, the first time such a preference has been conclusively demonstrated.
