Fault Responsible For Haiti Quake Slices Island's TopographyWashington DC (SPX) Jan 18, 2010 A magnitude 7.0 earthquake occurred on January 12, 2010, at Port-au-Prince, Haiti, with major impact to the region and its citizens. This perspective view of the pre-quake topography of the area clearly shows the fault that is apparently responsible for the earthquake as a prominent linear landform immediately adjacent to the city. Elevation is color coded from dark green at low elevations ... read more |

Manila (AFP) Jan 20, 2010Rice production in the Philippines, the world's biggest importer of the grain, fell by more than 3.0 percent last year after a series of major storms damaged crops, the government said Wednesday. Tropical storm Ketsana and Typhoon Parma, which claimed more than 1,100 lives in October and November as they pummelled the main island of Luzon, were mainly responsible for the fall in rice output, ... more  
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Jan 20, 2010Tropical Depression 01W formed in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean yesterday and is now headed for a landfall in Vietnam. NASA satellite data shows that the system is weakening as it continues on its track through the South China Sea. The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite, managed by NASA and the Japanese Space Agency flew over Tropical Depression 01W (TD01W) on Monday ... more 
Pasadena CA (SPX) Jan 19, 2010On January 14, 2010, the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) instrument on NASA's Terra spacecraft captured this simulated natural color image of the Port-au-Prince, Haiti, area, two days after a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck the region and caused massive damage and loss of life. While ASTER's 15-meter (50-foot) resolution is not sufficient to see damag ... more |

York, UK (SPX) Jan 20, 2010Plant scientists at the University of York have published the first genetic map of the medicinal herb Artemisia annua. The map is being used to accelerate plant breeding of Artemisia and rapidly develop the species into a high-yielding crop. This development is urgently needed to help meet escalating demand for effective malaria treatments. Though preventable and treatable, malaria is a se ... more 
San Francisco CA (SPX) Jan 20, 2010Scientists have mapped the genomes for three kinds of parasitic wasps, providing a new genetic model system based on the Nasonia genus. The availability of these genome sequences will aid the analysis of complex genetic traits, such as skin color, as well as complex human diseases. Published in the Jan. 15 issue of Science, the findings may help advance our understanding of how to use thes ... more 
Washington DC (SPX) Jan 20, 2010Soybean, one of the most important global sources of protein and oil, is now the first major crop legume species with a published complete draft genome sequence. This sequence, which essentially provides a parts list of the soybean genome, will help scientists use the plant's genes to improve its characteristics. The soybean sequencing study appears as the cover story of the January 13 edition o ... more |
