News For years, the rise of the Bundaberg farmer’s son turned London banker seemed unstoppable. Then things started to fall apart. By Rick Morton. Lex Greensill. Credit: Nine / Peter Braig Lex Greensill started the week as a billionaire. Within days, the boy from Bundaberg had lost his empire. The collapse of his fortune is, in part, explained by close links to Australia’s biggest renewables investor, Sanjeev Gupta. And as such, Greensill’s trouble may drag down Gupta’s global empir...

Environmental groups worried by Adirondack subdivision near Northville | The Daily Gazette SECTIONS FULTON COUNTY — Environmental groups are expressing their concerns about the environmental impacts of a 34-lot subdivision to be built around Woodward Lake in northern Fulton County as the Adirondack Park Agency prepares to consider a subdivision permit for the project. The plans by New York Land and Lakes Development LLC of Oneonta call for building lots to be located around the perimeter of ...

The American Gypsum plant in Albuquerque pictured March 10, 2021. (Jim Thompson/Journal) ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A major drywall manufacturer will continue its Albuquerque operations for at least 10 more years under a new incentive agreement with Bernalillo County. The county commission on Tuesday approved issuing $22 million in industrial revenue bonds to support a modernization overhaul at American Gypsum Company’s Northeast Albuquerque plant. The company, not the county, is responsible for r...

Digital Earth Could Help Predict Effects of Climate Change Scientists are building a digital model of the Earth that will act as an information system for better decision-making on development and environmental issues within the European Union. Mar. 9, 2021 A team of sci­en­tists and researchers from ETH Zurich University have cre­ated a high-pre­ci­sion vir­tual rep­re­sen­ta­tion of Earth to sim­u­late the effects of cli­mate change. Named Destination Earth, the so-called dig­i...

Scientists working to create an Earth within Earth > According to a report that highlights a recent experiment, scientists are attempting to develop a detailed digital twin of the Earth to project Earth’s future environmental issues through simulations and prevent them. The resulting data could help researchers and policymakers predict and plan disasters ahead of time, with timely decisions. “If you are planning a two-meter high dike in The Netherlands, for example, I can run through the da...

Mar 01, 2021 11:09 AM EST Computer scientists at ETH (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich) are trying to create a detailed digital twin of our Big Blue Marble in a kind of pixelated cloning experiment intended to serve as a model of experiment for Earths climatic changes. According to recent study in Nature Computational Science, the purpose here is for this replica planet to be used as a sounding board to simulate and project out the future of Earth environmental issues before they h...

"If you are planning a two-metre high dike in The Netherlands, for example, I can run through the data in my digital twin and check whether the dike will in all likelihood still...

A digital twin of our planet is to simulate the Earth system in future. It is intended to support policy-makers in taking appropriate measures to better prepare for extreme events. A new strategy paper by European scientists and ETH Zurich computer scientists shows how this can be achieved. A digital twin of the Earth is to simulate the Earth system comprehensively and at high resolution and serve, for example, as a basis for guiding adaptation measures to climate change. (ESA) To become climat...
