Bartın Üniversitesi (BARÜ) öncülüğünde iklim değişikliği üzerine 3 yıldır sürdürülen TÜBİTAK’ın desteklediği proje kapsamında, su kıtlığı ve arazi tahribatı haritası hazırlandı. Proje yürütücüsü BARÜ Orman Fakültesi Öğretim Üyesi Prof. Dr. Ayhan Ateşoğlu, “Haritaların bir sonraki aşamada özellikle iklim değişikliği temelinde, arazi ve arazi kullanımına yönelik farklılıklara da destek vereceğini söyleyebiliriz. Haritalar sadece ormancılık değil, tarım, ...

Evidence indicates a thick ice sheet, not annual sea ice and icebergs, covered the Arctic Ocean at some point during the last 140,000 years. Now, University of Alaska Fairbanks scientists will be looking for more geologic proof of the ice sheet’s existence, sources, behavior and extent. UAF Geophysical Institute scientists will focus on the Beaufort ...

A new study, led by University of Florida forest management researcher Victoria Donovan, found that as woody plants like shrubs and trees replace herbaceous plants like grasses, spot fires can occur farther away from the original fire perimeter. This “woody encroachment” is not only a major issue in grasslands where the study takes place, but ...

Satellite-derived bathymetry continues to advance and improve rapidly. A recent scientific study has confirmed the effectiveness of a methodology developed to obtain bathymetric data from satellite images in the Western Mediterranean. The results of this research, published in the prestigious International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, reaffirm the value of this tool for ...

A team of atmospheric and climatic scientists from several institutions in Europe has found that even if all human management of forestry land stopped immediately, it would not be sufficient to offset global carbon emissions. In their study, reported in the journal Science, the group used mapping and AI applications to model how much forest ...
