More accurate predictions expected to enhance disaster prevention, mitigation efforts. Chinese scientists have recently proposed a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-based model to address streamflow and flood forecasting at a global scale for both gauged and ungauged catchments which remains one of the long-standing challenges in hydrology, given that more than 95 percent of small- and medium-sized watersheds worldwide do not have any monitoring data.  In light of global climate change, the […]

Wind & solar: Fastest-growing electricity sources in history

May 14, 2024 CEN_com 0

Wind and solar are growing faster than any other sources of electricity in history, according to new analysis from thinktank Ember. Clean capacity expansion The report says that wind and solar are now growing fast enough to exceed rising demand, meaning there will be a peak in fossil fuel electricity generation – and emissions – from this year. As a result, Ember says in its latest annual review of global electricity data that a […]

China’s air cleaner as NOx levels fall

May 13, 2024 CEN_com 0

A recent study published in the journal Environmental Science and Ecotechnology has revealed a significant decline in nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from human activities in China since 2020. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) form aerosols and ozone in the atmosphere and are significant contributors to air pollution, acid rain and climate change. The research was conducted by a team of scientists from China and France. The study employed satellite observations and air quality modeling […]
