More than half of the lakes around the world are loosing water
Posted on 26 June, 2023 by benyamin chahkandi
Summary: A recent study found that 53 percent of the greatest freshwater lakes on earth are in decline and are now retaining less water than they did thirty years ago. The study measured changes in water levels in roughly 2,000 of the largest lakes and reservoirs in the globe using satellite measurements spanning decades. It was discovered that human consumption, sedimentation, and climate change are to blame .
However, the lead author, former CIRES visiting fellow and current climate...
AI discovers flora's hidden characteristics to aid save species
Posted on 4 July, 2023 by benyamin chahkandi
Summary:To research and mitigate the effects of climate change on flora, scientists from UNSW and the Sydney Botanic Gardens have trained AI to access data from millions of plant specimens maintained in herbaria around the world.
Associate Professor Will Cornwell, the study's principal author, adds that herbarium collections are incredible "time capsules of plant specimens." It's no longer feasible to go through items manually because the National Herbarium of New South Wales alone...
Climate change, causing oceans to become more green
Posted on 16 July, 2023 by benyamin chahkandi
Highlights;
More than half of the world's oceans have become greener over the past 20 years, likely due to global warming. This was determined by analyzing 20 years of data on ocean color from NASA's Aqua satellite.
The greening indicates increased phytoplankton and algae in the surface waters. Phytoplankton contain chlorophyll which makes the ocean appear greener.
The tropical and subtropical waters between 40°S and 40°N latitude changed the most in color. These areas...
