Warming of Antarctic Deep-Sea Waters Contribute to Sea Level Rise in North Atlantic, Study Finds
A new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience led by scientists at University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, found that human-induced environmental changes around Antarctica are contributing to sea level rise in the North Atlantic.
Clearing the Air: Wind Farms More Land Efficient Than Previously Thought
Wind power is a source of energy that is both affordable and renewable.
Surprising Reversal in Quantum Systems
In principle, one shouldn’t compare apples to oranges. However, in topology, which is a branch of mathematics, one has to do just that.
Coal Train Pollution Increases Health Risks and Disparities
Trains carrying loads of coal bring with them higher rates of asthma, heart disease, hospitalization and death for residents living nearest the rail lines, according to a new study from the University of California, Davis.
Weather Prediction Models can Also Forecast Satellite Displacements
Researchers at the Institute for Atmospheric and Earth System Research (INAR) at the University of Helsinki have found that modern weather models can accurately predict the energy that Earth emits and reflects into space, which directly affects the movements of low Earth-orbiting (LEO) satellites.
