President Dmitry Medvedev set the task of formalizing Russia's right to a considerable part of the Arctic shelf at the September 17 meeting of the country's Security Council. This will "turn the Arctic into Russia's resource base of the 21st ... read moreSeabird Ammonia Emissions Contribute To Atmospheric Acidity 
Amsterdam, Netherlands (SPX) Sep 25, 2008Ammonia emissions from seabirds have been shown to be a significant source of nitrogen in remote coastal ecosystems, contributing to nutrient enrichment (eutrophication) and acidification in ecosystems. While most ammonia emissions originate from domesticated animals such as poultry and pigs, seabirds are the most significant emitters of ammonia to the atmosphere in remote regions. ... more |

Walker's World: The crisis deepens
Zurich, Switzerland (UPI) Sep 24, 2008 Other countries that have been raking in cash like China and the oil-exporting states have sovereign wealth funds. The United States instead has been forced to resort to the opposite, a sovereign debt fund. That, at least, was how it looked when U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke launched their $700 billion plan over the weekend. Around the ... more Savers mob Bank of East Asia over stability rumours 
Hong Kong (AFP) Sept 24, 2008Thousands of Hong Kong savers mobbed branches of Bank of East Asia on Wednesday to withdraw deposits, as the bank scrambled to reassure them it was not overexposed to Lehman Brothers and AIG. Police were called in to control the crowds after text messages flashed across the city warning the bank was unstable as it held a large number of assets linked to the failed Wall Street bank and the ... more Ocean Floor Geysers Warm Flowing Sea Water 
Chicago IL (SPX) Sep 25, 2008An international team of earth scientists report movement of warmed sea water through the flat, Pacific Ocean floor off Costa Rica. The movement is greater than that off midocean volcanic ridges. The finding suggests possible marine life in a part of the ocean once considered barren. With about 71 percent of the Earth's surface being ocean, much remains unknown about what is under the sea, ... more  |

Researchers Find Animal With Ability To Survive Climate Change
Belfast, UK (SPX) Sep 25, 2008Queen's researchers have found that the main source of food for many fish - including cod - in the North Atlantic appears to adapt in order to survive climate change. Billions of Calanus finmarchicus, a plankton species, which are just a few millimetres in size, live in the waters of the North Atlantic where the research was carried out. It showed they responded to global warming after the ... more Modest CO2 Cutbacks May Be Too Little, Too Late For Coral Reefs 
Stanford CA (SPX) Sep 25, 2008How much carbon dioxide is too much? According to United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) greenhouse gases in the atmosphere need to be stabilized at levels low enough to "prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system." But scientists have come to realize that an even more acute danger than climate change is lurking in the world's oceans-one th ... more Melting Ice Under Pressure 
Livermore CA (SPX) Sep 25, 2008The deep interior of Neptune, Uranus and Earth may contain some solid ice. Through first-principle molecular dynamics simulations, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists, together with University of California, Davis collaborators, used a two-phase approach to determine the melting temperature of ice VII (a high-pressure phase of ice) in pressures ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 atmos ... more Hope fades for trapped miners, death toll rises in Philippines typhoon 
Baguio, Philippines (AFP) Sept 24, 2008The death toll from Typhoon Hagupit in the Philippines rose to eight with hopes fading for 13 gold miners still trapped in a flooded tunnel, officials said Wednesday. The civil defence office said four people were drowned, three killed by landslides and one person electrocuted by a fallen power line after Hagupit hit the archipelago on Sunday. Almost 5,000 people were still displaced by ... more |
