. We also found that 0.90% of all terrestrial biodiversity hotspots (Supplementary Note6), which are the world’s most biologically rich yet threatened terrestrial regions24, were urbanized in 2015. And this proportion (0.90%) is higher than that located in the rest of the Earth’s surface (...
“Other search engines thought of mapping as something you print out and take with you in your car–like Mapquest,” says Hanke at the American Geographical Society’s Geography 2050 conference in New York. “[Google] bought into this vision that we had of assembling all the world’s ...
model could potentially be used to identify conditions that raise the risks of wildfires and predict hurricanes and droughts. An earlier model built through the IBM-NASA partnership became a tool to help scientists map urban heat islands in the United Arab Emirates and monitor reforestation in ...

Second, the world will get warmer and some governments won’t prioritize the long-term measures needed to deal with climate change, even though science offers us a road-map to a low-carbon future. (科学家们对未来的预测能力很差。但可以自信地预测两种趋势。首先,世界将变得更加拥挤。到2050年,...
Urbanization and climate change are together exacerbating water scarcity—where water demand exceeds availability—for the world’s cities. We quantify global urban water scarcity in 2016 and 2050 under four socioeconomic and climate change scenarios, an
A map of the changes in AHE from the 2010s to 2050 s is shown in Fig. 6c with the color range of visualized AHE reduced for visibility. Large projected increases in AHE are located in Asia, Africa, and some countries in South America and North America. In the United States, the ...
