Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Thermokarst lakes. A striking and increasingly significant feature in the Arctic and sub-Arctic landscapes, formed by the thawing of permafrost—ground that has remained frozen for at least two consecutive years. These lakes emerge when the ice-rich permafrost melts, causing the ground to subside and create depressions that subsequently fill […]

Recent research has brought to light a startling revelation: global warming is causing the days to lengthen. This surprising effect is due to the melting of polar ice sheets and the resulting redistribution of mass on Earth’s surface. It is a clear indication of the planetary-scale impact of human-induced climate change. The Earth’s day length […]

Climate change projections for small island states are currently limited due to the lack of fine-resolution models. This insufficiency in data and projections presents a pressing concern for these vulnerable regions. As such, there is an urgent call for global and regional collaboration to develop climate projections that are compatible with the scales of these […]

Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Fisheries and aquaculture, essential components of global food systems and economies. Fisheries refer to the harvesting of fish and other aquatic organisms from natural habitats such as oceans, rivers, and lakes, while aquaculture, also known as fish farming, involves the breeding, rearing, and harvesting of fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants […]

OpenAI, a leading force in the artificial intelligence community, recently announced their latest venture, an AI model codenamed “Strawberry”. This project is expected to bring AI reasoning to a level comparable with human intelligence, marking a significant step forward in AI capabilities. OpenAI’s innovative approach towards Strawberry’s development will involve a comprehensive review of existing […]

The exposure of French prison inmates to climate change and other environmental threats is alarmingly high, as per a report by Notre Affaire à Tous, an environmental NGO. The report, which scrutinized nearly 200 penal institutions across France, unveiled that every single one is susceptible to extreme weather conditions. These harsh conditions, including but not […]

In an effort to make communities more resilient in the face of post-disaster scenarios, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is taking proactive measures. These include raising buildings above floodplains to lessen the risk and impact of potential floods. This initiative comes in the wake of an executive order by President Joe Biden that broadened […]

Samsung has made waves in the tech world by announcing the launch of their new smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6, at the Galaxy Unpacked event in July 2024. These next-generation devices boast impressive features that are sure to capture the attention of tech enthusiasts worldwide. One of the […]

Elon Musk recently made headlines with the announcement of plans for a second individual to receive Neuralink’s experimental brain implant. This novel technology is often compared to a Fitbit or Apple Watch, but instead of monitoring physical activity, it is equipped with minuscule wires or electrodes that allow it to interact directly with the brain. […]

Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Plant phenology, the study of the timing of life cycle events in plants such as flowering, leaf-out, and fruiting, serves as a sensitive indicator of environmental changes. As the climate warms, these phenological events are occurring earlier in the year, disrupting the delicate balance of ecosystems. This shift is […]
