The sea level has been rising and falling over the last 2,500 years (1/29/2010)

The sea level has been rising and falling over the last 2,500 yearsThe sea level in Israel has been rising and falling over the past 2,500 years, with a one-meter difference between the highest and lowest levels. This has been shown in a new study supervised by Dr. Dorit Sivan, head of the department of maritime civilizations at the University of Haifa. "Rises and falls in sea level over relatively short periods do not testify to a long-term trend," Dr. Sivan explains. ...> Full Article


Maximum height of extreme waves up dramatically in Pacific Northwest (1/28/2010)

Maximum height of extreme waves up dramatically in Pacific NorthwestA major increase in maximum ocean wave heights off the Pacific Northwest in recent decades has forced scientists to re-evaluate how high a "100-year event" might be, and the new findings raise special concerns for flooding, coastal erosion and structural damage. ...> Full Article


Congo receives help from space after volcano eruption (1/25/2010)

Congo receives help from space after volcano eruptionOn Jan. 2, Mount Nyamulagira in the Democratic Republic of Congo erupted, spewing lava from its southern flank and raising concerns that the 100,000 people in the town of Sake could be under threat. Fears were also triggered in Goma as rumors circulated that an eruption was imminent at the nearby Nyiragongo volcano, which devastated the city in 2002. ...> Full Article


San Andreas Fault study unearths new quake information (1/24/2010)

San Andreas Fault study unearths new quake informationRecent collaborative studies of stream channel offsets along the San Andreas Fault by researchers at Arizona State University and UC Irvine reveal new information about fault behavior -- affecting how we understand the potential for damaging earthquakes. ...> Full Article


Cave reveals Southwest's abrupt climate swings during Ice Age (1/23/2010)

Cave reveals Southwest's abrupt climate swings during Ice AgeIce Age climate records from an Arizona stalagmite link the Southwest's winter precipitation to temperatures in the North Atlantic, according to new research. The stalagmite yielded an almost continuous, century-by-century climate record spanning 55,000 to 11,000 years ago, a time the Southwest flip-flopped between wet and dry periods. The finding is the first to document that the abrupt changes in Ice Age climate known from Greenland also occurred in the southwestern US. ...> Full Article


Volcanic hazard map produced for island of Gran Canaria (1/22/2010)

Volcanic hazard map produced for island of Gran CanariaSpanish and French researchers have defined the age, location, size and geochemistry of the volcanoes of Gran Canaria during the Holocene, 11,000 years ago, in order to draw up a map of volcanic hazards for the island. The research shows that the area of greatest volcanic activity is one of the most heavily populated areas in the north east of the island, which has suffered 24 eruptions over the period studied. ...> Full Article


The seismic gap south of Istanbul (1/21/2010)

Jurassic 'burn-down' events and organic matter richness in the Kimmeridge Clay Formation (1/20/2010)

Jurassic 'burn-down' events and organic matter richness in the Kimmeridge Clay FormationThe sediments of the Kimmeridge Clay Formation were deposited during the Late Jurassic between around 160 and 145 million years ago, the age of the reptiles. They are the main oil source rock in the North Sea. However, within this unit beds rich in organic matter are interspersed with organic-poor sediments. New evidence demonstrates that organic-poor sediments were probably caused by post-depositional loss of organic matter during so-called "burn-down" events. ...> Full Article


New satellite maps of Haiti coming in (1/17/2010)

Haiti quake occurred in complex, active seismic region (1/16/2010)

Haiti quake occurred in complex, active seismic regionThe magnitude 7.0 earthquake that triggered disastrous destruction and mounting death tolls in Haiti this week occurred in a highly complex tangle of tectonic faults near the intersection of the Caribbean and North American crustal plates, according to a quake expert at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution who has studied faults in the region and throughout the world. ...> Full Article


Much of the early methane rise can be attributed to the spreading of northern peatlands (1/15/2010)

The surprising increase in methane concentrations millennia ago, identified in continental glacier studies, has puzzled researchers for a long time. According to a strong theory, this would have resulted from the commencement of rice cultivation in East Asia. However, a study conducted at the University of Helsinki's Department of Environmental Sciences and the Department of Geosciences and Geography shows that the massive expanse of the northern peatlands occurred around 5000 years ago, coincident with rising atmospheric methane levels. ...> Full Article


Heat and moisture from Himalayas could be a key cause of the South Asian monsoon (1/14/2010)

Harvard climate scientists suggest that the Tibetan Plateau -- thought to be the primary source of heat that drives the South Asian monsoon -- may have far less of an effect than the Himalayas and other surrounding mountains. As the monsoon brings needed rainfall and water to billions of people each year, understanding its proper origin, especially in the context of global climate change, is crucial for the future sustainability of the region. ...> Full Article


Melting tundra creating vast river of waste into Arctic Ocean (1/12/2010)

Melting tundra creating vast river of waste into Arctic OceanThe increase in temperature in the Arctic has already caused the sea-ice there to melt. According to research conducted by the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, if the Arctic tundra also melts, vast amounts of organic material will be carried by the rivers straight into the Arctic Ocean, resulting in additional emissions of carbon dioxide. ...> Full Article


Bering Strait influenced ice age climate patterns worldwide (1/11/2010)

Bering Strait influenced ice age climate patterns worldwideIn a vivid example of how a small geographic feature can have far-reaching impacts on climate, new research shows that water levels in the Bering Strait helped drive global climate patterns during ice age episodes dating back more than 100,000 years. ...> Full Article


Study probes mystery of loop current in eastern Gulf of Mexico (1/10/2010)

A study released by the Minerals Management Service today examines the circulation in the eastern Gulf of Mexico and sheds new light on the behavior of the Loop Current and Loop Current Eddies, the relation between the upper- and lower-layer currents, and the variability of water mass characteristics in deep water. ...> Full Article


Coal from mass extinction era linked to lung cancer mystery (1/7/2010)

Coal from mass extinction era linked to lung cancer mysteryThe volcanic eruptions thought responsible for Earth's largest mass extinction -- which killed more than 70 percent of plants and animals 250 million years ago -- is still taking lives today. That's the conclusion of a new study showing, for the first time, that the high silica content of coal in one region of China may be interacting with volatile substances in the coal to cause unusually high rates of lung cancer. The study appears in ACS' Environmental Science & Technology. ...> Full Article
