- Design the first map of active faults in the Gibraltar Arc to prevent earthquakes
02-05-2008 · EurekAlert!
Researchers from the University of Granada characterised the physical and mechanical properties of the Earth's crust of this area of intense seismic activity. The African and Eurasian plates get about 4 mm closer every year. The study related the temperature of the Earth's crust to its seismic activity, determining that the probability of earthquakes is significantly lower in areas of higher temperature. Results were published in the Journal of Geophysical Research and Tectonics.

- Researchers at IRB Barcelona discover one of the mechanisms that prevents the spread of colon cancer
09-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
The first step in the development of colon cancer is the formation of benign tumors, called adenomas, in the intestine. Over time, these tumors may progress to produce colon cancer if they undergo a series of mutations and genetic alterations. Researchers at IRB Barcelona under the direction of Eduard Batlle, head of IRB Barcelona's Oncology Program, have discovered a new mechanism by which the benign tumor cells receive instructions to grow in confined compartments, and no to invade other areas of the tissue.

Why do some forest fires spread rapidly over large areas, destroying and damaging many homes, while others are contained with minimal damage? New research shows a major factor is whether homes are fireproofed. There is more flammable material in a house per square yard than in a forest.

- Little creatures, big blooms
02-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
The San Francisco area is one of the most biologically productive areas in US waters. But with global warming, says Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council grantee Vera Pospelova, those waters are going to change. Pospelova studies sedimentary records of dinoflagellates -- plankton creatures, eaten by fish, that depend on the sun for their survival. There are dozens of species of these creatures, but the ones that produce toxic blooms concern her the most.
