The western Oregon Cascades, a critical water source for the Pacific Northwest, are facing a growing challenge: forest fires are making snowpack more vulnerable to rapid melting during midwinter rain-on-snow events. According to new research publishe

Vincent Haagmans and his team at the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF in Davos, Switzerland, have peeled back another layer of the intricate relationship between forests and snow in the central European Alps. Their findings, publishe

The underground coal gasification (UCG) process, a method of extracting energy from coal without traditional mining, holds significant promise for China’s energy transition. According to research led by Lin Xin from the College of Safety and Environm

Dan Ma and his team at the Key Laboratory of Deep Coal Resource Mining in Xuzhou have uncovered a promising pathway to address two critical challenges in the energy sector: harnessing geothermal energy from coal mines while ensuring structural stabil

In a quiet corner of Indonesia’s petrochemical landscape, a team of researchers has quietly cracked open a door to a future where bioplastics could challenge the dominance of oil-based polymers. Led by Muhammad Zulfikar Luthfi at the Politeknik Indus

The race to meet global carbon reduction targets is pushing the energy sector into uncharted territory—particularly in shale reservoirs, where a promising yet understudied opportunity lies. A recent study published in *Duankuai youqitian* (translated

Azerbaijan’s agricultural sector has undergone a remarkable transformation in the past two decades, with output surging more than ninefold since 2000. But behind this growth lies a growing strain on the country’s natural resources, according to a new

Nepal’s farmers are quietly redefining agriculture—not with the latest high-tech inputs, but by reviving age-old practices that work with nature rather than against it. According to a new study led by Joshi Bal Krishna of Nepal’s National Genebank, n

Deep underground, where the weight of the Earth presses down with crushing force, coal seams hold vast energy reserves—but also immense danger. For mining operators, the deeper they go, the greater the risk of catastrophic rockbursts and earthquakes

Midhat Kh. Akhtyamov, a researcher at the Far Eastern State University of Railways, has developed a series of innovative devices designed to tackle one of the most persistent environmental challenges of our time: oil spills on water surfaces. In a fi
