The authors looked at how nanosilver particles may negatively impact the pond water environment. They used D. magna as an indicator species to look at the impact of different concentrations of nanosilver particles.
Read More...Drought prediction in the Midwestern United States using deep learning
The authors studied the ability of deep learning models to predict droughts in the midwestern United States.
Read More...Fire detection using subterranean soil sensors
The authors looked at how soil temperature changes with fire to develop a sensor system that could aid in earlier detection of fires.
Read More...Observing food and density effects on the reproductive strategies of Heterandria formosa
The authors looked at the impact of different harvest and feeding treatments on Heterandria formosa over three generations as a model for changes in marine ecosystems.
Read More...Investigating intertidal sediment sorting and median particle diameter variation on an eroding beach face
The authors looked at beach nourishment (a way to combat erosion on coasts) and resulting grain size distribution. Their work is important to understand the dynamics of erosion and it's relation to wave action and the implications this has for efforts to mitigate coastal erosion.

Pediatric asthma remains a significant health issue for Dallas students. This study examined the relationship between microclimatic parameters, vegetation, and pediatric asthma vulnerability (PAV) in urban schools.
Read More...Redefining and advancing tree disease diagnosis through VOC emission measurements
Here the authors investigated the use of an affordable gas sensor to detect volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions as an early indicator of tree disease, finding statistically significant differences in VOCs between diseased and non-diseased ash, beech, and maple trees. They suggest this sensor has potential for widespread early disease detection, but call for further research with larger sample sizes and diverse locations.
Read More...School sustainability: The implications of implementing living walls at schools for air purification
The authors compare air quality in the presence and absence of a living wall in a high school hallway in Brooklyn, NY.
Read More...A low-cost method for purification of agricultural wastewater based on S. platensis
The authors looked at the ability of Spirulina platensis to reduce contaminants in wastewater in order to develop a more accessible treatment option. They found that S platensis did reduce the concentration of pollutants present within simulated agricultural wastewater.
