Wissenschaft verknüpft den Wald mit dem Internet der Dinge
Ausgestattet mit rund 10,5 Mio. Euro an Forschungsgeldern werden Forschende neuartige Sensoren zum Einsatz bringen, die der Assimilation von Daten in Echtzeit und der Erstellung von Modellen dienen, die die Auswirkung von Klimaveränderungen auf Waldgebiete abbilden.
In Rare Opportunity, Researchers Observe Formation of Icelandic Valleys
During the lead-up to recent volcanic eruptions near the city of Grindavík, scientists documented graben formation in real time.
Seismologie: Ein vielversprechender Weg zur Überwachung von Permafrost
Passive seismische Daten von einer Messstation auf der Zugspitze zeichneten im Lauf der letzten 15 Jahre den Schwund von Permafrost auf. Somit eignet sich dieses Verfahren vermutlich auch für die langfristige Überwachung der Umwelt.
Watching and Listening for Signs of Slope Failure
Ten years of data preceding a rockfall in the French Alps suggest the need for more comprehensive monitoring systems.
A Splashy Meteorite Was Forged in Multiple Collisions
The Winchcombe meteorite was recovered, largely from a driveway, just hours after it fell to Earth, preserving evidence that its early relatives could have filled Earth’s oceans.
The Moana Project Braids Tradition and Science for a More Sustainable Ocean
Scientists and Māori communities in Aotearoa New Zealand are gathering knowledge on marine conditions and ecosystems to protect livelihoods and help ensure a sustainable future for the blue economy.
Telecom Fibers Are Sensing Earthquake Hazards in Istanbul
A fiber-optic cable below Türkiye’s earthquake-prone metropolis is offering new details about how seismic waves will rattle the city—and demonstrating the potential of a bigger monitoring effort.
Alerting Communities to Hyperlocalized Urban Flooding
A high-accuracy, low-cost sensor network may change the way urban floods are detected and monitored.
When Extreme Drought Becomes Commonplace
As drought becomes a more regular occurrence, a new study looks at the U.S. Drought Monitor, the nation’s preeminent drought classifier, to see how it has reflected climate change since 2000.
