The recent study conducted by the University of Reading demonstrates the groundbreaking capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) in predicting the path and intensity of major storms. According to Professor Andrew Charlton-Perez, AI is revolutionizing weather forecasting by enabling rapid and accurate predictions through machine learning techniques. This signifies a major shift from traditional forecasting methods,

The impact of climate change on rainfall patterns is becoming increasingly evident, with April showers turning into deluges and May flowers facing a new reality. A University of Maryland-led study published in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment highlights a global trend towards more intense but less frequent rainfalls throughout the year. This change in rainfall

When we talk about soil carbon, we typically focus on the organic matter component, known as soil organic carbon (SOC). However, another crucial component of soil carbon is the inorganic part, known as soil inorganic carbon (SIC). Often overlooked, SIC, usually in the form of calcium carbonate, tends to accumulate more in arid regions with

The Biden administration recently unveiled the first-ever nationwide tap water standards aimed at protecting the public from harmful “forever chemicals” known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). These toxic chemicals have been linked to a range of serious health issues, including cancer and developmental problems in children. PFAS are pervasive in the environment, accumulating in
