(AP) -- Bernice and Jerry Angely like to show visitors the singed T-shirt a friend was wearing when their water well exploded and shot flames 30 feet high. http://www.physorg.com/news176354190.html Space & Earth Mon, 02 Nov 2009 03:17:21 EST news176354190 (PhysOrg.com) -- This image from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows channels to the southeast of Hale crater on southern Mars. Taken by the orbiter's High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera, this view covers an area about 3 kilometers (2 miles) wide. http://www.physorg.com/news175971479.html Space & Earth Wed, 28 Oct 2009 18:10:01 EST news175971479 One small step for mankind is now a leap for averting natural and man-made disasters on earth. http://www.physorg.com/news175441355.html Space & Earth Thu, 22 Oct 2009 14:43:13 EST news175441355 Oxygen deficiency in the Baltic Sea has never been greater than it is now. But it is not an effect of climate change but rather of increased inputs of nutrients and fertilisers. This is the finding of researchers at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, who have analysed the ocean climate of the Baltic Sea since the 16th century. http://www.physorg.com/news174660601.html Space & Earth Tue, 13 Oct 2009 13:50:48 EST news174660601 When society jumps on a bandwagon, even for a good cause, there may be unintended consequences. The unintended consequence of crop-based biofuels may be the loss of wildlife habitat, particularly that of the birds who call this country's grasslands home, say researchers from Michigan Technological University and The Nature Conservancy. http://www.physorg.com/news173595036.html Biology Thu, 01 Oct 2009 06:10:01 EST news173595036 (AP) -- David Overbey is no scientist, but he says a person doesn't have to be to see how much the Illinois River has improved in recent years. http://www.physorg.com/news172686674.html Space & Earth Sun, 20 Sep 2009 21:40:01 EST news172686674 (PhysOrg.com) -- The ocean of stormwater that flows off of the sun-baked urban landscape is packing heat, and trout are starting to feel it. http://www.physorg.com/news171816890.html Space & Earth Thu, 10 Sep 2009 15:55:41 EST news171816890 Australia's Great Barrier Reef is in serious jeopardy as global warming and chemical runoff threaten to kill marine species and cause serious outbreaks of disease, a report warned Wednesday. http://www.physorg.com/news171102349.html Space & Earth Wed, 02 Sep 2009 11:30:01 EST news171102349 The Baltic Sea winter climate has changed more in the last 500 years than previously thought. Research at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, shows that our part of the world has experienced periods of both milder and colder winters, and the transitions between these climate types seem to have been abrupt. http://www.physorg.com/news169458454.html Space & Earth Fri, 14 Aug 2009 09:10:01 EST news169458454 Grassed waterways are placed in agricultural fields where runoff water tends to concentrate because they can substantially reduce soil erosion. Mapping techniques that help identify where erosion channels will likely form could help farmers and conservation professionals do a better job of designing and locating grassed waterways in agricultural fields. http://www.physorg.com/news169391574.html Space & Earth Thu, 13 Aug 2009 14:13:17 EST news169391574 The nation's cleanest beachwaters are along the upper half of the Atlantic seaboard, in Virginia, Delaware and New Hampshire, a national environmental group said Wednesday. http://www.physorg.com/news168198589.html Space & Earth Thu, 30 Jul 2009 19:10:01 EST news168198589 (AP) -- A clean water expert at Auburn University hopes a new project that enlists middle and high school students will help reduce farm runoff that is a growing pollution threat to the Gulf of Mexico. http://www.physorg.com/news158562652.html Space & Earth Fri, 10 Apr 2009 06:11:24 EST news158562652 (PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers have developed a new technique using sensors to constantly monitor the health of bacteria critical to wastewater treatment facilities and have verified a theory that copper is vital to the proper functioning of a key enzyme in the bacteria. http://www.physorg.com/news152973821.html Biology Wed, 04 Feb 2009 12:44:07 EST news152973821 Researchers at UC Riverside have proposed a cost-effective alternative to capture stormwater runoff that could help communities suffering water shortages and reduce the amount of pollution flowing into ecologically sensitive bodies of water. http://www.physorg.com/news145547001.html Other Sciences Mon, 10 Nov 2008 13:43:21 EST news145547001
