Climate Change Is Shrinking Marine Animals: Why Ocean Monitoring Matters Climate Change Is Shrinking Marine Animals: Why Ocean Monitoring Matters Marine animals have responded to major environmental crises by becoming smaller for hundreds of millions of years. New research involving Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, the University of Warsaw and the University of Lille examined almost 9,000 changes…

Using Microbes to Fight Pollution: Why Bioremediation Needs Environmental Testing

Using Microbes to Fight Pollution: Why Bioremediation Needs Environmental Testing Using Microbes to Fight Pollution: Why Bioremediation Needs Environmental Testing Polluted soil and water can remain contaminated for years, threatening ecosystems, agricultural productivity, groundwater resources and human health. Traditional cleanup methods may require contaminated material to be excavated, transported, treated or contained. These approaches can…

Smarter Data Centre Cooling: Why Energy Efficiency Must Be Measured, Verified and Monitored

Smarter Data Centre Cooling: Why Energy Efficiency Must Be Measured, Verified and Monitored Smarter Data Centre Cooling: Why Energy Efficiency Must Be Measured, Verified and Monitored Artificial intelligence may be contributing to the rapid expansion of data centres, but researchers are also exploring how AI can reduce the environmental burden of operating them. Researchers at…

AI Data Centres in Trinidad and Tobago: Why Environmental Assessment Must Lead the National Conversation

AI Data Centres in Trinidad and Tobago: Why Environmental Assessment Must Lead the National Conversation AI Data Centres in Trinidad and Tobago: Why Environmental Assessment Must Lead the National Conversation Trinidad and Tobago is considering a potentially transformative expansion into artificial intelligence infrastructure and large-scale data centres. The discussion follows the signing of Memoranda of…

Sustainable Aviation Fuel and Environmental MonitoringFocus keyphrase: sustainable aviation fuel environmental monitoring

Sustainable Aviation Fuel and Environmental MonitoringFocus keyphrase: sustainable aviation fuel environmental monitoring Aviation is one of the most difficult sectors to decarbonize. Aircraft require high-energy fuel, global travel demand continues to grow, and many long-distance flights cannot yet be easily electrified. This is why sustainable aviation fuel, often called SAF, has become one of the…

Food Waste Carbon Capture and Environmental Testing

Food Waste Carbon Capture and Environmental Testing Food waste is usually treated as an environmental burden. It can create disposal pressure, generate methane when poorly managed, increase landfill demand, and represent a loss of resources already used in agriculture, processing, transport, and storage. But emerging research is showing that some food waste streams may also…

Kelp Forest Restoration and Marine Ecosystem Monitoring

Kelp Forest Restoration and Marine Ecosystem Monitoring Kelp forests are some of the most productive marine ecosystems on Earth. They provide habitat for fish and invertebrates, help protect coastlines, support biodiversity, reduce erosion, and store carbon. Yet in many regions, these underwater forests are under severe pressure from ocean warming, pollution, overgrazing by sea urchins,…

Waste Rubber Carbon Capture and Environmental Testing

Waste Rubber Carbon Capture and Environmental Testing Waste is usually treated as the end of a product’s life. A material is used, discarded, and then sent to landfill, incineration, or another disposal pathway. But new research is showing that some waste materials may have a second life as part of climate technology. A recent Aarhus…

Textile Waste and Environmental Monitoring: Why Production Waste Matters

Textile Waste and Environmental Monitoring: Why Production Waste Matters When people think about textile waste, they usually think about clothes that are thrown away after use. Old shirts, fast fashion, discarded uniforms, and unsold garments are visible signs of the problem. But textile waste begins much earlier in the supply chain. A recent Norwegian SciTech…

Wetlands, Development, and Flood Risk: Why Assessment Matters

Wetlands, Development, and Flood Risk: Why Assessment Matters Wetlands are often misunderstood as unused or underutilized land. In reality, they are among the most valuable environmental systems in the world. They store water, reduce flood impacts, filter pollutants, support biodiversity, protect coastlines, and help maintain the health of surrounding ecosystems. As land development pressures increase,…
