Long Island coast seen as high risk for disaster says geologists
Geologists warn more than half of Long Island's 72 mile shore is high risk due to low elevation and rising sea levels. Dr Orrin Pilkey Jr and Dr Larry McCormick of Southampton College note coastal development ignores ocean rise with hurricane risk, citing the 1933 South Shore hurricane casualties.

Murky Otisco Lake water mostly limestone crystals found
Syracuse chemist David L. Johnson using an electron microscope found that the murkiness in Otisco Lake water mainly comes from dissolved calcium carbonate crystals rather than toxic waste. The study, part of an ongoing lake quality project, analyzed thousands of particles to trace their sources from tributaries, the causeway, and resuspension, with acidification suggested during turbidity spikes.

Orphaned embryos raise ethical questions in Australia
The death of two parents leaves frozen embryos in Australia in a legal and moral limbo. Experts doubt clear guidelines exist for handling embryos if couples divorce, die, or cannot care for them. Debate centers on whether fetuses have rights, when research is permissible, and who decides their fate.
