A research initiative, funded by NASA and the Army Corps of Engineers, is underway to study permafrost thaw in Alaska and its significant impacts on the environment. This project aims to understand the landforms created by thawing permafrost, how it affects methane emissions and whether the rate of permafrost thaw is accelerating. Leading this research ...

The Chinese Academy of Sciences and Wuhan University are conducting a sky-ground scientific experiment to test the condition of glaciers in the Haibei Tibetan autonomous prefecture in Northwest Qinghai province. The experiment has applied radars in three bands — P-band, L-band and Very High Frequency — and undertaken 11 flights, among which seven carried out ...

Combined with California’s large population, long history of drought and tendency to be battered by nearly every form of climate change, massive groundwater pumping is aggravating water scarcity, said Xuechen Yang, lead author of the case study and a graduate student in earth sciences at The Ohio State University. “By 2025, more than 5 billion ...

Tesmec’s mobile mapping system, announced at bauma 2022, is a lidar scanner that is designed to be placed atop their georadar explorer 2.0, a ground probing radar system. With this attachment on the top of the radar system, users are able to detect underground utilities using the ground probing radar while simultaneously capturing high-precision digital ...
