Using a Fiber Optic Cable to Study Arctic Seafloor Permafrost

The Arctic is remote, with often harsh conditions, and its climate is changing rapidly — warming four times faster than the rest of the Earth.

Researchers Invent “Methane Cleaner”: Could Become a Permanent Fixture in Cattle and Pig Barns

In a spectacular new study, researchers from the University of Copenhagen have used light and chlorine to eradicate low-concentration methane from air.

A New Tool to Better Model Future Wildfire Impacts in the United States

Wildfire management systems outfitted with remote sensing technology could improve first responders’ ability to predict and respond to the spread of deadly forest fires.

Scientists Collect Aardvark Poop to Understand How the Species Is Impacted by Climate in Africa

In a first-of-its-kind study of aardvarks, Oregon State University researchers spent months in sub-Saharan Africa collecting poop from the animal and concluded that aridification of the landscape is isolating them, which they say could have implications for their long-term survival.

Using AI to Pinpoint Hidden Sources of Clean Energy Underground

As efforts to transition away from fossil fuels strengthen the hunt for new sources of low-carbon energy, scientists have developed a deep learning model to scan the Earth for surface expressions of subsurface reservoirs of naturally occurring free hydrogen.
