Methane shock tilted the Ocean - Nature article of a marine scientist from Bremen
Up until now, scientists had to rely upon assumptions: at some point in time, on the boarder between the Paleocene and the Eocene 55 million years ago, the ocean lost its balalance. All of a sudden about 70% of all the foraminifera living on the seafloor became extinct. Just as suddenly, new, up... view more (1999-10-19)

Frozen Natural Gas Discovered at Unexpectedly Shallow Depths Below Seafloor
An international team of research scientists has reported greater knowledge of how gas hydrate deposits form in nature, subsequent to a scientific ocean-drilling expedition off Canada's western coast.   view more (2006-08-22)

Scientists gain new insights into 'frozen' methane beneath ocean floor
An international team of scientists supported by the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) has completed a unique research expedition aimed at recovering samples of gas hydrate, an ice-like substance hidden beneath the seafloor off Canada's western coast.   view more (2005-11-01)

Deep-ocean drilling researchers target earthquake and tsunami zone
Researchers fresh from an eight-week scientific drilling expedition off the Pacific coast of Japan today reported their discovery of strong variation in the tectonic stresses in a region notorious for generating devastating earthquakes and tsunamis, the Nankai Trough.   view more (2007-12-13)

Climate change will affect carbon sequestration in oceans, model shows
The direct injection of carbon dioxide deep into the ocean has been suggested as one method to help control rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and mitigate the effects of global warming.   view more (2005-09-08)

Mixing it, Southern Ocean style
Sea water being churned in the ocean off Antarctica may be having a greater effect on global patterns of ocean movement than previously thought, according to new research reported in this week's edition of the international journal Science (9 January 2004).   view more (2004-01-05)

In the Cornucopia of the European Project of Ice Coring in Antarctica: the oldest Antarctic ice core
On Tuesday 21th of December 2004 a European team involved in Epica (European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica) reached the drilling depth of 3270.2, which is five meters above the bedrock at Dome C, on the central plateau of the east Antarctic ice sheet. The ice is melting at the bedrock and it... view more (2005-01-13)

Tracking Climate Change
DFG funds the first European drilling expedition to the North Pole In August 2004, a new and exciting chapter will be opened in the history of Arctic research. In the Arctic Coring Expedition (ACEX), three icebreakers will set off in the direction of the North Pole to extract cores from beneath the... view more (2004-06-08)

Drilling for science and exploration
On 19th February 2008 the GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam (GFZ) officially commenced the operation of the new drill rig InnovaRig at the geothermal drill site at Dürrnhaar (Bavaria).

Aurora Borealis breaks new grounds - and old ice
It can crush ice sideways and stay precisely on station to an accuracy of a metre. It can drill a hole 1,000 metres deep into the seabed while floating above 5,000 metres of ocean and it can generate 55 megawatts of power. So far, Aurora Borealis is the most unusual ship that has never been built,... view more (2007-12-03)

Stanford researchers say living corals thousands of years old hold clues to past climate changes
