NOAA and Louisiana scientists predict largest Gulf of Mexico 'dead zone' on record
NOAA-supported scientists from the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium and Louisiana State University are forecasting that the "dead zone" off the coast of Louisiana and Texas in the Gulf of Mexico this summer could be the largest on record. view more (2008-07-16)
Biofuel production could undercut efforts to shrink Gulf 'Dead Zone'
Scientists in Pennsylvania report that boosting production of crops used to make biofuels could make a difficult task to shrink a vast, oxygen-depleted "dead zone" in the Gulf of Mexico more difficult. view more (2009-09-17)
NOAA Forecast Predicts Large
A team of NOAA-supported scientists from the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium, Louisiana State University, and the University of Michigan is forecasting that the "dead zone" off the coast of Louisiana and Texas in the Gulf of Mexico this summer could be one of the largest on record. view more (2009-06-19)
LSU and Ohio State Battle on Football Field, Collaborate in Research Field
LSU and Ohio State University will battle for the BCS National College Football Championship in the Superdome early next week, but if the game was held in the Louisiana wetlands instead, the entire field would disappear before halftime. view more (2008-01-07)
U-M researcher and colleagues predict large 2009 Gulf of Mexico 'dead zone'; Chesapeake Bay's oxygen-starved zone likely to shrink
University of Michigan aquatic ecologist Donald Scavia and his colleagues say this year's Gulf of Mexico "dead zone" could be one of the largest on record, continuing a decades-long trend that threatens the health of a half-billion-dollar fishery. view more (2009-06-19)
Study shows continued spread of 'dead zones'
A global study led by Professor Robert Diaz of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, College of William and Mary, shows that the number of "dead zones"-areas of seafloor with too little oxygen for most marine life-has increased by a third between 1995 and 2007. view more (2008-08-15)
'Dead Zone' causing wave of death off Oregon coast
The most severe low-oxygen ocean conditions ever observed on the West Coast of the United States have turned parts of the seafloor off Oregon into a carpet of dead Dungeness crabs and rotting sea worms, a new survey shows. Virtually all of the fish appear to have fled the area. view more (2006-08-11)
Cell removal technique could lead to cheaper drugs
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have pioneered a simple way to remove dead cells from cell cultures used to make protein-based drugs, which are increasingly prescribed to treat a range of illnesses. view more (2008-08-27)
Marine 'dead zone' off Oregon is spreading
A hypoxic "dead zone" has formed off the Oregon Coast for the fifth time in five years, according to researchers at Oregon State University. view more (2006-07-28)
Ocean 'dead zones' trigger sex changes in fish, posing extinction threat
Oxygen depletion in the world's oceans, primarily caused by agricultural run-off and pollution, could spark the development of far more male fish than female, thereby threatening some species with extinction. view more (2006-03-30)
Circulation of 'disaster myths' in Haiti could hinder appropriate disposal of bodies
Myths about the infectious disease threat posed by dead bodies could lead to insensitive and inappropriate treatment of victims' bodies following the floods in Haiti, and need to be checked, according to a public health researcher who has studied the potential risks at length. view more (2004-09-30)
European coastal zone management becomes hot item
The Institute for Environmental Studies of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is to organise jointly with the University of East Anglia a four-day workshop on the future of European coastal zone management, at the invitation of the European Commission. From Monday, 4 June to Thursday, 5 June, a group of fifty European coastal zone managers,... view more... (2003-05-22)
New study ranks 'hotspots' of human impact on coastal areas
Coastal marine ecosystems are at risk worldwide as a result of human activities, according to scientists at UC Santa Barbara who have recently published a study in the Journal of Conservation Letters. view more (2009-07-10)
Call for closer examination of 'brain death' as the end of life
The medical diagnosis of brain death is at odds with our traditional view of when death actually occurs. view more (2007-09-12)
Is the Dead Sea dying?
The water levels in the Dead Sea - the deepest point on Earth - are dropping at an alarming rate with serious environmental consequences, according to Shahrazad Abu Ghazleh and colleagues from the University of Technology in Darmstadt, Germany. view more (2009-03-04)
New report says human tampering threatens planet's life-sustaining surface
In a report released today, scientists call for a new systematic study of the Earth's "critical zone"-the life-sustaining outermost surface of the planet, from the vegetation canopy to groundwater and everything in between.Understanding and predicting responses to global and regional change is necessary, they say, to mitigate the impacts... view more...

Shoes To Pass To The Next World
The archaeologist Dmitry Osipov studies medieval Russian footwear. This time he took an interest in ritual footwear that was used at funerals. For a long time already the scientists constantly come across unusual footwear near the dead. But it has not been studied until now, while the problem itself turned out to be most interesting. A couple of... view more... (2002-04-26)
Living close to heavy industry may increase risk of lung cancer
Living close to heavy industry may increase the risk of developing lung cancer, although the effect is relatively modest, suggests research published ahead of print in Thorax. view more (2006-09-28)
Brown Scientist Finds Coastal Dead Zones May Benefit Some Species
Coastal dead zones, an increasing concern to ecologists, the fishing industry and the public, may not be as devoid of life after all. A Brown scientist has found that dead zones do indeed support marine life, and that at least one commercially valuable clam actually benefits from oxygen-depleted waters. view more (2008-10-15)
Eastern California shear zone puzzles seismologists
Residents and seismologists in Northern California focus on the San Andreas Fault, but a Penn State researcher thinks more questions should be asked about the Eastern California Shear Zone, a fault that ends or dissipates without a clear connection. view more (2005-10-18)
