Toxicity of drugs released into waterways partly depends on acidity, study shows

A study by researchers from the Universities of Tübingen and Athens has found that the toxicity of chemicals in lakes and rivers may vary by several orders of magnitude depending on the water's acidity. Professor Heinz Köhler ...

Plate tectonics in the Pacific and Atlantic during the Cretaceous period shaped the Caribbean region

Earthquakes and volcanism occur as a result of plate tectonics. The movement of tectonic plates themselves is largely driven by the process known as subduction. The question of how new active subduction zones come into being, ...
