Paris, France (ESA) Oct 08, 2004One hundred and thirty space scientists from around the globe gathered to discuss the most recent scientific achievements and goals of the Cluster mission, and chart out its next phase. Volcanic Gas May Have Played A Significant Role In Life's Beginning 
San Diego CA (SPX) Oct 08, 2004Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies are reporting a possible answer to a longstanding question in research on the origins of life on Earth - how did the first amino acids form the first peptides? |

Arctic Sea Ice Declines Again This Year Finds Study
Boulder CO (SPX) Oct 05, 2004Researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder have found that the extent of Arctic sea ice- the floating mass of ice that covers the Arctic Ocean- is continuing its rapid decline. Earthquake Forecast Program Has Amazing Success Rate 
WASHINGTON DC (SPX) Oct 05, 2004A NASA funded earthquake prediction program has an amazing track record. Published in 2002, the Rundle-Tiampo Forecast has accurately predicted the locations of 15 of California's 16 largest earthquakes this decade, including last week's tremors. NASA Infrared Images May Provide Volcano Clues 
Moffett Field CA (SPX) Oct 05, 2004NASA scientists took infrared (IR) digital images of Mount Saint Helens last week. The images revealed signs of heat below the surface one day before the volcano erupted last Friday in southern Washington. The images may provide valuable clues as to how the volcano erupted. Wakey Wakey Shakey Shakey.. I'm Back 
Pasadene CA (JPL) Oct 04, 2004Mount Saint Helens is a prime example of how Earth's topographic form can greatly change even within our lifetimes. The mountain is one of several prominent volcanoes of the Cascade Range that stretches from British Columbia, Canada, southward through Washington, Oregon, and into northern California. US Volcano Eruption Imminent: Geologists
Seattle WA(AFP) Oct 03, 2004A tremor shook Mount St. Helens for 25 minutes early Sunday, prompting scientists to warn of an imminent eruption two days after the volcano came back to life. Climate Change Plus Human Pressure Caused Large Mammal Extinctions 
Berkeley CA (SPX) Oct 04, 2004A University of California, Berkeley, paleobiologist and his colleagues warn that the future of the Earth's mammals could be as dire as it was between 50,000 and 10,000 years ago, when a combination of climate change and human pressure resulted in the extinction of two-thirds of all large mammals on the planet. Scientists Sequence Genome Of Organism Central To Biosphere's Carbon Cycle 
Berkeley CA (SPX) Oct 04, 2004The first ever genomic map of a diatom, part of a family of microscopic ocean algae that are among the Earth's most important inhabitants, has yielded surprising insights about the way they may be using nitrogen, fats and silica in order to thrive. |
Neo-Tugboats: The No-Nukes Option?
Moffett Field (SPX) Oct 01, 2004I have just returned from Erice, Italy, which lies on a mountaintop at the northwest corner of Sicily. Erice is a major center for the World Federation of Scientists. From 18-26 August the attendees participated in the International Seminars on Planetary Emergencies and Associated Meetings. Frictional Motion Study Could Provide Tool For Earthquake Prediction 
Jerusalem (SPX) Sep 28, 2004A new study on "waves (or fronts) of detachment" involved in the process of friction offers a new perspective on an old scientific puzzle and could provide a key to improving predictions of future earthquakes, say scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Alaska Scientists Find Arctic Tundra Yields Surprising Carbon Loss 
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. |
