There’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to photovoltaic systems. Existing models can help users evaluate alternatives, and a new study looks at how effective such models are in northern climates. Photovoltaic, or PV, systems use solar panels to generate electricity from the sun’s energy. Accurate predictions about panel effectiveness are critical for the design, […]

Corridors that allow animals to move to more hospitable landscapes are essential to their survival in a changing climate, according to a new paper published this week in the journal Science. To arrive at that conclusion, researchers combined Indigenous and Western scientific methods — including ancient DNA and stable isotope analysis — to examine a […]
