Restored wetlands reap benefits for climate, drought-resilience after just one year: study
Reviving floodplain wetlands slashes carbon emissions by 39% and restores critical ecosystem functions in one year – without the methane spike typically seen in restored peatlands, a new study has found.
Wastewater contaminants boost green hydrogen production
Research led by RMIT University has developed an experimental invention to turn wastewater’s high contaminant load into an advantage for making green hydrogen that could reduce reliance on fresh water – a scarce resource in many parts of the world.
Quantum battery device lasts much longer than previous demonstrations
Researchers from RMIT University and CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, have unveiled a method to significantly extend the lifetime of quantum batteries – 1,000 times longer than previous demonstrations.
Sea urchin cull could deliver $92 million in ecosystem benefits: study
Restoring Port Phillip Bay’s dwindling kelp forests by culling overgrazing sea urchins would deliver more than $92 million in benefits, a new study has found.
