| How land birds cross the open ocean Posted: 07 Sep 2021 05:39 PM PDT Migrating birds choose routes with the best wind and uplift conditions, helping them to fly nonstop for hundreds of kilometers over the sea. |
| Insect protein has great potential to reduce the carbon footprint of European consumers Posted: 07 Sep 2021 05:39 PM PDT The use of insects as food for humans and animals has both the potential to reduce European consumers' carbon footprint and contribute to reducing incentives for continued soybean cultivation in the Amazon rainforest. However, when compared to feeding insects to farm animals, the direct human consumption of insects has the biggest potential to reduce our consumption-based carbon footprint. |
| Officials leading hurricane response need ‘risk literacy’ Posted: 07 Sep 2021 01:06 PM PDT New research shows that the most numerate officials were almost twice as likely as less numerate ones to provide additional evacuation times to their coastal communities during a hurricane. Less numerate ones, on the other hand, gave their communities less advance warning, and when they finally did issue evacuations, over-evacuated tens of thousands more people. |
| New filtering method promises safer drinking water, improved industrial production Posted: 06 Sep 2021 12:14 PM PDT Researchers create thin film polymer membranes capable of separating fluoride from chloride and other ions. Targeted ion selectivity by the filtering membranes could have important implications for water purification, environmental remediation and industrial production. |
