Polar Tour On Cross-Country Vehicles
Expedition called "Polar Ring" starts in mid-March this year from a town called Salekhard. The expedition members will travel on cross-country pneumatic vehicles to the east along the Arctic Ocean coast up to the Novaya Zemlya and, then, take route to the North Pole and finish in Canada by the time of ice melting in summer. Before, people reached... view more... (2004-03-26)
Warming could free far more carbon from high Arctic soil than earlier thought
Scientists studying the effects of carbon on climate warming are very likely underestimating, by a vast amount, how much soil carbon is available in the high Arctic to be released into the atmosphere, new University of Washington research shows. view more (2005-12-06)
Greenland Ice Core Reveals History of Pollution in the Arctic
New research, reported this week in the online early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, finds that coal burning, primarily in North America and Europe, contaminated the Arctic and potentially affected human health and ecosystems in and around Earth's polar regions. view more (2008-08-20)
New Cassini images show Northern Lights of Saturn
New images of Saturn obtained by a University of Colorado at Boulder-led team on June 21 using an instrument on the Cassini spacecraft show auroral emissions at its poles similar to Earth's Northern Lights. view more (2005-08-08)
By airship to the North Pole — Zeppelin expedition will survey sea ice in the Arctic
In 2008, scientists will, for the very first time, create a continual profile of ice thickness in the Artic, extending from the Canadian coast across the North Pole to Siberia. view more (2007-04-13)
New tracking approach will help protect polar bears
A new approach to tracking polar bears, developed by Queen's University researchers, will shed more light on the potentially endangered Arctic animal and help boost the economy of Canada's north. view more (2009-06-19)
Warmer air may cause increased Antarctic sea ice cover
Predicted increases in precipitation due to warmer air temperatures from greenhouse gas emissions may actually increase sea ice volume in the Antarctic's Southern Ocean. view more (2005-06-30)
Skin Condition Linked to Genetics in Caucasian and Chinese Populations
A study at the University of Sheffield in the UK was conducted on the skin condition called psoriasis, revealing a link between susceptibility to psoriasis and regions on chromosomes 6p21 and 4q28-q31. According to the study, psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory dermatosis, is believed to be inherited and triggered by environmental, as well as... view more... (2004-07-15)
New Era for Norwegian Antarctic Research
The framework conditions for Norwegian research in Antarctica are completely changing. The Norwegian summer station, Troll, will be a year-round station, and the airstrip beside Troll will soon accommodate intercontinental flights. This will have enormous consequences for Norwegian research. From February 2005, year-round operations at the... view more... (2004-08-04)
Global Earth Day broadcast to feature South Pole
Air quality research and ozone monitoring at the National Science Foundation's Amundsen-Scott South Pole will be showcased as part of a global Earth Day telecast scheduled for April 20, 2007, on various ABC-television's news programs. view more (2007-04-20)
Arctic climate models playing key role in polar bear decision
The pending federal decision about whether to protect the polar bear as a threatened species is as much about climate science as it is about climate change. view more (2008-03-12)
New, less invasive genetic test greatly improves pregnancy rates in older women with poor prognosis
A new test examining chromosomes in human eggs a few hours after fertilisation can identify those that are capable of forming a healthy baby. view more (2009-06-30)
Cassini's new view of land of lakes and seas
The best views of the hydrocarbon lakes and seas on Saturn's moon Titan taken by the Cassini spacecraft are being released today. view more (2007-10-12)
Space shuttle Columbia's last flight formed clouds over Antarctica
A burst of mesospheric cloud activity over Antarctica in January 2003 was caused by the exhaust plume of the space shuttle Columbia during its final flight, reports a team of scientists who studied satellite and ground-based data from three different experiments. view more (2005-07-07)
More species in the tropics because species have been there longer
Why are there more species in the tropics than in the temperate regions of the globe? Many of the world's species live in the tropics (perhaps more than half), but the reason has been debated for more than 100 years. view more (2006-11-02)
The sea-ice is getting thinner - A closer look at the climate and ecosystem of the Arctic Ocean
Large areas of the Arctic sea-ice are only one metre thick this year, equating to an approximate 50 percent thinning as compared to the year 2001. view more (2007-09-14)
When Hosts Go Extinct, What Happens to Their Parasites?
Hands wring and teeth gnash over the loss of endangered species like the panda or the polar bear. But what happens to the parasites hosted by endangered species? view more (2009-06-02)
Cold colony vulnerable to environmental challenge
Australia and other owners of the Antarctic territories may be ill-prepared to face a major environmental challenge to the continent, according to a Queensland University of Technology academic. view more (2007-10-19)
Cosmic engines surprise XMM-Newton
XMM-Newton has been surprised by a rare type of galaxy, from which it has detected a higher number of X-rays than thought possible. The observation gives new insight into the powerful processes shaping galaxies during their formation and evolution. view more (2008-04-08)
Slicing chromosomes leads to new insights into cell division
By using ultrafast laser pulses to slice off pieces of chromosomes and observe how the chromosomes behave, biomedical engineers at the University of Michigan have gained pivotal insights into mitosis, the process of cell division. view more (2009-06-01)
