Fairbanks AK (SPX) Sep 27, 2004Institute of Arctic Biology (IAB) ecologists Donie Bret-Harte and Terry Chapin, and colleagues working in northern Alaska, discovered that tundra plants and soils respond in surprisingly opposite ways to conditions that simulate long-term climate warming. New Structure Found Deep Within West Antarctic Ice Sheet 
Bristol, UK (SPX) Sep 24, 2004Scientists have found a remarkable new structure deep within the West Antarctic Ice Sheet which suggests that the whole ice sheet is more susceptible to future change than previously thought. |

Scientists Report Increased Thinning Of West Antarctic Glaciers
Wallops Island VA (SPX) Sep 24, 2004Glaciers in West Antarctica are shrinking at a rate substantially higher than observed in the 1990s. They are losing 60 percent more ice into the Amundsen Sea than they accumulate from inland snowfall. New Hydrothermal Vents Discovered As "South Pacific Odyssey" Research Begins 
University Park PA (SPX) Sep 24, 2004A team of 27 U.S. marine scientists beginning an intensive program of exploration at the Lau Basin, in the South Pacific, has discovered a new cluster of hydrothermal vents along a volcanically active crack in the seafloor. Strong Quake Could Trigger A Tsunami In Southern California 
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Sep 24, 2004With a strong enough jolt - a 7.6 -magnitude earthquake - the seafloor under Catalina Island could be violently thrust upward, causing a tsunami along the Southern California coast, according to researchers at the University of Southern California. Antarctic Glaciers Accelerating In Response To 2002 Ice Sheet Collapse 
Boulder CO (SPX) Sep 22, 2004Glaciers in Antarctica's most rapidly warming region have quickened their pace following the collapse of a Delaware-sized ice shelf in March 2002, according to a new study led by the Scientists Explore Genome Of Methane-Breathing Microbe 
Rockville MD (SPX) Sep 22, 2004The first complete genome sequence of a methane-breathing bacterium has revealed a surprising flexibility in its metabolism, suggesting an ability to live successfully in environments previously thought to be beyond its reach. UAF Scientists Discover New Marine Habitat In Alaska 
Prince William Sound AK (SPX) Sep 22, 2004While researchers in Alaska this summer used high-tech submersibles and huge ships to plumb the deep-ocean depths in search of new species, a team of scuba diving scientists working from an Alaska fishing boat has discovered an entirely new marine habitat just a stone's throw from shore. New Accurate Uranium/Lead Dating Technique For Earth's Largest Extinction 
by Robert SandersBerkeley CA (SPX) Sep 21, 2004 A new study by geologists at the Berkeley Geochronology Center and the University of California, Berkeley, improves upon a widely used dating technique, opening the possibility of a vastly more accurate time scale for major geologic events in Earth's history. |

New Delhi, India (XNA) Sep 21, 2004India's Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle, GSLV Monday successfully launched EDUSAT the country's first thematic satellite dedicated exclusively for educational services, into a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) from Satish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR (SDSC SHAR), Sriharikota. Cold Sugar In Space Provides Clue To Molecular Origin Of Life 
Socorro NM (SPX) Sep 21, 2004Astronomers using the National Science Foundation's giant Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) have discovered a frigid reservoir of simple sugar molecules in a cloud of gas and dust some 26,000 light-years away, near the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. Fossil Genes Reveal How Life Sheds Form And Function 
Madison WI (SPX) Sep 21, 2004Reading the fossil record, a paleontologist can peer into evolutionary history and see the surface features that plants and animals and, occasionally, microbes have left behind. Cluster Locates Source Of Non-Thermal Terrestrial Continuum Radiation 
Paris (ESA) Sep 20, 2004Published 14 July 2004, in Annales Geophysicae, a multipoint analysis of Cluster data allows, for the first time, to locate the source of non-thermal terrestrial continuum radiation by triangulation. Past Antarctic Ice Sheet Development Linked To Ocean Temperatures And Co2 
Santa Barbara CA (SPX) Sep 17, 2004New research published in the September 17 issue of the journal Science sheds light on the evolution of Earth's climate system by identifying changes in temperature, ocean circulation, and global carbon cycling associated with the rapid growth of Antarctic ice sheets approximately 14 million years ago. Nanobac Life Sciences Announces Space Act Agreement With NASA 
Tampa FL (SPX) Sep 17, 2004Nanobac Life Sciences, Inc. is pleased to announce the signing of a Space Act Agreement with NASA's Johnson Space Center (JSC), Houston Texas, to collaborate on research on Nanobacteria and its nature and role in pathological calcification, including the detection and treatment of the pathogen.
