 | Volcanologist says the latest eruption and lahar on Mt Ruapehu, in New Zealand, is just like the September 1995 eruption. ...> Full Article |
Researcher shows that deep-sea temperatures rose 1,300 years before the buildup of atmospheric carbon dioxide, ruling out CO2 as driver of the last ice age's meltdown.
...> Full Article
 | Scientists have found that traces of oxygen appeared in Earth's atmosphere 50 to 100 million years earlier than previously thought--before what geologists call the "Great Oxidation Event." ...> Full Article |
 | Unprecedented warm temperatures in the High Arctic this past summer were so extreme that climate change researchers have begun revising their forecasts. ...> Full Article |
 | Climate changes have jeopardized human health in the past, and are bound to do so again. The Dust Bowl of the 1930s, for example, led to many illnesses and deaths from breathing difficulties and malnutrition, and prompted westward migrations of people vying for scarce food, shelter, and work. ...> Full Article |
 | Scientists say that the extent of Arctic sea ice appears to have reached its minimum for 2007 on Sept. 16, shattering all previous lows since satellite record-keeping began nearly 30 years ago. ...> Full Article |
 | World oceans would rise 23 feet and flood many coastal areas if climate change melted the entire Greenland ice cap. And satellite images from 1980 onward reveal the surface of this vast ice sheet is warming, getting soggy and staying wet for longer periods every year. ...> Full Article |
Researchers find not so between Siberia and Alaska, where winter sea ice holds its own.

 | Geochemists at are challenging commonly held ideas about how gases are expelled from the Earth. Their theory could change the way scientists view the formation of Earth's atmosphere and those of our distant neighbors, Mars and Venus. Their data throw into doubt the timing and mechanism of atmospheric formation on terrestrial plants. ...> Full Article |
In 1911 the discovery that the world was billions of years old changed our view of the world for ever.

 | During the last Ice Age, the ice dammed enormous lakes in Russia. The drainage system was reversed several times and the rivers flowed southwards. A group of geologists is now investigating what took place when the ice melted and the lakes released huge volumes of fresh water into the Arctic Ocean. ...> Full Article |
 | Geoscientists at The University of Western Australia and Pennsylvania State University have found that the origins of complex life on Earth were significantly affected by volcanic activity more than two billion years ago. ...> Full Article |
