Mizzou researchers help farmers prevent and manage livestock losses

University of Missouri-Columbia
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Farmers handle a wide range of responsibilities to keep operations running — and a routine but often overlooked duty is safely disposing of dead livestock. Left unattended, carcasses can spread disease and jeopardize entire herds or flocks.

Greenland shrinks slightly and is slowly drifting northwest

Technical University of Denmark
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Remarkable changes are taking place in Greenland these years, according to new research. The vast ice masses are warming and melting at an accelerating rate. At the same time, movements in the bedrock caused by the last ice age are reshaping the island. As a result, Greenland is increasingly subjected to twisting, pressure, and tension.
