Thawing Permafrost Is Affecting Climate, but It’s Unclear by How Much
Models produce widely varying estimates of how ecosystems in the northern permafrost region are currently affecting the global greenhouse gas budget.
Lack of Water Quality Data Is a Form of Environmental Injustice
There’s a dearth of information on the health of lakes in marginalized communities.
Each Glacier Has a Unique Organic Matter Composition
Like snowflakes, no two glaciers are alike: Carbon-containing compounds released from glaciers vary from place to place, meaning climate and ecosystem effects of melting could vary as well.
New Details About a Very Old Eruption and Flood
One of the most dramatic volcanic eruptions in history occurred more than 1,000 years ago. Scientists are still piecing together the aftermath.
High-Pressure Reactions Can Turn Nonporous Rocks into Sponges
Mathematical models describe how water moves through rocks in deep Earth.
Phytoplankton Shield Ice Shelves from Summer Heat
Spring blooms shade Antarctic ice shelves, causing them to melt 7% more slowly than they would if they were surrounded by clear, bloomless waters.
Some Urban Trees Suffer Under Climate Stress
Heat and drought hit trees in Boston and New York City harder than those in their rural counterparts.
Shallow Waters Make the Best Carbon Sinks
Oxygen content and microbial prevalence may not be as influential on carbon sedimentation as previously thought.
All Eyes on Jupiter
Astronomers hope amateur enthusiasts will help them monitor Jovian weather.
