CERN at Telecom World 2003 - Innovating for Tomorrow
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is teaming up with the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and the University of Geneva in demonstrating technology of the future on the Lake Geneva Region stand at Telecom World 2003. FROM THE WEB TO THE GRID. The World Wide Web was invented at CERN to help... view more... (2003-10-10)
Discovery of Genetic Mutation in Florida Beach Mice
Biologists at the University of California, San Diego have found that the main color differences among Florida's mice—which are darker on the mainland, but lighter on the barrier islands to blend in with the white sand dunes—are largely due to a simple genetic mutation. view more (2006-07-10)
Climate variability and dengue incidence
Research published this week in PLoS Medicine demonstrates associations between local rainfall and temperature and cases of dengue fever, which affects an estimated fifty million people per year worldwide. view more (2009-11-16)
NOAA and partners to survey ships sunk off north Carolina in World War II
NOAA will lead a three-week research expedition in August to study World War II shipwrecks sunk in 1942 off the coast of North Carolina during the Battle of the Atlantic. view more (2009-08-10)
Researchers find substantial wind resource off Mid-Atlantic coast
The wind resource off the Mid-Atlantic coast could supply the energy needs of nine states from Massachusetts to North Carolina, plus the District of Columbia—with enough left over to support a 50 percent increase in future energy demand—according to a study by researchers at the University of Delaware and Stanford University. view more (2007-02-02)
NASA Scientist Claims Warmer Ocean Waters Reducing Ice Worldwide
According to a NASA scientist, the pieces to a years-old scientific puzzle have come together to confirm warmer water temperatures are creeping into the Earth's colder areas. Those warm waters are increasing melting and accelerating ice flow in polar areas. view more (2006-03-24)
Fossilized midges provide clues to future climate change
Fossilised midges have helped scientists at the University of Liverpool identify two episodes of abrupt climate change that suggest the UK climate is not as stable as previously thought. view more (2007-07-10)
Seagrass Is In Decline Worldwide, Says UNH Researcher
Around the world, seagrass beds - shallow-water ecosystems that are important habitats, food sources, and sediment stabilizers - are in decline. view more (2006-03-28)
Organic corn: Increasing rotation complexity increases yields
While demand for organic meat and milk is increasing by about 20% per year in the United States, almost all organic grain and forage to support these industries in the mid-Atlantic region is imported from other regions. To meet this demand locally, area farmers need information on expected crop yields and effective management options. view more (2008-05-29)
North Carolina sea levels rising 3 times faster than in previous 500 years, Penn study says
An international team of environmental scientists led by the University of Pennsylvania has shown that sea-level rise, at least in North Carolina, is accelerating. view more (2009-10-29)
Successful series of measurements in Arctic sea ice
The German Research Vessel Polarstern had to prove its ice breaking capabilities in Arctic waters to gain data on two series of long-term research measurements. After working in regions up to latitude 82° N, Polarstern of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in the Helmholtz Association will enter port in Reykjavik... view more...

BOSS: the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) uses a 2.5-meter telescope with a wider field of view than any other large telescope, located on a mountaintop in New Mexico called Apache Point and devoted solely to mapping the universe. view more (2008-09-22)
New Whale Detection Buoys Will Help Ships Take the Right Way through Marine Habitat
Researchers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and the Bioacoustics Research Program (BRP) at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology have teamed up with an international energy company and federal regulators to listen for and help protect endangered North Atlantic right whales in New England waters. view more (2008-04-30)
Scientists discover new reefs teeming with marine life in Brazil
Scientists announced today the discovery of reef structures they believe doubles the size of the Southern Atlantic Ocean's largest and richest reef system, the Abrolhos Bank, off the southern coast of Brazil's Bahia state. The newly discovered area is also far more abundant in marine life than the previously known Abrolhos reef system, one of the... view more... (2008-07-09)
FSU scientists unveil new seasonal hurricane forecasting model
Scientists at The Florida State University's Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS) have developed a new computer model that they hope will predict with unprecedented accuracy how many hurricanes will occur in a given season. view more (2009-07-16)
Volcanic eruptions, ancient global warming linked
A team of scientists announced today confirmation of a link between massive volcanic eruptions along the east coast of Greenland and in the western British Isles about 55 million years ago and a period of global warming that raised sea surface temperatures by five degrees (Celsius) in the tropics and more than six degrees in the Arctic. view more (2007-04-27)
Coral reefs may hold clue to global warming
The El Nino effect, responsible for droughts, floods, cyclones, and storms, is an important aspect of climate change in this area. Information gleaned from the investigation will aid increased knowledge of global warming and may be used by governments when establishing energy policies. Researcher Dr Sandy Tudhope explains the three year project... view more... (2000-01-20)
Overfishing great sharks wiped out North Carolina bay scallop fishery
Fewer big sharks in the oceans led to the destruction of North Carolina's bay scallop fishery and inhibits the recovery of depressed scallop, oyster and clam populations along the U.S. Atlantic Coast, according to an article in the March 30 issue of the journal Science. view more (2007-03-30)
Artificial night lighting jeopardises the survival of sea life
Artificial night lighting can jeopardise the survival of sea turtles by obliterating environmental cues. Writing in the August issue of Biologist, Mike Salmon, of Florida Atlantic University, USA, explains how artificial coastal lighting disturbs female sea turtles' navigation to nest beaches and disorientates their hatchlings so that many fail to... view more...
