Automated, satellite-based volcano monitoring

...energy – spectral emissivity is seldom measured and is mostly assumed or estimated. Nonetheless, it is a critical variable in space-borne volcano monitoring due to its close relationship with Land Surface Temperature (LST) values and the inherent impact on the estimate of mass eruption rates. To fill this gap in knowledge, we designed a multi-stage experiment to measure...

Nuclear transboundary consultations are a test for public participation and transparency across Europe

...energy transition strategies and allocating the financial resources needed for decommissioning of outdated reactors, governments inside and outside the EU, often pushed by the nuclear industry’s lobbyists, choose to extend the lifetime of nuclear reactors beyond the expiration date of their licences. OF BELGIUM'S SEVEN NUCLEAR UNITS, THREE (DOEL 1 AND 2 AND TIHANGE 1)...

Here, more but different bacteria thrive in a similar way. And here, too, more crustaceans, but quite different species from those around the hot vents in the Atlantic. These are...

...energy reflection solution cells tissue Comment In everyday language, these words are regularly used in ways that can vary quite a bit from their scientific meaning. For example, you might hear ‘she’s got so much energy’ or ‘I caught my reflection in the shop window’, while these words are used for quite specific purposes in biology and physics. It is possible...

...energy and food prices (Weber and Wasner, 2023). Many workers, including post office staff, nurses, traffic wardens and teachers, went on strike to demand an increase in their salaries that reflected high inflation rates. On the other side of the negotiating table, however, employers argued that they could not afford to increase workers’ wages, as they would be enduring...

...energy is also released in the process, which is what creates the heat and light that comes from the Sun. Figure 2 The Sun, then, is a gigantic sphere with a core of burning gas. The core is about 50 times as dense as rock, and has a temperature of 15 million K. The surface of the Sun is much cooler, only about 5800 K! You may not be familiar with the abbreviation ‘K’...

...energy prices in 2007 and 2008 ENERGY TYPE 2007 2008 Gas (£/MWh) 24 29 Electricity (£/MWh) 76 87 If we were interested in looking at the change in price of just one of these fuels, say gas, things would be relatively straightforward. For instance, it might well be appropriate to look at the increase in price as a percentage of the price in 2007. Activity 14...
