Europeans took the long way round - new support for southern exit out of Africa
All non-Africans descend from a group of humans that left Africa by a coastal route across the mouth of the Red Sea to South Asia - rather than by a direct route to Europe - less than 80,000 years ago. view more (2005-05-12)
Scientists Conduct Shark Survey off U.S. East Coast
Sandbar, dusky and tiger sharks are among dozens of shark species living in the coastal waters off the U.S. East Coast. Little is known about many of the species, but a survey begun nearly 25 years ago is helping scientists and fishery resource managers to monitor shark populations and their role in marine ecosystems. view more (2009-08-14)
LSU researchers publish commentary on delta preservation with coastal science experts
The Mississippi River delta region is of huge economic importance to the nation. As a "working coast," much of the South's major industries - particularly seafood and petroleum - are largely dependent on the health of the delta and its surrounding areas. After the 2005 hurricane season, however, experts are voicing growing concerns over... view more... (2007-03-23)
Modelling To Develop European Sand Dredging Guidelines
Computer predictions of the effects of commercial sea-sand dredging on coastal erosion, produced by an international team headed by Dr Alan Davies of the University of Wales, Bangor`s School of Ocean Sciences, will play a key role in developing new European Guidelines for siting commercial sand dredging activities. Increased demand for North Sea... view more... (2002-08-07)
Cell Migration And Inflammation
Chronic inflammation comprises a vast array of diseases that affect millions of people worldwide. Chronic inflammatory diseases include asthma, arthritis, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, autoimmune diseases and allergies, to name but a few. view more (2005-02-23)
Fossil steroids record the advent of earliest known animals
Using compounds preserved in sedimentary rocks more than 635 million years old, researchers have found some of the earliest evidence for the existence of animals. view more (2009-02-05)
New discovery about the formation of new brain cells
The generation of new nerve cells in the brain is regulated by a peptide known as C3a, which directly affects the stem cells' maturation into nerve cells and is also important for the migration of new nerve cells through the brain tissue, reveals new research from the Sahlgrenska Academy published in the journal Stem Cells. view more (2009-11-24)
Erosion rates double along portion of Alaska's coast
Skyrocketing coastal erosion occurred in Alaska between 2002 and 2007 along a 64 kilometer (40 mile) stretch of the Beaufort Sea, a new study finds. The surge of erosion in recent years, averaging more than double historical rates, is threatening coastal towns and destroying Alaskan cultural relics. view more (2009-02-19)
Resilience concepts poised to aid management of coastal marine ecosystems
The January 2008 issue of BioScience includes a special section entitled "Managing for Resilience in Coastal Marine Ecosystems." The four articles in the section highlight different aspects of attempts to incorporate modern concepts from mathematical ecology into ecosystem-based management of coastal marine areas. view more (2008-01-02)
LSU professor helps India prepare for impact of global warming
Growing concern over the potential impact of global warming has spurred action from Louisiana to India. view more (2007-04-16)
We're off then: the evolution of bat migration
Not just birds, but also a few species of bats face a long journey every year. Researchers at Princeton University in the U.S. and at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Radolfzell, Germany studied the migratory behaviour of the largest extant family of bats, the so-called "Vespertilionidae" with the help of mathematical models. view more (2009-11-24)
Viral marker of human migration suspect
A benign virus previously used as a marker in tracing human migration may be unreliable. view more (2006-10-25)
St. Jude scientists discover a new mechanism controlling neuronal migration
The molecular machinery that helps brain cells migrate to their correct place in the developing brain has been identified by scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. view more (2009-07-16)
Ida now a coastal low assaulting the Mid-Atlantic
Ida is one stubborn girl. Her remnants have moved out to sea and reformed as a powerful coastal low pressure system that's been raining on the mid-Atlantic since Tuesday night, November 10. view more (2009-11-13)
New European research network to make EC policies on immigration and integration more knowledge-based starts on 13th March in Amsterdam
On 13th and 14th of March the Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA) hosts the constitutive meeting of the Board of Directors of IMISCOE, the new network of excellence for issues on migration, integration and social cohesion. At the meeting representatives of nineteen European research institutions will take the first step towards providing more... view more... (2004-03-09)
Keeping our sights on big breakers with radar
Scientists of the Geesthacht GKSS Research Centre have developed a radar system with which it is possible to study the behaviour of sea waves. view more (2009-08-13)
Basis created for directing and filming blood vessels
A new method of filming blood-vessel cells that move in accordance with targeted signals has been developed by researchers at Uppsala University in collaboration with researchers at the University of California. The method can also be used to study how migration of cancer cells and nerves can be controlled. view more (2008-03-27)
Double trouble for water life
Excess phosphorus and nitrogen produced by human activities on neighboring land is making its way into our coastal waters and degrading both water quality and aquatic life. view more (2009-05-19)
Prehistoric origins of stomach ulcers uncovered
An international team of scientists has discovered that the ubiquitous bacteria that causes most painful stomach ulcers has been present in the human digestive system since modern man migrated from Africa over 60,000 years ago. view more (2007-02-08)
Unique Coastal Defence Research
'We will be comparing the 3D beach evolution and sediment transport in the CRF model with measurements made on the Sussex coast at Elmer, on which the model is based,' explains Dr Chadwick, Reader in Coastal Engineering. 'The CRF data will also be compared against calculations of beach evolution and sediment transport derived from numerical... view more... (1998-12-23)
