Space lasers, AI used by geospatial scientist to measure forest biomass

2 weeks ago | eurekalert.org | John Lovett

By John LovettUniversity of Arkansas System Division of AgricultureArkansas Agricultural Experiment StationFAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Satellite data used by archaeologists to find traces of ancient ruins hidden under dense forest canopies can also be used to improve the speed and accuracy to measure how much carbon is retained and released in forests.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Melisa Diaz, an associate professor in earth sciences and the principal investigator of the Polar and Environmental Geochemistry Lab at The Ohio State University, has been named a 2025–2027 CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholar. She is the first Ohio State scholar and one of only 12 researchers selected this year for this prestigious honor, which supports the next generation of research leaders tackling global challenges.
Creatine is safe, effective and important for everyone, longtime researcher says

2 weeks ago | eurekalert.org | Caitlin Clark

Creatine, the supplement popular with athletes for its ability to help build strength and power, is increasingly being recognized for its broad health benefits. The compound’s usefulness extends well beyond the gym, according to Dr. Richard Kreider, professor and director of the Exercise & Sport Nutrition Lab at Texas A&M University.
Study reveals how fatal school shootings disrupt local economies

3 weeks ago | eurekalert.org | Caitlin Clark

A new multi-university study co-authored by Texas A&M University’s Dr. Shrihari Sridhar and alumnus Dr. Muzeeb Shaik of Indiana University reveals that fatal school shootings have far-reaching consequences beyond the immediate tragedy, altering daily life and disrupting economies in affected communities for months.
Study helps pinpoint areas where microplastics will accumulate

3 weeks ago | eurekalert.org | David Chandler

The accumulation of microplastics in the environment, and within our bodies, is an increasingly worrisome issue. But predicting where these ubiquitous particles will accumulate, and therefore where remediation efforts should be focused, has been difficult because of the many factors that contribute to their dispersal and deposition. New research from MIT shows that one key factor in determining where microparticles are likely to build up has to do with the presence of biofilms.
A potential ‘anti-spice’ that could dial down the heat of fiery food

1 month ago | eurekalert.org | Emily Caldwell

COLUMBUS, Ohio – If you’ve ever regretted ordering a spicy meal, take note: A new study identifying molecules that suppress the heat of chili peppers hints at the possibility of adapting these compounds into an “anti-spice” condiment for food that’s too fiery to eat.
Imaging technique removes the effect of water in underwater scenes

1 month ago | eurekalert.org | Jennifer Chu

The ocean is teeming with life. But unless you get up close, much of the marine world can easily remain unseen. That’s because water itself can act as an effective cloak: Light that shines through the ocean can bend, scatter, and quickly fade as it travels through the dense medium of water and reflects off the persistent haze of ocean particles. This makes it extremely challenging to capture the true color of objects in the ocean without imaging them at close range.
Thousands of animal species threatened by climate change, novel analysis finds | EurekAlert!

A novel analysis suggests more than 3,500 animal species are threatened by climate change and also sheds light on huge gaps in fully understanding the risk to the animal kingdom.
How to solve a bottleneck for CO2 capture and conversion

1 month ago | eurekalert.org | David Chandler

Removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere efficiently is often seen as a crucial need for combatting climate change, but systems for removing carbon dioxide suffer from a tradeoff. Chemical compounds that efficiently remove CO₂ from the air do not easily release it once captured, and compounds that release CO₂ efficiently are not very efficient at capturing it. Optimizing one part of the cycle tends to make the other part worse.
San Diego researchers to study and improve new AI learning tool | EurekAlert!
