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)
'Nymph of the sea' reveals remarkable brood
The scientists discovered the mother complete with her brood of some 20 eggs and 2 possible juveniles inside, together with other details of her soft part anatomy including legs and eyes. view more (2006-11-27)
Evidence from Hawaiian volcanoes shows that Earth recycles its crust
A geologist at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, has come up with evidence our planet practices recycling on a grand scale. view more (2006-11-30)
Ice Volcanoes on Saturn's Moon Enceladus
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics and the University of Potsdam have found ice volcanoes-or what could be called "ice geysers"-on the surface of Saturn's moon Enceladus. view more (2006-03-15)
Volcanic eruptions, ancient global warming linked
A team of scientists announced today confirmation of a link between massive volcanic eruptions along the east coast of Greenland and in the western British Isles about 55 million years ago and a period of global warming that raised sea surface temperatures by five degrees (Celsius) in the tropics and more than six degrees in the Arctic. view more (2007-04-27)
Inside the Ozone Layer
A new atmospheric model is able to quantify man-made versus naturally occurring damage to the stratosphere with an eye toward repairing the diminishing ozone layer that is located within the stratosphere. view more (2006-02-24)
Volcano-like tremors detected deep within Earth's crust near San Andreas
Tremors within the Earth are usually-but not always-related to the activity of a volcano. Now, such vibrations have been recorded nowhere near a volcano, but at a geologic observatory at the San Andreas Fault. view more (2006-04-13)
Hot volcanic eruptions could lead to a cooler Earth
Volcanic eruptions may be an agent of rapid and long-term climate change, according to new research by British scientists. view more (2005-06-13)
Scientists reveal fate of Earth's oceans
Scientists at The University of Manchester have uncovered the first evidence of seawater deep inside the Earth shedding new light on the fate of the planet's oceans, according to research published in Nature. view more (2006-05-11)
Scripps-led Global Ocean Warming Research Paper Published in Science
Research led by scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, that describes the first clear evidence of human-produced warming in the world's oceans will be published June 2, 2005, in the peer-reviewed journal Science. view more (2005-06-03)
Scientists find that lightning is good indicator of volcanic activity
Although it's been more than a year since Mount Augustine had its memorable eruption, work continues for University of Alaska Fairbanks researchers. The work of Alaska Volcano Observatory employees from UAF's Geophysical Institute will be appearing in the upcoming issue of the journal Science. view more (2007-03-29)
No safe ground for life to stand on during world's largest mass extinction
The world's largest mass extinction was probably caused by poisonous volcanic gas, according to research published today. view more (2005-12-02)
Meteor no longer prime suspect in great extinction
The greatest mass extinction in Earth's history also may have been one of the slowest, according to a study that casts further doubt on the extinction-by-meteor theory. view more (2007-10-25)
Far more than a meteor killed dinos
There's growing evidence that the dinosaurs and most their contemporaries were not wiped out by the famed Chicxulub meteor impact, 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 (2006-10-24)
Biodiversity promotes evolutionary change
Evolutionary biologists at the University of East Anglia have discovered a new link between biodiversity and the evolution of new species. view more (2005-04-18)
Volcanic aerosol clouds and gases lead to ozone destruction
Volcanic eruptions destroy ozone and create 'mini-ozone holes', according to two new studies by researchers at the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford. view more (2006-11-09)
New theory for mass extinctions
A new theory on just what causes Earth's worst mass extinctions may help settle the endless scientific dust-up on the matter. view more (2006-10-25)
Model gives clearer idea of how oxygen came to dominate Earth's atmosphere
A number of hypotheses have been used to explain how free oxygen first accumulated in Earth's atmosphere some 2.4 billion years ago, but a full understanding has proven elusive. view more (2005-08-09)
Why a Rocky Mountain high?
A University of Utah study shows how various regions of North America are kept afloat by heat within Earth's rocky crust, and how much of the continent would sink beneath sea level if not for heat that makes rock buoyant. view more (2007-06-25)
Unexpected discovery about earth's core
The core of the earth doesn't look the way it was expected to. Scientists at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden , KTH, can now show that iron, under extremely high pressure, such as that found in the inner earth, takes on unexpected properties, and this can be of importance in understanding the movements of the earth, such as,... view more...
