Satellite data can help predict which of the worlds tropical forests are in trouble

Digital Trends: Satellites are great for communication, weather forecasting, and a number of other activities. Now there`s one application we havent previously come across - building up heat maps of the worlds tropical forests. When combined with some neat statistical tools, they can predict regions that might be in trouble. Thats the goal of a research project at Wageningen University in the Netherlands. It was recently described in a paper for the journal Nature Climate Change, entitled Remotely sensed...

New model is first to predict tree growth in earliest stages of tree life
2016-07-26 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] COLUMBIA, Mo. - Land managers, forestry professionals and conservationists seek to predict how trees will grow so they can better manage existing forests and regrow forests after logging operations. Previous tree growth models can reasonably predict how trees grow once they are about 20 years old and achieve “crown closure” with the trees in the forest around them. Crown closure occurs when trees in a specific area grow wide and tall enough that their canopies connect. N…
NASA Scientists Predict Another All-Time Heat Record For 2016
2016-07-19 22:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: During the 12 months from May 2015 to May 2016, each month set an all-time heat record. That's on average around the world. Some places were not record breakers, but overall, global warming is increasing. NASA scientists talk about what the rest of this year may look like, and whether it will set yet another global record.

Scientists use climate, population changes to predict diseases
2016-06-13 01:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: British scientists say they have developed a model that can predict outbreaks of zoonotic diseases those such as Ebola and Zika that jump from animals to humans based on changes in climate. Describing their model as "a major improvement in our understanding of the spread of diseases from animals to people", the researchers said it could help governments prepare for and respond to disease outbreaks, and to factor in their risk when making policies that might affect the environment. "Our...
