UK energy researchers can now work directly with industry on some of the energy system’s toughest challenges, through a new Academic Portal launched by Energy Systems Nexus.
Water level data traditionally come from hydrological stations, but sparse spatial coverage, high operational costs and limited real-time capability hinder continuous monitoring in complex plain river-network regions, where water level variations are jointly influenced by precipitation, sluice regulation, human activities and agricultural irrigation, exhibiting strong nonlinearity, non-stationarity and spatial heterogeneity.
At es Tonedor, in Es Mercadal, cheese is made the slow way. Unrefined sea salt goes straight onto the rind by hand, rather than the wheel going into a brine bath. The cheeses then mature for around two months at 11–13°C in controlled humidity, turned every two days, their rinds rubbed as they age.
Climate change has caused sudden and unexpected shifts in weather, including dry spells. What does that mean for your lawn, and are there ways to keep it green without overusing water and fertilizer?
A team of researchers from The James Hutton Institute has contributed to a major international study showing that productive forestry and biodiversity conservation can go hand in hand.
Trace gases - gases that make up only a tiny amount of the atmosphere - can affect how cloud droplets form. Stable cloud droplets form when enough water molecules stick to a particle, called a cloud condensation nucleus, in the atmosphere.
As ocean temperatures rise, corals' ability to withstand and adapt to heat stress is critical for the future of coral reefs.
Coastal blue carbon ecosystems--mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses--store carbon and protect shorelines, but conservation often lags behind rapid coastal change. This study introduces a dual-constraint spatial planning framework that couples habitat suitability with land-sea anthropogenic pressures to identify where these ecosystems can persist, expand, or be restored. Applying it across China's 18,000-km coastline, researchers integrated 60 environmental variables and 13 pressure indicators to map potential suitable distribution areas and optimize protection priorities. The framework reveals a proactive blue carbon expansion capacity 7 to 24 times larger than current extents. It also shows that existing reserves cover only about 20% of high-priority zones, leaving most target areas dependent on active restoration.
Satellite L-band radiometry has transformed open-ocean salinity monitoring, but coastal retrieval remains difficult. Bright land signals leak into ocean measurements, while side lobes, imaging artifacts, radio frequency interference, and calibration errors distort brightness temperature near shore. Existing forward models also assume fully developed, wind-driven seas and often neglect fetch limits, wave age, shallow-water effects, and wave–current interactions.
Bushfire smoke is affecting Queensland urban air quality more often and more severely than previously understood, with new QUT-led research revealing bushfire-impacted hours have almost tripled in recent years, increasing health risks for communities.
