Christian Dunn, Where the Wetlands Are
A new study from the U.S. Geological Survey finds that groundwater in Appalachia, the Gulf Coast, and California is susceptible to contamination from orphaned oil and gas wells.
Miles away from the ocean, projects are afoot to clean up salty groundwater and use it to grow crops. Some say it’s a costly pipe dream, others say it’s part of the future.
Contrary to common assumptions, Arctic ponds mix in more than one direction. A new study finds that nighttime sideways flows, not vertical mixing, renew bottom waters.
The most populated cities in the country are slowly subsiding, posing risks to infrastructure and exacerbating flooding—and not just on the coasts.
Los frágiles ecosistemas de las tierras altas mostraron baja resiliencia a los incendios, lo que los hace más vulnerables a la degradación a largo plazo.
It’s often assumed that all soil organic carbon ultimately derives from recent vegetation, but researchers argue that carbon inherited from parent rocks can be important and deserves more focus.
It’s time to accept that durable subsurface carbon storage, along with emissions reductions, must be part of the plan to mitigate the effects of climate change—and geoscience must play a central role.
A set of lab experiments involving a laser, gelatin, and xanthan gum explored how varying flow patterns between dikes with similar speeds and shapes could affect eruption predictions.
Water-induced depolymerization enhances fluid mobility in deep Earth, offering new insights into magma transport and isotope signatures in arc lavas.
