Das Oktoberfest—viel Bierzeltdunst und Methan

Katherine Kornei, Science Writer by Katherine Kornei 16 August 202416 August 2024

Unvollständige Verbrennung und biogene Emissionen—Atemausstoß und Flatulenz—machen das Oktoberfest zu einer starken, wenn auch zeitlich begrenzten Quelle des potenten Treibhausgases.

La transmisión de la malaria en África varía con el clima y la hidrología

by Carolyn Wilke 26 July 202412 August 2024

Los datos sobre las precipitaciones por sí solos no pueden predecir dónde puede aparecer la malaria. Si se tienen en cuenta los procesos hidrológicos, los investigadores pueden hacerse una imagen más precisa de la transmisión.
