River Slope Connects Modern Topography with Ancient Tectonics
Scientists create models to help them figure out how the slope of a river can record ancient tectonic activity.
A Noninvasive Way to Study Groundwater-Dependent Ecosystems
Scientists used a noninvasive method to study the substructure of delicate groundwater-dependent ecosystems.
Fiber Optics Can Improve Borehole Measurements
Scientists demonstrate the potential of fiber optics to measure fluid flow in boreholes as an alternative to traditional measurement techniques.
Ocean Carbon Uptake More Variable Than Previously Thought
Researchers create a global model of carbon dioxide absorbed by the ocean to get a better idea of how the greenhouse gas influences climate.
