How ecological models can help save species from going extinct

How ecological models can help save species from going extinct

There are more species with only a few individuals, while only a few species are common. “In biodiversity, there is commonness in rarity.”

Seismic resilience in the age of AI and advanced remote sensing

Prof. Dr. Cecilia Van Cauwenberghe, PhD, MSc, BS, MBA, is Research Director at Everest Group. Here, she explores seismic resilience in the age of artificial intelligence and advanced remote sensing, focusing on how science and technology transform earthquake preparedness.
Fig. 1: The average number of people affected yearly (from 1981 to 2010) by extreme heat and humidity co-occurring (a). The expected change in the number of people exposed to these extreme conditions by 2069–2098 is shown for two scenarios: one with strong climate action (c) and one with little or no action (b).

Planetary boundaries threaten the viability of biomass crops for carbon capture and storage

New research raises concerns that Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) may be more complicated than expected, especially considering its environmental impact.
The May 2024 solar storm created two extra radiation belts, sandwiched between the two permanent Van Allen Belts. One of the new belts, shown in purple, included a population of protons, giving it a unique composition that hadn’t been seen before. NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center/Kristen Perrin

NASA CubeSat detects unexpected radiation belts after 2024 solar storm

A historic solar storm in May 2024 not only triggered spectacular auroras but also created two new temporary radiation belts around Earth.

Ocean nourishment sequestering carbon dioxide in the deep ocean

Phytoplankton have been essential to life on Earth for over 35 billion years. Through photosynthesis, they consume carbon dioxide on a scale comparable to that of forests and other land plants. Edwina Tanner from the WhaleX Foundation shares insights on this and discusses the potential for plankton-based solutions in marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) and ocean nourishment.
