Megatsunamis @ the London `Catastrophes` conference
The modern world appears secure in its knowledge of hazards. However tsunamis today are smaller and less frequent than they were in prehistory.   view more (2002-08-17)

Underground Nuclear Explosions Deteriorate The Ozone Layer
Russian scientists have found one more cause of depletion of the ozone layer. They think that abyssal gases can go to the surface and reach stratosphere, deteriorating the ozone shield. Underground nuclear explosions enforce this process. A geologist Boris Golubov of the Institute of Geosphere... view more (2002-08-16)

Invitation to the Media - Environmental Catastrophe Hits London
A major interdisciplinary conference on environmental catastrophes in the recent geological past will be held at Brunel University from 28 August to 2 September 2002. All media are welcome to attend, by prior arrangement with the Conference Organiser (see Further Information). Although the... view more (2002-08-07)

Friction Inside The Earth Is A Source Of Heat
There is high temperature inside our planet and the reason is not known yet. A common belief that the Earth`s interior is heated by radioactive elements is now doubted of. Professor Felix Letnikov from Irkutsk Institute of the Earth`s Crust have proposed an idea that the heat is formed in the outer... view more (2002-06-28)

Global Telescope to observe Ringing Star
Over the coming weeks an international team, led by Professor Ulrich Heber of the University of Erlangen-Nuernberg, Germany, will use over fifteen different telescopes around the world to make over one hundred nights of observations of just one star to learn about its internal structure. The... view more (2002-05-17)

Earthquakes in the sky
AN AFTERNOON shower in London may have more in common with an earthquake in California than you`d think, because both processes obey similar statistical rules. The scientists who discovered the link say thinking about rain as a kind of "earthquake in the sky" may help improve models of the weather.... view more (2002-05-01)

Scientists blow their own trumpet
Brass instrument makers could soon be using the latest technology to refine the manufacturing of trumpets and cornets. An improved way of taking internal measurements of musical instruments, published today in the Institute of Physics journal, Measurement Science and Technology, has been developed... view more (2002-04-16)

Magnetic Storms And Earthquakes
For years scientists have been studying the impact of different geophysical fields on the earthquakes occurrence. It has been assumed that the fields, generated due to the solar activity, earth flows fluctuations, the Earth`s speed of rotation and even the launch of magnetohydrodynamic generators... view more (2002-03-21)

ENVISAT: EU Supports New Space Applications for Global Monitoring of Environment & Security
ENVISAT, successfully launched this morning from the European spaceport at Kourou, French Guyana, by an Ariane 5 rocket, is the largest and most sophisticated Earth observation satellite ever built in Europe. From an altitude of 800 km, the 8.2-ton Environment Satellite - Europe's new "eyes in... view more (2002-03-01)

Media invitation: Nuclear test ban spurs research into UK`s rocky foundations
The vital role UK earth scientist play in monitoring the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), and how their research is leading to a greater understanding of what the Earth is like under the British Isles, is the subject of a two-day meeting in London on the 7th and 8th of February.... view more (2002-02-03)

University of Ulster joins fight against anthrax
The University of Ulster is to become the first university in the world to train nurses to combat bio-terrorism following the spate of anthrax attacks in the US. It has teamed up with the University of Rochester in New York State to develop a joint course that will equip nurses with the skills to... view more (2001-10-26)

New earth observation centres announced
Two new centres which will use satellites and models to help forecast earthquakes and the effects of carbon in climate change were announced (Wednesday 17 October) by Lord Sainsbury, Science & Innovation Minister. Said Lord Sainsbury, " I am delighted to announce that the Natural... view more (2001-10-19)

Deep subsurface research to help understand earthquakes
From 8 to 20 October, TU Delft, "Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam" and The University of Utrecht will be conducting an experiment in the south of the Netherlands. The experiment is to find out how the deep subsurface (about 25 to 30 km under the surface) can be profiled with sound waves. It... view more (2001-10-01)

Geophysical Research Letters European Highlights - 1 August 2001
Highlights 4. Deep water has many sources Hellmer and Beckmann ["The Southern Ocean: A Ventilation Contributor with Multiple Sources"] use a coupled ocean/ice-shelf model to determine the location and rate of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) formation. Their results suggest that the Atlantic and... view more (2001-07-16)

DOES NESSIE STIR WHEN THE EARTH SHAKES?
The Loch Ness Monster could be the result of earthquakes, according to Dr Luigi Piccardi, a geologist at the Centro di Studio dell' Appennino e delle Catene Perimediterranee (Firenze) who specialises in finding links between mythical and historical descriptions and geological phenomena. Dr.... view more (2001-06-21)

New Technology Reduces Earthquake Damage To Buildings
Imperial College Innovations looks to commercialise new device for improving the structural stability of buildings A novel device that may help to save lives by improving the stability of buildings and preventing structural damage during traumatic events such as earthquakes, has been developed and... view more (2001-05-17)

Earthquakes Happen at Full Moon
Russian physicists have found that flashes of neutron radiation from the Earth surface are bound to increasing in seismic activity. They believe that this phenomenon can be used as a novel kind of earthquake foreboding. The researchers of the Department of Cosmic Radiation of the Research... view more (2001-02-02)

It will be possible to predict earthquakes from space
The scientists of the Department of Physics, Moscow State University, have proposed to predict earthquakes by measuring polarization of the solar light that is reflected from the surface of the Earth. The small and cheap equipment, which the scientists have designed, can be placed on meteorological... view more (2001-01-17)

European researchers successfully predict a major earthquake
Earthquakes are by far the most deadly natural disasters in the world. Since 1975, they have killed over 340,000 people. Since the beginning of this century, they have caused an average of 20,000 deaths each year. Unfortunately, until recently, there was no reliable scientific technique for... view more (1999-06-24)

25 Seconds for Bucharest
The value of EWS for hazards with long warning times such as tsunamis, volcanic activities, tornadoes is undisputed.
