Le paradoxe du Groenland : la fonte de la glace pourrait faire baisser localement le niveau de la mer La fonte de la calotte groenlandaise contribue à la montée globale du niveau des océans. Mais localement, elle produit l’effet inverse : libérée du poids de la glace, l’île se soulève. De quoi faire baisser le niveau relatif de la mer de plusieurs mètres d’ici à 2100.

L’équation qu’il a mise au point suggère qu’il vaut mieux construire des bunkers résistants plutôt que de disperser la population.

How Jagged Moon Dust Could Support Future Astronauts Lunar dust can be a pain - but it’s also literally the ground we will have to traverse if we are ever to have a permanent human settlement on the Moon. In that specific use case, it’s clingy, jagged, staticky properties can actually be an advantage, according to a new paper, recently published in Research from researchers at Beihang University, who analyzed the mechanical properties of samples returned by Chang’e 6 mission to the far side of the Moon.
