What 92 years of data say about ice cover

Warming air temperatures are changing ice cover in seasonally frozen lakes worldwide. The timing of ice formation and melting, called ice phenology, affects lake temperatures, seasonal stratification, and lake ecology, though much about these dynamics remains unknown.

Simulation sheds light on Earth's magnetic field generation while advancing neuromorphic computing

How does the Earth generate its magnetic field? While the basic mechanisms seem to be understood, many details remain unresolved. A team of researchers from the Center for Advanced Systems Understanding at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Sandia National Laboratories (U.S.) and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission has introduced a simulation method that promises new insights into the Earth's core.
