The [Memory Pool System](http://www.ravenbrook.com/project/mps) or MPS is a GC that was originally written back in the 1990s at Harlequin where it was used in their DylanWorks environment. When Harlequin went under, some members of the team bought up the rights to MPS and now manage its development ...

Interesting to see some of the discussion / push back on features trying to get into swift.

According to new research, climate change may have caused rainforest trees to die more quickly starting in the 1980s. The results of a long-term international study published in the journal Nature on May 18th, 2022 show that tropical trees in Australia’s rainforests have been dying at a rate t...

Climate Change Poses a Significant Danger to People’s Health, yet Solutions Are Within Reach Climate change is thought to have a vast range of impacts on health today. However, experts believe that this will become even more severe unless action is soon taken. The health of vulnerable groups might b...

The series of heatwaves we are currently experiencing in western Europe is a clear sign of human-induced global warming. ESA’s Clement Albergel explains how we monitor these events using satellites such as the Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission and puts them in the context of the long-term climate data r...

A New Study Investigates Which Animals Will Best Survive Climate Change As the average global temperature increases, extreme weather events like prolonged droughts and heavy downpours are becoming more frequent, and they will only become worse in the coming decades. What will happen to the planet&#8...

Climate change is putting the availability of biomass fuels and technologies – a vital alternative to fossil fuels – at risk, according to new research. A new study has found that the window of opportunity to maximize the use of biomass from plants, wood, and waste as a renewable energy source and a...

Climate change drove reptile evolution during the Permian-Triassic era, with rising temperatures prompting rapid diversification. Reptiles had one heck of a coming-out party just over 250 million years ago during the end of the Permian period and the start of the Triassic. Their rates of evolution a...

Deep valleys buried under the seafloor of the North Sea record how the ancient ice sheets that used to cover the UK and Europe expelled water to stop themselves from collapsing. A new study greatly surprised the research team, who discovered that the valleys took just hundreds of years to form as th...

Early in its history, the red planet would have likely been habitable to methanogens – microbes that make a living in extreme habitats on Earth – according to a study that simulated the conditions on a young Mars. If there ever was life on Mars – and that’s a huge “if” – conditions...

Researchers Have Discovered That Trees Are Growing in Size as a Result of Carbon Dioxide It is well known that trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, protecting people from some of the harshest consequences of climate change. A recent study demonstrates the extent to which forests have bee...

The Weed Could Also Hold the Key to Drought-Resistant Crops In a world troubled by climate change, a common weed provides crucial hints about how to develop drought-resistant crops. Purslane, also known as Portulaca oleracea, combines two different metabolic pathways to produce a unique sort of phot...

Ecologists Highlight the Importance of Preserving Ancient Trees A vital role in biodiversity and ecosystem preservation is played by ancient trees—those that are many hundreds, or even thousands, of years old—by providing stability, strength, and protection to at-risk environments. A team of ecologi...

As U.S. West warms, beavers will become a bigger boon to river water quality. As climate change worsens water quality and threatens ecosystems, the famous dams of beavers may help lessen the damage, according to a new study by Stanford University scientists and colleagues. The research, which will b...
