Australia may have had a much larger Indigenous population before the arrival of Europeans than previously thought, a new study has found.
The research, based on computer modelling, suggests that about
⭐️93 per cent of the pre-European population was removed in under 80 years
following the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788.
And this population, researchers at Flinders Universityestimated, was
⭐️up to seven times larger than previously thought.

Environmental science takes an average of seven years to influence international policy, study finds
A new study led by the University of Alicante (UA) and the Mediterranean Center for Environmental Studies (CEAM) analyzes the barriers separating scientific knowledge from environmental policy and its effective implementation. The research sets out how long it takes for scientific knowledge in ecology to reach environmental policies and the extent to which these policies subsequently translate into real-world outcomes.

the Labor Department said Friday,
the same as in July.
But on a monthly basis, inflation quickened,

ancient fossil trees that date back
100 million years can be found,

The roots of these coniferous trees are still attached to the carbonaceous soil deposits today.
Their root systems indicate that these trees thrived on the rich plains alongside large meandering rivers.

The Ancient Fossil Forests of Antarctica
Over a hundred years ago, Robert Falcon Scott’s expedition to Antarctica discovered fossils of plants on the Beardmore Glacier, less than 500 km (310 miles) from the South Pole. Edward Wilson, who was the expedition’s chief scientist, recorded the findings in his diary, stating that “most of the bigger leaves were like beech leaves in shape and venation.”

Singapore's plan to merge several islands could wipe out coral reefs
SINGAPORE — “For seven thousand years, Singapore has changed around these reefs,” says Debby Ng, a Singaporean biologist who studies the city-state’s shrinking coastlines of seagrasses, mangroves and corals. “They are still here.” Despite colonization, war, shipping and industrialization, reefs a few kilometers south of Singapore’s gleaming shoreline have endured. “It would be a tragedy […]

Future changes must be announced seven years in advance to ensure planning certainty for fleet operators.

The Colorado River, a critical water lifeline for seven states, has shrunk dramatically.
And the nation’s largest reservoirs, Lake Mead and Lake Powell, have dropped to their lowest levels on record.
In an effort to prevent the reservoirs from reaching critically low levels,
the Trump administration has released a plan that orders substantial water cutbacks in California, Arizona and Nevada over the next two years
and outlines possible larger cuts if deemed necessary…

National parks are deteriorating. There’s a fix Congress isn’t making.
The national park system faces a maintenance backlog of $24 billion in crumbling roads, aging water systems, washed-out trails and dilapidated visitor facilities.
That is more than seven times the National Park Service’s annual budget.

Last month, committees in both the House and Senate advanced bipartisan bills to dedicate roughly $1.3 billion annually for park maintenance over the next five years. …

America’s national parks are falling apart. Congress can fix them.
Legislators should fund routine maintenance to prevent bigger problems.
