New Research from Swansea University Shines a Light on How Solar Power and Farming can Coexist
In a recent study published in Solar RRL, academics from the University’s Department of Physics have been exploring the effect of semi-transparent PV materials placed over crops – an exemplary application of agrivoltaics (solar panels combined with agricultural settings).
Pioneering Report Exposes Worsening Health Threats of Climate Change in UK
The review, published today in The Lancet Planetary Health and led by the University of Bristol, shows how prolonged exposure to extreme hot and cold temperatures not only carries greater risk of death but could also be linked to many other health issues, including reduced physical activity and dementia.
This Summer Was the Hottest on Record
The summer of 2024 set new records, European scientists have found.
With Hotter, Drier Weather, California’s Joshua Trees Are in Trouble
In 2020, the Dome Fire swept through Southern California’s Mojave National Preserve, blackening nearly 70 square miles of highly biodiverse desert.
Improved Predictions of Methane Gas Emissions in Tidal Wetlands
Tidal wetlands are extremely important environmentally, not only for the role of their ecosystems in conserving biodiversity, or the protection of erosion and promotions of fishing activity, but also because they contribute to the elimination of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and slow down the decomposition of organic material in soils which are humid and poor in oxygen.
