New study by WHOI scientists provides baseline measurements of carbon in Arctic Ocean - (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) Scientists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution have conducted a new study to measure levels of carbon at various depths in the Arctic Ocean. The study, recently published in the journal Biogeosciences, provides data that will help researchers better understand the Arctic Ocean's carbon cycle -- the pathway through which carbon enters and is used by the marine ecosystem.... Researchers aim to assemble the tree of life for all 2 million named species - (National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent)) A new initiative aims to build a tree of life that brings together everything scientists know about how living things are related, from the tiniest bacteria to the tallest tree. Scientists have been building evolutionary trees for more than 150 years. But despite significant progress, there is still no central place where researchers can browse and download the entire tree. Now, a team of researchers aims to make that a reality.... Toxic mercury, accumulating in the Arctic, springs from a hidden source - (Harvard University) Environmental scientists at Harvard have discovered that the Arctic accumulation of mercury, a toxic element, is caused by both atmospheric forces and the flow of circumpolar rivers that carry the element north into the Arctic Ocean. While the atmospheric source was previously recognized, it now appears that twice as much mercury actually comes from the rivers. The revelation implies that concentrations of the toxin may further increase as climate change continues to modify the region's hydrological cycle and release mercury from warming Arctic soils.... Richer parasite diversity leads to healthier frogs, says University of Colorado study - (University of Colorado at Boulder) Increases in the diversity of parasites that attack amphibians cause a decrease in the infection success rate of virulent parasites, including one that causes malformed limbs and premature death, says a new University of Colorado Boulder study.... How plants chill out - (University of Bristol) Plants elongate their stems when grown at high temperature to facilitate the cooling of their leaves, according to new research from the University of Bristol published today in Current Biology. Understanding why plants alter their architecture in response to heat is important as increasing global temperatures pose a threat to future food production.... Modern dog breeds genetically disconnected from ancient ancestors - (Durham University) Cross-breeding of dogs over thousands of years has made it extremely difficult to trace the ancient genetic roots of today's pets, according to a new study led by Durham University.... Squid ink from Jurassic period identical to modern squid ink, U.Va. study shows - (University of Virginia) An international team of researchers, including a University of Virginia professor, has found that two ink sacs from 160-million-year-old giant squid fossils discovered 2 years ago in England contain the pigment melanin, and that it is essentially identical to the melanin found in the ink sacs of modern-day squid.... Latest Southern Ocean research shows continuing deep ocean change - (CSIRO Australia) New research by teams of Australian and US scientists has found there has been a massive reduction in the amount of Antarctic Bottom Water found off the coast of Antarctica.... Earth's water cycle intensifying with atmospheric warming - (CSIRO Australia) A clear change in salinity has been detected in the world's oceans, signaling shifts and an acceleration in the global rainfall and evaporation cycle.... Pollution teams with thunderclouds to warm atmosphere - (DOE/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory) Pollution is warming the atmosphere through summer thunderstorm clouds, according to a computational study published May 10 in Geophysical Research Letters. How much the warming effect of these clouds offsets the cooling that other clouds provide is not yet clear. To find out, researchers need to incorporate this new-found warming into global climate models.... May GSA Bulletin postings take global geology tour - (Geological Society of America) GSA Bulletin papers posted online 3-18 May 2012 cover a variety of locations: the Coast Range basalt province, southwest Washington State, USA; the Faroe Islands of the northeast Atlantic margin; Wairarapa fault, North Island, New Zealand; the eastern Mediterranean Sea offshore of southern Crete; the southern central Andes of Argentina; the Adriatic Carbonate Platform of southwest Slovenia; the Atacama Desert, Chile; Questa caldera, northern New Mexico, USA; the Norwegian Caledonides; and Lake Tahoe, USA.... Stanford scientists document fragile land-sea ecological chain - (Stanford University) Intricate, often invisible chains of life are threatened with extinction around the world. A new study quantifies one of the longest such chains ever documented.... Finding fingerprints in sea level rise - (Harvard University) As described in a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, graduate students Eric Morrow and Carling Hay demonstrate the use of a statistical tool called a Kalman smoother to identify "sea level fingerprints" -- tell-tale variations in sea level rise -- in a synthetic data set. Using those fingerprints, scientists can determine where glacial melting is occurring.... DNA barcoding verified the discovery of a highly disconnected crane fly species - (Pensoft Publishers) Finnish and Russian entomologists have discovered a new crane fly species on the Eurasian continent. The new species, Tipula recondita, has been documented in both Finnish Lapland and the Russian Far East in two apparently disconnected populations. The description was published in the open-access journal ZooKeys.... Geosphere introduces a new special issue theme - (Geological Society of America) Geosphere articles posted May 17 include an introduction to the new theme; a multifaceted study of the formation and transport of ancient oceanic rocks now found in southeastern Yukon, Canada; a new technique to help find the initial age of a multiply reactivated fault; and bathymetry studies of unusual flat-topped seafloor mounds beneath the Ross Sea that the authors believe are of volcanic origin, erupted during a geomagnetic reversal and under a grounded ice sheet.... Visualizing the imprints of past and present Earth dynamics - (Geological Society of America) New Lithosphere articles posted online May 16, 2012, report on (1) seismic anisotropy measured beneath 14 broadband stations in southeastern India; why geoscientists should persist in their efforts to reach and study such spectacular sub-sea geologic features as the Mariana Trench (recently explored by film director James Cameron) and how "land geologists" can help this effort by studying on-land equivalents like ophiolites; and (3) pressures and melting temperatures of sediments deeply buried in Earth's mantle.... UF researchers name new extinct giant turtle found near world's largest snake - (University of Florida) University of Florida researchers have described a new extinct giant turtle species from the same Colombian mine where they discovered Titanoboa -- and one of the only animals the world's largest snake could not have eaten.... Climate engineering report ranked among top government priorities by Copenhagen Consensus Center - (University of Texas at Austin) The effect of global warming could potentially be ameliorated by engineering ways to reflect more sunlight back into space, according to a report by a professor at the University of Texas at Austin.The report, by Professor J. Eric Bickel and Hudson Institute Fellow Lee Lane, was selected by a panel of international experts as one of 16 areas of research that governments and philanthropists should prioritize to respond to the world's most pressing challenges.... Germany's energy transition: 1 year later - (German Center for Research and Innovation) After the Fukushima nuclear explosions, Germany responded to the heightened international focus on energy procurement by returning to a fast-paced nuclear phase-out program.
