Study outlines eruption at undersea volcano
An international team of scientists has presented its findings from the first observations of the eruption of a submarine volcano that in 2004 and 2005 spewed out plumes of sulfur-rich fluid and pulses of volcanic ash 550 meters below the ocean's surface near the Mariana Islands northwest of Guam.   view more (2006-05-25)

Survey off San Diego Reveals Details of Sand Movements
An underwater survey off San Diego has revealed geological details of how sand builds up along Southern California's continental shelf and could help resource managers to locate deposits to rebuild beaches, according to a report by scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego.   view more (2007-04-09)

How rusty is the Earth?
An iron object lying around outside quickly turns rusty. Iron metal always has to be combined with some other elements or coated with paint to stop it corroding. The reason for this is that iron metal is unstable in the presence of the oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere. It reacts with the iron to... view more (2004-06-10)

Why is Greenland covered in ice?
