NASA Satellites Uncover Sudden Decline in Earth’s Freshwater Resources

The Earth's total amount of freshwater dropped abruptly starting in May 2014 and has remained low ever since. The shift could indicate Earth's continents have entered a persistently drier phase. An international team of scientists using observations from NASA-German satellites found evidence that Earth's total amount of freshwater dropped abruptly starting in May 2014 and

Enhancing Methane Emission Forecasts in Tidal Marshes

admin -
An International study has analyzed methane gas fluxes in over a hundred tidal wetlands and marshes in the USA. The analysis has identified key environmental factors affecting methane emissions and has allowed a larger set of standardized data on greenhouse gas emissions in those ecosystems to be produced. These data can be used to account

The Evolving Lexicon of Termites: A New Perspective

admin -
Just as many ecosystems rely on the infrastructure provided by termites, so too does the study of termites require a solid foundation. And now, a new system for termite classification has been created thanks to the effort of no less than 46 researchers from around the world. Termites have a bad reputation. Most think of

How Conventional Infrastructure Designs Can Amplify the Impact of Extreme Flooding

Photosynthesis can take place in nature even at extremely low light levels. This is the result of a study that investigated the development of Arctic microalgae at the end of the polar night. The study shows that photosynthesis in the ocean is possible under much lower light conditions, and can therefore take place at much

Unlocking the Secrets of Arctic Clouds: Researchers Dive Deep into Climate Change Dynamics

admin -
Special features of the Arctic climate, such as the strong reflection of the sun's rays off the light snow or the low position of the sun, amplify global warming in the Arctic. However, researchers are often faced with the challenge of modelling the underlying climatic processes in order to be able to provide reliable weather

Revolutionary Method Unveils Secrets of Oceanic Microbial Life

Biologists are collecting samples from Earth's oceans using SMIRC, which could be the first step in uncovering compounds that lead to next-generation antibiotics. When SMU researcher Alexander Chase was a young boy, the sheer diversity of plants in Earth's tropical rainforests fascinated him. He found himself wondering, what new species were out there, waiting to

Butterfly Vision: Revolutionary Optical Innovations Transform Camera Technology

admin -
Butterflies can see more of the world than humans, including more colors and the field oscillation direction, or polarization, of light. This special ability enables them to navigate with precision, forage for food and communicate with one another. Other species, like the mantis shrimp, can sense an even wider spectrum of light, as well as
