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)
New risk analysis study shows school soft drink consumption has no impact on adolescent obesity
A first-of-its-kind peer-reviewed study applying risk analysis methodology to nutrition policy shows that consumption of carbonated soft drinks from school vending machines has virtually no impact on adolescent obesity. view more (2005-10-19)
Big bang in Antarctica — killer crater found under ice
Planetary scientists have found evidence of a meteor impact much larger and earlier than the one that killed the dinosaurs — an impact that they believe caused the biggest mass extinction in Earth's history. view more (2006-06-02)

More Evidence Chicxulub Was Too Early
A new study of melted rock ejected far from the Yucatan's Chicxulub impact crater bolsters the idea that the famed impact was too early to have caused the mass extinction that killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. view more (2006-03-30)

Seismic images show dinosaur-killing meteor made bigger splash
The most detailed three-dimensional seismic images yet of the Chicxulub crater, a mostly submerged and buried impact crater on the Mexico coast, may modify a theory explaining the extinction of 70 percent of life on Earth 65 million years ago. view more (2008-01-24)

UAF geologist studies Chicxulub impact crater
About 65 million years ago, a massive disruption led to worldwide extinction of dinosaurs. The impact of a giant asteroid created massive tsunamis and spewed forth a global cloud of carbon gases that altered Earth's atmosphere and blocked the light for weeks, possibly years. In recent years, that impact event has been linked to a 112-mile-wide... view more... (2007-01-19)

Changes in Ocean Circulation Could Lead To Rapid Regional Sea Level Change
One of the major consequences of future ocean circulation changes would be sea level change. This is shown in a new study by scientists from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany which was published in the recent issue of "Climate Dynamics". They investigated the scenario of a possible shutdown of the Atlantic overturning... view more... (2005-04-04)
