Robot Matches Humans in Scouting for Vineyard Diseases
The latest version of an autonomous robot that can scout for grape diseases in vineyards in near-real time, with an accuracy that matches highly trained human scouts, will one day help track crop-killing pathogens with minimal labor.
Scientists Transform Plastic Waste into Efficient CO2 Capture Materials
As CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere keep rising regardless of years of political intentions to limit emissions, the world’s oceans are drowning in plastics, which threatens marine environments and ecosystems.
The Ocean Carbon Sink Is Ailing
The world’s oceans act as an important sink for carbon dioxide (CO₂).
Suite of Models Shows Some Positive Effects of Climate-Smart Ag Practices
A study using multiple agronomic models to examine two long-term agricultural research stations in North America shows that so-called climate-smart agricultural practices – like no-till treatments, cover-crop utilization and residue retention – can help promote carbon sequestration in soil and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
AI and Climate Change: How to Reliably Record Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Large companies in the EU are legally required to report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Yet pulling this information manually from long PDF sustainability reports is slow and error-prone.
