Public Release: 15-Apr-2013
Cyclone Imelda's eye opens and closes for NASA's Aqua satellite Cyclone Imelda reached hurricane strength on April 14 and its eye "opened" and became apparent on visible imagery on imagery from NASA's Aqua satellite. By April 15, the eye had "closed" and become filled in with clouds.

 Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesSurprising findings on hydrogen production in green algae New research results from Uppsala University, Sweden, instil hope of efficient hydrogen production with green algae being possible in the future, despite the prevailing skepticism based on previous research. The study, which is published today in the esteemed journal PNAS, changes the view on the ability of green algae -- which is good news.

Nature Climate ChangeCutting specific pollutants would slow sea level rise With coastal areas bracing for rising sea levels, new research indicates that cutting emissions of certain pollutants can greatly slow down sea level rise. Reductions in the four pollutants that cycle comparatively quickly through the atmosphere could forestall the rate of sea level rise by roughly 25 to 50 percent.

PLOS ONEUCSB scientists find resilience in shelled plants exposed to ocean acidification Marine scientists have long understood the detrimental effect of fossil fuel emissions on marine ecosystems. But a group led by a UC Santa Barbara professor has found a point of resilience in a microscopic shelled plant with a massive environmental impact, which suggests the future of ocean life may not be so bleak.

NASA satellite imagery shows Cyclone Imelda one-sided An upper-level low pressure system is sapping the cloud and thunderstorm development on the western side of Cyclone Victoria in the Southern Indian Ocean. New NASA satellite imagery showed that the bulk of rainfall was located east of the storm's center.

NASA's TRMM Satellite sees Cyclone Victoria being blown apart Tropical Cyclone Victoria is now a remnant low pressure area in the Southern Indian Ocean after running into strong wind shear that has been tearing the storm apart. When NASA's TRMM satellite passed over the storm on April 12, it saw limited areas with moderate rainfall pushed far from the center of circulation.

NASA satellite image sees Cyclone Victoria looking like a 'J' from space When NASA's Aqua satellite flew over Cyclone Victoria in the Southern Indian Ocean it captured a visible image of the storm and it appeared to look like the letter "J." A band of thunderstorms wrapping into the center from the east of low-level center of circulation extended north, creating the appearance of the letter.

Cyclone Imelda turned the corner on NASA satellite imagery An area of low pressure moving toward Cyclone Imelda from the west has turned the storm to the south from its westward track, as NASA's Aqua satellite passed overhead and captured a visible and an infrared image of the powerful storm that showed the effects of wind shear.

Northeastern NaturalistGoosefish capture small puffins over deep water of Northwest Atlantic A recent study has shown that bottom-dwelling goosefish, also known as monkfish, prey on dovekies, a small Arctic seabird and the smallest member of the puffin family. To understand how this deep-water fish finds a shallow-feeding bird in offshore waters, researchers looked at when, where, and how these animals were most likely to be in the same place at the same time.

Genome BiologyScientists decode genome of painted turtle, revealing clues to extraordinary adaptations A UCLA scientist and other researchers who have just sequenced the first turtle genome uncovered clues about how people can benefit from the shelled creatures' remarkable longevity and ability to survive long stretches without oxygen. Understanding the natural mechanisms turtles use to protect the heart and brain from oxygen deprivation may one day improve treatments for heart attack or stroke. Lead author UCLA Professor Brad Shaffer collaborated with Washington University's Genome Institute and 58 co-authors. Contact: Alison Hewitt

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesExtreme algae blooms: The new normal? A 2011 record-breaking algae bloom in Lake Erie was triggered by long-term agricultural practices coupled with extreme precipitation, followed by weak lake circulation and warm temperatures, scientists have discovered.

Research enables fishermen to harvest lucrative shellfish on Georges Bank New scientific understanding of toxic algal blooms on Georges Bank, along with an at-sea and dockside testing protocol, has allowed fishermen to harvest ocean quahogs and surf clams in these offshore waters for the first time in more than two decades. The Georges Bank surf clam and ocean quahog fishery has an estimated annual value of $10-15 million.

PLOS ONEGreat white sharks Captain Chris Fallows from Apex Expeditions collaborated with University of Miami scientists Dr. Neil Hammerschlag and Austin Gallagher, to explore the behaviors of Great white sharks scavenging on dead whales in South Africa. The team documented as many as 40 different sharks scavenging on a carcass over the course of a single day, revealing unique social interactions among sharks.

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesNot slippery when wet: Geckos adhere to surfaces submerged underwater Geckos are known for their sticky adhesive toes that allow them to stick to, climb on, and run along surfaces in any orientation -- even upside down! But until recently, it was not well understood how geckos kept their sticking ability even on wet surfaces, as are common in the tropical regions in which most geckos live.
