Hotter Temps Trigger Wetlands To Emit More Methane as Microbes Struggle To Keep Up
Rising temperatures could tip the scale in an underground battle that has raged for millennia.
Trawling-Induced Sediment Resuspension Reduces CO2 Uptake
GEOMAR study investigates the impact of sediment resuspension induced by trawling and other natural processes in Kiel Bight.
Flying Robots Unlock New Horizons in Construction
An international team led by researchers from Empa and EPFL has explored how in future aerial robots could process construction materials precisely in the air – an approach with great potential for difficult-to-access locations or work at great heights.
Controlling Starch Levels in Algae Could Reduce Greenhouse Gases
High-starch algae are important in biofuel production, as a feed supplement in agriculture and as an efficient way to bind carbon dioxide.
New Approach Makes AI Adaptable for Computer Vision in Crop Breeding
Scientists developed a machine-learning tool that can teach itself, with minimal external guidance, to differentiate between aerial images of flowering and nonflowering grasses — an advance that will greatly increase the pace of agricultural field research, they say.
