Inversion Technology of Carbonate Facies-Controlled Reservoir
Since seismic resolution in the study area cannot meet the requirement of directly identifying reservoirs, it is necessary to make full use of the rich information provided by seismic waves for reservoir prediction. Therefore, it is…
Discussion on Communication and Management of Teaching Building Renovation Project
Project management communication plays a vital role in building renovation project based on teaching as an example, discusses the present situation of project communication management and the existing problems, and put forward the optimization of project…
Gene editing and plant domestication essential to protect food supplies in a worsening climate, scientists say
Increasing heat, droughts, floods, and salinization caused by climate change are lowering the amount of edible food produced by our staple crops. Since taking over more land for agriculture isn’t sustainable, our only path forward is…
Mysterious orca group near Chile tracked down, revealing newly discovered hunting skills
While hunting, an orca (identified as pod matriarch Dakota) propels a dusky dolphin into the air. Image by Maikol Barrera. Scientists have managed to track a mysterious population of orcas living off the coast of Chile…
Scientists create new overwintering sites for monarch butterflies on a warming planet
Planting Abies religiosa (Sacred fir) seedlings under the shade of pre-existing shrubs (Senecio cinerarioides, narrow green-greyish foliage) as protective “nurse plants”. Large trees on background are adult Pinus hartwegii, the pine that reaches the timberline. Abies…
Decommissioning and Abandonment—A Case for Coexisting With Mother Nature
This paper reviews decommissioning and abandonment in Nigeria, looks at candidate identification strategies, breaks down the methods and best practices involved, and examines the requirements for openhole and cased-hole abandonment. All oil and gas assets—including wells,…
Absolute Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Canadian Oil Sands Near Flat in 2023, Even as Production Grew
Analysis by S&P shows that the annual growth in absolute emissions was less than 1% for the third consecutive year. Absolute greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from Canadian oil sands production registered a nominal increase of less…
Astronauts found to process some tasks slower in space, but no signs of permanent cognitive decline
In space, astronauts are exposed to extreme stressors our bodies don’t experience on Earth. Microgravity, higher radiation, and a high workload can impact cognitive performance. To find out which cognitive domains are affected by spaceflight, researchers…
Oceanic life found to be thriving thanks to Saharan dust blown from thousands of kilometers away
Scientists from the US measured the relative amounts of ‘bioreactive’ iron in four sediment cores from the bottom of the Atlantic. They showed for the first time that the further dust is blown from the Sahara,…
How ‘vaccinating’ plants could reduce pesticide use and secure global food supplies
As the climate crisis alters familiar growing conditions, we urgently need to find ways of protecting the world against famines. Currently, our food system is heavily dependent on pesticides—but these pesticides grow less effective as pests…
