Massive Japan Quake Even Triggered Space Waves In Upper Atmosphere

The powerful earthquake that struck off the coast of Tohoku in Japan in March not only shook the Earth and unleashed a catastrophic tsunami, but also rattled the highest layer of the atmosphere, 350km above the planet, scientists find. This research could lead to a new type of early warning system for devastating tsunamis and earthquakes.

Ghana’s Ongoing Battle Against Coastal erosion

According to estimates, the ocean claims 1.5 to 2 metres of the 539- kilometres Ghana coastline annually; with the most risky coastal areas, Ada Foah and the Eastern parts of Keta, recording 4 metres. Ghana’s Government decided on a costly and controversial project: the building of a 68 million euros, 30 kms “Ada Defense Sea Wall” to “salvage the people in the area from the ravages of the sea…”

Better Desalination Technology, Key to Solving World’s Water Shortage

With 1.8 billion people predicted to live in areas of extreme water scarcity by 2025, desalination, the removal of salt from water, is increasingly being proposed as a solution, but officials and experts need to commit to overcoming obstacles that make the process expensive, unsustainable and inefficient, a Yale University study found.

Japan Tsunami Broke Huge Icebergs Off Antarctica

The massive March 11 Japan earthquake and its ensuing Tohoku tsunami, were so powerful that they broke off huge icebergs thousands of miles away on the coast of Antarctica. Researchers witnessed and recorded, for the first time, evidence of an ice mass separation triggered by a tsunami; until this discovery they could only speculate that was possible.

What was natural in the coastal oceans?

Humans transformed Western Atlantic coastal marine ecosystems before modern ecological investigations began. The universal pattern of losses demonstrates that no coastal ecosystem is pristine and few wild fisheries are sustainable along the entire Western Atlantic coast.

Wild Boar Deaths linked to Green Algae: Confirmed

First tests on wild boars washed up on Brittany’s beaches, showed that all but one, had hydrogen sulphide gas (emitted by rotting green algae) in their lungs. Test results on the remaining boars haven’t been released yet.
