NTU researchers have uncovered evidence of a new high-potential geothermal energy site in Yishun.

Leveraging advanced seismic imaging techniques to explore underground heat potential in northern Singapore, the team found a geothermal reservoir, sitting above a depth of around 4km.

This comes on the back of Singapore’s ambition to develop green energy resources to meet growing electricity demands and achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

In the next phase of their study, researchers will be burying another 80 seismic sensors underground, spanning the north-east and south of Singapore.

On this episode of Morning Shot, NTU's Associate Professor Tong Ping from the School of Physical & Mathematical Sciences, Asian School of the Environment, and Principal Investigator at the Earth Observatory of Singapore shares his insights.

Globally, women and girls are particularly vulnerable in times of war and conflict. During such times, existing inequalities are magnified, infrastructure and social relations are broken down, and human rights are at risk.

Research shows that more often than not, women bear the brunt of the secondary and lasting effects of war and conflict, including food insecurity, displacement, heightened human trafficking, and disrupted access to reproductive and health care. Historically, women have also been left out of peace talks and conflict prevention despite data showing a substantially higher degree of success and longevity for peace agreements negotiated by women.

On this episode of Breakfast Special in line with International Women’s Day, Rebekah Lim, Associate Director for Global Engagement at the Singapore Red Cross - which has been hard at work with empowering women and girls living in conflict zones such as Afghanistan and Ukraine, through their humanitarian projects on-the-ground - shares her insights.

On this episode of Eco Money, David Simpson, Senior Professorial Lecturer for Environment, Development & Health and Environmental and Resource Economist at the American University shares his insights.
