Short-circuit found in ocean circulation
Scientists have discovered how ocean circulation is working in the current that flows around Antarctica by tracing the path of helium from underwater volcanoes. The details are published in Nature this week.   view more (2007-05-11)

Burning asteroids may play 'more important climate role than previously recognized'
Dust from asteroids entering the atmosphere may influence Earth's weather more than previously believed, researchers have found.   view more (2005-08-26)

Plymouth Leads 'healthy Oceans' Research
Plymouth researchers will be presenting new research findings at an international conference they are hosting in the city next month. Professor Paul Worsfold, Co-director of Plymouth Environmental Research Centre (PERC), heads the Plymouth team working on a three-year research project which... view more (2002-05-28)

Ocean invaders in deep time
Much has been made of the economic impacts of recent biological invasions, but what are the implications of invasions in deep time? Luiz Rocha leads geneticists who time travel through ocean environments.   view more (2005-10-14)

Evidence of glaciation in 'super greenhouse' world
Large ice-sheets existed on Earth about 91 million years ago, during one of the warmest periods since life began, an international team of scientists reports this week.   view more (2008-01-11)

A Warm South Pole? Yes, on Neptune!
An international team of astronomers using ESO's Very Large Telescope has discovered that the south pole of Neptune is much hotter than the rest of the planet. This is consistent with the fact that it is late southern summer and this region has been in sunlight for about 40 years.   view more (2007-09-19)

Cosmic dust in ice cores sheds light on Earth's past climate
Each year nearly 40,000 tons of cosmic dust fall to Earth from outer space. Now, the first successful chronological study of extraterrestrial dust in Antarctic ice has shown that this amount has remained largely constant over the past 30,000 years, a finding that could help refine efforts to... view more (2006-07-31)

Fish Blood Preserves Sperm
In the Arctic and Antarctic seas the water gets cold to minus 1.9 C in winter, but somehow some fish live there. These cold-blooded creatures survive in the icy water because the blood in their veins contains antifreeze proteins and glycoproteins. High levels of the antifreeze proteins are found in... view more (2002-06-04)

Interdisciplinary Science Reviews: papers from the December 2002 issue
FORENSIC ENGINEERING: A REAPPRAISAL OF THE TAY BRIDGE DISASTER Peter R. Lewis and Ken Reynolds (Open University, UK) The Tay Bridge disaster of 1879 shocked the world and led to important changes in bridge design, construction, and inspection. The Court of Inquiry produced its final report in six... view more (2002-12-17)

Last call for Marecs B2
One of ESA’s longest-serving and hardest-working communications satellites is being put into retirement after years of dedicated service. Marecs B2, built as a reserve satellite but launched in 1984 to replace the failed Marecs B, had a nominal life-span of seven years. Now, after 18 years... view more (2002-01-23)

Polar Tour On Cross-Country Vehicles
Expedition called "Polar Ring" starts in mid-March this year from a town called Salekhard. The expedition members will travel on cross-country pneumatic vehicles to the east along the Arctic Ocean coast up to the Novaya Zemlya and, then, take route to the North Pole and finish in Canada by the time... view more (2004-03-26)

Abertay scientist is in demand for wooden ships
Dr Derek Sinclair, scientist in the University's Scottish Institute for Wood Technology (SIWT), flies to Sweden next week to speak at a conference on preserving the Vasa - a massive 16th-century wooden warship which was recovered from the seabed off Stockholm in 1961.   view more (1999-02-12)

New window into ancient ozone holes
British researchers have hit on a clever way to search for ancient ozone holes and their relationship to mass extinctions: measure the remains of ultraviolet-B absorbing pigments ancient plants left in their fossilized spores and pollen.   view more (2005-08-10)

Gas from the past gives scientists new insights into climate and the oceans
In recent years, public discussion of climate change has included concerns that increased levels of carbon dioxide will contribute to global warming, which in turn may change the circulation in the earth's oceans, with potentially disastrous consequences.   view more (2008-10-06)

FSU physicist shining a light on mysterious 'dark matter'
We've all been taught that our bodies, the Earth, and in fact all matter in the universe is composed of tiny building blocks called atoms. Now imagine if this weren't the case.   view more (2007-10-03)

Cooling Off Periods
Research by a team of Cambridge scientists has provided new clues about the first dramatic cooling of the Earth's climate 34 million years ago. The team, based at the University of Cambridge's Department of Earth Sciences said that ocean temperature drops were apparently not responsible for the... view more (2000-01-12)

Scientists issue Bali climate change warning
More than 200 leading climate scientists have today warned the United Nations Climate Conference of the need to act immediately to cut greenhouse gas emissions, with a window of only 10-15 years for global emissions to peak and decline, and a goal of at least a 50 per cent reduction by 2050.   view more (2007-12-07)

Ocean satellite launch critical to Australian science
A new earth observing satellite being launched in California today will help guide future Australian ocean and climate science.   view more (2008-06-23)

Link between tropical warming and greenhouse gases stronger than ever, say scientists
New evidence from climate records of the past provides some of the strongest indications yet of a direct link between tropical warmth and higher greenhouse gas levels, say scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara.   view more (2005-10-14)

Sinking Greenhouse Gases into the Ocean
"Polarstern" begins new iron fertilization experiment On January 21, 2004, the "Polarstern", research vessel of the Alfred-Wegener-Institute of Polar and Marine Research, will leave Cape Town for the third stage of the 21st expedition to Antarctica. Forty-nine scientists from nine countries... view more (2004-01-21)
