Solar Power Canopy Over Water Canal Now Generating Electricity
A solar power canopy situated over an irrigation canal near Turlock, California, is generating enough electricity to power several thousand homes. There are actually two solar canopies operating now, and they both are a part of a pilot study called “Project Nexus.” “We’re very excited. So the narrow span and … [continued]

London researchers’ work helps improve prostate cancer treatment
A multi-centre study whose leads include London-based researchers has found a new imaging solution that can more effectively detect the recurrence of prostate cancer and is linked to improved survival rates.
Island Ports Enable Long-Distance Electric Shipping
International shipping contributes to CO2, NO2, and SO2 emissions. Pollution from Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), colloquially termed bunker fuel, has long been considered a problem. Heavy Fuel Oil has high sulfur content, and the global shipping industry produces 12% and 13% respectively of global SO2 and NO2 emissions, contributing a … [continued]

‘Dig in and get my hands dirty’: New book explores citizen scientists and their contributions to the Wolf-Moose Project
By Isabella Figueroa
In his new book “Dead Moose on Isle Royale: Off Trail with the Citizen Scientists of the Wolf-Moose Project,” Jeffery Holden turns decades of volunteer field notes and short essays into an off-trail narrative about the people who sustain one of ecology’s longest-running studies. The Wolf-Moose Project at Isle Royale National Park started with scientists from Purdue University, Durward Allen and L. David Mech, in 1958. Since then, volunteers have collected data through on-the-ground fieldwork and built a six-decade record that reveals how climate, disease and food availability shape population cycles.

It’s Time To Create Respectful National Flood Relocation Planning
Three years ago I wrote about a member of the Jean Charles Choctaw Nation named Theresa “Betty” Billiot. She reminisced about how the area around her Louisiana home was once filled with cattle grazing in pastures, cotton fields, and wild prairie dotted with duck ponds. That strong memory is fleeting, … [continued]
