Simulations identify how critical elements distribute in abundant mineral ores
Nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) are critical elements for modern technologies, with high-grade Ni and Co ores becoming increasingly scarce. Mafic and ultramafic deposits are low-grade, abundant alternatives to traditional Ni and Co ores. However, new met.....»»
Researchers track the sub-Antarctic journey of two Australian pygmy blue whales
An epic journey spanning thousands of kilometers from Indonesia deep into sub-Antarctic waters by two Australian pygmy blue whales has been tracked by researchers for the first time, confirming a long-held hypothesis about the travel habits of the su.....»»
Sea of opportunity: Protecting mangroves, seagrass could boost Indonesia"s new climate targets
Indonesia has signaled it could include blue carbon ecosystems—carbon-rich coastal and marine areas, like mangroves and seagrass—in its new climate targets. This shift follows years of relying heavily on the forestry and land sectors as well as t.....»»
