FAA Started a 90-Day AI Pilot to Predict Airspace Congestion

The FAA has begun a 90-day Washington-area pilot of SMART, predictive software intended to flag airspace congestion before delays spread. It advises human traffic managers and does not control aircraft; no live delay-reduction results have yet been published.

Faster Glaciers Drove 84% of 11.3-Trillion-Tonne Polar Ice Loss

A record combining 42 estimates from 27 satellite missions finds that Greenland and Antarctica lost 11.309 trillion tonnes of ice from 1979 to 2023. Faster glacier discharge caused 84% of the loss, but the historical reconstruction does not determine how quickly future sea level will rise.
