Continental shelves and estuaries are natural sources of nitrous oxide, but current global estimates of these emissions carry a lot of uncertainty, a problem that calls for regional studies.Read More »Climate Change
The planetary boundaries framework defines how much human disturbance various Earth system processes can take, but it may not adequately depict the water cycle or the extent to which we’ve altered it.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
Signals in layers of sedimentary rock hint at climates and ecosystems come and gone. Understanding this history can help us forecast the future, but challenges abound.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
A new study uses the planetary boundaries concept to formulate an approach to water management that considers both global and local limits to water cycle modifications.Read More »Biogeosciences
