The study also identifies a new variety of carophytes from the Clavator genus (in particular, Clavator ampul...

Date Time Researchers find biogeographical affinity in Cretaceous flora from two islands of old Tethys Ocean Scanning electronic microscope images of gyrogonites of the new species Mesochara dobrogeica (above) and the utricles of the new Clavator ampullaceus var. atibracteatus variety (below) found in the region of Dobrogea (Romania). Palaeographic map of Tethys Ocean during Lower Cretaceous (Berriasian, 140 million years) with the distribution of some species of charophytes found for the first time in the paleo-island of Hateg (Romania). A study published in Cretaceous Research expands the p...

Date Time TRANSMOW campaign to analyse circulation of Mediterranean outflow waters with new geochemical tracers The campaign will start at the harbour of Barcelona on April 28, in the oceanographic research vesselHespérides. TRANSMOW will study the Mediterranean outflow waters towards the Atlantic Ocean. The campaign will apply the analysis of innovative chemical tracers (isotopes of neodymium and rare-earth elements). The new methodology will be used thanks to the dual support infrastructure for research LIRA and PANTHALASSA. Finding the signature of past climate transitions in the Mediterr...

While earlier editions of the Frontiers of Knowledge Awards have distinguished contributions to climate change science fro...

Does the law of thermal expansion apply to sea water? >> again, i do not have any kind of expertise or even much layman's study of the ocean dynamics and the climate change issues. >> so, the question was does the law of thermal expansion apply to sea water. her response was, again, i do not have any kind of expertise or even layman's study of the ocean's dynamic and the climate. this is for trump's -- one of his top environmental advisers. what does this say about the president's leadership? >> it says that the president has no interest whatsoever in employing experts of any kind. even meetin...
