Geologists Discover New Way of Estimating Size and Frequency of Meteorite Impacts
Scientists have developed a new way of determining the size and frequency of meteorites that have collided with Earth.   view more (2008-04-14)

The 37th CIESM Congress Concludes That The Mediterranean Is A Victim Of Its Own Success
CIESM calls for urgent and massive funding to support Mediterranean marine science so that we can know more about endangered marine life and deep-sea ecosystems on our own Planet than about the remote possibility of life in outer space. The Mediterranean Sea is now facing unprecedented pressure as... view more (2004-06-25)

Geoscience converges under pressure
The contents of the deep Earth affect the planet as a whole, including life at its surface, but scientists must find unusual ways to "see" it.   view more (2007-05-22)

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)

Co-operation between GSF and clinic improves outlook for sarcoma patients: Effectiveness of local, deep hyperthermia proved in phase III study

Changes in Ocean Circulation Could Lead To Rapid Regional Sea Level Change
One of the major consequences of future ocean circulation changes would be sea level change. This is shown in a new study by scientists from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany which was published in the recent issue of "Climate Dynamics". They investigated the scenario of... view more (2005-04-04)

Cooling Off Periods
Research by a team of Cambridge scientists has provided new clues about the first dramatic cooling of the Earth's climate 34 million years ago. The team, based at the University of Cambridge's Department of Earth Sciences said that ocean temperature drops were apparently not responsible for the... view more (2000-01-12)

Crater drilling declared major success
Following three months of around-the-clock work, the Chesapeake Bay Impact Crater Deep Drilling Project successfully completed its operations, extracting more than a mile-long segment of rocks and sediments from the Earth.   view more (2006-01-13)

Opening Atlantic Leaves Scots Isle Platinum Rich
The Platinum Group Elements (PGEs) are contained in mineral grains from the Rum Layered Intrusion, which represents the eroded roots of a once large volcano. They were formed deep in the crust as a plume of molten rock pushed up from deep within the Earth, causing huge volcanic eruptions, as well... view more (1999-02-08)

Tissue Engineering Restores Cornea
The Moscow scientists have conducted clinical trials of a new method for treatment of deep burns of cornea. Their effort has been supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research.   view more (2005-04-05)

Obesity strongly linked to pulmonary embolism and deep venous thrombosis
Since 1927, obesity has been thought to be a risk factor for fatal pulmonary embolism (PE). Because of the high proportion of obesity in the general population, previous studies have not determined whether obesity is an independent risk factor for PE or deep venous thrombosis (DVT).   view more (2005-09-09)

New research to help guarantee future of oil supplies
Scientists at the University of Liverpool are working with leading oil companies to further understanding of the nature of oil and gas reservoirs within deeply buried submarine channels.   view more (2006-01-05)

Low oxygen and molybdenum in ancient oceans delayed evolution of life by 2 billion years
A deficiency of oxygen and the heavy metal molybdenum in the ancient deep ocean may have delayed the evolution of animal life on Earth by nearly two billion years, a study led by UC Riverside biogeochemists has found.   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)

Postmenopausal hormone therapy appears to increase risk of blood clots in veins
Estrogen therapy may increase the risk of venous thrombosis, the formation of blood clots in the veins, among postmenopausal women who have had their uterus removed.   view more (2006-04-11)

Scientists gain new insights into 'frozen' methane beneath ocean floor
An international team of scientists supported by the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) has completed a unique research expedition aimed at recovering samples of gas hydrate, an ice-like substance hidden beneath the seafloor off Canada's western coast.   view more (2005-11-01)

Deep magma matters in volcanic eruption cycle
Although the Soufriere Hills volcano on Montserrat exhibits cycles of eruption and quiet, an international team of researchers found that magma is continuously supplied from deep in the crust but that a valve acts below a shallower magma chamber, releasing lava to the surface periodically.   view more (2008-10-10)

Sleep and sedation controlled in same brain centre, say scientists
Undergoing anaesthesia may be more like falling asleep than we once thought, according to new research from Imperial College London and Harvard Medical School, USA. Researchers report today in the journal Nature Neuroscience how two of the most widely used anaesthetics, pentobarbital and propofol... view more (2002-08-25)

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... view more (2007-05-14)

Geophysical Research Letters European Highlights - 1 August 2001
Highlights 4. Deep water has many sources Hellmer and Beckmann ["The Southern Ocean: A Ventilation Contributor with Multiple Sources"] use a coupled ocean/ice-shelf model to determine the location and rate of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) formation. Their results suggest that the Atlantic and... view more (2001-07-16)

Global warming can trigger extreme ocean, climate changes
Newly published research results provide evidence that global climate change may have quickly disrupted ocean processes and lead to drastic shifts in environments around the world.   view more (2006-01-05)

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)

ESA to build a deep space ground station in Cebreros (Spain)
ESA PR 45-2003. Communicating with ESA's spacecraft such as Mars Express, or SMART-1, Rosetta and Venus Express - yet to be launched - will be even easier and more effective when the new Cebreros ground station, near Avila (Spain), becomes operational in September 2005. On 22 July, in Madrid, the... view more (2003-07-18)
