- Climate change has surprising effect on endangered naked carp
12-19-2006 · EurekAlert!
Forthcoming in the January/February 2007 issue of Physiological and Biochemical Zoology, a groundbreaking study reveals an unanticipated way freshwater fish may respond to water diversion and climate change. Endangered naked carp migrate annually between freshwater rivers, where they spawn, and a lake in Western China, where they feed and grow. However, Lake Qinghai is drying up and becoming increasingly more saline -- leading to surprising adjustments to the carps' metabolic rate.

- Researchers plumb mysteries of Antarctic Mountains
07-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
The 3,000-kilometer-long Transantarctic Mountains are a dominant feature of the Antarctic continent, yet up to now scientists have been unable to adequately explain how they formed. In a new study, geologists report that the mountains appear to be the remnant edge of a gigantic high plateau that began stretching and thinning some 105 million years ago, leaving the peaks curving along the edge of a great plain. This study revolutionizes thinking about Antarctica’s evolution.

- NASA Developing New Heat Shield For Orion Spacecraft
10-07-2006 · ScienceDaily
NASA's new spaceship of the future must endure searing temperatures capable of melting iron, steel or chromium as the spacecraft streaks into the Earth's atmosphere on the way back from the moon. Faster than the fastest bullet, the spaceship -- called the Orion -- will enter Earth's atmosphere at 6.8 miles (11 kilometers) per second, generating surface temperatures equivalent to more than 4,800 degrees Fahrenheit (2,649 degrees Celsius).

- Return to Europa: A closer look is possible
12-13-2007 · EurekAlert!
New research brings scientists closer to exploring the ice-covered ocean of Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. New methods in measuring gravity and magnetic fields, new radar sounding techniques, new technology being field tested in Antarctica, and findings of lower radiation levels and the presence of carbon dioxide (a key ingredient for life) on Europa make the moon a tantalizing prospect for exploration, as scientists explain at the 2007 meeting of the American Geophysical Union.
