Interactive maps show the accessibility and quality of public transportation for each house in Germany. Computer scientists at the University of Konstanz developed the maps to enable data-driven simulations for discussing political issues – or just checking the situation in one's own neighbourhood.

Researchers have generated the first dataset of water flow beneath the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet, which will lead to more accurate projections of sea level rise. 

The team from the University of Waterloo modeled Antarctica’s subglacial environment. The dataset represents the researchers’ best approximation of what the water flow underneath the ice sheet might currently look like. The results include numerous subglacial lakes developing below ice streams in both East and West Antarctica, and an extensive network of subglacial water channels that discharge large fluxes of water under many major glaciers.
