What’s the best way to protect nature and restore what has been lost? A series of new scientific papers offer conflicting views on whether efforts should focus on individual species or ecosystems and point to the role human inhabitants can play in conserving landscapes. Read more on E360 ?.

The rotation of the Earth has been affected over the past 25 years by the rapid melting of glaciers caused by climate change, according to a study done by scientists in China and Denmark. Using satellite data and modelling, the team has shown that the melting of glaciers has caused an eastward shift in the position of the true North Pole and South Pole that began in 1995.

I was in a great Clubhouse room earlier this week that addressed sustainable living. While there was a lot of discussion around the typical - and VERY needed - reduction of energy, waste and water, I pondered on how to frame the discussion differently, since we all process information idiosyncratically. The 3M framework discussed below provides a different lens to approaching environmental sustainability and sustainable living.

Mind reading has long been relegated to the realm of science fiction. But, with the power of electrodes, researchers are able to detect and monitor neurological signals to gain insight into the activity of the brain. One of the most exciting applications of this technology is the brain–computer interface (BCI). BCIs that aim to digitize thought patterns – such as the intention to move – could help individuals with loss of motor function, including patients with severe neurological disease or spi

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

We humans are not blessed with a reliable intuition for the laws of nature. Many of today’s scientific axioms have had to pass through what the British scientist John Haldane once described as the four stages of acceptance for scientific ideas: from nonsense, to interesting but perverse, to true but unimportant, to “I always said so.” In Seven Pillars of Science: the Incredible Lightness of Ice and Other Scientific Surprises , bestselling science author John Gribbin describes seven important fou

Mark your calendars for City Nature Challenge 2021! The CNC is a friendly global competition where residents of more than 300 cities compete to see who can record the most wildlife. From April 30 to May 3, we’ll be documenting the plants, animals and fungi in Philadelphia and surrounding counties in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Identification phase runs from May 4 to May 9 before results are announced on May 10.

I noted in yesterday’s post about the NHTSA proposal to withdraw the SAFE I Rule that EPA was expected to follow the NHTSA action by restoring the Clean Air Act Section 209 waiver for California’s Advanced Clean Car program. The ink was barely dry on the post when EPA released a Notice that was considering doing just that. I have always thought that EPA’s waiver withdrawal stood on very shaky ground – shakier even than the NHTSA preemption argument made in the SAFE I rule.

California real estate is desirable. I own property there. Zillow teaches us that it has the most valuable land in America with a Zillow average price of $644,000 in April 2021. The national Zillow price is $276,000. Is this difference caused by supply or demand? Over the years, I have written several papers about what makes a place such as California so desirable (and thus featuring high demand).
