Media Invitation: The 37th CIESM Congress Covering All Mediterranean Marine Sciences
YOU ARE INVITED to report on one of Europe's most important marine science conferences 37th CIESM Congress Forum Barcelona, Spain 7-11 June 2004 CIESM Congresses have been held regularly around the Mediterranean shores since 1919. This conference will bring together more than 700 marine scientists from around the world to present and discuss the... view more... (2004-03-31)
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 treatment of deep vein thrombosis is now routinely... view more...

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 project, which will provide new information... view more... (2004-10-18)
Cold water ocean circulation doesn't work as expected
The familiar model of Atlantic ocean currents that shows a discrete "conveyor belt" of deep, cold water flowing southward from the Labrador Sea is probably all wet. view more (2009-05-14)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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. They will core to a depth of about 500 metres... view more... (2004-05-12)
University of Hawaii at Manoa oceanographers examine mercury levels of pelagic fish in Hawaii
In the open ocean, species of large predatory fish will swim and hunt for food at various depths, which leads to unique diets in these fish. view more (2009-09-01)
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)
Carbon sinks losing the battle with rising emissions
The stabilising influence that land and ocean carbon sinks have on rising carbon emissions is gradually weakening, say scientists attending this week's international Copenhagen Climate Change Conference. view more (2009-03-17)
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)
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)
Oceanic seesaw links Northern and Southern hemisphere during abrupt climate change
Very large and abrupt changes in temperature recorded over Greenland and across the North Atlantic during the last Ice Age were actually global in extent, according to an international team of researchers led by Cardiff University. view more (2009-02-26)
Increasing carbon dioxide and decreasing oxygen in the oceans will make it harder for deep-sea animals to
New calculations made by marine chemists from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) suggest that low-oxygen "dead zones" in the ocean could expand significantly over the next century. view more (2009-04-20)
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)
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)
New life discovered in the deep Mediterranean
Scientists have discovered a new group of microbes thriving in extreme conditions deep in the Mediterranean Sea. Their existence in such hostile environments hints at the possibility of life on other planets. view more (2005-01-13)
