Species Unique To Tidal Marshes Face Threats (View Original Story)
Source: Posted: 08-01-2006 at 06:00:20
| Nonaquatic vertebrates endemic to tidal marshes are almost all found in North America, where their habitat is shrinking because of coastal development and rising sea levels, among other threats. |

| Mississippi State University researchers are using a $1.5 million federal grant to implement an innovative oil recovery process that could streamline U.S. production and help reduce the nation's dependence on foreign energy sources. |
Not Just For Eatin': Blue Crab Nano-Sensor Detects Dangers (View Original Story)
Source: Posted: 08-01-2006 at 12:00:27
| A substance found in crab shells is the key component in a nanoscale sensor system developed by researchers at the University of Maryland's A. James Clark School of Engineering. The sensor can detect minute quantities of explosives, bioagents, chemicals, and other dangerous materials in air and water, potentially leading to security and safety innovations for airports, hospitals, and other public locations. |
Food-crop Yields In Future Greenhouse-gas Conditions Lower Than Expected (View Original Story)

| Open-air field trials involving five major food crops grown under carbon-dioxide levels projected for the future are harvesting dramatically less bounty than those raised in earlier greenhouse and other enclosed test conditions -- and scientists warn that global food supplies could be at risk without changes in production strategies.
The new findings are based on on-going open-air research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and results gleaned from five other temperate-climate locations around the world. |

| A paper co-authored by CSIRO's Professor Klaus Regenauer-Lieb and published in Nature reveals new information on the strength of continents and how they can split apart. |
Underwater Robots Work Together Without Human Input (View Original Story)
Source: Posted: 08-01-2006 at 06:00:22
| This August in Monterey Bay, Calif., an entire fleet of undersea robots will for the first time work together without the aid of humans to observe the ocean. The mathematical system that allows the undersea robots to self-choreograph their movements in response to their environment might one day power other robotic teams that -- without human supervision -- could explore not just oceans, but deserts, rain forests and even other planets. |
