Mars rover Curiosity finally arrives at its primary science target: Mount Sharp
2014-09-12 16:16:03| Extremetech
After two years on the surface of Mars, Curiosity has finally reached its primary science destination: the foot of Mount Sharp, or to give its official name Aeolis Mons. It will now slowly climb Mount Sharp, drilling into rocks and analyzing a series of interesting boundaries between different strata -- layers of geologically interesting rock that have found their way to the surface and can tell us a lot about the history of the Red Planet.

Science is driving new plans for disaster risk reduction
2014-09-05 14:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
SciDevNet: Science is a driving force behind international disaster risk reduction (DRR) and is prominent in a preliminary blueprint for a future framework, says a member of the team leading the process. The ten-year global plan that sets out how various sectors can work to reduce losses from disasters, known as the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA), ends in 2015. During more than 100 consultations held since 2012 to draft a replacement plan, science has consistently been highlighted as important for good...
