Ancient climate secrets raised from ocean depths
Scientists aboard the research vessel, Southern Surveyor, return to Hobart today with a collection of coral samples and photographs taken in the Southern Ocean at greater depths than ever before. view more (2008-02-04)
A glimpse at the Earth's crust deep below the Atlantic
Long-term variations in volcanism help explain the birth, evolution and death of striking geological features called oceanic core complexes on the ocean floor, says geologist Dr Bram Murton of the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton. view more (2009-11-13)
Melting of the Greenland ice cap may have consequences for climatic change
According to two international-research studies on the last ice age, studies with the participation of Dr Rainer Zahn, research professor in the ICREA at the UAB Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA), before the great ice sheets of the Arctic Ocean began to melt, early sporadic episodes of melting of the old ice sheet which... view more...

Scientific sub makes deep-sea discoveries
A four-week expedition to explore the deep ocean south-west of Tasmania has revealed new species of animals and more evidence of impacts of increasing carbon dioxide on deep-sea corals. view more (2009-01-21)
Nanoporous 'sponge' removes mercury from offshore produced waters
Contaminated water resulting from offshore oil and gas platform drilling contains mercury and other toxic heavy metals. view more (2006-03-30)
Ecologists use oceanographic data to predict future climate change
Ecologists and oceanographers are attempting to predict the future impacts of climate change by reconstructing the past behavior of Arctic climate and ocean circulation. view more (2008-11-07)
Deep-sea sediments could safely store man-made carbon dioxide
An innovative solution for the man-made carbon dioxide fouling our skies could rest far beneath the surface of the ocean, say scientists at Harvard University. view more (2006-08-08)
Global climate change: a load of poo?
Plankton poo could be the key to understanding how much carbon dioxide our oceans can store according to Tasmanian researcher Dr Karin Beaumont. view more (2004-09-09)
Ancient global warming episode holds clues to future climate, UH Manoa researcher says
When scientists take Earth's temperature, they usually use thermometers. But when scientists want to figure out Earth's temperature in the past, they have to rely on other tools. view more (2009-07-17)
Deep magmatic plumbing of mid-ocean ridges revealed
Some of the highest quality images ever taken of the Earth's lower crust reveal that the upper and lower crust form in two distinctly different ways. view more (2005-08-25)
How To Catch El-Nino
The scientists from Obninsk Institute of Experimental Meteorology know how to predict the coming of El-Nino - a phenomenon, which causes the ocean surface in Equatorial and South-East parts of the Pacific Ocean to heat too fast. The temperature rises on 3-4 degrees in 24 hours, but the consequences may be catastrophic - they may result in many... view more... (2002-04-02)
Marine life stirs ocean enough to affect climate, says FSU study
Oceanographers worldwide pay close attention to phytoplankton and with good reason. The microscopic plants that form the vast foundation of the marine food chain generate a staggering amount of power. view more (2006-10-16)
Researchers identify technique that improves ACL surgery
Surgeons from Hospital for Special Surgery in New York have identified a drilling technique that improves the outcome of surgery to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). view more (2009-07-10)
Richness of Marine Life is Under Threat
Future potential for the production of new wonder drugs - including anti-cancer agents - from marine animals and plants, is under threat according to biodiversity expert Professor Carlo Heip, speaking at the European marine science and ocean technology conference EurOCEAN 2004 in Galway, today. According to Professor Heip, marine biodiversity -... view more... (2004-05-11)
'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 climate cooled considerably between 20 and 14 million... view more...

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 Antarctica. view more (2007-05-14)
Ocean invaders in deep time
Much has been made of the economic impacts of recent biological invasions, but what are the implications of invasions in deep time? Luiz Rocha leads geneticists who time travel through ocean environments. view more (2005-10-14)
First buoy to monitor ocean acidification launched
The first buoy to monitor ocean acidification has been launched in the Gulf of Alaska. Attached to the 10-foot-diameter buoy are sensors to measure climate indicators. view more (2007-06-13)
Caltech scientists lead deep-sea discovery voyage
Scientists from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and an international team of collaborators have returned from a month-long deep-sea voyage to a marine reserve near Tasmania, Australia, that not only netted coral-reef samples likely to provide insight into the impact of climate change on the world's oceans, but also brought to... view more...

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 urgent, since demand may outstrip current supplies... view more... (1998-09-04)
