 During the 1930s, America   High Plains were ravaged by an 8-year long drought, resulting in the dreaded Dust Bowl. Scientists now warn that, owing to global warming, this could happen again 鈥?and that by next century many parts of the world could experience megadroughts lasting for several decades.     The new study, stanley cups uk  which was conducted by Cornell University, the University of Arizona, and U.S. Geolo vaso stanley gical Survey researchers, used climate model simulations and paleoclimate data to predict that the chances of the southwestern United States experiencing a decade-long drought is at least 50%. The analysis suggests that the risk is at least 80%, and possibly as high as 90%, in certain areas. Frighteningly, the chances of a megadrought 鈥?one that lasts up to 35 years or more 鈥?ranges from 20% to 50% over the next century. And the risk of an unprecedented 50-year megadrought was assessed at 5% to 10%, but under the most severe warming scenarios. A Preview of the Future Indeed, portions of the United States could already be in the early stages of a prolonged drought.

By isolating 24 genetic variants, researchers have developed a computer program that can construct surprisingly accurate 3D models of facial features.     Forensic science is progressing quickly these days owing to a number of breakthroughs.
