A new analysis from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the USDA-Agricultural Research Service (ARS) has identified the top factors accounting for yield variability in processing sweet corn (used for canned and frozen products), including one within the control of processors.

Researchers at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at UC San Diego have developed new deep learning models to continue improving efforts for early wildfire detection. 

A remote part of the Indian Ocean is a hotspot for whales and dolphins, prompting researchers to call for a new protected area.

Joint research groups at Tampere University, University of Helsinki, Lund University and Pi-Numerics, Salzburg, have established key early steps in the conversion of aromatic molecules, a major constituent of traffic and other urban volatile emissions, into aerosol. 

The Pacific Ocean covers 32% of Earth’s surface area, more than all the land combined. 

Lithium-ion batteries are the powerhouse of modern-day electronics, and fuel cells are a promising candidate for sustainable energy devices.

A sustainable future for the entire food supply chain is the ambition of Sudhir Yadav, The University of Queensland’s first Associate Professor of Sustainability.

Climate impacts such as dry, hot summers reduce the growth and increase the mortality of trees in the Black Forest because they negatively influence the climatic water balance, i.e., the difference between precipitation and potential evapotranspiration.

The Pacific Ocean covers 32% of Earth’s surface area, more than all the land combined. Unsurprisingly, its activity affects conditions around the globe.

To prepare for extreme heat waves around the world – particularly in places known for cool summers – climate-simulation models that include a new computing concept may save tens of thousands of lives.
