Science Alert: Our climate is changing, and quickly: NASA says May 2016 was the hottest month on the planet since we started keeping records, with the Arctic in particular seeing temperatures way above what might normally be expected. "Abnormal is the new normal," said David Carlson from the World Climate Research Programme, which helped collate the data.

BillMoyers.com: Scientists know how to cure many of the ills plaguing ocean waters farther than 200 nautical miles from shore, beyond the jurisdiction of nations. Restricting fishing, shipping and deep seabed mining in biodiversity hot spots would go a long way toward restoring ocean health, they say. (Photo by Stephen Coates/AFP/Getty Images) When New England fishers complained of working harder and harder to catch fewer and fewer fish, Spencer Baird assembled a scientific team to investigate. Though a fishery...
Ocean Organisms Regulate Earths Temperature
2016-05-19 20:26:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Researchers from the University of East Anglia (UEA) have found miniscule organisms in the worlds seas help to regulate the Earths temperature. Scientists found that a bacterial group, named Pelagibacterales, are keeping the atmosphere around the Earth stable. The research was published in journal Nature Microbiology on Monday. The project was led by Prof Steve Giovannoni and Dr Jing Sun at Oregon State University, in collaboration with researchers from UEA among others. They showed that...

Rock, Drill Bit, Microwave: Paul Woskov Explores A New Path Through The Earth's Crust

Paul Woskov is collecting rocks. A growing number of granite and basalt squares perch on cabinet tops and shelves around his office, each a record of his latest experiment in drilling. Some show clean circles that fully penetrate the rock, while others hold glassy craters.By Paul Rivenberg, MIT News Office
