Soil Microbiome Resilience: 25°C Heat Stress & Organic Matter
Soil microbiome resilience increases 25% at 25°C under heat stress. Lab tests reveal unexpected adaptation in agricultural soils, challenging conventional degradation models.
Arizona Data Centers: 33 MW Thermal Plume Impacts Urban Heat
Arizona’s 33 MW data centers release thermal plumes, raising local temperatures by 1.6°F. This “urban heat island” effect demands new design considerations for climate resilience.
Data Center Cooling: 14 GWh Saved, Energy Cost Analysis
Data center cooling accounts for 40% of power consumption. This isn’t a ‘mean’ value, but a technical threshold indicating a shift to an active thermal system. Resilient cooling solutions are key.
