Process waters from the seafood industry contain valuable nutrients, that could be used in food or aquaculture feed. But the process waters are treated as waste. Researchers now show the potential of recycling these nutrients back into the food chain.

Insect repellents containing picaridin can be lethal to salamanders. So reports a new study published today in Biology Letters that investigated how exposure to two common insect repellents influenced the survival of aquatic salamander and mosquito larvae.

Research by the University of Liverpool could help scientists unlock the full potential of new clean energy technologies.

The Taklamakan Desert, one of the major sources of background Asian dust, is situated in the Tarim Basin, with the Tianshan Mountains in the north, Pamir Plateau in the west, and Kunlun Mountains in the south. Dunhuang (40°00？N, 94°30？E; 1146 m above sea level) is located in the east of the Taklamakan Desert, China. The area is significant for studying the initial state of Asian dust particle transportation, which is mainly influenced by westerly winds.

Scientists at Indiana University found high levels of a previously unsuspected pollutant in homes, in an electronic waste recycling facility and in the natural environment. People are likely to be exposed to this pollutant by breathing contaminated dust or through skin contact.

A large-scale, long-term experiment on kelp forests off Southern California brings new insight to how the biodiversity of coastal ecosystems could be impacted over time as a changing climate potentially increases the frequency of ocean storms.

As Halloween revelers prepare to feast on chocolate, a new study from an international team of researchers, including the University of British Columbia, is pushing back the origins of the delicious sweet treat.

Ocean Networks Canada (ONC), an initiative of the University of Victoria, has installed the final set of underwater earthquake early warning sensors off the west coast of Canada that will be part of a system alerting authorities to take preventative and protective measures for public safety.

This summer and fall, NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries is teaming up with Ocean Exploration Trust to explore the marine ecosystems of the West Coast and Hawai‘i.

With the use of unmanned systems, NOAA is reducing operational costs and manpower requirements, while increasing the type and quality of data that NOAA collects. I
