Humans causing erosion comparable to world's largest rivers and glaciers
A new study finds that large-scale farming projects can erode the Earth's surface at rates comparable to those of the world's largest rivers and glaciers. view more (2009-09-02)
HyBIS explores the Casablanca seamount
In October, the hydraulic benthic interactive sampler HyBIS maintained by the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (NOCS) made ten dives over the Casablanca Seamount, a four-kilometre high seamount located some 300 miles west of Morocco. view more (2009-11-02)
Hush Little Baby... Linking Genes, Brain, and Behavior in Children
It comes as no surprise that some babies are more difficult to soothe than others but frustrated parents may be relieved to know that this is not necessarily an indication of their parenting skills. view more (2009-07-14)
Different psychosocial factors predict adoption, maintenance of physical activity program
The health benefits of regular physical activity are well documented, yet only 32 percent of adults in the United States engage in regular exercise. Now a new study by researchers at The Miriam Hospital offers some new insight into the role of social and environmental influences on physical activity behaviors. view more (2008-10-23)
Journey to the center of the earth: Discovery sheds light on mantle formation
Uncovering a rare, two-billion-year-old window into the Earth's mantle, a University of Houston professor and his team have found our planet's geological history is more complex than previously thought. view more (2008-04-11)
Deep Space Brine
Scientists from The University of Manchester have found traces of sea water in a meteorite that fell in Morocco in 1998. This discovery shows that the necessary conditions for life in the Universe may have existed much earlier than previously believed. The team found salt crystals containing pockets of brine within the... view more... (2000-06-08)
Children's memory of long-ago events may be more accurate than previously thought
Children's memories of events that occurred long ago may be more accurate than their recollections of events that took place recently. view more (2007-07-20)
Solar Contribution To 'Global Warming' Predicted To Decrease
New research on the sun's contribution to global warming is reported in this month's Astronomy & Geophysics. By looking at solar activity over the last 11,000 years, British Antarctic Survey (BAS) astrophysicist, Mark Clilverd, predicts that the sun's contribution to warming the Earth will reduce slightly over the next 100 years. This is a... view more... (2003-10-01)
A New Method For Assessing Neurological Development Of Fetuses? (p 779)
A preliminary study in this week's issue of THE LANCET outlines how light-emitting technology could help in the future assessment of fetal neurological development. There have been only a few studies of visual-evoked response in human fetuses, and all have focused on general changes such as heart rate, body movements, and eye movements. Curtis... view more...

Breaking a sweat helps control weight gain over 20 years
Don't slack off on exercise if you want to avoid packing on the pounds as you age. view more (2007-11-06)
Slippery stretching explains ocean floor formation
For the first time, scientists have found regions of the earth's crust which are stretching apart to form new sea floor. view more (2006-07-31)
'Rosetta Stone' of supervolcanoes discovered in Italian Alps
Scientists have found the "Rosetta Stone" of supervolcanoes, those giant pockmarks in the Earth's surface produced by rare and massive explosive eruptions that rank among nature's most violent events. The eruptions produce devastation on a regional scale - and possibly trigger climatic and environmental effects at a global scale. view more (2009-09-21)
El Ni'ħo was more intense 4000 years ago
Examination of fossil corals on Vanuatu have enabled scientists from IRD (Institut de recherche pour le développement, ex-Orstom) based at Noumea to reconstruct the sequence of variations in sea surface temperature (SST) in the southwest Pacific Ocean that occurred over a period of 50 years, 4200 years B. P. (in the Holocene). Although... view more... (2000-11-07)
Volcanoes, asteroids and mass extinctions
Neither massive volcanic eruptions nor extraterrestrial impacts are sufficiently powerful on their own to cause mass extinctions of life on Earth, research by University of Leicester geologists suggests. Instead, both events coincidentally occurring together may be required to cause the worst mass extinctions. In the last 300 million years, life... view more... (2004-05-17)
Generation of a severe memory-deficit mutant mouse by exclusively eliminating the kinase activity of CaMKIIalpha
Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II alpha (CaMKII alpha) is an enzyme that adds phosphates to a variety of protein substrates to modify their functions. view more (2009-06-19)
More than a meteor likely killed dinosaurs 65 million years ago
Growing evidence shows that the dinosaurs and their contemporaries were not wiped out by the famed Chicxulub meteor impact alone, according to a paleontologist who says multiple meteor impacts, massive volcanism in India and climate changes culminated in the end of the Cretaceous Period. view more (2006-10-27)
Fortuitous research provides first detailed documentation of tsunami erosion
Tsunamis are among the most-devastating natural calamities. These earthquake-generated waves can quickly engulf low-lying land and bring widespread destruction and death. They can deposit sand and debris far inland from where they came ashore. view more (2009-10-28)
Inhibitory systems control the pattern of activity in the cortex
Inhibitory systems are essential for controlling the pattern of activity in the cortex, which has important implications for the mechanisms of cortical operation, according to a Yale School of Medicine study in Neuron. view more (2005-08-29)
New research study reveals origin of volcano's carbon-based lavas
Scientists studying the world's most unusual volcano have discovered the reason behind its unique carbon-based lavas. view more (2009-05-07)
Disturbed rest, activity linked to mortality in older men
It appears that disrupted rest and activity rhythms are associated with increased mortality rates among older men, according to new University of Minnesota research. view more (2008-06-12)
