uOttawa Study Shows Widespread Retreat and Loss of Marine-Terminating Glaciers in the Northern Hemisphere
Two researchers from the University of Ottawa are the first to map out all the glaciers that end in the ocean in the Northern Hemisphere and provide a measure of their rate of change over the last 20 years.
Towards Greener Smart Cities With Machine Learning-Based “Sleep Schedules”
The concept of smart cities is founded on sophisticated cellular networks that would not only connect humans in the future but also humans to other smart devices.
Pioneering Research Forecasts Climate Change Set to Send Costs of Flooding Soaring
The University of Bristol-led study, published today in Nature Climate Change, deployed advanced modelling techniques to make the colossal calculations, which forecasted average annual flood losses would increase by 26.4% from US$32 billion currently to US$40.6 billion in less than 30 years.
Robotic Exploration of Uncharted, Underwater Glacial Walls Set for 2023
It’s the front line of climate change and could hold the key to predicting global sea level rise, but what goes on at the underwater face of Greenland’s glaciers is a mystery to science.
Study Shows How Temperate Rainforests Can Aid the Fight against Climate Change
There is global recognition that woodland expansion could be one of the most effective solutions in the fight against climate change.
