Interpretable Deep Learning Approach Reveals the Critical Role of Sea Surface Salinity in Long-Lead ENSO Forecasting
Recent advancements in climate modeling have uncovered the pivotal role of Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) in enhancing long-lead ENSO forecasting. Utilizing a deep learning model have extended the ENSO forecast lead time to 24 months, emphasizing post-2000 El Niño events.
Whales' health and conservation are exceedingly threatened by micro-nanoplastics
The huge and progressively expanding contamination of planetary seas and oceans by micro-nanoplastics (MNPs) is a major concern issue.
Controlling enzyme hydrolysis of branched polymers synthesised using transfer-dominated branching radical telomerisation via telogen and taxogen selection
Here we introduce some of the people and thought processess involved as the Rannard research group, based at the University of Liverpool, attempts to push our new technology into the world of sustainable polymer science
A reappraisal of the Earth rotation variations
A team of researchers have analyzed the irregularities in Earth's rotation since 1900
Regulatory Transposable Elements in ENCODE
Transposable elements are the unwanted pests in our genome that keep producing more of themselves over evolutionary history. While we may not always appreciate their presence, it turns out that parts of the regulatory genome come from the transposable elements that we have picked up along the way.
