Australian Broadcast Corpation: Researchers from Flinders University say bees are an important indicator of a changing global climate and making best use of them is the key to future food security. Adelaide PhD student Scott Groom has used mathematical modelling to determine changes in bee populations across the South Pacific region over the past 20,000 years. "We see a really large decline in bee populations that coincides with the last glacial maximum (ice age), at which time we had lowering sea levels and everything getting...

Google's mapping power harnessed to tackle global deforestation
2014-02-21 01:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: A major initiative has been launched this week under the banner Global Forest Watch, promising to use advanced satellite and analytics technology to lead a new crackdown on illegal deforestation. The project, orchestrated by the World Resources Institute (WRI), Google and a group of 40 businesses and NGOs, aims to harness the latest satellite tracking technology and "open data" models to provide "near-real time" information on tree cover loss. The group hopes that providing free access to monthly...
