ANDRILL's 2nd Antarctic drilling season exceeds all expectations
A second season in Antarctica for the Antarctic Geological Drilling (ANDRILL) Program has exceeded all expectations, according to the co-chief scientists of the program's Southern McMurdo Sound Project. view more (2007-11-28)
Iron isotopes as a tool in oceanography
New research involving scientists from the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (NOCS) highlights the potential utility of iron isotopes for addressing important questions in ocean science. view more (2009-07-31)
The Agulhas Current, in the southern hemisphere, may influence climate in Europe
Her PhD thesis "Surface and Deep Circulation off South Africa: Agulhas Leakage Influence on the Meridional Overturning Circulation During the Last 345 kyr" presented data on a major ocean current in the southern hemisphere, the Agulhas Current, which transports warm waters from the tropical Indian Ocean to the southern tip of Africa. view more (2009-03-11)
UCL scientists create first earthquakes in the laboratory
Scientists at UCL have recreated earthquakes in the laboratory for the first time allowing them to better understand the origin of the largest and most violent earthquakes. This is the first time scientists have been able to generate and observe deep and intermediate focus earthquakes in the laboratory, recreating the exact pressure and... view more... (2002-11-14)
International Greenland ice coring effort sets new drilling record in 2009
A new international research effort on the Greenland ice sheet with the University of Colorado at Boulder as the lead U.S. institution set a record for single-season deep ice-core drilling this summer, recovering more than a mile of ice core that is expected to help scientists better assess the risks of abrupt climate change in the future. view more (2009-08-27)
Robot Vehicle Surveys Deep Sea Off Pacific Northwest
The first scientific mission with Sentry, a newly developed robot capable of diving as deep as 5,000 meters (3.1 miles) into the ocean, has been successfully completed by scientists and engineers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and the University of Washington (UW). view more (2008-08-14)
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 project aims to place new water supply technology in the hands of small private sector contractors in African... view more... (2000-09-26)
What goes down, must come up: Earth's leaky mantle
A new analysis of the processes that constantly stir the Earth's deep mantle is helping to explain how the mantle holds onto a portion of ancient noble gases that were trapped during the Earth's formation. view more (2009-05-28)
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 same league as a strongroom which is protected by... view more... (2002-09-09)
Can ancient rocks yield clues about catastrophes like Hurricane Katrina?
Hurricane Katrina and other natural catastrophes in recent years have shown how vulnerable mankind is in the face of nature. view more (2005-09-08)
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)
Scientists link volcanic eruptions that formed North Atlantic Ocean to ancient global warming
Scientists examining a spike in worldwide ocean temperatures 55 million years ago have linked it to massive volcanic eruptions that pushed Greenland and northwest Europe apart to create the North Atlantic Ocean. view more (2007-04-27)
NASA co-sponsors ocean voyage to probe climate-relevant gases
More than 30 scientists will embark next week on a research mission to the Southern Ocean. Researchers will battle the elements to study how gases important to climate change move between the atmosphere and the ocean under high winds and seas. view more (2008-02-22)
Dinosaurs' climate shifted too, reports show
Ancient rocks from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean suggest dramatic climate changes during the dinosaur-dominated Mesozoic Era, a time once thought to have been monotonously hot and humid. view more (2006-09-25)
Science adopts a new definition of seawater
In Paris late last month the General Assembly of UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) accepted the case for the introduction of a new international thermodynamic description of seawater, cast in terms of a new salinity variable called Absolute Salinity. view more (2009-07-20)
Walrus Calves Stranded by Melting Sea Ice
Scientists have reported an unprecedented number of unaccompanied and possibly abandoned walrus calves in the Arctic Ocean, where melting sea ice may be forcing mothers to abandon their pups as the mothers follow the rapidly retreating ice edge north. view more (2006-04-14)
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)

State of the steric sea level rise, 1955-2003
Based on a detailed analysis of ocean vertical temperature profiles for the 1955-2008 period, Sydney Levitus, lead author, talks about the change of global average sea level induced by the observed warming of the world ocean during the past 53 years. view more (2009-02-17)
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)
