In 2021, Carbon Robotics unveiled the third-generation of its Autonomous Weeder, a smart farming robot that identifies weeds and then destroys them with high-power lasers. The company now has taken the technology from that robot and built a pull-behind LaserWeeder — and it kills twice as many weeds.

Beach erosion: Satellites reveal how climate cycles impact coastlines

Posted by in categories: climatology, habitats, satellites

Researchers from UNSW Sydney have analyzed millions of satellite photos to observe changes in beaches across the Pacific Ocean. The findings, published in Nature Geoscience today (Feb. 10), reveal for the first time how coastlines respond to different phases of the El-Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle.

ENSO is a natural climate phenomenon that causes variations in over the Pacific Ocean. The warming phase, known as El Niño, and the cooling phase, known as La Niña, affect across different coastlines depending on the cycle.
