UBC study may solve age-old mystery of missing chemicals from Earth's mantle Observations about the early formation of Earth may answer an age-old question about why the planet's mantle is missing some of the matter that should be present, according to UBC geophysicist John Hernlund. view more (2007-12-06)
New findings show persistent El Ni√ħo-like conditions during past global warming During the most recent period in Earth's past with a climate warmer than today, the tropical Pacific was in a stable state of El Ni√ħo-like conditions, according to a new study by researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz. view more (2005-06-24)
CRANFIELD PUMPS WATER TO UGANDA A new drilling rig developed by Cranfield University at Silsoe as part of the research project, "Private Sector Participation in Low Cost Water Well Drilling in Africa" received it's first public demonstration this week.

The learning drill Today’s powerful drills penetrate most concrete walls like a knife through butter. But not all concrete is the same: Depending on the application, different grades are used and they exhibit great differences - also in strength. A garden path made of exposed aggregate concrete is not in the... view more (2002-09-09)

Seismic response to natural gas anomalies in crystalline rocks The research done at the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences has shown that after geochemical experiments, the porosity of crystalline rocks in the middle crust increases sharply due to water-rock interaction. view more (2008-11-05)
Bacteria 'Feed' on Earth's Ocean-Bottom Crust Seafloor bacteria on ocean-bottom rocks are more abundant and diverse than previously thought, appearing to "feed" on the planet's oceanic crust, according to results of a study reported in this week's issue of the journal Nature. view more (2008-05-29)
NASA study solves ocean plant mystery A NASA-sponsored study shows that by using a new technique, scientists can determine what limits the growth of ocean algae, or phytoplankton, and how this affects Earth's climate. view more (2006-09-01)

Most patients can be treated safely at home for deep vein thrombosis New, effective therapies for acute deep vein thrombosis mean that most patients do not need to be admitted to hospital, according to a study in this week's BMJ. These results challenge the traditional notion that these patients must be treated in hospital and adds to the evidence that home... view more (2001-05-16)
Researchers link Ice Age climate-change records to ocean salinity Sudden decreases in temperature over Greenland and tropical rainfall patterns during the last Ice Age have been linked for the first time to rapid changes in the salinity of the north Atlantic Ocean. view more (2006-10-05)
Investigating coral reefs to help understand past and future climate change Increasing Earth temperatures and rising sea levels. Both of these are effects of climate change. view more (2007-05-17)
Ice Age North Atlantic temperatures, tropical oceans linked Sudden shifts in temperature over Greenland and tropical rainfall patterns during the last ice age have been linked for the first time to rapid changes in the salinity of the north Atlantic Ocean, according to research published Oct. 5 in the journal Nature. view more (2006-10-05)
Has the mystery of the Antarctic ice sheet been solved? A team of scientists from Cardiff University's School of Earth and Ocean Sciences and Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales travelled to Africa to find new evidence of climate change which helps explain some of the mystery surrounding the appearance of the Antarctic ice sheet. view more (2008-02-28)
Meteorite Crater Drilling Provides Extensive Samples - and a Mystery Drillings made in the Bosumtwi crater in Ghana, one of the youngest meteorite craters in the world, led to yet another mysterious finding - the rock formation caused by the heat of the meteoric impact is only half as thick as expected. This is the first result from a large international drilling... view more (2004-10-18)
Link between tropical warming and greenhouse gases stronger than ever, say scientists New evidence from climate records of the past provides some of the strongest indications yet of a direct link between tropical warmth and higher greenhouse gas levels, say scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara. view more (2005-10-14)
Arctic sea ice diminished rapidly in 2004 and 2005 The Arctic Ocean's perennial sea ice, which survives the summer melt season and remains year-round, shrank abruptly by 14 percent between 2004 and 2005, according to a newly published study. view more (2006-09-14)
Media invitation: Arctic expedition may find clues to what caused the last ice-age Invitation to a press conference on Thursday 3 June, 12.30pm at the Royal Society, 6 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5AG Scientists will soon be extracting the deepest Arctic sedimentary cores ever drilled from the Lomonosov Ridge, in the deep oceans more than 2,000 km off the coast of Norway.... view more (2004-05-12)
Scientists aim to unlock deep-sea 'secrets' of Earth's crust Scientists from Durham University will use robots to explore the depths of the Atlantic Ocean to study the growth of underwater volcanoes that build the Earth's crust. view more (2008-05-14)
Ocean temperatures and sea level increases 50 percent higher than previously estimated New research suggests that ocean temperature and associated sea level increases between 1961 and 2003 were 50 percent larger than estimated in the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report. view more (2008-06-19)
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)
Geologists discover signs of volcanoes blowing their tops in the deep ocean A research team led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) has uncovered evidence of explosive volcanic eruptions deep beneath the ice-covered surface of the Arctic Ocean. view more (2008-06-26)
