- The Carbon Versus Water Battle Goes Hemispherical
Pasadena - Mar 21, 2002 - When astronauts finally land on Mars, a safe bet is that they'll head for northern climes if they intend to spend much time there. That's because nearly all the available water is frozen as ice at the north pole. Planetary scientists have been aware of this for some time, but they now have a new clue why it is so.
- Exploring Lake Vostok Without Destroying It
Washington - Mar 21, 2002 - Confirming the existence of life forms and unique biological niches without contaminating the pristine waters of Lake Vostok is a difficult scientific and technical challenge with international ramifications for scientists.
- Scientists Do First DNA Field Tests In Antarctic
Newark - Mar 19, 2002 - Equipped with a portable lab kit, a generator, a small tent, and plenty of warm clothes, a team of scientists working in Antarctica's Dry Valleys have for the first time DNA fingerprinted soil microbes in the field.
- The Tools To Understanding Earth's Climate
Hobart - Mar 21, 2002 - Future rainfall trends in the Australian region and long-term changes in global climate will only be understood once scientists have developed world-wide ocean observing systems, according to the World Climate Research Programme.
- Getting Closer To The Edge Of Time
Seattle - Mar 21, 2002 - When it comes to inflation, cosmologists are pondering a future that probably would leave even Alan Greenspan scratching his head. Of course, the Federal Reserve chairman is merely concerned with economic policy and hasn't had to stare down the complexities of how the universe pumped up after the Big Bang.
- Ancient Redwoods Of The Far North
Baltimore - Mar 21, 2002 - Once upon a time, Axel Heilberg Island was a very strange place. Located within the Arctic Circle north of mainland Canada, a full 8/9ths of the way from the equator to the North Pole, the uninhabited Canadian island is far enough north to make Iceland look like a great spot for a winter getaway, and today there's not much to it beyond miles of rocks, ice, a few mosses, and many fossils.
