Why is it hotter in a large city than in a village just a few kilometres away? The answer lies in what are known as heat islands.
The company which has won the Iberdrola birdlife protection Challenge, Energiot, uses the Internet of Things (IoT) to monitor public service networks so they do not need to be maintained. Their solution to the problem was to create an autonomous predator simulator that would scare the birds away, allowing them to avoid collisions. Find out more about them.

Groundwater is the natural water stored beneath the Earth's surface and it is essential because it supplies a third of the world's population. As with other of our planet's elements, it also finds itself under threat from contamination. In fact, a recent study undertaken at the Albert-Ludwigs University in Freiburg (Germany) warns this threat could be greater than at first thought.
In recent decades, extreme weather events have become more frequent, intense and prolonged across many regions of the world. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), human-induced global warming is increasing the likelihood of extreme events such as heatwaves, droughts, torrential rainfall and tropical cyclones.
