Down in the slumps: Tracing erosion cycles in arctic permafrost
In the Arctic, landslide-like features known as mega retrogressive thaw slumps are threatening infrastructure, altering regional biogeochemistry, and emitting carbon......»»
Scientists use "leaf glow" to understand changing climate
New University of Minnesota research suggests "leaf glow" provides vital information on vegetation dynamics in Arctic and boreal ecosystems like Minnesota's forests and wetlands, which are among the fastest warming in the world. Using remote sensing.....»»
Scientists combine a spatially distributed sediment delivery model and biogeochemical model to estimate fluxes by water
Water erosion is the most active process controlling soil formation and evolution, which can affect the redistribution of carbon between terrestrial, aquatic, and atmospheric ecosystems. Erosion-induced organic carbon dynamic process should not be mi.....»»
Warming Arctic reduces dust levels in parts of the planet, study finds
Climate change is a global phenomenon, but its impacts are felt at a very local level. Take, for example, dust. Dust can have a huge impact on local air quality, food security, energy supply and public health. Yet, little is known about how global cl.....»»
A better way to predict Arctic riverbank erosion
Arctic riverbanks are typically resilient, thanks to the power of permafrost. This permanently frozen soil locks in sediment, leading to low erosion rates. But as Arctic river water warms due to climate change, some researchers worry that riverbanks.....»»
ESET integrates with Arctic Wolf to provide greater security visibility
ESET has unveiled a new integration with Arctic Wolf, to ensure increased visibility and protection against modern threats. By integrating ESET Inspect into Arctic Wolf’s Security Operations Platform, Arctic Wolf customers are able to enhance t.....»»
Leaf size and defensive traits found to modulate effects of soil fauna on litter decomposition
Leaf litter, as a multifunctional legacy of plants, plays an essential role in driving biogeochemical cycles, while providing important habitat and food resources for soil organisms. Litter traits and soil fauna play a crucial role in determining lit.....»»
New Relic AI monitoring helps enterprises use AI with confidence
New Relic announced New Relic AI monitoring with a suite of new features to meet the evolving needs of organizations developing AI applications. New features include in-depth AI response tracing insights with real-time user feedback and model compari.....»»
The Italian central Apennines are a source of CO₂, study finds
Tectonically active mountains play an important role in the natural CO2 regulation of the atmosphere. Competing processes take place here: At Earth's surface, erosion drives weathering processes that absorb or release CO2, depending on the type of ro.....»»
Are Titan"s dunes made of comet dust?
A new theory suggests that Titan's majestic dune fields may have come from outer space. Researchers had always assumed that the sand making up Titan's dunes was locally made, through erosion or condensed from atmospheric hydrocarbons. But researchers.....»»
EU cybersecurity label for cloud computing vote pushed back once again
Cloud service security label will hopefully guarantee EU data safety, but regulatory erosion is putting security at risk......»»
Researchers shine light on rapid changes in Arctic and boreal ecosystems
Arctic and boreal latitudes are warming faster than any other region on Earth. In three new studies, Earth system scientists at the University of California, Irvine report how the ecosystems in these regions are changing......»»
Northern permafrost region emits more greenhouse gases than it captures, study finds
Permafrost underlies about 14 million square kilometers of land in and around the Arctic. The top 3 meters contain an estimated 1 trillion metric tons of carbon and 55 billion metric tons of nitrogen. Historically, the northern permafrost region has.....»»
High stakes: The Arctic test of sustainable development
EU researchers are helping policymakers reconcile competing demands in a region full of natural resources, beauty and tradition......»»
Tracing the lineage of North America"s native Blackfoot Confederacy
A team of researchers with varied backgrounds and affiliated with multiple organizations (including the Blackfoot Confederacy) in the U.S. and Canada has conducted a genetic study focused on tracing the lineage of North America's native Blackfoot Con.....»»
Biden plans sweeping effort to block Arctic oil drilling
The U.S. set aside 23 million acres of Alaska's North Slope to serve as an emergency oil supply a century ago. Now, President Joe Biden is moving to block oil and gas development across roughly half of it......»»
Plant more native trees to reduce landslide risk, control erosion, say researchers
Landslides typically occur under heavy rain. With the potential for increased precipitation due to climate change and a possible return to La Niña reinforcing slopes with native trees and shrubs could be an effective, economical and sustainable solu.....»»
A new tool for tracing the family trees of cells
EPFL researchers have developed GEMLI, a pioneering tool that could democratize and vastly improve how we study the journey of cells from their embryonic state through to specialized roles in the body, as well as their changes in cancer and other dis.....»»
Precision agriculture research identifies gene that controls production of flowers and fruits in pea plants
The end of the reproductive period, when flowers and fruits are produced, is a crucial moment in plants' life cycles. However, the factors that control this process must be better understood......»»
Scientists reconstruct assembly of the human centriole, image by image, for the first time
Cells contain various specialized structures—such as the nucleus, mitochondria or peroxisomes—known as "organelles." Tracing their genesis and determining their structure is fundamental to understanding cell function and the pathologies linked to.....»»
Unleash the beast: Hi Power Cycles’ electric mountain bike
A lot of distinct components and a hefty frame smooth out some nasty terrain. Enlarge (credit: John TImmer) I found myself in the air long enough to give some thought to how I could land while remaining atop the bicycle.....»»
