Scientists have discovered a new group of microbes thriving in extreme conditions deep in the Mediterranean Sea. Their existence in such hostile environments hints at the possibility of life on other planets. view more (2005-01-13)
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)
Breakup of glaciers raising sea level concern
The rapid structural breakdown of some important parts of the ice sheets on Greenland and Antarctica is possible, has happened in the distant past, and some "startling changes" on the margin of these ice masses has been observed in recent years - raising disturbing concerns about sea level rise. view more (2005-10-21)
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)
Erosion rates double along portion of Alaska's coast
Skyrocketing coastal erosion occurred in Alaska between 2002 and 2007 along a 64 kilometer (40 mile) stretch of the Beaufort Sea, a new study finds. The surge of erosion in recent years, averaging more than double historical rates, is threatening coastal towns and destroying Alaskan cultural relics. view more (2009-02-19)
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)
Stanford researchers say living corals thousands of years old hold clues to past climate changes
Using radiocarbon dating and samples of deep-sea corals snipped from the floor of the Pacific Ocean by a submersible, researchers from Stanford and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have discovered that deep-sea corals growing off Hawaii are much older than previously thought-some as old as 4,000 years. view more (2008-02-15)
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)
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)
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)
Melting threat from West Antarctic Ice Sheet may be less than expected, could hit US hardest
While a total or partial collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet as a result of warming would not raise global sea levels as high as some predict, levels on the U.S. seaboards would rise 25 percent more than the global average and threaten cities like New York, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco, according to a new study. view more (2009-05-15)
Coral reef decline-not just overfishing
Coral reefs, the rainforests of the sea, feed a large portion of the world's population, protect tropical shorelines from erosion, and harbor animals and plants with great potential to provide new therapeutic drugs. view more (2005-08-24)
Ocean satellite launch critical to Australian science
A new earth observing satellite being launched in California today will help guide future Australian ocean and climate science. view more (2008-06-23)
Richness of Marine Life is Under Threat
Future potential for the production of new wonder drugs - including anti-cancer agents - from marine animals and plants, is under threat according to biodiversity expert Professor Carlo Heip, speaking at the European marine science and ocean technology conference EurOCEAN 2004 in Galway, today. According to Professor Heip, marine biodiversity -... view more... (2004-05-11)
New study shows extent of harmful human influences on global ecosystems
More than 40 percent of the world's oceans are heavily impacted by human activities, including overfishing and pollution, according to a new study that will appear in tomorrow's peer-reviewed journal Science. view more (2008-02-15)
Arctic sea ice annual freeze-up underway
After reaching the second-lowest extent ever recorded last month, sea ice in the Arctic has begun to refreeze in the face of autumn temperatures, closing both the Northern Sea Route and the direct route through the Northwest Passage. view more (2008-10-03)

Arctic sea ice recovers slightly in 2009, remains on downward trend, says U. of Colorado report
Despite a slight recovery in summer Arctic sea ice in 2009 from record-setting low years in 2007 and 2008, the sea ice extent remains significantly below previous years and remains on a trend leading toward ice-free Arctic summers, according to the University of Colorado at Boulder's National Snow and Ice Data Center. view more (2009-10-07)
390-million-year-old scorpion fossil -- biggest bug known
The gigantic fossil claw of an 390 million-year-old sea scorpion, recently found in Germany, shows that ancient arthropods - spiders, insects, crabs and the like - were surprisingly larger than their modern-day counterparts. view more (2007-11-26)
Europeans took the long way round - new support for southern exit out of Africa
All non-Africans descend from a group of humans that left Africa by a coastal route across the mouth of the Red Sea to South Asia - rather than by a direct route to Europe - less than 80,000 years ago. view more (2005-05-12)
