Climate swings have brought great CO2 pulses up from the deep sea
May 10, 2007, The Earth Institute at Columbia University—A study released today provides some of the first solid evidence that warming-induced changes in ocean circulation at the end of the last Ice Age caused vast quantities of ancient carbon dioxide to belch from the deep sea into the... view more (2007-05-14)

Ice clouds put Mars in the shade
Until now, Mars has generally been regarded as a desert world, where a visiting astronaut would be surprised to see clouds scudding across the orange sky. However, new results show that the arid planet possesses high-level clouds that are sufficiently dense to cast a shadow on the surface.   view more (2008-01-17)

New biofuels process promises to meet all U.S. transportation needs
Purdue University chemical engineers have proposed a new environmentally friendly process for producing liquid fuels from plant matter-or biomass-potentially available from agricultural and forest waste, providing all of the fuel needed for "the entire U.S. transportation sector."   view more (2007-03-15)

NASA research reveals climate warming reduces ocean food supply
In a NASA study, scientists have concluded that when Earth's climate warms, there is a reduction in the ocean's primary food supply. This poses a potential threat to fisheries and ecosystems.   view more (2006-12-07)

Study suggests new therapy for lung disease patients
A new study by researchers at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine may change current thinking about how best to treat patients in respiratory distress in hospital intensive care units.   view more (2008-02-11)

Researchers study how ice melts in contact with soil
A team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research in Stuttgart (Germany) and the ESRF in France has studied how ice starts to melt at temperatures as low as - 17ºC. This can occur when ice is in contact with SiO2, a material commonly found in soil. Below the melting temperature... view more (2004-06-15)

Ancient greenhouse emissions possible lessons for modern climate
Humans are performing a high-stakes climate experiment by burning fossil fuels that release heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.   view more (2006-02-17)

Grape expectations for healthier wine
A new technique that uses ozone to preserve grapes could help prevent allergies and boost healthy compounds at the same time, reports Jennifer Rohn in Chemistry & Industry, the magazine of the SCI.   view more (2007-02-12)

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)

Ancient rocks show how young Earth avoided becoming giant snowball
A greenhouse gas that has become the bane of modern society may have saved Earth from completely freezing over early in the planet's history, according to the first detailed laboratory analysis of the world's oldest sedimentary rocks.   view more (2007-02-06)

Major progress in technology needed for 25 percent renewable energy use to be affordable
Dramatic progress in renewable energy technology is needed if the United States desires to produce 25 percent of its electricity and motor vehicle fuel from renewable sources by 2025 without significantly increasing consumer costs.   view more (2008-06-25)
