Woods Hole MA (SPX) Jan 13, 2005A dozen major earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or greater have occurred in the Caribbean near Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the island of Hispaniola, shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic, in the past 500 years, and several have generated tsunamis. NASA/French Satellite Data Reveal New Details Of Tsunami 
Pasadena CA (JPL) Jan 13, 2005For the first time, orbiting satellites have observed and measured a major tsunami event in open ocean, the Indian Ocean tsunami that resulted from the magnitude 9 earthquake southwest of Sumatra on December 26. The measurements are of tremendous value to researchers worldwide and will aid our understanding of these events. More Than Monkey See, Monkey Do? 
Moffett Field CA (SPX) Jan 13, 2005Mammals other than humans can distinguish between different speech patterns. Neuroscientists in Barcelona report that rats, like humans (newborn and adult) and Tamarin monkeys, can extract regular patterns in language from speech (prosodic) cues. The report appears in the January issue of the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes, which is published by the American Psychological Association. NASA Details Earthquake Affects On The Earth 
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Jan 11, 2005NASA scientists using data from the Indonesian earthquake calculated it affected Earth's rotation, decreased the length of day, slightly changed the planet's shape, and shifted the North Pole by centimeters. The earthquake that created the huge tsunami also changed the Earth's rotation. Queen's Discovery Sheds New Light On Ancient Temperatures 
Kingston ON (SPX) Jan 11, 2005A new discovery by a team of Queen's University scientists suggests that ancient earth was much colder than previously thought � a discovery that has broad implications for those studying the earth's climate. |
