U.S. Won’t Get Return on Multi-Billion Dollar Investment in Hypersonics and May End Up Less Secure Published Jan 16, 2021
WASHINGTON (Jan. 16, 2021) A scientific study published today finds that hypersonic missiles will not offer the United States significant new military capabilities because they are slower and more susceptible to detection than the country’s existing ballistic missile systems.
The peer-reviewed study published in Science & Global Security, an international journal based at Princeton University, analyzes the operational capability of hypersonic missiles currently under development by the U.S. Department of Defense at a cost of $3.2 billion over the next year and billions more in the years to come.
New Classification Marks Paradigm Shift in how Conservationists Tackle Climate Change
Transformation-oriented projects involved translocation of trees or other plants, commonly in forest ecosystems
Newswise NEW YORK (January 14) A new study co-authored by researchers from the Wildlife Conservation Society’s (WCS) Global Conservation Program and the University of British Columbia (UBC) Faculty of Forestry introduces a classification called
Resistance-Resilience-Transformation (RRT) that enables the assessment of whether and to what extent a management shift toward transformative action is occurring in conservation. The team applied this classification to 104 climate adaptation projects funded by the WCS Climate Adaptation Fund over the past decade and found differential responses toward transformation over time and across ecosystems, with more transformative actions applied in forested ecosystems.
