Scientists at British Antarctic Survey (BAS) in collaboration with the Technical University of Braunschweig (TUBS), Germany have completed the first ever series of flights by autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in Antarctica. view more (2008-03-19)
Warming climate may put chill on arctic polar bear population
Some travel agencies touting Arctic tours have been revving up their recent promotions to tourists about the increased likelihood they will spot polar bears in this region where several populations of polar bears live. view more (2006-09-14)
Scientists Debate Wisdom of Plan to Save Venice From Flooding
WASHINGTON - The Italian government recently decided to move forward with planning for the construction of underwater, mobile floodgates to mitigate flooding in Venice, situated on islands in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea. The soundness of the plan is discussed by several scientists in the May 14 issue of Eos, published by the American Geophysical... view more... (2002-05-08)
Sea Birds May Soon Need Rehabilitation
Oil spills are a real disaster. They cause worst troubles to sea birds and animals. A risk of an accident always exists within areas of oil mining and transporting, especially, in the sea. Beginning the exploitation of oil and gas fields on the sea shelf, our country is to face inevitable ecological problems, and it would be helpful to know in... view more... (2004-02-06)
Arctic Ice More Vulnerable to Sunny Weather, New Study Shows
The shrinking expanse of Arctic sea ice is increasingly vulnerable to summer sunshine, new research concludes. view more (2008-04-22)
Mathematics and climate change
In 1994, University of Utah mathematician Ken Golden went to the Eastern Weddell Sea for the Antarctic Zone Flux Experiment. The sea's surface is normally covered with sea ice, the complex composite material that results when sea water is frozen. view more (2009-04-13)
Keeping our sights on big breakers with radar
Scientists of the Geesthacht GKSS Research Centre have developed a radar system with which it is possible to study the behaviour of sea waves. view more (2009-08-13)
Rapid Sea Level Rise in the Arctic Ocean May Alter Views of Human Migration
Scientists have found new evidence that the Bering Strait near Alaska flooded into the Arctic Ocean about 11,000 years ago, about 1,000 years earlier than widely believed, closing off the land bridge thought to be the major route for human migration from Asia to the Americas. view more (2006-10-12)
Danube Delta Holds Answers to 'Noah's Flood' Debate
Did a catastrophic flood of biblical proportions drown the shores of the Black Sea 9,500 years ago, wiping out early Neolithic settlements around its perimeter? A geologist with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and two Romanian colleagues report in the January issue of Quaternary Science Reviews that, if the flood occurred at all,... view more...

Tracking Climate Change
DFG funds the first European drilling expedition to the North Pole In August 2004, a new and exciting chapter will be opened in the history of Arctic research. In the Arctic Coring Expedition (ACEX), three icebreakers will set off in the direction of the North Pole to extract cores from beneath the Arctic seafloor. By investigating marine... view more...

Turtles are loyal in feeding as well as in breeding
A research team led by the University of Exeter has discovered that, after laying their eggs, sea turtles travel hundreds of miles to feed at exactly the same sites. view more (2007-04-25)
Measuring the health of the sea
Last summer Donostia City Council in the Basque Country installed a special buoy in the city's Concha Bay for the first time. The apparatus carried out analyses of the water quality in order to verify its suitability for bathing. This buoy was anchored at the bottom of the sea, halfway between the Santa Clara islet and the Concha and Ondarreta... view more... (2003-07-28)
Chemical come-on successfully lures love-sick lampreys to traps
A synthetic chemical version of what male sea lampreys use to attract spawning females can lure them into traps and foil the mating process of the destructive invasive species, according to Michigan State University scientists. view more (2009-01-22)
Scientists identify world's largest leatherback turtle population
An international team of scientists has identified a nesting population of leatherback sea turtles in Gabon, West Africa as the world's largest. view more (2009-05-18)
A Promise Of Half A Million Years: EU Research Provides New Insight Into Climate Change
Within the EUR3,6 million EU research project PROMESS1 (PROfiles across MEditerranean Sedimentary Systems), with a EU EUR2,7 million contribution, European scientists have collected 500 000 year-old sediment cores from the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. These samples will allow researchers to reconstruct climate variations since pre-historic... view more... (2004-07-22)
Marine researchers from Bremen discover giant canyon off the coast of northwest Africa
Scientists from the DFG Research Center Ocean Margins in Bremen made a sensational discovery during their latest expedition on board RV "Meteor" which ended only a few days ago. Off the coast of Mauritania they came across an enormous underwater canyon in a phantastic shape. It meanders a distance of more than 200 kilometres from the shallow coast... view more...

On the track of tiny larvae, a new model elucidates connections in marine ecology
A computer model newly developed by researchers combines ocean current simulations and genetic forecasting to help scientists predict animal dispersion patterns and details of the ecology of coral reefs across the Caribbean Sea. view more (2006-08-22)
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)
The 37th CIESM Congress Concludes That The Mediterranean Is A Victim Of Its Own Success
CIESM calls for urgent and massive funding to support Mediterranean marine science so that we can know more about endangered marine life and deep-sea ecosystems on our own Planet than about the remote possibility of life in outer space. The Mediterranean Sea is now facing unprecedented pressure as a result of mounting human impact (coastal... view more... (2004-06-25)
