Cable laid for new deep-sea observatory

04-04-2007 · EurekAlert!

On April 1, 2007 researchers completed an important step in constructing the first deep-sea cabled observatory in the continental United States. In a multi-institution effort managed by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) and funded by the National Science Foundation, 52 kilometers (32 miles) of cable were laid along the seafloor of Monterey Bay.

Why a Rocky Mountain high?
06-24-2007 · EurekAlert!
A University of Utah study shows how various regions of North America are kept afloat by heat within Earth's rocky crust, and how much of the continent would sink beneath sea level if not for heat that makes rock buoyant. Of coastal cities, New York City would sit 1,427 feet under the Atlantic, Boston would be 1,823 feet deep, Miami would reside 2,410 feet undersea and Los Angeles would rest 3,756 feet beneath the Pacific.

Synthesis of natural molecule could lead to better anti-cancer drugs
01-23-2008 · EurekAlert!
In early 2007 a marine chemist reported in the Journal of Natural Products that a new natural compound derived from an uncommon deep-sea sponge was extremely effective at inhibiting cancer cell growth. Karl Scheidt, a Northwestern University synthetic chemist, made the molecule in the lab and discovered the reported structure was incorrect. He then determined the real structure of neopeltolide, information that will help researchers learn how the new compound works and possibly lead to new, more-effective anti-cancer drugs.
