Smokers not only take more time off work but they are less productive
Smokers not only take more time off work, but they are also less productive when they are working, shows research in Tobacco Control. In 1990 the US Office of Technology Assessment estimated that smokers cost employers $47 billion dollars in premature death and disability. The study involved around... view more (2001-09-04)

Arctic Ocean could be ice-free in summer within 100 years, scientists say
The current warming trends in the Arctic may shove the Arctic system into a seasonally ice-free state not seen for more than one million years.   view more (2005-08-24)

Scientists lose instruments, gain first look at seafloor formation
Ordinarily, losing almost all of one's instruments would be considered a severe setback to any scientist. But when Maya Tolstoy, a marine geophysicist at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, a member of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, recently learned that two-thirds of the... view more (2006-11-27)

Seismologists detect a sunken slab of ocean floor deep in the Earth
Halfway to the center of the Earth, at the boundary between the core and the mantle, lies a massive folded slab of rock that once formed the ocean floor and sank beneath North America some 50 million years ago.   view more (2006-05-18)

Protection zones in the wrong place to prevent coral reef collapse
Conservation zones are in the wrong place to protect vulnerable coral reefs from the effects of global warming, an international team of scientists warned today.   view more (2008-08-28)

New findings show a slow recovery from extreme global warming episode 55 million years ago
Most of the excess carbon dioxide pouring into the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels will ultimately be absorbed by the oceans, but it will take about 100,000 years. That is how long it took for ocean chemistry to recover from a massive input of carbon dioxide 55 million years ago,... view more (2005-06-10)

Arctic sea ice declines again in 2006, say University of Colorado researchers
While cool August temperatures prevented sea ice in the Arctic from reaching its lowest summer extent on record, 2006 continued a pattern of sharp annual decreases due to rising temperatures probably caused by greenhouse warming.   view more (2006-10-05)

Research tracks whales by listening to sounds
Researchers have developed a new tool to help them study endangered whales - autonomous hydrophones that can be deployed in the ocean to record the unique clicks, pulses and calls of different whale species.   view more (2006-01-03)

Satellites capture first-ever gravity map of tides under Antarctic ice
Ohio State University scientists have used minute fluctuations in gravity to produce the best map yet of ocean tides that flow beneath two large Antarctic ice shelves.   view more (2005-12-05)

Sand dunes tell tale of volcanic devastation
University of Leicester scientists have made a unique discovery at an Atlantic island popular with British holidaymakers. They have uncovered giant sand dunes on Tenerife that tell a tale of terrifying destruction in ancient times, when fiery clouds swept right across the island, leaving very... view more (2004-05-06)

'New continent' and species discovered in Atlantic study
A scientist from the University of Aberdeen is leading a team of international researchers whose work will continue our understanding of life in the deepest oceans, and contribute to the global Census of Marine Life.   view more (2007-08-20)

AGU Journal European highlights - 30 October 2002
The following highlights summarize research papers in Geophysical Research Letters (GRL) and Paleoceanography (PA). The papers related to these Highlights will be printed in the next paper issues of the respective journals following their electronic publication.   view more (2002-10-30)

ESA's Medspiration project branches out to support biodiversity
Maps of the sea surface temperature around Galapagos Islands and Cocos Island in the Pacific Ocean are being produced daily and are available online in full resolution in near-real time as part of the Medspiration project, an ESA-funded effort to represent the most reliable temperature of the seas... view more (2007-03-20)

Microbe has huge role in ocean life, carbon cycle
Researchers at Oregon State University and Diversa Corporation have discovered that the smallest free-living cell known also has the smallest genome, or genetic structure, of any independent cell-and yet it dominates life in the oceans, thrives where most other cells would die, and plays a huge... view more (2005-08-19)

Study Finds Subglacial Water in West Antarctica Considerably More Active Than Previously Observed
The recent discovery of a subglacial water system beneath the West Antarctic ice sheet (WAIS) is causing scientists to rethink the mechanisms that control the flow of ice streams into the Ross Ice Shelf and ultimately into the Southern Ocean, according to a report in the February 15, 2007, issue of... view more (2007-02-16)

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)

Corals and Climate Change
A modest new lab at the Rosenstiel School is the first of its kind to tackle the global problem of climate change impacts on corals.   view more (2007-08-23)

UGA scientists discover bacterial 'switch gene' that regulates oceans' sulfur emissions into the air
The number of plankton in the seas is almost beyond comprehension. A single teaspoonful of ocean water holds several million of these microscopic drifters, and in recent years, scientists have discovered plankton are involved with everything from the health of the water to global warming.   view more (2006-10-27)

IODP Tahiti Sea Level Expedition Examines History of Global Sea Level Change, El Ni√ħo Events
Scientists from nine nations have set sail for the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Tahiti Sea Level Expedition, a research expedition initiated to investigate global sea level rise since the last glacial maximum, approximately 23,000 years ago.   view more (2005-10-10)

Discovered: Cooling system under the sea floor
EMBARGO: February 5th, 8 pm The scientific, technical and logistic support of the geo scientists from Bremen, Prof. V. Spiess, Dr. L. Zühlsdorff and Prof. H. Villinger was instrumental in the discovery of a 50 km long cooling system by US-scientists under the sea floor off the north-west... view more (2003-02-04)

News from Earth's magnetic field
It is widely known that the geomagnetic field shields our planet against highly energetic cosmic particles. The importance of the magnetic field for answering geological, tectonic or even archaeological questions is less known.   view more (2007-12-21)

Scientists Confirm Historic Massive Flood in Climate Change
Scientists from NASA and Columbia University, New York, have used computer modeling to successfully reproduce an abrupt climate change that took place 8,200 years ago. At that time, the beginning of the current warm period, climate changes were caused by a massive flood of freshwater into the North... view more (2006-03-01)

New steroid test uses oil exploration technique
It's a technique that has previously been used for oil exploration - now researchers at The University of Nottingham have developed a new, highly sensitive, anti-doping steroid test using hydropyrolysis.   view more (2008-03-05)
