MU Scientist Uses Tracer to Predict Ancient Ocean Circulation
Even though the Cretaceous Period ended more than 65 million years ago, clues remain about how the ocean water circulated at that time.   view more (2008-10-21)

Slowdown in tropical Pacific flow pinned on climate change
The vast loop of winds that drives climate and ocean behavior across the tropical Pacific has weakened by 3.5% since the mid-1800s, and it may weaken another 10% by 2100.   view more (2006-05-04)

Penn study finds hyperbaric oxygen treatments mobilize stem cells
According to a study to be published in the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulation Physiology, a typical course of hyperbaric oxygen treatments increases by eight-fold the number of stem cells circulating in a patient's body.   view more (2005-12-29)

How Much Excess Fresh Water Was Added to the North Atlantic in Recent Decades?
Large regions of the North Atlantic Ocean have been growing fresher since the late 1960s as melting glaciers and increased precipitation, both associated with greenhouse warming, have enhanced continental runoff into the Arctic and sub-Arctic seas.   view more (2005-06-17)

The tropics play a more active role than was thought in controlling the Earth's climate
Researchers from the Universitat Aut√≤noma de Barcelona and Durham University (UK) have discovered that a million years ago, global climate changes occurred due to changes in tropical circulation in the Pacific similar to those caused by El Ni√±o today.   view more (2005-10-12)

Rising temperatures will lead to loss of trout habitat in the southern Appalachians
USDA Forest Service (FS) research projects that between 53 and 97 percent of natural trout populations in the Southern Appalachians could disappear due to the warmer temperatures predicted under two different global climate circulation models.   view more (2006-10-05)

Global warming could lead to fast freeze, warns University of Ulster scientist
Dramatic climate change as a result of global warming could happen in a single lifetime - instead of being a slow process evolving over centuries, according to a University of Ulster academic. Professor Marshall McCabe of the School of Environmental Sciences said that given the right set of... view more (2004-05-25)

Constructal theory predicts global climate patterns in simple way
A unifying physics principle that describes design in nature predicts, in surprisingly straightforward fashion, the basic features of global circulation and climate.   view more (2006-02-09)

A new and safer technique in heart surgery
The new technique of SELECTIVE CEREBRAL PERFUSION has been successfully applied for the first time in the Basque Autonomous Community (B.A.C.). Surgeons keep a patient in a state of hibernation at 15 degrees centigrade, without brain activity and with heart circulation and respiratory activity at a... view more (2004-05-17)

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)

ESC Congress 2003: Hypothermia - good for both brain and heart?
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies both a presentation and an ESC press conference given at the ESC Congress 2003. Written by the investigator himself/herself, this press release does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the European Society of Cardiology ESC Congress 2003: Cold comfort -... view more (2003-09-02)

Another way to grow blood vessels
Researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have found a previously unknown molecular pathway in mice that spurs the growth of new blood vessels when body parts are jeopardized by poor circulation.   view more (2008-02-21)

Mixing it, Southern Ocean style
Sea water being churned in the ocean off Antarctica may be having a greater effect on global patterns of ocean movement than previously thought, according to new research reported in this week's edition of the international journal Science (9 January 2004).   view more (2004-01-05)

New study shows much of the world emerged from last Ice Age together
The end of the recurring, 100,000-year glacial cycles is one of the most prominent and readily identifiable features in records of the Earth's recent climate history. Yet one of the most puzzling questions in climate science has been why different parts of the world, most notably Greenland, appear... view more (2006-06-09)

Human stem cell transplants mature into neurons and make contacts in rat spinal cord
Human nerve stem cells transplanted into rats' damaged spinal cords have survived, grown and in some cases connected with the rats' own spinal cord cells in a Johns Hopkins laboratory, overturning the long-held notion that spinal cords won't allow nerve repair.   view more (2007-02-14)

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)

Marine fossils improve predictions of climate change
A study of the ancient Mediterranean Sea will help to produce more accurate predictions of climate change. A team led by Royal Holloway geologist Dr Michal Kucera will map sea-surface temperature of the Mediterranean over past millennia. The data will provide a new target to test the computer... view more (2002-06-06)

Arctic ocean history is deciphered by ocean-drilling research team
Sediment cores retrieved from the Arctic's deep-sea floor by the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program's Arctic Coring Expedition (ACEX) have provided long-absent data to scientists who report new findings in the June 21 issue of Nature.   view more (2007-06-21)

Gas bubbles are taken under control
The system developed by the Moscow scientists with the financial assistance of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and the Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises will instantly allow to detect and measure gas micro-bubbles being formed in blood inside the pump oxygenator.

Climate swings have brought great CO2 pulses up from the deep sea
May 10, 2007, The Earth Institute at Columbia University—A study released today provides some of the first solid evidence that warming-induced changes in ocean circulation at the end of the last Ice Age caused vast quantities of ancient carbon dioxide to belch from the deep sea into the... view more (2007-05-14)

The rain in Spain falls mainly "¦ at the coast
If you're thinking about heading to Spain for some late autumn sunshine, think again. Researchers at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have discovered that the number of wet days in Spain is on the increase. Dr Clare Goodess, of UEA's Climatic Research Unit, studied forty years worth of rainfall... view more (2002-11-11)

A better understanding of equatorial Atlantic deep currents
One of the main components of the Atlantic's water-mass circulation is a cold water flow (at 4°C on average) -the North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW)- which is conveyed at depth (between 1500 and 4000 m), sweeping from the Labrador Sea, Norway and Greenland in the polar and sub-polar zones towards... view more (2001-04-26)
