Researchers from UVM have leveraged the power of continental scale water modeling and artificial intelligence to provide water quality forecasts across the country. Their findings offer a new application of the National Water Model, creating a pathway towards a national capacity to forecast water quality. Leveraging this new technology will allow public drinking water suppliers and operators nationwide to anticipate potential water quality disruptions with greater confidence.
In recent years, China has been rapidly advancing the development of its low-altitude economy, with 2024 being recognized as the "Year One" of low-altitude economy in China. Driven by policy support and technological innovation, China’s low-altitude economy is expected to grow into a trillion-yuan industry in 2025, positioning itself as a key driver of economic transformation and industrial upgrading. This rapid expansion presents both opportunities and challenges for Geographic Information Science and Technology, which plays a crucial role in optimizing airspace management and supporting UAV-based applications. A research team from the State Key Laboratory of Resources and Environmental Information System, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, carried out a comprehensive review on the opportunities and challenges for Geographic Information Science and Technology in this evolving field. Their study provides valuable insights into the role of geographic information technologies in supporting low-altitude economic activities, particularly in the areas of airspace resource utilization, air traffic infrastructure, and UAV operation management. The study offers a scientific foundation for advancing geographic information applications in this field. Journal of Geo-information Science has published the study.
Dr. Melissa Perreault, neuroscientist and professor at the University of Guelph, is breaking new ground by integrating Indigenous perspectives into neuroscience. In a Genomic Press Interview, she shares her personal and professional journey, exploring how her research on neuropsychiatric biomarkers, psychedelic medicine, and neuroethics can drive personalized treatments and create a more inclusive scientific future.
For the first time in the world, the molecular structure of the motor component that powers the gliding apparatus of Mycoplasma mobile, one of the few mycoplasma bacteria that can move, has been revealed by an Osaka Metropolitan University-led research team using cryo-electron microscopy.
