Australian Land Surface Is Becoming More Like A Gardener's Greenhouse
Recent research has shown that over the past 50 years the evaporative demand at the terrestrial surface has decreased in many regions, while rainfall has remained constant or even increased a little, effectively making the land wetter. Much of the research to date has been undertaken in the Northern Hemisphere, but a new report details the changes... view more... (2004-06-30)
Groundbreaking research changing geological map of Canada
Researchers exploring a remote terrain in Arctic Canada have made discoveries that may rock the world of Canadian geology. view more (2007-07-23)
England is largely invisible to whitehall after devolution
England is largely invisible to Whitehall civil servants, despite the big changes that have been brought about by devolution. But its concerns may become more important if parts of England become more vociferous in their demand for changes to the Barnett formula, which decides how much money goes from the Treasury to Scotland, Wales and Northern... view more...

Out of Africa: Scientists uncover history of honey bee
"Every honey bee alive today had a common ancestor in Africa" is one conclusion drawn by a team of scientists that probed the origin of the species and the movements of introduced populations, including African "killer" bees in the New World. view more (2006-10-26)
Permafrost line recedes 130 km in 50 years
The southern limit of permanently frozen ground, or permafrost, is now 130 kilometers further north than it was 50 years ago in the James Bay region, according to two researchers from the Department of Biology at Université Laval. view more (2010-02-18)
Climate may keep beautiful killer plant in check
The flowering plant - purple loosestrife - has been heading north since it was first introduced from Europe to the eastern seaboard 150 years ago. view more (2010-03-01)
Scientists map out potential for restoring California fisher populations
U.S. Forest Service and U.C. Santa Barbara scientists believe they have identified the habitat needs for Pacific fishers, a rare California mammal that is a candidate for reintroduction efforts and listing under the Endangered Species Act. view more (2008-01-14)
Bio-archaeologists pinpoint oldest Northern European human activity
Scientists at the University of York used a 'protein time capsule' to confirm the earliest record of human activity in Northern Europe. view more (2005-12-15)
Portraits of the ancients reveal a lot about neurological disease
Portraits of the ancients tell us much about neurological disease, without the need to examine neural tissue, finds a study in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. The research team carefully examined 200 colour portraits of mummies for signs of neurological disease, housed in the British Museum, London, and the Metropolitain... view more... (2001-03-13)
Methane gas levels begin to increase again
The amount of methane in Earth's atmosphere shot up in 2007, bringing to an end a period of about a decade in which atmospheric levels of the potent greenhouse gas were essentially stable, according to a team led by MIT researchers. view more (2008-10-30)
New liquefaction hazard maps of Santa Clara Valley, Northern California
New hazard maps for communities from San Jose to Palo Alto in Northern California delineate the probability of earthquake-induced liquefaction, based on three scenarios: a magnitude 7.8 on the San Andreas Fault comparable to the 1906 event, a magnitude 6.7 on the Hayward Fault comparable to the 1868 event, and a magnitude 6.9 on the Calavaras... view more...

The ecological equivalent of Ellis Island: from ancestry to biodiversity
For many ecologists, the start of the 21st century was bewildering due to a book by Steve Hubbell. Hubbell claimed that many patterns in nature could be explained by a simple theory stating that all species are equivalent in competition for resources. In a letter to Ecology Letters, Rampal Etienne and Han Olff from the University of Groningen in... view more... (2004-02-24)
Frozen hair holds secrets of Yellowstone grizzlies
Locks of hair from more than 400 grizzly bears are stored at Montana State University, waiting to tell the tale of genetic diversity in the Yellowstone Ecosystem. view more (2007-12-19)
Global warming increasing the dispersal of flora in Northern forests
As a result of stronger winds caused by global warming, seeds and pollen are being carried over longer distances. view more (2009-06-12)
Water in a changing climate
New research announced at the international Water in a changing climate science conference in Melbourne 24-28 August, implicates pollution from Asia, Europe and North America as a contributor to recent Australian rainfall changes. view more (2009-08-27)
New comet discovered in Canada
Rob Cardinal was looking for an asteroid, but ended up finding a comet. It is the first time a comet has been discovered at the University of Calgary's Rothney Astrophysical Observatory, which is located about 35 kilometres southwest of Calgary, and only the second Canadian discovery of a comet using a Canadian telescope in nearly a decade. view more (2008-10-15)
Global warming threatens Australia's iconic kangaroos
As concerns about the effects of global warming continue to mount, a new study published in the December issue of Physiological and Biochemical Zoology finds that an increase in average temperature of only two degrees Celsius could have a devastating effect on populations of Australia's iconic kangaroos. view more (2008-10-16)
Hidden tragedy of under reported neonatal mortality
In Northern Vietnam, neonatal mortality is almost four times higher than the official figure according to a report published today in the open access journal BMC International Health and Human Rights. This under-reporting could mean neonatal healthcare in the country is massively under-funded. view more (2008-03-28)
