ScienceSea level: One-third of its rise comes from melting mountain glaciers About 99 percent of the world's land ice is stored in the huge ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland, while only 1 percent is contained in glaciers. However, the meltwater of glaciers contributed almost as much to the rise in sea level in the period 2003 to 2009 as the two ice sheets: about one third. This is one of the results of an international study with the involvement of geographers from the University of Zurich. Contact: Tobias Bolch

James Cameron to be publicly honored with Scripps Nierenberg Prize Ocean frontier explorer and world-renowned filmmaker James Cameron has been named by Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego as the recipient of the 2013 Nierenberg Prize for Science in the Public Interest. Also, Scripps's capacity to probe the deep sea has been considerably boosted with a key gift of technology from Cameron, who has donated an extreme-depth unmanned undersea exploration system known as a "lander" to Scripps for future deep-sea exploration endeavors.

PLOS ONEFrog once imported for pregnancy testing brought deadly amphibian disease to US, study suggests African frogs, originally imported for early 20th century pregnancy tests, carried a deadly amphibian disease to the US, according to findings published in PLOS ONE. African Clawed Frogs have long been suspected of spreading a harmful fungus called Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. The earliest known case of the fungus was found in these frogs in their native South Africa. Now scientists have found the first evidence of the disease among introduced feral populations in the US.

mBioMicrobes capture, store, and release nitrogen to feed reef-building coral Microscopic algae that live within reef-forming corals scoop up available nitrogen, store the excess in crystal form, and slowly feed it to the coral as needed, according to a study published in mBio.

mBioCorals turn to algae for stored food when times get tough Researchers at EPFL present new evidence for the crucial role of algae in the survival of their coral hosts. Ultra-high resolution images reveal that the algae temporarily store nutrients as crystals, building up reserves for when supplies run low. Contact: Anders Meibom

Proceedings of the National Acadamy of SciencesScientists find impact of open-ocean industrial fishing within centuries of bird bones The impact of industrial fishing on coastal ecosystems has been studied for many years. But how it affects food webs in the open ocean has not been very clear. So a team of Smithsonian and Michigan State University scientists and their colleagues looked to the ancient bones of seabirds for answers, revealing some of the dramatic changes that have happened within open-ocean food webs since the onset of industrial fishing.

NASA sees the remnants of Tropical Cyclone Jamala fading Tropical Cyclone Jamala ran into some harsh atmospheric conditions on May 11 in the Southern Indian Ocean and vertical wind shear tore the storm apart. NASA's Aqua satellite captured an image of the remnants while the more powerful, more organized Tropical Cyclone Mahasen continued to strengthen to the north.

As Canada takes Arctic Council helm, experts stress north's vulnerability to spills, emergencies As Arctic Council chairmanship passes from Sweden to Canada May 15, experts say it is crucial that northern nations strengthen response capabilities to shipping-related accidents foreseen in newly-opened northern waters, as well as to more-common local emergencies such as floods, forest fires and rescue situations. And Canada needs to lead by example. Despite having the world's longest Arctic coastline and second-largest territory in the region, its far northern marine and aviation infrastructure badly lags by international comparison, experts say.

ScienceWater on moon, Earth have a common source New research finds that water inside the moon's mantle comes from the same source as water on Earth. The Moon is thought to have formed after a giant impact to a still-forming Earth 4.5 million years ago. These new findings suggest that Earth may have had water at the time of that impact, and some of that water may have been transferred to the moon.
