Warming Could Push India Toward a Groundwater Crisis - The New York Times
The warming climate could drive India to use up its groundwater much more rapidly in the coming decades, according to projections published by LCLUC researchers in the journal Science Advances. India already pumps up more underground water than any other country, largely to irrigate staple crops like wheat, rice, and maize. But hotter temperatures are drying out fields and leaving less moisture to soak into the soil and replenish the aquifers below.
Green Transition Information Factory
Green Transition Information Factory
The European Space Agency (ESA) has launched the Green Transition Information Factory (GTIF) that allows users to interactively discover the underlying opportunities and complexities of transitioning to carbon neutrality by 2050 using the power of Earth Observation, cloud-computing and cutting-edge analytics.
The cloud-based integrated GTIF environment enables:

NASA's Role in Advancing Earth's Well-being: Dr. Gutman's Visit to Central and Eastern Europe Under the Embassy Science Fellowship Program
NASA's Role in Advancing Earth's Well-being: Dr. Gutman's Visit to Central and Eastern Europe Under the Embassy Science Fellowship Program
Dr. Garik Gutman recently visited Central and Eastern Europe to meet with researchers and academics in the region. He started his tour in Budapest, where the hub for regional space-related activities is located. Dr. Gutman gave talks on the water-energy-food nexus and recent NASA Earth Observation missions at several institutions in the region, which included Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Czechia and Austria. He also had an opportunity to learn about the achievements of regional experts in the field of Earth’s Remote Sensing.

Higher-Res Data Set Now Shows Trees Inside and Outside Forests Across the Tropics
Mapping tree cover is vital for monitoring deforestation, restoration and trends in global land cover change. Remote sensing makes it possible to observe forests on a global scale by analyzing imagery from satellites to detect where trees are and aren’t over time. It’s not just dense forests that are important; open canopy forests — which are common in drylands and in non-forested regions like in cities and on farms — are also important to map and monitor. However, doing so has proven challenging: Patches of trees may cover a smaller area than individual satellite pixels.
