With Sea Ice Melting, Killer Whales Are Moving Into the Arctic
In the winter of 2020, Inuit hunters in Canada’s Central Arctic came across the frozen carcasses of 11 beached bowhead whales, enormous marine mammals that have made a slow but steady comeback since they were driven to the brink of extinction by late 19th and early 20th century whalers.
Validation Technique Could Help Scientists Make More Accurate Forecasts
MIT researchers developed a new approach for assessing predictions with a spatial dimension, like forecasting weather or mapping air pollution.
Scientists Harness AI to Help Protect Whales, Advancing Ocean Conservation and Planning
Using machine learning, Rutgers researchers develop a “probability map” from databases that combines whale monitoring and environmental data.
Turning Car and Helicopter Exhaust Into Thermoelectric Energy
Combustion engines, the engines in gas-powered cars, only use a quarter of the fuel’s potential energy while the rest is lost as heat through exhaust.
Outokumpu’s Bedrock Reveals a Smelly Surprise
Volatile organic compounds (VOC) are known to be contaminants originating in industrial processes and materials, as well as a reason for substandard indoor air, but they are also formed in nature, including wetlands, forests, volcanoes and hydrothermal vents.
