Research & science GEDI observations of foliar height diversity track regrowth trends in the humid tropical forests of the Democratic Republic of Congo The humid tropical forests of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) cover 1.15 million km2 and are highly biodiverse but under threat. The European Union Tropical Moist Forest (TMF) Landsat-based forest cover monitoring product reports that >25% of DRC forests experienced deforestation and degradation in the last 30 years. The NASA Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) is the first sp… Environmental Research Letters (IOP) · 21 Jul 2026 Research & science Earth’s dimming mirror: cloud contraction and the rise of albedo governance Earth has reflected progressively less solar radiation since the start of the satellite era (1979), amplifying the planetary energy imbalance. Satellite analyses attribute the trend primarily to circulation-driven contraction of reflective cloud regimes, whereas process-based studies emphasize surface reflectivity changes. We argue that these perspectives are dynamically linked: as cloud cover … Environmental Research Letters (IOP) · 21 Jul 2026 Research & science Opposing effects of vegetation structural and physiological changes on future flash drought risk in East China China is a global hotspot of both flash drought and vegetation change. However, how vegetation responses to rising CO2 levels will influence the characteristics of future flash droughts remains largely unquantified. Using a high-resolution land surface model, this study utilized sensitivity experiments to quantify the independent contributions of leaf area index (LAI) changes and CO2-induced ph… Environmental Research Letters (IOP) · 21 Jul 2026 Research & science Beyond localized hotspots: hazard connectivity in spatially compound rainfall-coastal storm events Compound flooding is commonly assessed through the co-occurrence of multiple hazards at a single location. However, extreme weather systems can also generate simultaneous impacts across geographically separated regions, creating systemic challenges for emergency response and risk management. Here, we investigate spatially compound rainfall-coastal storm events along the ∼1600 km Spanish Mediter… Environmental Research Letters (IOP) · 21 Jul 2026 Research & science Does hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis occur in seagrass beds? Insights from whole-ecosystem stable isotope labelling Seagrass beds are blue carbon ecosystems; however, they release methane (CH4), a potent greenhouse gas. Although likely important, the influence of primary production on methanogenic pathways remains understudied. We labelled intact seagrass-sediment cores and in situ seagrass beds with 13C-dissolved inorganic carbon (13C-DIC) to trace the transfer to 13C-CH4 over a short (<24 h) and long (35 d… Environmental Research Letters (IOP) · 21 Jul 2026 Research & science Senior Academic, Research and Teaching Promotions 2025–26 - UCL | University College London UCL News · 21 Jul 2026 Research & science How ultra-processed food firms are using the courts to obstruct health rules - UCL | University College London UCL News · 21 Jul 2026 Research & science The AI influencers promising to make middle-aged women young again - UCL | University College London UCL News · 21 Jul 2026 Policy & government June 2026-Michigan College Credit for Apprenticeships Resolution (1) - State of Michigan (.gov) Michigan EGLE · 21 Jul 2026 Council news Caerphilly - Caerphilly County Borough Council Caerphilly Council · 21 Jul 2026 Council news Planning appeal hearing Land south of Warren Lane, Hurst Green - Tandridge District Council Tandridge Council · 21 Jul 2026 Industry news Council chiefs urge Rayner to reset local government reorganisation - localgov.co.uk LocalGov · 21 Jul 2026 Industry news NASA is flying planes into wildfires to try and figure out how they make their own thunderstorms Clouds from wildfires can create firenadoes and produce thousands of lightning strikes that generate even more fires The Independent — Climate · 21 Jul 2026 Council news Freedom of Information Request - Fife Council Fife Council · 21 Jul 2026 Policy & government Section 840: Sign supports - Mass.gov Massachusetts DEP · 21 Jul 2026 Council news Browse meetings - Worthing Licensing and Control Committee - Adur & Worthing Councils Adur Council · 21 Jul 2026 Policy & government First ‘ZEVergreen’ report will shape affordable clean transportation policy amidst federal interference - Department of Ecology - State of Washington (.gov) Washington Department of Ecology · 21 Jul 2026 Industry news Crème Brûlée Pie - McDonald's McDonald's UK newsroom · 21 Jul 2026 Industry news Tokyo urges men to wear shorts to work, but women say it's 'leg hair harassment' The Tokyo Metropolitan Government wants workers to ditch the suit and tie for t-shirts, trainers - and shorts.
