Feature: UCL leads first expedition to remote island’s lava lake
A team led by Dr Emma Nicholson climbed the summit of an active volcano on a remote, sub-Antarctic island, confirming the existence of a lava lake within its crater. Now they're back, analysing their data to better understand volcanoes and their environmental impacts. Mount Michael is a volcano shrouded in mystery.

Bio-inspired innovation: towards a circular campus by learning from nature
By studying how nature solves problems, we can create a society that truly cares for the earth. Jaco Appelman , researcher at Utrecht University, is sure of it. At the university, this approach, summarized in the term 'bio-inspired innovation', is being put into practice. The university's Corporate Real Estate & Campus office is working with Appelman and PhD candidate Katharina Hecht , among others, to give the concept a place within the future development of the Utrecht Science Park.

EPFL hones efforts to ensure new technology is sustainable
The environmental sustainability of up-and-coming technology is among the issues addressed by EPFL's International Risk Governance Center (IRGC). The Center aims to develop a number of best practices and decision-making guidelines in this area. Much of the new technology coming out of labs today is directly intended to protect the environment, whether by fighting climate change, preserving biodiversity or improving sustainability.
