Warm winter also in the Arctic
Central Europe is not the only place where the past, warm winter has caused record temperatures. Unusually mild temperatures also prevented ice formation in the Arctic, specifically in the region around Spitsbergen. view more (2007-03-30)
Two NASA Satellites See Remnant Low Dolores Go Out Kicking
The remaining clouds and showers that were once tropical storm Dolores are fading at sea, more than 940 miles west of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. view more (2009-07-20)
CU-Boulder team forcasts 92 percent chance of record low Arctic sea ice extent in 2007
University of Colorado at Boulder researchers are now forecasting a 92 percent chance that the 2007 September minimum extent of sea ice across the Arctic region will set an all-time record low. view more (2007-08-17)
NASA study finds rising Arctic storm activity sways sea ice, climate
A new NASA study shows that the rising frequency and intensity of arctic storms over the last half century, attributed to progressively warmer waters, directly provoked acceleration of the rate of arctic sea ice drift, long considered by scientists as a bellwether of climate change. view more (2008-10-07)
Soft body fossils of extinct 'lamp shell' digitally reconstructed
A team of American and British scientists have identified and digitally reconstructed the first example of a fossilized brachiopod complete with its pedicle, the stalk attaching it to the sea floor, and its lophophore or feeding organ. view more (2005-08-18)
Expedition discovers new sea current off African coast
Researchers on board the Pelagia, the research vessel belonging to the Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), have discovered an interesting rotational current in the sea off the coast of South Africa. Unlike previously identified 'Agulhas rings', this one, a cyclone, rotates clockwise. The water in the centre is also about 50 centimetres... view more... (2001-07-26)
Scripps-Led Study Sheds Light on Earthquake Hazard Along San Andreas Fault
New research by a team of scientists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) offers new insight into the San Andreas Fault as it extends beneath Southern California's Salton Sea. view more (2009-07-28)
Regional warming-induced species shift in NW Mediterranean marine caves
The north-western Mediterranean Sea has a high biodiversity reflecting a mixture of temperate and subtropical species. But this basin already shows signs of large-scale warming. Marine cave communities with endemic and specialised species are particularly at risk since they are naturally fragmented and more sensitive to perturbations. In the... view more... (2003-04-08)
Red Tide causes sea turtle die-off in El Salvador
A "Red Tide" event that occurred off the coast of El Salvador late last year directly caused the deaths of some 200 sea turtles. view more (2006-03-24)
Governments should act now to save threatened turtles
Ecology and conservation experts from the University of Exeter today urge international governments to work together to protect threatened Caribbean sea turtle populations. view more (2006-11-01)
Snowmelt monitored in the Baltic Sea watershed region in near real time
As spring melt of winter snow is underway in the Baltic Sea watershed region, satellites are monitoring and mapping the snow melting process to help local authorities manage water supplies and predict and prepare for floods. view more (2007-04-06)
Ocean temperatures and sea level increases 50 percent higher than previously estimated
New research suggests that ocean temperature and associated sea level increases between 1961 and 2003 were 50 percent larger than estimated in the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report. view more (2008-06-19)
Satellites witness lowest Arctic ice coverage in history
The area covered by sea ice in the Arctic has shrunk to its lowest level this week since satellite measurements began nearly 30 years ago, opening up the Northwest Passage - a long-sought short cut between Europe and Asia that has been historically impassable. view more (2007-09-17)
Scientists Detect Thinning West Antarctic Ice.
A major glacial formation in Antarctica is shrinking, a report in SCIENCE will reveal today. But questions still remain about the speed at which ice sheet thinning is taking place. Scientists at University College London (UCL) and the British Antarctic Survey have used satellite data to show that the interior of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS)... view more... (2001-01-29)
Sea level stargazing: Astronomers make key sighting with Fla. telescope
This summer, University of Florida astronomers inaugurated the world's largest optical telescope on a nearly 8,000-foot mountaintop 3,480 miles away. view more (2009-09-29)
Turtles indeed in danger
Even though many sea turtle populations are declining, quantifying factors that contribute to declines has been challenging. Mortality occurs on nesting beaches due to habitat loss, egg poaching, and predation. But turtles also die at sea due to accidental catches in fishing gear. In the March issue of Ecology Letters, Duke University researchers... view more... (2004-02-25)
Sperm trading can resolve hermaphrodite mating conflicts
By directly manipulating mating performance in a tropical sea slug, Chelidonura hirundinina, researchers of the University of T√°bingen have now shed light on the bizarre reproductive conflicts encountered by hermaphroditic animals. view more (2005-10-11)
Deep-sea Ecosystem Engineers
Tube worms living at deep-sea oil seeps in the Gulf of Mexico significantly alter their habitat, similar to beavers altering the flow of a river. Researchers from Pennsylvania State University have just published an important finding in the journal Ecology Letters. A computer model of tube worm aggregations was created for Lamellibrachia luymesi,... view more... (2003-03-12)
Glimpse to past adds weight to global warming forecasts
A new examination of the period of global warming that planet Earth underwent 130,000 years ago is helping scientists to confirm the accuracy of projections for the next century - particularly over Canada's North. view more (2006-03-24)
Upside-down underwater telescope to study visitors from space
Scientists from the Universities of Sheffield and Leeds will soon be able to study some of the most elusive particles known to man, thanks to a giant telescope under the sea that looks down towards the centre of the Earth rather than up into the sky. Together with fellow scientists from across Europe they are building a telescope 2400m (one and a... view more... (2003-03-17)
