Marine Biologists Work To Protect Seahorses By Developing A Breeding Program
Marine biologists, worried that regular harvesting of wild seahorses may threaten the creature with extinction, have begun breeding them in home aquariums. Caring for seahorses requires a three-step ... > more -
Seismologists Devise New Technique To Measure Pollution
Seismologists have tested a new way to measure the concentration of the dangerous groundwater contaminant Trichloroethylene (TCE). Ultrasonic waves called P-waves are sent through ground containing ... > more -
Dermatologists Discover Sun Protection Under The Sea
Dermatologists recognize the benefits of a compound called astaxanthin. Found in red ocean plants and animals such as salmon, astaxanthin is the most effective and efficient free radical sponge in ... > more -
Geophysicists Discover Slippery Secret Of Weaker Underwater Earthquakes
Seismologists investigating undersea earthquakes have found that molten rock lubricates faults. This decreases the amount of friction between sides of the fault and decreases the intensity of ... > more -
Physicist Explains Benefits Of Carbon Dioxide
A physicist from Colorado State University and his colleagues from the North American Carbon Program (NACP) have discerned and confirmed the unforeseen advantages of rising carbon dioxide levels. ... > more -
Atmospheric Scientists Map Pollution Decrease
Spectroscopic images from remote-sensing satellites of the Ohio River Valley over 10 years have revealed a decreasing concentration of nitrogen oxides and nitric acid, precursors to ... > more -
Environmental Engineers Use Algae To Capture Carbon Dioxide
Engineers have designed a simple, sustainable and natural carbon sequestration solution using algae. A team at Ohio University created a photo bioreactor that uses photosynthesis to grow algae, ... > more -
Statisticians Show that High Altitude Makes Hits Longer
Two mathematicians at the University of Northern Colorado are taking a fresh statistical look at the effects of elevation on hitting -- specifically at Coors Field in Denver, where the field is at a ... > more -
Environmental Engineers Link Contamination Levels to Tides
By washing decomposing plants into the ocean, high tides could contribute to the increased levels of Enterococci that are often responsible for beach closures. Scientists have now established a clear ... > more -
Are Bioluminescent Bacteria Behind Milky Seas Legend?
For centuries, sailors in the Indian Ocean have told stories of seas glowing with a dim, white light at night. Satellite images have now confirmed the appearance of what seem to be bioluminescent ... > more
