Coral reefs, whose decline was earlier linked with coastal pollution, global warming and sunscreen, are majorly affected by the chemicals released from seaweed.
A massive algae bloom on the waters of Lake Erie in the U.S. is believed to pose a significant threat to aquatic life forms in the lake.
Al Gore links several environmental disasters, including the Great Lakes' algae problem, to climate change.
U.S. stocks fell on Thursday after three days of gains as earnings from JPMorgan and soft economic data from China reinforced worries about a slowing global economy.
Concerned about voter angst over California's finances, lawmakers say they may need to overhaul a ballot measure that would provide $11.1 billion for a slew of long-awaited water projects.
Though human beings don't have sixth sense and work with only five senses, the most desired sixth sense was present in our fish-like ancestors who lived 500 million years ago.
It was thought that the 45-foot-long Snaggle-toothed ichthyosaur, an air-breathing sea monster larger than a school bus, was the king in the world of the prehistoric oceans But now Mount Holyoke College paleontologist Mark McMenamin believes that there was an even larger and more cunning sea monster - a huge Kraken or something like it. The sea monster, which preyed on ichthyosaurs, roamed the Triassic Seas.
Geologists will drill down more than 3,000 meters of ice to reach a sub-glacial lake in western Antarctic that is probably a million years old, in search of new species and clues about climate change.
The first source of water on Earth has long been debated. But now astronomers, using the Herschel Space Telescope, believe the water in the Earth's oceans could have from comets.
At least one town in Alabama has warned undocumented immigrants that their water supply will be cut off if they cannot prove they are U.S. citizens.
Yes, Virginia, Venus does have an ozone layer -- and the finding could help astronomers better target their search for life on other planets.
TEPCO noted the passing of the male employee in his 50s was not necessarily linked to radiation leaks.
The first comet containing water similar to Earth's oceans has been discovered by a team of astronomers using the European Space Agency's Herschel Space Observatory.
A small oddball comet called Hartley 2, which is known for spewing water, has ice that contains the same chemical composition as Earth's oceans. It is the first time that ocean water has been detected in comets, providing new proof supporting a theory that water-rich comets were responsible for delivering a significant portion of the planet's oceans.
The Earth's oceans may have originated from comets, a once-outlandish notion that got further support Wednesday when astronomers reported on ocean-like water in one comet.
