Investigating wildlife trade crimes has become easier thanks to advancements in science and technology. One of the most promising methods is stable isotope analysis (SIA). This technique is proving to be a game-changer in identifying species, pinpointing where animals come from, and telling the diff
Ever thought about how hospitals could help save the planet? Well, they're starting to do just that! Hospitals are big places, and they use lots of energy. This means they also produce a lot of carbon emissions, which hurt the environment. But now, many hospitals are trying to change that. They're a
Biodiversity is key to keeping ecosystems healthy and achieving sustainable goals. But, unfortunately, biodiversity loss is a global issue. Researchers used data from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the Eora database to calculate biodiversity loss in 188 countries. They
Think of farming as a giant puzzle with pieces that change every day. Weather plays a big role in how crops grow. Scientists are using artificial intelligence (AI) to make predictions easier. They fed a huge dataset of soybean hybrids into two different AI models: one using something called convolut
Imagine a group of scientists trying to understand climate anxiety, but none of them use the same ruler. Weird, right? That's what's happening today. Scientists are measuring this worry in 12 different ways, with 119 symptoms spread across 57 categories. They don't match up well, and that makes unde
In the fast-paced world of today, climate change is making waves in the hydrological cycle. This study looked at two paths for carbon emissions: "low-carbon" and "high-carbon. " Using the SWAT model, they checked runoff changes in the Mang River Basin for the next few decades (2021-2060) and the end
Soil temperature (ST) plays a crucial role in understanding environmental conditions and supporting crop growth. In a recent study, scientists used four machine learning methods to estimate daily ST at different depths (5 cm, 15 cm, and 30 cm) in Bathinda, India, between 2016 and 2019. The methods i
The European Union has been exploring how foreign direct investment (FDI) and energy use affect the recycling rates across its member states from 2000 to 2021. Interestingly, money coming in from other countries (inflow) can boost local productivity but might cut down on recycling efforts. This is b
Have you ever wondered what drives the population of disease-carrying mosquitoes, like Aedes aegypti, along the U. S. -Mexico border? This mosquito species, known for spreading viruses like dengue, Chikungunya, Zika, and yellow fever, is becoming more common in temperate regions. Our study aimed to
India has been struggling to make progress on the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) since 2020. The impact of not achieving these goals can be quite severe, so it's important to figure out what steps can be taken to speed up India's progress. One potential solution could be increa
