Scientists realised 1,200 Starlink satellites could double as a giant scanner for Earth’s atmosphere

Starlink satellites are now helping scientists map Earth’s upper atmosphere. Researchers used orbital data from Starlink to estimate thermosphere density. This method creates a two-dimensional map of atmospheric density variations. The findings offer a new way to study this difficult-to-observe region. Commercial satellite data is becoming an unexpected scientific resource.

Asia’s high-mountain ‘water tower’ is losing 24 billion tonnes of groundwater annually, new research finds

Groundwater reserves in High Mountain Asia are experiencing severe depletion annually due to a combination of climate impacts and excessive human water usage. The irrigation needs in the lower basins dramatically exacerbate groundwater storage losses. If current consumption trends continue, projections suggest that depletion will persist. Although temporary glacier melt may provide a short reprieve,
