The results of several scientific studies conducted since 1993 have confirmed a 3.2 cm sea level rise. Although this variation might appear negligible, it has in fact turned out to be twice as high as ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] -- Just before a surprise eruption of New Zealand's Ruapehu volcano in 2007, seismic tremor near its crater became tightly correlated with twice-monthly changes in ...

Could the hidden seas of icy moons occasionally boil beneath kilometers of ice? Recent modeling suggests that, given just the right orbital and geological conditions, subsurface oceans on small outer ...

While most organisms have biological clocks synchronized with the day-night cycle (circadian rhythms), marine animals in tidal areas have also developed circatidal rhythms to align with the tidal ...

ABSTRACT: Tidal flow causes high temporal variability in environmental properties that impact ecosystem dynamics. Microbes such as phytoplankton are especially susceptible to tidal advection and ...

The diel change in abundance and community diversity of the bacterioplankton assemblages within the Pacific Ocean at a fixed location in Monterey Bay, California (USA) were examined with several ...

June 20 (UPI) --New research has revealed how circadian and tidal clocks interact to govern the behavior of some animals -- like the crustacean species Scyphax ornatus, a sand-burrowing isopod native ...

In 17 patients with rapid cycling bipolar disorder, time-series analyses detected synchronies between mood cycles and three lunar cycles that modulate the amplitude of the moon’s semi-diurnal ...

A hypothesis on the process of adaptation to the tidal environment in a freshwater snail. The circatidal rhythm is not expressed in nontidal individuals under natural conditions. In the early stage of ...
