Record Heat Waves Affect Argentina: Unravelling the Summer of 2022/23
This scientific study sheds light on the extremely hot summer of 2022/23 in Argentina, where record heat waves defy climate expectations. Discover the surprising reasons behind this unprecedented atmospheric phenomenon.
Prediction of soil temperatures using artificial intelligence
Soil temperatures at various depths of soil are important in changing environments to understand all properties of soil. This is essential in reaching food sustainability. We developed a novel model to predict soil temperature at both surface and 10 cm depth of soil in Nukus, Uzbekistan.
Speed of environmental change frames relative ecological risk in climate change and climate intervention scenarios
We show that considering the speed of temperature change helps place different scenarios of climate change and climate intervention in context to relative ecological risk.
Studying animal seed dispersal and forest regeneration: where cutting-edge modelling techniques meet intensive field-based research
Behind every large-scale ecological model is the indispensable fieldwork of numerous experts on the ground. Here, we dive into the collective research effort behind our latest paper – highlighting four datasets on frugivory, animal behaviour, gut passage time of seeds, and forest restoration.
Reducing supply risk of critical materials for clean energy via foreign direct investment
Our study provides a comprehensive overview of how Foreign Direct Investment influences the supply security of critical materials necessary for the clean energy transition.
Groundwater arsenic removal by a bioinspired porous membrane
Arsenic is one of the most toxic elements on earth, and a class 1 carcinogenic. The natural occurrence of arsenic in groundwaters is recognized as the major source of human exposure to this element. The problem of As contamination of water is therefore a major issue in different areas of the world.
