From the deep -- Researchers find new species of sea anemone
Researchers cruising for creatures that live in the deepest parts of the Pacific Ocean found a new species of sea anemone living in the unlikeliest of habitats - the carcass of a dead whale. view more (2007-05-17)
Physics helps prevent hearing loss in whales
Pattern-recognition techniques developed by particle physicists are now being used to protect the hearing of sea mammals, reports the latest issue of the Institute of Physics' magazine Scientific Computing World. When oil companies survey sea areas for oil they send seismic pulses towards the seabed. These pulses are at volumes that are... view more... (1999-02-26)
Measuring water from space
Observations from satellites now allow scientists to monitor changes to water levels in the sea, in rivers and lakes, in ice sheets and even under the ground. As the climate changes, this information will be crucial for monitoring its effects and predicting future impacts in different regions. view more (2008-11-13)
Lifeboatman finds bronze age rapier on beach
A 3,500 year old bronze-age rapier has been found by a lifeboat coxswain, who has handed it in to Newcastle University Museum of Antiquities, where it is temporarily on display before undergoinmg conservation work. The coxswain was walking along the beach during an unusually low spring tide at the seaside resort/fishing village of Amble in... view more... (1999-05-17)
Sea otter study reveals striking variability in diets and feeding strategies
Ecologists have long observed that when food becomes scarce, animal populations exploit a wider range of food sources. view more (2008-01-15)
Researchers Assess Risks Associated with Living in Low-Lying Coastal Areas
For many, sea-level rise is a remote and distant threat faced by people like the residents of the Tuvalu Islands in the South Pacific, where the highest point of land is only 5 meters (15 feet) above sea level and tidal floods occasionally cover their crops in seawater. view more (2006-05-18)
Ancient volcanic eruptions caused global mass extinction
A previously unknown giant volcanic eruption that led to global mass extinction 260million years ago has been uncovered by scientists at the University of Leeds. view more (2009-05-29)
NASA'S live tropical sea surface temperature Web site gives climate, hurricane clues
Sea surface temperatures give scientists information about ocean currents, climate, climate change and how a hurricane may evolve. Now, NASA has a web page that provides frequent updates on changing ocean temperatures. view more (2006-10-13)
Typhoon Mirinae is already scaring Philippine residents before Halloween
Another typhoon in the northern Philippines really is something to be scared about, and Mirinae is expected to make landfall there in the mid-morning hours on Halloween, October 31. view more (2009-10-30)
Climate variability impacts the deep sea
Deep-sea ecosystems occupying 60% of the Earth's surface could be vulnerable to the effects of global warming warn scientists writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2009-11-03)
Ecological Changes in the North Sea as a Consequence of Biological Globalisation and Climate Change
Long-term monitoring studies at the 'Biologische Anstalt Helgoland' (BAH), part of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, document rapid ecological changes in the North Sea. Scientists explain these changes primarily with the introduction of non-native species and global climate change. Investigations that have been carried... view more... (2005-01-31)
Making monster waves
Rogue waves-giant waves that spring up suddenly and tower over the seas around them-have inspired physicists to look for an analogue in light. view more (2009-10-20)
Sea level on the rise - in real and virtual worlds
The climate system, and in particular sea level, may be responding more quickly to rising carbon emissions than climate scientists have estimated with climate models. view more (2007-02-05)
North Sea recovers from pollution by antifouling paints
The North Sea has recovered dramatically from the effects of pollution caused by antifouling paints used on boat hulls, according to researchers who claim that proposals for a total ban on the use of tributyl tin (TBT) paints could do more harm than good to the environment. Marine Biologists at Newcastle University say that breeding populations of... view more... (1999-05-28)
Anisakiasis hazard varies depending on the origin of the fish, according to a study
A research team of the University of Granada (Spain) has confirmed a higher presence of the parasite Anisakis spp in anchovies of the Atlantic South East coast and the Mediterranean North West coast, and they insist on freezing or cooking fish before consuming it. view more (2009-11-11)
Climate kick from the Southern Ocean
This much was already known: in the closing phase of the last ice age the Southern Hemisphere began warming first. As a result, the Antarctic sea ice melted. It was at least a thousand years later - as evidenced by investigations of Greenland ice cores - that the high northern latitudes began to get warmer. Sea ice in the North Atlantic retreated... view more... (2003-07-29)
Older Arctic sea ice replaced by young, thin ice, says CU-Boulder study
A new study by University of Colorado at Boulder researchers indicates older, multi-year sea ice in the Arctic is giving way to younger, thinner ice, making it more susceptible to record summer sea-ice lows like the one that occurred in 2007. view more (2008-01-14)
New Arctic satellite data shows Arctic literally on thin ice
The latest data from NASA and the University of Colorado at Boulder's National Snow and Ice Data Center show the continuation of a decade-long trend of shrinking sea ice extent in the Arctic, including new evidence for thinning ice as well. view more (2009-04-07)
UNH-NOAA ocean mapping expedition yields new insights into arctic depths
New Arctic sea floor data released today by the University of New Hampshire and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration suggests that the foot of the continental slope off Alaska is more than 100 nautical miles farther from the U.S. coast than previously assumed. view more (2008-02-12)
Arctic sea ice decline may trigger climate change cascade, says University of Colorado study
Arctic sea ice that has been dwindling for several decades may have reached a tipping point that could trigger a cascade of climate change reaching into Earth's temperate regions, says a new University of Colorado at Boulder study. view more (2007-03-16)
