Atmosphere and Oceans Finely Balanced
The atmosphere and oceans exist in a delicate state of balance according to research co-ordinated by the University of East Anglia (UEA) and published this month by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). view more (2002-01-24)
Bleak Times For The Orange Roughy
A committee of high-level marine scientists are calling for an immediate drop in fishing effort on deep sea stocks such as the orange roughy. According to a report which is released by ICES today (11 June), most deep sea fish stocks are being overfished. Scientists are recommending that not only should existing fishing pressure be reduced but... view more... (2004-06-10)
New study shows much of the world emerged from last Ice Age together
The end of the recurring, 100,000-year glacial cycles is one of the most prominent and readily identifiable features in records of the Earth's recent climate history. Yet one of the most puzzling questions in climate science has been why different parts of the world, most notably Greenland, appear to have warmed at different times and at different... view more...

Lionfish decimating tropical fish populations, threaten coral reefs
The invasion of predatory lionfish in the Caribbean region poses yet another major threat there to coral reef ecosystems - a new study has found that within a short period after the entry of lionfish into an area, the survival of other reef fishes is slashed by about 80 percent. view more (2008-07-21)
New findings blow a decade of assumptions out of the water
The Atlantic Ocean doesn't receive the mother lode of fixed nitrogen, the building block of life, after all. Instead, comparing fathom for fathom, the Pacific and Indian oceans experience twice the amount of nitrogen fixing as the Atlantic. view more (2007-01-11)
Satellites Spot Mighty Mississippi - In the Atlantic
Scientists using satellite imagery found that at least 23 percent of the water released from the mouth of the Mississippi River from July through September 2004 traveled quite a distance-into the Gulf of Mexico, around the Florida Keys, and into the Atlantic Ocean. view more (2005-09-16)
Overfishing threatens European bluefin tuna
Bluefin tuna disappeared from Danish waters in the 1960s. Now the species could become depleted throughout the northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean, according to analyses by the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Aqua) and University of New Hampshire. The species is highly valued as sushi. view more (2008-11-07)
Call for network to monitor Southern Ocean current
In a commentary published in the journal Science today, Dr John Church of the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystem Cooperative Research Centre and CSIRO, through the Wealth from Oceans Flagship, said a Southern Hemisphere observing network is needed to complement a network of moorings now spanning the North Atlantic Ocean. view more (2007-08-20)
External Magnetic Field Causes The Puzzling Heating Of The Solar Corona
The Russian astrophysicists have theoretically modelled coronal loop oscillations and have shown that the plasma present in coronal loops is quite "normal". So, the puzzle of the Sun`s atmosphere heating remains unresolved. Coronal loops, immense magnetic arches more hot and dense than the coronal... view more... (2002-06-21)
Was El Ni'得 unaffected by the Little Ice Age ?
An extremely intense El Ni'得 event in 1983 prompted an international surveillance programme, involving the deployment of moored or drift measurement buoys and observation satellites. This research effort is proving to be fruitful. The data obtained provide a key to understanding how the two components of the now-famous two-phase system El Ni'得... view more... (2002-03-27)
Did dust bust the 2006 hurricane season forecasts?
A recent NASA study suggests that tiny dust particles may have foiled forecasts that the 2006 hurricane season would be another active one. view more (2007-03-29)

Climate change may affect East Asia differently to North Atlantic nations, study suggests
The extreme effects of climate change on the world depicted in the US blockbuster movie The Day After Tomorrow may not be quite true where East Asia is concerned. view more (2006-06-21)
A better understanding of equatorial Atlantic deep currents
One of the main components of the Atlantic's water-mass circulation is a cold water flow (at 4°C on average) -the North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW)- which is conveyed at depth (between 1500 and 4000 m), sweeping from the Labrador Sea, Norway and Greenland in the polar and sub-polar zones towards the Southern Hemisphere. Along the east coast of... view more... (2001-04-26)
NOAA Report Explains Sea Level Anomaly this Summer along the U.S. Atlantic Coast
Persistent winds and a weakened current in the Mid-Atlantic contributed to higher than normal sea levels along the Eastern Seaboard in June and July, according to a new NOAA technical report. view more (2009-09-03)
Mental health problems do not explain links between handgun ownership and US suicide rates
Mental health problems do not explain the increased risk of suicide among handgun owners, concludes research in Injury Prevention. view more (2002-12-03)
Genetics reveals big fish that almost got away
Researchers from the University of Hawaii, the Wildlife Conservation Society, Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, National Marine Fisheries Service and Projecto Meros do Brazil discovered a new species of fish-a grouper that reaches more than six feet in length and can weigh nearly 1,000 pounds. This newly discovered species can be found... view more... (2008-08-22)
Tipping elements in the Earth's climate system
Anthropogenic forcing could push the Earth's climate system past critical thresholds, so that important components may "tip" into qualitatively different modes of operation. view more (2008-02-05)
'New continent' and species discovered in Atlantic study
A scientist from the University of Aberdeen is leading a team of international researchers whose work will continue our understanding of life in the deepest oceans, and contribute to the global Census of Marine Life. view more (2007-08-20)
Researchers confirm role of massive flood in climate change
Climate modelers at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) have succeeded in reproducing the climate changes caused by a massive freshwater pulse into the North Atlantic that occurred at the beginning of the current warm period 8,000 years ago. view more (2006-01-10)
