Upcycling Biomass into New Sustainable Material

While biomass is typically used as an energy source, like its fossil-based counterpart, researchers are also keen to evaluate its potential to produce new materials. Recently, a team of researchers from the University of Delaware (UD) has reported findings of an innovative low-pressure method that upcycles biomass into new sustainable materials.

Volcanic Eruptions, Climate Change may Erase Island Nations and Cultures in the Pacific and Western Indian Oceans

While the aftermath of an undersea volcanic eruption and the following tsunami garner much attention as the waves crash around inhabited islands, like in Tonga, an expert at West Virginia University says the combination of those hard to predict eruptions and climate change will eventually erase island nations and their cultures in the Pacific and western Indian oceans.
