Antarctic icebergs: unlikely oases for ocean life

Icebergs have long gripped the popular imagination, whether as relatively run-of-the-mill floating hazards that cause “unsinkable' ships to founder or, more…

Geophysicists detect a molten rock layer deep below the American Southwest

But Arizona geophysicists Daniel Toffelmier and James Tyburczy detected the molten layer with a comparatively new and overlooked technique for exploring the…

Climate models consistent with ocean warming observations

That's the finding of a group of Livermore scientists, who in collaboration with colleagues at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, had earlier established…
