Artificial Intelligence Breakthrough Gives Longer Advance Warning of Ozone Issues
Ozone levels in the earth’s troposphere (the lowest level of our atmosphere) can now be forecasted with accuracy up to two weeks in advance, a remarkable improvement over current systems that can accurately predict ozone levels only three days ahead.
Scientists Use NASA Satellite Data to Track Ocean Microplastics From Space
Scientists from the University of Michigan have developed an innovative way to use NASA satellite data to track the movement of tiny pieces of plastic in the ocean.
Recycling Next-Generation Solar Panels Fosters Green Planet
Tossing worn-out solar panels into landfills may soon become electronics waste history.
Assuming balance in CO2 emissions vs removals could skew climate targets: SFU research
Changes in climate resulting from carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the Earth’s atmosphere are not equal to the climate changes from deliberate CO2 removals—and assuming such a balance could lead to different climate outcomes that may skew climate targets, according to new Simon Fraser University-led research.
AI Used to Predict Unknown Links Between Viruses and Mammals
A new University of Liverpool study could help scientists mitigate the future spread of zoonotic and livestock diseases caused by viruses.
