As NASA's Earth Observatory Web site describes: "Each year, the North Atlantic Ocean announces springtime by producing 'blooms' large enough to be seen from space." While scientists have had satellite images of these phytoplankton blooms for years, researchers can now detect biofluorescence from these microscopic organisms, with important implications for monitoring the environment. The Web site...

The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University is a research and education cooperative of some 120 PhD level researchers and several dozen graduate students, all dedicated to uncovering the origin, evolution, and future of the natural world. The organization operates its own federally funded research ship, and studies everything from polar science to atmospheric processes. From the...

From the Genetic Science Learning Center at the University of Utah comes this collection of educational resources about the use of models in scientific research and communication. These resources, which include illustrated essays, videos, and interactive activities, help learners understand how scientists can use models to understand natural phenomena and create public policy. Science instructors...

Scientists at the 30th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference held March 15-19, 1999 in Houston, Texas, have presented support for the theory that the "bulk of the Moon was ripped away from the early Earth when an object the size of Mars collided with the Earth." Analysis of data collected from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Lunar Prospector spacecraft has supported...
