South Pole satellites to bolster climate change accuracy
A South Pole snowfield is to become the most analysed spot on earth this month as a global network of scientists train more than 30 satellites on the area to calibrate their sensor equipment. The exercise, which could have major implications for risk management professionals and insurance firms the world over, will increase the reliability of orbiting monitoring equipment to deliver more accurate data on climate change. Researchers from space agencies around the globe, coordinated by the UK`s National Physical Laboratory (NPL), will cross-reference their test results to determine for the first ... |

New soil map for African farmers
Responding to sub-Saharan Africa`s soil health crisis, the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) announced this week an ambitious new effort to produce the first-ever, detailed digital soil map for all 42 countries of the region. This project combines the latest soil science and technology with remote satellite imagery and on-the-ground efforts to analyze thousands of soil samples from remote areas across the continent to help provide solutions for poor farmers, who suffer from chronically low-yielding crops largely because of degraded soils.
Efforts to improve African soils, ... |
