Production of chemical fertilizers accounts for about 1.5 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. MIT chemists hope to help reduce that carbon footprint by replacing some chemical fertilizer with a more sustainable source — bacteria.
For years, Rutgers ecologist Brooke Maslo has studied how to redesign flood-prone landscapes so they can best protect the communities they border from the ravages of swollen brooks and rivers and rising seas.
The George Washington University has announced the formation of a sweeping new university-wide initiative that will reach across schools and disciplines to create a strategic alliance dedicated to the mission of combating climate change and promoting healthy and thriving resource systems for all.
Stony Brook University Professor Kevin Reed has been appointed Associate Provost for Climate and Sustainability Programming, as announced by Executive Vice President and Provost Carl Lejuez.
From air-sealing windows and checking for leaky ducts to insulating the attic, PNNL researchers offer tips on how to keep a home warm in winter weather.
The Future Earth program has faced challenges of visibility, top-down approach and lack of representation from the global South. Future programs should be more active, integrated, involve global South and a variety of stakeholders.
A team at the University of Washington has created an interactive dashboard called WhaleVis, which lets users map data on global whale catches and whaling routes from 1880 to 1986. Scientists can compare this historical data and its trends with current information to better understand whale populations over time.
Researchers take inspiration from muscles in the human body to develop a system that helps unmanned rovers detect slip condition
The world’s total population is expected to reach 9.9 billion by 2050. This rapid increase in population is boosting the demand for agriculture to cater for the increased demand. Below are some of the latest research and features on agriculture and farming in the Agriculture channel on Newswise.
To help mitigate the world’s biodiversity crisis, Arizona State University’s Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory has recruited Harris Lewin, a prominent genome scientist currently spearheading one of biology’s most ambitious ‘moonshot’ goals, a complete DNA catalog of the genetic code for life on Earth by the end of this decade.
