From hot springs to rice farms, scientists reveal new insights into the secret lives of archaea

For years, biologists have pigeonholed archaea as extremophiles-creatures that live in extreme conditions. Indeed, many species of archaea thrive in…

The study, published this week in the journal Nature by researchers from Oregon State University and five other institutions, found that on a global scale, a…

NASA research reveals climate warming reduces ocean food supply

By comparing nearly a decade of global ocean satellite data with several records of Earth's changing climate, scientists found that whenever climate…

Researchers learn from analyses of rare tsunami earthquake

River-shelf interactions during Spring floods in the coastal Beaufort Sea

Spring floods carry 40 to more than 80% of the annual amounts of river water, suspended sediment and dissolved solids from Alaska to the coastal Beaufort Sea. In this study, river water and suspended sediment were collected from the Sagavanirktok and Kuparuk rivers during the spring Floods of 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2006. Concentrations of dissolved Cu, Fe, Pb and some other trace metals, along with DOC, generally increased by 3-to-25-fold within 3 to 7 days of onset of the melt water event due to thawing of ponds and upper soil layers….
