New map and report expose growing dangers along whale "superhighways" across the globe
A comprehensive new map and report tracking whale migrations around the globe highlights where they go in the high seas and the cumulative impacts the animals face from industrial fishing, ship strikes, pollution, habitat loss and climate change......»»
Forest canopy covers "obviously" underestimated by current assessments, researchers find
Satellite mapping, bolstered by algorithmic assessment, provides an indispensable view of Earth's canopy covering. The fraction of ground covered by tree crowns serves as a critical parameter for measuring forest ecosystems and potential carbon sinks.....»»
Disaster survivors feel more prepared for the next one but are often left out of planning
Many Australians who have survived a disaster feel more confident their communities are prepared for the next one. But a third of those living in disaster prone areas don't feel at all prepared for a disaster, or confident in their ability to recover.....»»
