Satellite-based Earth observation provides a unique and powerful tool in tracking climate adaptation, an international study involving University of Galway researchers has shown.

A team at the University’s Ryan Institute is helping to pioneer new methods of combining data recorded from space with artificial intelligence to measure actions that help communities, ecosystems and infrastructure adjust to current and future climate impacts in the global agrifood sector.

In bustling megacities worldwide, smart trains and railways are emerging as heroes in the fight against gridlocked traffic and choking pollution. Powered by cutting-edge tech like IoT and digital connectivity, these systems promise faster, greener, and more personalized travel—think seamless real-time updates and automated operations. Yet, this digital evolution brings a dark side: heightened vulnerability to cyberattacks that could derail operations, compromise passenger safety, or expose sensitive data. As railways go "smart," the need for robust cybersecurity isn't just a tech add-on—it's essential to unlock the full potential of a connected world without inviting chaos. This study dives into the cybersecurity maze of smart railways, mapping out threats, vulnerabilities, and defenses to ensure these vital infrastructures remain resilient in an increasingly hostile digital landscape.
