Eight per cent of tenants living in privately rented accommodation are ‘financially excluded’, meaning they don’t have access to banking services due to low income, according to a new report.
Turn2us, the anti-poverty charity, today [24 September] released new research revealing the cost of embedded stigma in the UK’s social security system.
A groundbreaking new study, led by the University of Bristol, has found that 41 million Americans are at risk from flooding rivers, which is more than three times the current estimate—based on regulatory flood maps—of 13 million people.
Ever wondered what the weather and climate was like in Middle Earth, the land of hobbits, dwarves, elves and orcs, from J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings? Climate scientists from the University of Bristol, UK have used a climate model, similar to those used in the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, to simulate and investigate the climate of Middle Earth.
A major forum focused on the future of innovation, ecosystems and resilience for water security has been announced today on World Water Day.
New research has cracked a vital process in the creation of a unique rock type from the Moon. The discovery explains its signature composition and very presence on the lunar surface at all, unravelling a mystery which has long eluded scientists.
University of Bristol scientists will support a new research and training centre at the University of Southampton to better understand and manage flooding in the UK.
How does microbial life manage to survive in subglacial environments over millions of years? New research from the University of Bristol has found that the grinding of bedrock by glaciers and ice sheets produces a continual supply of hydrogen gas, a ready source of energy (‘food’) for many microbes. This hydrogen is most likely formed when the highly reactive surfaces of freshly fractured silicate minerals react with and split water.
A scientist from the University of Bristol is part of an international team that has shown that the changing topography of ice sheets in the Northern Hemisphere during the last Ice Age forced changes in the climate of Antarctica, a previously undocumented inter-polar climate change mechanism.
Leading scientists are today calling for an urgent step change in global governance to save the future of worldwide cities and the planet at large.
