GGCMI Crop Simulation Study Enters New Phase

Tuesday, January 12, 2016

Since 2012, an international group of scientists have worked on the Global Gridded Crop Model Intercomparison (GGCMI) Project, an effort to assess climate impacts on agriculture at continental and global scales and compare and improve existing crop models. The ultimate goal is to create powerful new models that can help decision-makers at the United Nations, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and governments around the world manage their food production under a changing climate.

New Ultra-Sensitive Instrument Aims to Detect Hints of Elusive Dark Matter Particles

Thursday, November 12, 2015

There is five times more dark matter in the universe than “normal” matter—the atoms and molecules that make up the familiar world. Yet, it is still unknown what this dominant dark component actually is.
