Members of the National Academy of Sciences recently voted that membership in the 156-year-old institution can be revoked in cases of “egregious violations” of its Code of Conduct.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
A new opportunistic sensing strategy could use existing closed-circuit television networks to accurately capture rainfall intensity, despite low-cost equipment and visually complex scenes.Read More »Climate Change
In recent decades, there have been more intense North Atlantic hurricanes. A new study compares climate models to see whether they can attribute increasing potential intensity to human activity.Read More »
Continental arcs are a major player in global carbon dioxide emissions, but quantifying that relationship is hard. A new study accepts the challenge on a global scale over 750 million years.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
Six years of acoustic recordings detect seasonal shifts in blue whale vocalizations that correlate with the presence of icebergs, a primary source of ambient ocean noise in the southern Indian Ocean.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
Firn aquifers—pockets of meltwater beneath the surface of an ice sheet—could have far-reaching impacts on subglacial hydrology, a new study finds.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
