Tsunami evacuation buildings: another way to save lives in the Pacific Northwest
Some time soon, a powerful earthquake will trigger a massive tsunami that will flood the Pacific Northwest, destroying homes and threatening the lives of tens of thousands of people, says Yumei Wang, a geotechnical engineer at the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries in Portland. view more (2009-10-20)
Stalagmites May Predict Next Big One along the New Madrid Seismic Zone
Small white stalagmites lining caves in the Midwest may help scientists chronicle the history of the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ) - and even predict when the next big earthquake may strike. view more (2008-09-26)
The Privilege Of Sharing A Grave With A Horse
Maria Otchir-Gorjaeva, archaeologist at Kalmyk Institute for Social, Economic and Law Studies, has studied horse harness of the 6th-4th centuries B.C. She believes that this equipment is of considerable importance and helps to better understand the culture of those, who used to inhabit the vast expanses of Eurasian steppe. Horses were of a most... view more... (2002-06-17)
San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth reveals new insights into the 'earthquake machine'
The San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD)-the first underground observatory to provide physical samples and real-time seismological data from deep inside an active fault zone-is yielding surprising new clues about the origin of earthquakes. view more (2005-12-06)
CO2 emissions could violate EPA ocean-quality standards within decades
In a commentary in the September 25, 2007, issue of the Geophysical Research Letters (GRL), a large team of scientists state that human-induced carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions will alter ocean chemistry to the point where it will violate U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Quality Criteria [1976] by mid-century if emissions are not dramatically... view more...

Study shows single insecticide application can kill 3 cockroach generations
One dose of an insecticide can kill three generations of cockroaches as they feed off of each other and transfer the poison, according to Purdue University entomologists who tested the effectiveness of a specific gel bait. view more (2008-06-24)
Undersea microbes active but living on the slow side
Deeply buried ocean sediments may house populations of tiny organisms that have extremely low maintenance energy needs and population turnover rates of anywhere from 200 to 2,000 years. view more (2006-02-21)
Bleach Found to Neutralize Mold Allergens
Researchers at National Jewish Medical and Research Center have demonstrated that dilute bleach not only kills common household mold, but may also neutralize the mold allergens that cause most mold-related health complaints. view more (2005-09-26)
Study findings help EMS respond to cardiac arrest emergencies more safely and efficiently
When cardiac arrest patients cannot successfully be resuscitated by emergency medical services in the field, lifesaving attempts to race them to a nearby hospital via ambulance often prove to be futile. view more (2008-09-24)
Smithsonian coral biodiversity survey of Panama's Pearl Islands
A comprehensive survey of coral biodiversity in Panama's Las Perlas Archipelago, published in the journal Environmental Conservation by researchers from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and their colleagues, has resulted in clear conservation recommendations for a new coastal management plan. view more (2008-07-08)
A new magnetic phenomenon may improve RAM memories and the storage capacity of hard drives
The application of 'displaced vortex states'-small magnetic circular movements of just a few thousandths of a millimetre-may accelerate the arrival of a new type of magnetic memory (MRAM) that does not disappear when a computer is switched off. view more (2006-03-03)
For sardine and anchovy, El Ni'ħo events do not always have the same effects
Near the coasts of Peru and Chile, the Humboldt Current ecosystem is the world's most productive fishing zone. This cold-current zone, with frequent coastal upwellings (2), occupies less than 1 % of the world's ocean surface and provides 15 to 20 % of global maritime catches. view more (2005-03-01)
Nanopowder Consisting Of Identical Particles
High-quality nanopowders made of refractory ceramics are a rare and very expensive material. All known methods of their manufacturing face the same problems - scanty quantities, extensive variety of particle sizes and expensive production. Researchers from the town of Tomsk have invented and manufactured a device to produce a choice selection of... view more... (2004-03-26)
'Missing Beach' Returns to Donegal
The sandy beach at Five-Finger Strand in Donegal has returned as predicted by University of Ulster researchers. The beach, which had lost its sand and for the past several years was an unattractive gravely surface, has now reverted to its former glory. A study, undertaken by the University's Coastal Research Group in the face of local concerns,... view more... (2004-02-19)
Pattern of Human Ebola Outbreaks
A visiting biologist at the University of California, San Diego and her colleagues in Africa and Britain have shown that there are close linkages between outbreaks of Ebola hemorrhagic fever in human and wildlife populations, and that climate may influence the spread of the disease. view more (2006-11-16)
Cornell finds deadly fish virus in the Northeast is spreading to other species
Cornell researchers have found that a deadly fish virus detected in the northeastern United States for the first time in June in two species has probably spread to at least two more. view more (2006-07-20)
Inflammation may cause preterm labor and fetal deaths

Fewer Deaths than 2004, but Earthquakes Still Kill Nearly 90,000 in 2005
Although there were fewer deaths worldwide in 2005 due to earthquakes, more than 89,353 casualties were reported, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and confirmed by the United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). view more (2006-01-16)
Geron Demonstrates hESC-derived cardiomyocytes improve heart function after myocardial infarction
Geron Corporation (Nasdaq: GERN) today reported its scientists and collaborators have demonstrated that human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived cardiomyocytes improve heart function when transplanted after myocardial infarction. view more (2007-08-27)
Male contraception: One door opens, another closes
