Dark Boreal Forests of Canada Absorb Enough Heat to Cancel Up to a Fifth of Their Climate Benefit, Scientists Warn
Dense evergreen plantations in Canada’s boreal forest absorb so much winter sunlight that the resulting surface warming can offset 6 to 20 percent of the climate benefit they are credited with.
As a UF Student and NVIDIA Intern, I’m Using Agricultural AI to Help Transform Global Food Production

The Changing Shape of Extreme Rain in the U.S.
Extreme precipitation events are among the most damaging natural disasters and a major concern in our changing climate.
Research Confirms Tropical Regions as Historic Methane Source
A new analysis of ice cores collected from the Andes in Peru has produced the first global record of historical tropical methane, filling a critical gap in our understanding of the origins of Earth’s greenhouse gases.
MIT Engineers Connect Bacteria to Create Living Transistors
MIT researchers have engineered bacteria that can function as transistors, allowing the team to create living “circuit boards” that can be printed onto a growth medium in a Petri dish.
