We also implement a cloud computing solution based on the microservice architecture that allows the monitoring of natural resources such as water, soil, and vegetation using satellite products provided by SentinelHub. The images are processed to obtain NDWI (Normalized Difference Water), BSI (Bare ...
China has natural resources estimated to be worth $23 trillion.1Ninety percent of China's resources are coal and rare earth metals. Timber is another major natural resource found in the country, as is arable land. Also, due to its natural resource of water, it has the world's greatest hy...
In the context of natural resource degradation, migration can act as means of adaptation both for those leaving and those supported by remittances. Migration can also result from an inability to adapt in-situ, with people forced to move, sometimes to situations of worse or of the same exposure...
The worldwide distribution and water supply of water towers (snowy or glacierized mountain ranges) is indexed, showing that the most important water towers are also the most vulnerable to socio-economic and climate-change stresses, with huge potential negative impacts on populations downstream. ...
as stewards of this planet, humans must be careful to never take too much. Some resources, like oil, are non-renewable, and still others, like drinkable water, are becoming increasingly scarce as its population rises increasingly into the billions. The list below shows some of the most import...
Nutrient-rich seawater from the southern ocean mixes with tannin-rich river water, creating a unique environment for an array of red seaweeds, sponge gardens, fish and invertebrates you’d usually have to venture into much deeper water to see. Image credit: Getty Imag...

It has been previously shown that devices based on microbial biofilms can generate hydrovoltaic energy from water evaporation. However, the potential of hydrovoltaic energy as an energy source for microbial growth has remained unexplored. Here, we show t
Lake surface temperatures are projected to increase under climate change, which could trigger shifts in the future distribution of thermally sensitive aquatic species. Of particular concern for lake ecosystems are when temperatures increase outside the r
