Ocean density identified as a key driver of carbon capture by marine plankton

Schreibe einen Kommentar / Ressourcen /

New findings, published today in Royal Society Open Science , have revealed that changes in ocean density have a significant impact on the rate at which marine plankton incorporate carbon into their shells. This has profound implications for carbon cycling and the ocean’s ability to absorb atmospheric CO 2 in response to climate change. Up […]

New AI tool generates realistic satellite images of future flooding

Schreibe einen Kommentar / Extremereignisse /

Visualizing the potential impacts of a hurricane on people’s homes before it hits can help residents prepare and decide whether to evacuate. MIT scientists have developed a method that generates satellite imagery from the future to depict how a region would look after a potential flooding event. The method combines a generative artificial intelligence model

Climate change causes more sediment in high-mountain rivers

Schreibe einen Kommentar / Extremereignisse /

Many high-mountain rivers in Asia transport more sediment downstream compared to a few years ago. Changes in sediment levels have a particularly strong impact on agriculture, water quality, flood management, and hydropower generation. A study with participation from the University of Potsdam demonstrates the interacting roles of glaciers, vegetation, precipitation, and slope in mobilizing sediment

Bislang unbekannte Verbindung in chloraminiertem Trinkwasser identifiziert

Schreibe einen Kommentar / Wasserversorgung /

Seit den 80ern ist bekannt, dass sich in chloraminiertem Trinkwasser eine mysteriöse Verunreinigung bildet – doch erst jetzt konnte ein Schweiz-Amerikanisches Forschungsteam das unbekannte Produkt in US-Trinkwasseranlagen identifizieren. Es dauerte mehr als 40 Jahre, um den Abbau anorganischer Chloramin-Desinfektionsmittel in US-amerikanischen Trinkwassersystemen zu verstehen. In Kürze Forschende haben eine potenziell toxische Verbindung identifiziert – ein
