Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by a parasite that spreads from bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. If left untreated in humans, malaria can cause severe symptoms, health complications and even death.
Climate models are some of the most complex pieces of software ever written, able to simulate a vast number of different parts of the overall system, such as the atmosphere or ocean. Many have been developed by hundreds of scientists over decades and are constantly being added to and refined. They can run to over a million lines of computer code—tens of thousands of printed pages.
A new study co-authored by Yale sociologist Nicholas A. Christakis demonstrates that tapping into the dynamics of friendship significantly improves the possibility that a community will adopt public health and other interventions aimed at improved human well-being.
Climate change will cause an increase in extreme winter storms combining strong winds and heavy rainfall over the UK and Ireland, new research has shown.
Helltides in Diablo 4 Season 4 will be going through a major revamp, so here's everything you need to know about it.
Earth System Models—complex computer models that describe Earth processes and how they interact—are critical for predicting future climate change. By simulating the response of our land, oceans and atmosphere to manmade greenhouse gas emissions, these models form the foundation for predictions of future extreme weather and climate event scenarios, including those issued by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
ALTOONA, Pa. — A series of events, including a public open house, will be held next weekend to show the progress on building a 21st-century recreation of the Pennsylvania Railroad’s T1-class 4-4-4-4 streamlined steam locomotive. The nonprofit Pennsylvania Railroad T1 Steam Locomotive Trust will display its 64-foot-long, 35-ton fabricated frame at the Blair County Convention []Read More
The research, which has been published in top-tier scientific journals such as Nature and Science, presents a comprehensive analysis of various mitigation strategies, including carbon capture and storage, renewable energy integration, and nature-based solutions. Through cutting-edge modeling techniques and extensive data analysis, the study demonstrates the efficacy and scalability of these strategies in significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. "We are at a critical juncture in the fight...
This story was originally published by Grist and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Last fall, I invited a stranger into my yard. Manzanita, with its peeling red bark and delicate pitcher-shaped blossoms, thrives on the dry, rocky ridges of Northern California. The small, evergreen tree or shrub is famously drought-tolerant, with some varieties capable […]
In an effort to help fund local youth-focused sustainability projects, Rickenmann says the city will provide micro-grants between $1,500 and $5,000 to approved applicants.
The cost of inaction against climate change could reach P1.4 trillion by 2030, or about eight percent of the 2020 gross domestic product, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources said yesterd
Researchers at the University of Washington have announced the development of a new type of PCB with significantly higher recycling potential than traditional printed circuits. Utilizing cutting-edge sustainable polymers, these new PCBs have the potential to address a substantial portion of the world's e-waste issues if widely adopted.Read Entire Article
