We’ve built our cities to be vulnerable to major weather events such as the one in Auckland. While almost no city could escape the effects of four months’ worth of rain in 24 h, there are things that could've been done to avoid some of the worst impacts.
Evolution has occurred more rapidly than previously thought in the Chesapeake Bay wetlands, which may decrease the chance that coastal marshes can withstand future sea level rise.
This guide contains 30 examples of ways that federal agencies have used nature-based solutions (NbS) to achieve their goals. The diverse set of examples demonstrates that nature-based solutions can provide many different benefits.
This report defines and explains NbS, while offering guidance on implementation together with a selection of real-world cases that demonstrate nature-based solutions in different landscape types.
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) to help collect, understand and analyze large sets of information has the potential to revolutionize our ability to observe, understand and predict processes in the Earth’s systems.
