Researchers at the University of New Hampshire have discovered a new method to detect a bacterium that has contaminated New England oyster beds and sickened consumers who ate the contaminated shellfish. The new detection method is a significant advance in efforts to identify shellfish harboring disease-carrying strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

Researchers have identified a new source of methane for gas hydrates — ice-like substances that trap methane within the crystal structure of frozen water — in the Arctic Ocean. The findings point to a previously undiscovered, stable reservoir for methane that is “locked” away from the atmosphere, where it could impact global climate change.
Chemicals used as synthetic flame retardants that are found in common household items such as couches, carpet padding, and electronics have been found to cause metabolic and liver problems that can lead to insulin resistance, which is a major cause of obesity, according to new research from the University of New Hampshire.
Environmentalists dispirited by the Republicans’ dominance of the recent midterm elections can take heart: non-Tea Party Republicans’ views on science and environmental issues are closer to those of Independents than to Tea Party supporters.

Scientists on a seafloor mapping mission have discovered a new seamount near the Johnson Atoll in the Pacific Ocean. The summit of the seamount rises 1,100 meters from the 5,100-meter-deep ocean floor.
Climate modelers have shown that the most likely explanation for the initiation of Antarctic glaciation 34 million years ago was decreased carbon dioxide levels, contrary to a 40-year-old theory suggesting massive rearrangements of Earth’s continents caused the abrupt formation of the Antarctic ice sheet.
Tea Party Republicans are distrustful of scientists as a source of information on environmental issues, and public radio listeners are more likely to trust scientists, new survey research from the Carsey Institute has found. The research found almost two-thirds of NH residents trust scientists.
Diversity is increasing among America’s youth because of unprecedented population increases of minority children, particularly Hispanic, as well as a significant decline in the number of non-Hispanic white children, according to research from the Carsey Institute at the University of New Hampshire.
