A Machine Learning Approach to Freshwater Analysis
From protecting biodiversity to ensuring the safety of drinking water, the biochemical makeup of rivers and streams around the United States is critical for human and environmental welfare.
Preserving Forests to Protect Deep Soil From Warming
A recent study led by scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of Zurich has revealed that the organic compounds proposed for carbon sequestration in deep soil are highly vulnerable to decomposition under global warming.
Newly Planted Vegetation Accelerates Dune Erosion During Extreme Storms, Research Shows
Newly planted vegetation on coastal sand dunes can accelerate erosion from extreme waves, a study involving researchers from the Oregon State University College of Engineering suggests.
Leveraging Nanotechnology to Save Coral Reefs
At a scale 100,000 times smaller than the width of a single blade of your hair, nanotechnology — the study and manipulation of individual atoms and molecules — has paved the way for solutions to some of the world’s most pressing biomedical, agricultural and materials science challenges.
Building a Blueprint for Zero-Emissions Agriculture
Technological innovation and investment will be needed to reduce agriculture-related greenhouse gas emissions to zero, according to new work from Carnegie Staff Associate Lorenzo Rosa and Visiting Scholar Paolo Gabrielli.
