A technique to cool the planet, in which particles are added to the atmosphere to reflect sunlight, would not require developing special aircraft but could be achieved using existing large planes, according to a new modelling study led by UCL researchers. Previously, most research has assumed that the technique, known as stratospheric aerosol injection, would be deployed in the tropics and so would require specially designed aircraft capable of flying at altitudes of 20km or more to inject the particles.

According to a study by the University of Bonn, droughts caused the country to rise by six millimeters between 2012 and 2020 South Africa is slowly lifting out of the water - by up to two millimeters per year depending on the region. It had been assumed up to now that this phenomenon was due to mantle flow in the Earth's crust.

Avalanche bulletin and snow situation To enhance biodiversity across aquatic and terrestrial systems, natural areas of high ecological value need to be interconnected. However, the necessary collaboration between different stakeholders is often lacking, particularly in urban areas. This is shown by a new study as part of the Blue-Green Biodiversity research initiative.

Everything Flows: Refining the Laws of Friction in Caltech’s ’Seismological Wind Tunnel’
Imagine a heavy book resting on a table. If you try to gently push the book across the table with the tip of your finger, it may first appear to remain motionless-it needs a lot more force to start sliding visibly. Similarly, if you slowly start tilting the table upward, the book still appears to remain motionless, sticking to the table through friction until the table's tilt reaches some critical angle and the book suddenly slides down.
