EARTH SCIENCE ARCHIVE
Stormwater Ponds Are Carbon Sources, Not Sinks
New research from Florida tracks carbon dioxide and methane emissions from human-created waterways.
Why Do Rivers Jump Off the Beaten Path?
Researchers sifted through 50 years of satellite imagery and came up with new clues to where and why rivers avulse, suddenly changing their course.
Circling Antarctica to Unveil the Bed Below Its Icy Edge
An international initiative aims to collect a comprehensive airborne data set from the Antarctic Ice Sheet margin to better estimate ice discharge and sea level contributions today and in the future.
Peeking at Peatlands: Satellite Data Fuel New Findings
Researchers are combining hard-to-get field measurements with satellite imagery to gain new insight into where peatlands are and how they work.
Steep Mountain Slopes Have Surprisingly Long Lifetimes
New models of eastern Tibetan hillsides show that steep slopes with “excess” rock last longer on average than their shallower counterparts.
Massive Groundwater Systems Lie Beneath Antarctic Ice
Scientists are updating ice stream models to understand the ways in which deep groundwater systems impact ice flow.
Small Catchments Sustain Silicon Signatures Following Storms
Watersheds have unique patterns of silicon export due to differences in subsurface water routing and biogeochemical reactions.
Newly Discovered Lake May Offer a Glimpse into Antarctica’s Past
Scientists dive in—metaphorically—to Lake Snow Eagle, only recently revealed through ice-penetrating radar.
A Community-Led Landslide Prediction System in India
In a first-of-its-kind disaster prevention initiative, a meteorology-based landslide prediction system was developed as a crowdsourced science effort.
Los microbios podrían comer minerales magnéticos en un sitio de derrame de petróleo
Nuevos experimentos en un antiguo sitio de derrames de petróleo en Minnesota sugieren que los procesos no biológicos por sí solos no pueden explicar la disminución de la magnetización.
