Deep-sea species' loss could lead to oceans' collapse, study suggests
The loss of deep-sea species poses a severe threat to the future of the oceans, suggests a new report publishing early online on December 27th and in the January 8th issue of Current Biology, a publication of Cell Press. view more (2007-12-28)
Scientists uncover the source of an almost 2 billion year delay in animal evolution
A deficiency of oxygen and the heavy metal molybdenum in the ancient deep ocean may have delayed the evolution of animal life on Earth for nearly two billion years. view more (2008-03-27)
U. of Colorado study shows massive CO2 burps from ocean to atmosphere at end of last ice age
A University of Colorado at Boulder-led research team tracing the origin of a 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 oceans. view more (2007-05-11)
Science teachers compete for ocean research cruise prize
Southampton Oceanography Centre is inviting science and geography teachers in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight to compete for an all expenses paid fortnight aboard a marine research cruise to Portugal. The winning teachers will be asked to send back reports and video messages to classrooms across the country via an interactive website - the... view more... (2003-04-02)
New Deep-Sea Coral Discovered on NOAA-Supported Mission
Scientists identified seven new species of bamboo coral discovered on a NOAA-funded mission in the deep waters of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. view more (2009-03-06)
Some of Earth's climate troubles should face burial at sea, scientists say
Making bales with 30 percent of global crop residues - the stalks and such left after harvesting - and then sinking the bales into the deep ocean could reduce the build up of global carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by up to 15 percent a year, according to just published calculations. view more (2009-01-29)
Carbon offset warning from international team of scientists
Leading marine scientists from across the world have issued a warning that it is too early to sell carbon offsets from ocean iron fertilisation. view more (2008-01-11)
Deep and Crisp and Eaten: Scotland's Deep- Fried Mars Bar
Scotland has had a reputation as the home of the deep-fried Mars bar for many years. Researchers Dr Mark Petticrew, from the University of Glasgow, and Dr David Morrison had never actually seen them for sale but after a recent mention by Jay Leno, host of NBC's Tonight Show they set out to find if it is myth or fact. view more (2004-12-17)
Into the abyss: Deep-sixing carbon
Imagine a gigantic, inflatable, sausage-like bag capable of storing 160 million tonnes of CO2 - the equivalent of 2.2 days of current global emissions. view more (2008-02-19)
Catastrophic 'lake burst' chills climate
Ocean circulation changes during the present warm interglacial were more extensive than previously thought, according to new research by the University of East Anglia (UEA) and Cardiff University. view more (2006-06-30)
Deep in the ocean, a clam that acts like a plant
How does life survive in the black depths of the ocean? At the surface, sunlight allows green plants to "fix" carbon from the air to build their bodies. view more (2007-02-21)
Scientists reveal fate of Earth's oceans
Scientists at The University of Manchester have uncovered the first evidence of seawater deep inside the Earth shedding new light on the fate of the planet's oceans, according to research published in Nature. view more (2006-05-11)
Perforating aircraft wings with minute holes could make for more efficient flying.
One way to make aeroplanes fly more efficiently is to drill millions of tiny holes in the leading edges of the wings. Like the dimples on a golf ball this has the effect of reducing drag. However, producing these holes on a manufacturing scale is not yet commercially feasible. Researchers at Heriot-Watt University, funded by the Engineering and... view more... (2002-01-14)
Studies Evaluate the Anatomy and Stability of ACL Reconstruction with Different Techniques
An improved understanding of the anatomy of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in recent years has generated a renewed interest in the evaluation of surgical techniques to repair the knee ligament. In a study to be presented at the 2009 American Orthopaedic Society of Sports Medicine Specialty Day in Las Vegas, researchers analyzed various... view more... (2009-03-02)
Southern Ocean could slow global warming
The Southern Ocean may slow the rate of global warming by absorbing significantly more heat and carbon dioxide than previously thought, according to new research. view more (2006-12-06)
Tracing poisonous gases in the ocean
About one and a half years ago the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft assigned the Research Center Ocean Margins to the University of Bremen. In the future the Center shall act as a center of excellence in the field of marine research. Having completed its building-up phase today the first marine research expedition is launched in Capetown.... view more... (2003-01-21)
Lucky find off Galapagos
During an expedition off the South American coast, an international team of ocean scientists discovered that the gases ethane and propane are widespread, and are being produced by microorganisms in deeply buried sediments. view more (2006-09-22)
Ancient Arctic water cycles are red flags to future global warming
Ancient plant life recovered in recent Arctic Ocean sampling cores shows that at the time of the last major global warming, humidity, precipitation levels and salinity of the ocean water altered drastically, along with the elevated temperatures and levels of greenhouse gases. view more (2006-08-14)
Climate change signal detected in the Indian Ocean
The signature of climate change over the past 40 years has been identified in temperatures of the Indian Ocean near Australia. view more (2007-05-31)
Eddies Warm Up The Ocean
Eddies appear in the ocean like in the atmosphere. Atmospheric eddies are short-lived, extremely speedy, and often very hazardous. Oceanic eddies are slower and can be observed only with the use of special equipment, but these eddies gently mixing ocean waters affect the climate in general. For more than ten years specialists from the Pacific... view more... (2002-02-19)
