âAll work that is done in Antarctica is hard and difficult,â Bruce Luyendyk, a professor emeritus and oceanographer with the Earth Research Institute at UC Santa Barbara, told me over Zoom.

The temperature is miserably, sometimes even incomprehensibly, cold. The weather can be inclement and stormy. On marine expeditions, sea ice and other hazards compound the work that researchers must do â and this work must be done in shifts, 24/7, around the clock.Â
Forests play key role to preserve clean water

Spend time in any of the world s
great forests and you ll start seeing the trees as immense pillars holding the
heavens aloft while firmly anchored in the earth.
It s as much fact as
sentiment. Trees really do link the ground to the sky by exchanging energy and
matter between the soil and the atmosphere.
Researchers believe that
understanding this connection could provide both a wealth of scientific insight
into ecosystems and practical applications that address challenges such as
water resource conservation and management.

The 14th five-year Plan period is about to set sail, and the new development is surging to the east. Under the new upsurge of development in Baotou City in an all-round way, Inner Mongolia Baotou rare Earth High-tech Zone takes the initiative to renew its concept, accurately grasp the important opportunities of scientific and technological innovation and industrial reform, and target the key tasks of economic and social development during the 14th five-year Plan period. we will fully implement the arrangements of the autonomous region and Baotou City, and closely revolve around the major task of the times of high-quality development of the rare earth industry. The focus is on making concerted efforts in the five aspects of permanent magnet, hydrogen storage, polishing, catalysis and alloy, extending from the four dimensions of up and down, to further strengthen the industrial base, raise the modernization l

A recent study led by UC Santa Barbara s Marc Mayes investigates how patterns in tree water loss to the atmosphere, tracked with satellite imagery, relates to groundwater supplies. The results validate at landscape-wide scales ideas that scientists have proposed based on decades of research in labs and greenhouses. What s more, the techniques lend themselves to an accurate, efficient way of monitoring groundwater resources over large areas. The findings
