Sounds From the Sea
Manmade and natural sounds,
from boat engines to
rainfall, sound different
below the sea surface. To
study their impact of noise
on marine life, scientists
are submerging devices
called Passive Aquatic

Small Fish Detect Big Problems
Researchers are using
bluegills to detect
industrial and agricultural
spills in water supplies.
Changes in the environment
cause the fishes' behavior
and breathing patterns to

Is Your Drinking Water Contaminated?
Ecological engineers have
developed software that can
model the path of a toxic
spill in waterways anywhere
in the United States. The
system can predict if and
when a contaminant will

Our Changing Climate
Geographers have projected
temperature increases due to
greenhouse gas emissions to
reach a not-so-chilling
conclusion: climate zones
will shift and some climates
will disappear completely by
2100. Tropical highlands and

Computer, electrical, and mechanical engineering students at the University of Florida have built a fully automated underwater vehicle. Driven by five thrusters and controlled by complex electronics, ... > more -
Oceanographers Uncover The Physics Of Rip Currents
Rip currents flow in very erratic patterns, not in steady courses as previously believed -- which may help explain why they can be so dangerous even for experienced swimmers. Oceanographers have ... > more -
Physicists Show "Antigravity" Mystery Spots Are Optical Illusions
At several hilly locations around the U.S., know as "gravity hills," objects such as cars left on neutral supposedly roll uphill, driven by unknown forces and against the force of gravity. Physicists ... > more
