How a small amount of rare earth metal shapes the environmental impact of magnets

How a small amount of rare earth metal shapes the environmental impact of magnets Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Magnets for electric cars and wind turbines contain only a small amount of the rare earth metal dysprosium. Yet, this metal is responsible for a large share of the environmental impact and costs, according to research by environmental scientists Stellina Samuel, Robert Istrate and René Kleijn. The study is published in the journal Sustainable Production...

ESA selects two new scout-class missions

ESA selects two new scout-class missions Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor When it comes to understanding Earth and our changing environment, space is the place. Not only does it give us an overall holistic view of the planet below, but satellite-based imagery can transcend national boundaries and give us an understanding of key changes that often go unseen at ground level. Now, the European Space Agency (ESA) has chosen two new missions to address key questions in Earth...

Ocean collapse triggered ancient wildfires, research suggests

Ocean collapse triggered ancient wildfires, research suggests Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Research led by the University of Alabama found that widespread wildfires during one of Earth's ancient environmental crises did not trigger an ocean collapse but were a consequence of it. The study, published in Science Advances in April, revisits the Late Devonian period, when large parts of the coastal ocean became oxygen-depleted, disrupting marine ecosystems on a...

Probabilistic Data-Driven Modelling of Astrophysical Transients: The Neural Process Family for Ultrafast and Class-Agnostic Light Curve Reconstruction with NightLANP

Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Astrophysical observations from Earth are subject to weather, environmental, and scientific constraints that lead to sparse, irregular light curves. On the eve of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time, its dataset offers unprecedented opportunities for transient science. Yet a key challenge remains its cadence, sparse and irregular across six bands, limiting inference.

Former Dutch environmentalist who took controversial job at Tata Steel fired for far-right links

Dutch newspaper NRC revealed Pols had been a member of the far-right South African Afrikaner Studente Front (ASF) movement during his time as a student. Donald Pols, the former director of Milieudefensie, the Dutch branch of major environmental NGO "Friends of the Earth," sparked controversy last month when he accepted the position of Chief Sustainability Officer at multinational company Tata Steel. On Tuesday, however, Tata Steel announced the sudden termination of Pols's contract after...

Satellite images reveals mangroves rebounding worldwide — but here's why they could still 'drown'

Satellite images reveals mangroves rebounding worldwide — but here's why they could still 'drown' A new study finds mangrove forests are no longer shrinking worldwide, offering hope for coastal protection and climate resilience. But other research warns sea level rise could reduce their ability to store carbon. Mangrove forests, long considered among the world's most threatened ecosystems, are now showing signs of global rebound, a new study reports.
