Arctic sea ice continues decline as temperatures rise
New satellite records monitored by a national team of collaborators show a four-year pattern of extremely low summer sea-ice coverage in the Arctic that continued in September 2005, which may be the result of warming temperatures and earlier spring melting. view more (2005-09-29)
Continued warming of the Arctic Ocean
Several days ago, the 'Maria S Merian' returned from her second Arctic expedition with data confirming trends of Arctic warming. view more (2006-10-05)
Alloy of hydrogen and oxygen made from water
Water, the only indispensable ingredient of life, is just about the most versatile stuff on Earth. Depending on its temperature we can heat our homes with it, bathe in it, and even strap on skates and glide across it, to name only the most common of its many forms. When subjected to high pressures, however, water can take any of more than 15... view more... (2006-10-27)
How will the Arctic sea ice cover develop this summer?
The ice cover in the Arctic Ocean at the end of summer 2008 will lie, with almost 100 per cent probability, below that of the year 2005 - the year with the second lowest sea ice extent ever measured. view more (2008-07-10)
New American Chemical Society podcast: Tiny sea creature and a new medical adhesive
Scientists questing after a long-sought new medical adhesive describe copying the natural glue secreted by a tiny sea creature called the sandcastle worm in the latest episode in the American Chemical Society's (ACS) award-winning podcast series, "Global Challenges/Chemistry Solutions." view more (2009-10-28)
Glaciers adding more to global sea rise than ice sheets, says University of Colorado study
Despite growing public alarm over the shrinking Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, it is small glaciers and ice caps that have been contributing the most to rising sea levels in recent years, according to a new University of Colorado at Boulder study. view more (2006-12-12)
NASA's QuikScat and Aqua providing important data on Tropical Storm Anja
Anja has continued to weaken over the last 24 hours, and NASA's QuikScat satellite has confirmed that the once mighty Category 4 Cyclone is now a tropical storm in the southern Indian Ocean. view more (2009-11-19)
Stanford study of sea squirt provides clue to human immune system
Until now, no one had demonstrated any concrete similarity between the vertebrate and invertebrate immune systems. The ramifications of the finding may shed light not only on the evolution of our immune system, but also on how we might better control some aspects of it, such as our natural killer cells. view more (2005-11-28)
El Nino events affect whale breeding
A thirty-year study by an international team of scientists found a strong relationship between breeding success of whales in the South Atlantic and El Nino in the western Pacific. view more (2006-01-11)
Seabed Research Will Have Global Significance
Sediments in the Arabian Sea will be examined by an international scientific expedition led by a researcher from the University of Edinburgh to increase understanding of the natural processes of the ocean floor and establish its significance for global cycles and climate change. Robotic research platforms will be deployed on the sea floor to study... view more... (2002-09-05)
Coastal retreat in face of rising sea levels found to be influenced by wildfires
The retreat of coastlines due to rising sea levels may be accelerated by wildfires, a Duke University researcher has discovered. view more (2005-10-18)
Sprats With Polonium
There are many radioactive elements in the world. For example, natural element polonium has 33 radioactive isotopes. Fortunately, only one isotope, 210Po, has a relatively long (138.4 days) half-life period. This isotope appears in the atmosphere as a result of radon decay, sinks to oceans and seas, and accumulates in organs of some animals, in... view more... (2002-07-19)
New clothing for the safety of fishermen
The division Ternua of the Basque company Import, a sport garment and equipment company, has received the Ispo Outdoor Award 2002 in the international trade fair of sport equipment and fashion of Munich for the concept of Safe Sail System in the category of Hardware. This garment, designed for fishermen, has won for the safety and comfort it... view more... (2002-03-22)
Virus decimates algal blooms
As soon as the pest algae run out of nutrients, viruses attack and abruptly end the algal bloom. This is revealed in a three-year international study under the leadership of the Netherlands Institute for Sea Research. This knowledge opens up opportunities for using natural enemies to remove algal blooms in isolated areas. The pest alga species... view more... (2002-11-15)
Diverting sediment-rich water below New Orleans could lead to extensive new land
Diverting sediment-rich water from the Mississippi River below New Orleans could generate new land in the river's delta in the next century. view more (2009-10-21)

Texas researchers and educators head for Antarctica
It's been more than 100 years since anyone has journeyed to this section of Antarctica's Amundsen Sea, but that is about to change. view more (2007-08-16)
Radar altimetry confirms global warming is affecting polar glaciers
Scientists have confirmed that climate warming is changing how much water remains locked in the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets, according to an article published in the Journal of Glaciology. view more (2006-03-20)
Scientist issues warning over UK's coastal development
A scientist at Royal Holloway, University of London has condemned some of the recent developments on the coastline of south-east England as inappropriate in terms of medium and long term coastal management, largely due to their location on a examples of unstable coastline. Dr Peter French, an expert on coastal erosion in the Department of... view more... (2002-05-14)
