- 'Hot spots' the key to controlling European carp in Australia
11-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
The ongoing drought in Australia is having at least one positive spin-off -- fewer carp are being distributed through inland waterways. NSW Department of Primary Industries' fisheries researchers at Narrandera are identifying carp 'hot spots' in conjunction with the Invasive Animals Cooperative Research Centre. Known as the vermin of inland waterways, carp became a major pest in Australia in the 1970s and now make up 80 to 90 percent of the fish in inland NSW.

- Towards a better understanding of hot spot volcanism
01-31-2008 · EurekAlert!
Researchers from the IRD and the University of Chile investigated the phenomena that led to the recent activity of seven hot spots located in the central Pacific. Numerical mechanical models showed that variations in movement of the Pacific plate, generating shearing stresses within it, could facilitate the rise of magma towards the surface. This discovery, if corroborated, would indicate that the formation of certain hot spots depended on the movement of the tectonic plates.
