Paired earthquakes separated in time and space
01-30-2008 · EurekAlert!Earthquakes occurring at the edges of tectonic plates can trigger events at a distance and much later in time, according to a team of researchers reporting in today's (Jan. 31) issue of Nature. These doublet earthquakes may hold an underestimated hazard, but may also shed light on earthquake dynamics.

- The area of influence of earthquakes could be larger than is currently thought
11-21-2006 · EurekAlert!
Dr Бlvaro Corral, a UAB Department of Physics researcher, studies the relationships between the time and place of earthquake occurrences using statistical physics methods. By analysing data on the distance between consecutive earthquakes, Dr Corral has concluded that the area of influence of seismic activity could be larger than was thought until now.

- The next great earthquake
03-22-2007 · EurekAlert!
The 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake and resulting tsunami are now infamous for the damage they caused, but at the time many scientists believed this area was unlikely to create a quake of such magnitude. In the March 23 issue of the journal Science, a geophysicist from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute urges the public and policy makers to consider all subduction-type tectonic boundaries to be "locked, loaded and dangerous."

- Home, Home On The Range: How Much Space Does An Animal Really Need?
10-05-2006 · ScienceDaily
Instead of wandering around aimlessly, most animals tend to stay in a certain area -- known as their home range. Understanding an animal's home range has been a central focus of ecological research since Darwin's time. But while explaining why different sized species need different amounts of space is relatively easy, a study from the October issue of the American Naturalist tackles a much more complex question: What determines differences in home range size among individuals of one species?

- Astronomers find first ever gamma ray clock
11-27-2006 · EurekAlert!
Astronomers using the H.E.S.S. telescopes have discovered the first ever modulated signal from space in Very High Energy Gamma Rays -- the most energetic such signal ever observed. Regular signals from space have been known since the 1960s, when the first radio pulsar (nicknamed Little Green Men-1 for its regular nature) was discovered. This is the first time a signal has been seen at such high energies -- 100,000 times higher than previously known.

02-13-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new class of computational methods have been developed to construct distributions of where such monitored organisms are most likely to be found in space and time using this data, and are much more accurate than previous methods when dealing with large sets of data.

- Now playing -- Cell migration LIVE!
06-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
Johns Hopkins researchers have found a way to directly observe cell migration -- in real time and in living tissue. In a report in the June 5 issue of Developmental Cell, the scientists say their advance could lead to strategies for controlling both normal growth and the spread of cancer, processes that depend on the programmed, organized movement of cells across space

- Edge-on!
08-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
As Uranus coasts through a brief window of time when its rings are edge-on to Earth -- a view of the planet we get only once every 42 years -- astronomers peering at the rings with ESO's Very Large Telescope and other space or ground-based telescopes are getting an unprecedented view of the fine dust in the system, free from the glare of the bright rocky rings. They may even find a new moon or two.
