Hydropower Without the Environmental Impact
Scientists have analysed data from nearly three million rivers across the globe to identify where hydropower stations could be sited with limited environmental impacts.
OSU-led Wave Energy Testing Facility Reaches Key Construction Milestones
The last major pieces of the contract to build the wave energy test facility PacWave South have been executed, paving the way for the completion of the Oregon State University-led facility off the coast of Newport.
Using Machine Learning to Predict Brain Tumour Progression
Researchers at the University of Waterloo have created a computational model to predict the growth of deadly brain tumours more accurately.
Dust from Wind Storms Masking Full Effect of Warming, Study Finds
The amount of dust generated by desert windstorms has grown markedly since the mid-19th century, helping to curb the global rise in temperature, new research shows.
Forest Landslides’ Frequency, Size Influenced More by Road Building, Logging Than Heavy Rain
A long-term Pacific Northwest study of landslides, clear-cutting timber and building roads shows that a forest’s management history has a greater impact on how often landslides occur and how severe they are compared to how much water is coursing through a watershed.
