Oil from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill acted as a catalyst for plankton and other surface materials to clump together and fall to the sea floor in a massive sedimentation event that researchers are calling a "dirty blizzard." http://phys.org/news282556534.html Space & Earth Fri, 15 Mar 2013 08:55:41 EST news282556534 The putative remains of Carin Göring, wife of Nazi leader Herman Göring, were found in 1991 at a site close to where she had been buried. In a recently published article, Maria Allen, professor of forensic genetics at Uppsala University, Sweden, and her associates present evidence supporting that it is Carin Göring's remains that have been identified. http://phys.org/news275309694.html Other Sciences Fri, 21 Dec 2012 10:55:06 EST news275309694 In an effort to identify the thousands of John/Jane Doe cold cases in the United States, a Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researcher and a team of international collaborators have found a multidisciplinary approach to identifying the remains of missing persons. http://phys.org/news269101326.html Chemistry Wed, 10 Oct 2012 15:22:19 EST news269101326 Investigators reporting in the Cell Press journal Trends in Genetics say that new analytical techniques are changing long-held, simplistic views about the evolutionary history of humans in Europe. Their findings indicate that many cultural, climatic, and demographic events have shaped genetic variation among modern-day European populations and that the variety of those mechanisms is more diverse than previously thought. http://phys.org/news264159758.html Biology Tue, 14 Aug 2012 12:00:01 EST news264159758 At least half a dozen Sierra Nevada red foxes, a species once believed to have been nearly wiped out in the 1920s, roam the high country wilderness south of Yosemite, U.S. Forest Service biologists said Thursday. http://phys.org/news236271738.html Biology Mon, 26 Sep 2011 17:40:01 EST news236271738 Finnish research center VTT has examined one of five bottles of beer salvaged last summer by divers from the wreck of a ship that sank an estimated 170 years ago in the Aland Islands. http://phys.org/news228416126.html Other Sciences Mon, 27 Jun 2011 17:56:17 EST news228416126 Animals that seem identical may belong to completely different species. This is the conclusion of researchers at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, who have used DNA analyses to discover that one of our most common segmented worms is actually two types of worm. The result is one of many suggesting that the variety of species on the earth could be considerably larger than we thought. http://phys.org/news159631527.html Biology Wed, 22 Apr 2009 15:13:39 EST news159631527
