Catastrophic 'Lake Burst' chills climate
Ocean circulation changes during the present warm interglacial were more extensive than previously thought, according to new research by the University of East Anglia (UEA) and Cardiff University.
Increased flow of groundwater after earthquakes suggests oil extraction applications
The most obvious manifestation of an earthquake is the shaking from seismic waves that knocks down buildings and rattles people. Now researchers have established a more subtle effect of this shaking--it increases the permeability of rock to groundwater and other fluids.
First global bird map provides new clues to future extinctions
The first global survey of bird diversity could play a key role in identifying species most vulnerable to extinction, researchers report in the journal PLoS Biology
Global warming could accelerate from thawing Siberian permafrost
Permafrost soil blanketing northeastern Siberia contains about 75 times more carbon than is released by burning fossil fuels each year. That means it could become a potent, likely unstoppable contributor to global climate change if it continues to thaw.

Size matters: from aerosol particles to cloud droplets
In spite of diverse origins and composition of aerosol particles in central Europe, their ability to grow into cloud droplets is controlled predominantly by their size
Much of the world emerged from last ice age together
The end of the recurring, 100,000-year glacial cycles is one of the most prominent and readily identifiable features in records of the Earth's recent climate history
Report warns of rising CO2 threats to marine life
Worldwide emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning are dramatically altering ocean chemistry and threatening marine organisms, including corals, that secrete skeletal structures and help support ocean biodiversity
Scientists succesfully sample subglacial lake
Earlier this month, scientists from UH Manoa's School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST), in collaboration with Icelandic research institutes, successfully drilled into and sampled a lake deep beneath a glacier in Iceland

Studies show that rockfish thrive with offshore platforms as their home base
While some observers consider offshore oil and gas platforms to be an eyesore on the horizon, new data shows they are performing a critical function for marine life
Spider silk researchers uncover treasure trove of genetic information about the wonder fibers
A search for the genetic basis of different orb-weaver silks reveals their common ancestry and greatly expands the genetic library for the amazing material that intrigues commercial manufacturers
Human activity linked to rise of hurricanes
Human-induced climate change, rather than naturally occurring ocean cycles, may be responsible for the recent increases in the frequency and strength of North Atlantic hurricanes, according to MIT and Penn State researchers
North Pole's ancient past holds clues about future global warming
A treasure trove of scientific data is revealing detailed information about conditions of subtropical warmth at the North Pole about 55 million years ago while also providing a window into the future, when greenhouse gases are expected to reach the same levels that caused Earth's ancient heat wave

Study shows that parasites form the thread of food webs
Scientists have discovered that parasites are surprisingly important in food webs and their findings appear in a report published in the Early Edition of the on-line version of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
