Sequencing sea world

Article Abstract:

The research work on the census of marine life, an international network of marine scientists that began a mission in 2000 to identify every living creature in the ocean by 2010 is presented. The expedition was unique in having taxonomists working over the microscopes side by side with the molecular biologists preparing the species for sequencing and by 2010 the census of marine life scientists expect to have bar-coded all 6,800 known species of zooplankton and potentially that many as yet undiscovered species as well.

Hot trails: To fight global warming, kiss the red-eye good-bye

Article Abstract:

The jet engines' hot exhaust, contrails act as thin cloud barriers that not only reflect sunlight but also prevent the earth's heat from escaping into space, however the effect of blocked incoming radiation tends to outweigh that of trapped heat thereby cooling the atmosphere during the day and heating the atmosphere at night. Researchers are of the opinion that a reduction of nighttime flights is needed so that it does not become a threat to global warming.
