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... view more (2000-06-08)

Too much water, fertilizer bad for plant diversity
Too much of multiple good things - water or nutrients, for example - may decrease the diversity of plant life in an ecosystem while increasing the productivity of a few species, a UC Irvine scientist has discovered.   view more (2007-03-27)

Droughts and reservoirs: Finding storage space underground
Odd as it sounds, in some places the smartest way to safeguard the water supply is to let it drain out of the reservoirs and soak into the ground.   view more (2006-09-19)

Adding up business and energy
Could a business practice usually reserved for boosting profits be used to help turn companies green by reducing their energy use? Writing in the International Journal of Six Sigma and Competitive Advantage (IJSSCA), researchers in India provide an answer.   view more (2008-05-16)

Trees, forests and the Eiffel tower reveal theory of design in nature
What do a tree and the Eiffel Tower have in common? According to a Duke University engineer, both are optimized for flow. In the case of trees, the flow is of water from the ground throughout the trunk, branches and leaves, and into the air. The Eiffel Tower's flow carries stresses throughout the... view more (2008-08-14)

LSU, Yale team study agricultural impact on Mississippi River
According to a study published in "Nature" by researchers at LSU and Yale University, farming has significantly changed the hydrology and chemistry of the Mississippi River, injecting more carbon dioxide into the river and raising river discharge during the past 50 years.   view more (2008-01-24)

Saltwater solution to save crops

The Azov Sea: Radiation Recedes
Radioactive contamination of the Azov Sea has reached the level which existed before 1986 when the wreck of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant occurred. However, scientists state that regular check-ups of radio-ecological situation in the sea should be continued as the sea can be contaminated for... view more (2003-09-12)

UWE develops detectors for oestrogen in river water
Small quantities of oestrogens, which are female hormones, are excreted from the body and thus enter the sewage system. Although these chemicals seem to be largely removed in sewage treatment, it seems that minute quantities remain and thus can enter rivers to which treated sewage is... view more (2001-08-14)

Study finds environmental tests help predict hospital-acquired Legionnaires' disease risk
A new study spearheaded by the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine has determined that environmental monitoring of institutional water systems can help to predict the risk of hospital-acquired Legionella pneumonia, better known as Legionnaires' disease.   view more (2007-08-23)

Tracing poisonous gases in the ocean
About one and a half years ago the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft assigned the Research Center Ocean Margins to the University of Bremen. In the future the Center shall act as a center of excellence in the field of marine research. Having completed its building-up phase today the first marine... view more (2003-01-21)

Ocean acidification threatens cold-water coral ecosystems
Corals don't only occur in warm, sun-drenched, tropical seas; some species are found at depths of three miles or more in cold, dark waters throughout the world's oceans.   view more (2006-04-03)
