Snapshots.


  1. World's most vulnerable areas to climate change mapped.--Using data from the world's ecosystems and predictions of how climate change will impact them, scientists have produced a raodmap that identifies the most vulnerable and least vulnerable areas in the age of climate change.
  2. For efficient irrigation, more control over plant growth.-- Soil moisture sensors used along with an automated irrigation system to irrigate when substrate volumetric water drops below a set threshold, allow for improved water conservation compared with traditional practices.
  3. New light on birth of Earth's continents.--  An analysis shows that the nuclei of Earth's continents formed as a byproduct of mountain-building processes, by stacking up slabs of relatively cold oceanic crust, creating 'keels' in earth's mantle supporting the overlying crust.
  4. Generating electricity from sewage using wired microbes.--  A new way to generate electricity from sewage uses naturally occurring 'wired microbes' as mini power plants, producing electricity as they digest plant and animal waste. A simple yet efficient design puts these special bacteria to work.
  5. Space weather to blame for some satellite failures.-- Researchers are investigating whether solar falres, geomagnetic storms and other forms of electromagnetic radiation have affected geostationary satellites, which provide much of the world's communications.
