For much of his career, George Tselioudis, a researcher at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, has analyzed decades of satellite observations to understand where clouds occur, whether their distribution has changed, and how changes might affect Earth’s energy budget and climate.

In the early 1900s, polar explorer Roald Amundsen led the first successful expedition across the Northwest Passage. 

Estimating aboveground forest biomass key to climate change research.

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new cooling technology that could significantly improve the energy efficiency of data centers and high-powered electronics. 

A University of Queensland-led project has developed a tool to standardise genetic testing of koala populations, providing a significant boost to conservation and recovery efforts.

A cosmic particle detector in Antarctica has emitted a series of bizarre signals that defy the current understanding of particle physics, according to an international research group that includes scientists from Penn State. 

Industries that need ultra-pure water — including semiconductor, battery, pharmaceutical, food and beverage companies — are expanding in Arizona.

“Imagine if we could pull billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide directly from the air and transform it into sustainable fuels that power the world and slow climate change,” says Dr Sam Wenger, University of Sydney alumnus, Founder and CEO of Dac Labs.
