 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.
