- First mammal species succumbs to climate change Thu, 16 Jun 16, 3:30amScientists from Australia's University of Queensland and the Queensland government suspect the Bramble Cay melomys, a small rodent likely only found on the island of Bramble Cay, is the first species to go extinct because...
- Could maglev hovering homes be the answer to rising sea levels? Mon, 4 Apr 16, 10:00pmMagnetic levitation (aka “maglev”) technology mostly associated with high-speed trains, but could someday cross over into the world of architecture...
- James Hansen warns dangerous effects of climate change could hit much sooner than we think Wed, 23 Mar 16, 9:00pmLast year a working paper led by retired NASA scientist James Hansen incited controversy, and today the final version of the research is stirring debate once again...
- Paul Lukez Architecture and team are designing a self-sustaining, resilient coastal community near Boston Thu, 24 Dec 15, 5:30amThe proposal is called HydroUrbanism: Harnessing Energy from Rising Tides. In essence, the PLA-led team looked at the harsh reality of rising sea levels and searched until they saw opportunities instead of just impending...
- West Antarctica ice will melt completely, it’s just a question of when Thu, 5 Nov 15, 6:01amWe all know that melting glaciers are contributing to rising sea levels worldwide, but so far, that’s been a gradual process. However, the outlook for coastal areas around the globe could get pretty grim in a relatively...
- One of the world’s largest glaciers just lost the biggest chunk of ice ever recorded Fri, 28 Aug 15, 2:50amNASA satellites are pretty nifty, in large part because they capture world events that we might not know about otherwise. That’s what happened recently, when NASA’s Landsat 8 recorded the image above on August 16 of...
