Redesigning Farmland Through Community Collaboration in California
A community-led project in California shows how collaboration can reshape farmland to improve water resources, restore native plants, and create recreational space.
Southeast Tibet Grew in Pulses, Not All at Once
Mineral cooling ages reveal three pulses when uplift and erosion exposed deeper rocks, showing that Southeast Tibet grew outward, step by step, over roughly 80…
Making Weather and Climate Information Reach the Communities that Need It
Many at-risk communities remain unreached by forecasts due to barriers in language, access, and trust in information systems. A new study looks at how to…
A Satellite-Based Global Carbon Flux Product is Sensitive to Droughts
A parsimonious ecosystem model constrained by data from NASA’s Soil Moisture Active and Passive mission generates a global daily carbon flux product that is highly…
The Largest Ice Thickness Survey of Alaska’s Glaciers
A decade of NASA airborne radar surveys produces the most extensive inventory of glacier ice thickness for Alaska and northwestern Canada to date.
Reconnecting to the Lunar Trailblazer with Light
Learning from the attempted rescue of the Lunar Trailblazer: how ground-based optical observations and laboratory measurements can improve recovery of the attitude of a spacecraft lost in space.
Fluid-Driven Reactions Restore Fault Strength Between Earthquakes
In fault gouge, fluids drive chemical healing by cementing grains, a mechanism for seismic slip in rocks frictionally expected to creep. This cohesion matters for fault stability.
Seeing Earth’s Most Common Minerals from Space
A novel method marks an important step toward mapping quartz and feldspar globally.
How Dehydration-Driven Fluid Pressure Shapes Megathrust Slip Modes
By modeling dehydration-driven fluid pressure, a new study links deep fluids to where megathrust earthquakes end and slow slip begins.
Shoreline Migration, Sediment Accumulation, and Blue Carbon Storage
Autogenic processes of sediment storage and erosion regulate shoreline movement and therefore, where coastal wetlands develop, setting up subsurface areas of preserved organic matter, blue carbon.
Unbearable Heat for Hundreds of Millions
The Global South, in particular, is suffering from the consequences of global heating. A new study quantifies heat stress in India by projecting it during the critical seasons.
Where Methane is Emitted Matters for Global Burden
Methane emitted at higher latitude regions (Europe) tends to stay in the atmosphere longer, contributing to higher global concentrations than other regions (Asia, North America).
A Snapshot of Continental Crust in the Making
New seismic images from the Aleutian Arc show how active volcanic arcs may build new continental crust, highlighting the complex transition at multiple stages.
Soil Biogeochemistry Models Omit Key Processes Due to Geographic Bias
Popular soil biogeochemistry models inadequately represent regionally-important processes and lack transferability, resulting in poor predictions of soil organic carbon stocks in sub-Saharan Africa.
Multi-Scale Fault Roughness Encapsulated in a Friction Law
A new rate- and roughness-dependent friction law incorporates multi-scale fault processes to reproduce earthquake fracture energy scaling.
