A next-generation vertical wind turbine is set to be put on trial south of Adelaide in a novel research collaboration between Flinders University and South Australian start-up company VAWT-X Energy.

While climate change is likely to present significant challenges to agriculture in coming decades, it could also mean that crops such as chickpeas, soybeans and oranges are widely grown across the UK, and home-produced hummus, tofu and marmalade are a common sight on our supermarket shelves by 2080.

How can seagrass help combat climate change?

As climate change leads to more frequent and intense extreme precipitation events, accurately predicting rainfall during the flood season has become increasingly critical.

Researchers analysed the ‘health’ of every vehicle on UK roads to provide a comprehensive analysis of survival rates for different powertrains.

Computer-modeled water level data fills gaps between tide stations along the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf coasts.

Perovskite solar cells are a flexible and sustainable alternative to conventional silicon-based solar cells. Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) are part of an international team that was able to find – within only a few weeks – new organic molecules that increase the efficiency of perovskite solar cells. 

Rapid Intensification (RI) of a tropical cyclone (TC), defined as a maximum sustained wind increase of at least 13 m/s within 24 hours, remains one of the most challenging weather phenomena to forecast because of its unpredictable and destructive nature. 

The Great Salt Lake, the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere, reached historic low levels in 2022, raising economic, ecological and public health concerns for Utah. 

The global climate crisis, driven by the depletion of fossil fuels and rising atmospheric CO2 levels, has intensified the need for sustainable energy solutions.
