How has Australia’s river water quality changed over two decades?
Our study assessed how river water quality across Australia has been tracking over two decades (2000-2019). We highlighted some key regional contrasts in water quality signals, including deterioration in many rivers flowing into Great Barrier Reef and overall improvement in the Murray-Darling Basin.
Cyclone Biparjoy and Phosphorus Transitions: Tracing Dust Pathways to Asia’s Largest Grassland
Dust transport plays a crucial role in global nutrient cycles, yet its impact on grasslands remains underexplored. Our study investigates how cyclone Biparjoy influenced deposition in the Banni grassland, revealing how dust from the MENA and the Thar Desert contributes ecosystem nutrient dynamics.
Unlocking the power of dynamic tariffs in the retail electricity market
In this study, we explore the role of dynamic pricing in enhancing electricity market efficiency, improving system reliability, and mitigating price volatility in an era of increasing renewable energy integration.
Employing biodiversity to reduce pesticide risk
Biodiversity (eg., crop diversification, crop-domestic animal co-culture, and crop-edible fungus co-culture) has been proved to be a useful way to suppress pests and therefore to reduce pesticide risk in farming.
