Swiss National Science Foundation project demonstrates inherited ability to adapt to life at high altitudes
Extra enzymes protect Tibetans against muscle damage at high altitudes Tibetans' muscles are better protected against hypoxia at high altitudes than those of lowland dwellers since Tibetans produce more of the enzymes that neutralize free radicals in muscle tissue. This ability to adapt to life at over 3,500 metres above sea level is at least... view more... (2004-02-19)
Food source threatened by carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide increasing in the atmosphere may affect the microbial life in the sea, which could have an impact on a major food source, warned Dr Ian Joint at a Science Media Centre press briefing today. view more (2007-12-11)
Deep-sea species' loss could lead to oceans' collapse, study suggests
The loss of deep-sea species poses a severe threat to the future of the oceans, suggests a new report publishing early online on December 27th and in the January 8th issue of Current Biology, a publication of Cell Press. view more (2007-12-28)
Drought Solution Could Be Blowing In The Wind
Generating rainfall for deserts using wind power and seawater is the subject of a new research project. The idea involves the installation at sea of specially designed wind turbines. The turning motion of the rotors would be harnessed to pump seawater along the turbines' hollow blades. The water would then be forced out through slits as a fine... view more... (2002-11-04)
Cuts to Mississippi levees could build new land in sinking delta
Diverting sediment-rich water from the Mississippi River below New Orleans could generate new land in the river's delta in the next century that would equal almost half the acreage otherwise expected to disappear during that period, a new study shows. view more (2009-10-21)
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 circumstances, "a climate can flip in a... view more... (2004-05-25)
£5 Million Oceanography Centre Opens In Liverpool on 23rd June
Natural Environment Research Council A world leading centre for marine research, the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory, moves to a £5 million, purpose built site on the University of Liverpool campus this week. Scientists at the new laboratory, originally housed in Bidston Observatory on the Wirral, will research and monitor the storm... view more... (2004-06-24)
Glaciers and ice caps to dominate sea level rise this century, says CU-Boulder study
Ice loss from glaciers and ice caps is expected to cause more global sea rise during this century than the massive Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, according to a new University of Colorado at Boulder study. view more (2007-07-20)
New Approach Needed if Fish Stocks are to Survive
A new approach to fisheries management, taking into account the full range of human impacts on the ecosystem, is needed if fish stocks are to survive, according to Professor Chris Frid of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, speaking at the EurOCEAN European Conference on Marine Science and Ocean Technology in Galway today. "Fishing is... view more... (2004-05-11)
Want to monitor climate change? P-p-p-pick up a penguin!
We are used to hearing about the effects of climate change in terms of unusual animal behaviour, such as altering patterns of fish and bird migration. view more (2007-04-04)
European coastal zone management becomes hot item
The Institute for Environmental Studies of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is to organise jointly with the University of East Anglia a four-day workshop on the future of European coastal zone management, at the invitation of the European Commission. From Monday, 4 June to Thursday, 5 June, a group of fifty European coastal zone managers,... view more... (2003-05-22)
Loggerhead release to provide vital information to scientific community
Thursday, November 6, 2008, Dr. Kirt Rusenko, Marine Conservationist, and staff from Gumbo Limbo Nature Center in Boca Raton will release two juvenile loggerhead sea turtles raised in captivity into the Indian River Lagoon near Sebastian Inlet. view more (2008-11-04)
Deep sea algae connect ancient climate, carbon dioxide and vegetation
Assistant Professor Mark Pagani in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at Yale and his colleagues mapped the first detailed history of atmospheric carbon dioxide between 45-25 million years ago based on stable isotopes of carbon in a National Science Foundation study reported in Science Express. view more (2005-06-23)
NASA Scientist Claims Warmer Ocean Waters Reducing Ice Worldwide
According to a NASA scientist, the pieces to a years-old scientific puzzle have come together to confirm warmer water temperatures are creeping into the Earth's colder areas. Those warm waters are increasing melting and accelerating ice flow in polar areas. view more (2006-03-24)
Waddenzee fresher than ever
The seawater in the Waddenzee is becoming fresher. More river water is reaching the Waddenzee via the outlet sluices of the IJsselmeer Dam. This is the conclusion of Dr Hendrik van Aken from the Netherlands Institute for Sea Research. Along with the fresh water, more nitrate and phosphate are entering the Waddenzee. During the past 140 years the... view more... (2002-09-11)
Arctic sea ice hits second-lowest extent, likely lowest volume, say CU-Boulder researchers
Arctic sea ice extent during the 2008 melt season dropped to the second-lowest level since satellite measurements began in 1979, reaching the lowest point in its annual cycle of melt and growth on Sept. 14. view more (2008-10-03)
ON TRAILS OF ANCIENT SEA GRASSES
Paleobotanists from St. Petersburg have found that ancestry of sea grasses had come to sea from desert 40 million years ago. The study was supported by International Science Foundation, Smithsonian Institution, Washington D. C., and by Linnean Society of London. It is not easy to reconstruct how life developed on the Earth - too little stuff had... view more... (2000-12-01)
River-shelf interactions during Spring floods in the coastal Beaufort Sea
Multi-year study provides insights to possible future responses to environmental change in the arctic. view more (2006-12-06)
Study finds high mortality of endangered loggerhead sea turtles in Baja California
Along the southern coast of Baja California, Mexico, scientists have been counting the carcasses of endangered sea turtles for a decade as part of an effort to assess and eliminate threats to loggerhead sea turtle populations. view more (2008-10-15)
Carbon dioxide role in past climate revealed
Researchers at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and the University of California, Santa Cruz have discovered that Earth's last great global warming period, 3 million years ago, may have been caused by levels of CO2 in the atmosphere similar to today's. view more (2005-04-11)
