Study Sheds Light on Earth's CO2 Cycles, Possible Impacts of Climate Change
A research team, including Kent State Professor of Geology Dr. Joseph Ortiz, tracing the origin of the large carbon dioxide increase in Earth's atmosphere at the end of the last ice age has detected two ancient "burps" that originated from the deepest parts of the southern ocean around... view more (2007-05-14)

'New' ancient Antarctic sediment reveals climate change history
Recent additions to the premier collection of Southern Ocean sediment cores at Florida State University's Antarctic Marine Geology Research Facility will give international scientists a close-up look at fluctuations that occurred in Antarctica's ice sheet and marine and terrestrial life as the... view more (2008-04-29)

Antarctic ice shelf retreats happened before
The retreat of Antarctic ice shelves is not new according to research published this week (24 Feb) in the journal Geology by scientists from Universities of Durham, Edinburgh and British Antarctic Survey (BAS).   view more (2005-02-23)

Discovery of Antarctic subglacial rivers may challenge excavation plans
Plans to drill deep beneath the frozen wastes of the Antarctic, to investigate subglacial lakes where ancient life is thought to exist, may have to be reviewed following a discovery by a British team led by UCL (University College London) scientists at the Natural Environment Research Council... view more (2006-04-20)

Lucky break gives scientists unique view of underwater eruption
A combination of luck and being in the right place at the right time allowed a University of Florida geologist and other scientists to capture and record an undersea volcanic eruption for the first time ever.   view more (2006-11-27)

Scientists obtain core samples from subsea fault system off Japan
The third expedition of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program's Nankai Trough Seismogenic Zone Experiment (NanTroSEIZE) completed its mission off the Kii Peninsula today.   view more (2008-02-06)

World-first technology enables study of ancient bacteria
Experts at Cardiff University, UK, have designed world-first technology to investigate sustainable energy sources from the ocean bed by isolating ancient high-pressure bacteria from deep sediments.   view more (2005-06-06)

Geoscientists track down the key to massive energy stocks
Geologists in Durham, geochemists in Newcastle and engineers at Heriot-Watt are working in a multi-disciplinary team to solve the problem of overpressure which is a major challenge to drilling, particularly in many new deep-water areas, where large reserves are located. The problem is becoming... view more (1998-09-04)

Crater drilling declared major success
Following three months of around-the-clock work, the Chesapeake Bay Impact Crater Deep Drilling Project successfully completed its operations, extracting more than a mile-long segment of rocks and sediments from the Earth.   view more (2006-01-13)

New technology reveals seal behavior
New technology has allowed an international team including UK scientists from University of St Andrews and British Antarctic Survey to witness for the first time the behaviour of the southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina) and how it relates to its physical environment.   view more (2007-08-08)

Helium isotopes point to the best sources of geothermal energy
With fossil fuel sources depleting and global warming on the rise, exploring alternative means of power for humans is a necessary reality.   view more (2007-12-03)

Newfound ancient African megadroughts may have driven the evolution of humans and fishes
From 135,000 to 90,000 years ago tropical Africa had megadroughts more extreme and widespread than any previously known for that region, according to new research.   view more (2007-10-09)

Methane Eruptions On The Sea Floor - Science article: New evidence, new methods
Methane is a highly potent greenhouse gas. In its solid, ice form, called methane hydrate, it is stored in large amounts below the sea floor. Some signs indicate that there have been repeated intense undersea methane emissions over the course of the Earth's history. Often, these emissions appeared... view more (2003-02-19)

Gulf warm-water eddies intensify hurricane changes
Scientists monitoring ocean heat and circulation in the Gulf of Mexico during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita have a new understanding of how these tropical storms can gain intensity so quickly: The Gulf of Mexico's "Loop Current" is likely intensifying hurricanes that pass over eddies of... view more (2005-10-04)

Elephant seal pups suffer from ocean warming
Ocean warming has a negative impact on the condition of elephant seals, reveals a study published in the Open Access journal BMC Biology. High ocean temperatures observed from 1975 to the late 1990s are correlated with a 28% decrease in the weight of elephant seal pups. Elephant seals are shown to... view more (2005-04-18)

Study reconciles long-standing contradiction of deep-earth dynamics
Researchers at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory recently resolved a long-standing contradiction about the workings of the deep Earth.   view more (2005-08-25)

North Pole's ancient past holds lessons for future global warming
Detailed information on greenhouse gasses and a subtropical heat wave at the North Pole 55 million years ago is providing information about the Earth's past as well as a portent for its future, according to reports in the June 1 issue of Nature.   view more (2006-06-01)

Durham geologists land funding for vital seabed survey equipment
Durham University researchers in Geological Sciences are set to focus their deep-sea surveying skills on shallower waters to produce new information that will help shipping, minerals and offshore oil industries. They are partners in a five-university project that has secured key funding in the... view more (2000-12-19)

Scientists Discover First Seafloor Vents on Ultraslow-Spreading Ridge
Scientists have found one of the largest fields of seafloor vents gushing super-hot, mineral-rich fluids on a mid-ocean ridge that, until now, remained elusive to the ten-year hunt to find them.    view more (2007-04-16)
