Landfills are a large driver of the climate crisis due to their high methane leaks. A recent study found methane emissions from landfills were 40% higher than reported. Advanced methods like remote sensing can help detect and fix landfill methane leaks faster. Methane leaks from landfills were, on average, 40% higher than what's been reported to the federal government, according to a study published in the journal Science. Many large landfills capture methane gas so it can be reused as energy, but that infrastructure can leak.

Greenland’s expansive ice sheet is known to be shrinking, especially since the 1990s, because of warming from climate change. It’s a fate shared by the Antarctic Ice Sheet as well as glaciers around the world. Now, a new study reveals that about 20 percent more of the Greenland ice sheet has disappeared than previous estimates show. The missing ice has been breaking and melting from the ends of glaciers around Greenland’s perimeter. “Almost every glacier in Greenland is retreating.

Through tens of thousands of iterations, the study team tracked how the virus affected species diversity of a bacterial community. About 1% of the ancient viruses caused major disruptions to the digital ecosystems. The pathogen either increased diversity by up to 12% or, conversely, decreased species diversity by 32%. The role of carbon emissionsModern organisms, including humans, have few, if any, natural defense mechanisms for ancient pathogens. If ancient pathogens did somehow manage to escape, they would have trouble finding people to infect.

A Canadian lake best charts humanity’s impact on Earth

Fossils embedded in rock reveal intriguing details about animals, plants and other life-forms that once called Earth home. ConsequencesCrawford Lake in Ontario is the geological site that best reflects a new epoch recognizing the impact of human activity on Earth, said geologists of the Anthropocene Working Group. The Anthropocene Working Group determined in 2016 that the epoch began around 1950 — the start of the era of nuclear testing. The international research group says that Crawford Lake in Ontario best charts humanity’s impact on Earth. Back then, it took 10 hours to relay a single image to Earth — incredibly slow by today’s standards.

The helicopter had landed out of range from the Perseverance rover, which allows it to talk to Earth. The duo landed on the red planet on Feb. 18, 2021 for the first time. NASA said Ingenuity's signal cut out on April 26 thanks to a hill that separated the helicopter from the Perseverance rover. On June 28, the rover finally made it over the hill, giving the helicopter the signal it needed to contact NASA mission control. But the next day, the helicopter successfully completed its 50th flight on the red planet.

The former supervisor at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab now works at AV startup Zoox. I figured after all the startups, why not work for a big company, and what better big company than NASA? ZooxThe AV space is the next frontier of robotics. What we're trying to do here in the AV space, it's extremely multidisciplinary. You're doing perception, you're doing planning, you're doing prediction, doing simulation.
Опубликована новая обзорная панорама Марса в высоком качестве со звуками Красной планеты. Панорама опубликована на YouTube-канале NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Снимки были сделаны в период с 15 по 26 апреля 2021 года. Аудиозапись звуков Марса была записана 22 февраля 2021 года. Рассмотреть двухмерную интерактивную панораму Марса можно на сайте NASA.

But then a member of the Facebook group LitRPG Books posted a review to the group and tagged Krout. Group members took an interest in the book, and he made $5,000 in book sales in the month after it was published. So those earnings from the book sales got his full attention. By the end of 2017, he'd made more than $82,000 on Amazon book sales alone, plus more income from audio-book sales and non-Amazon revenue streams such as Patreon. AdvertisementTo keep that interaction going over Facebook, Krout joined other Facebook groups beyond the LitRPG group.
