Trees Shed Their Leaves to Adapt to Droughts
The browning or loss of tree leaves that can be observed during droughts may be a coping mechanism to deal with dry circumstances by avoiding…
Long-Term and Recent Activity of the Brenner Fault Finally Reconciled
A novel application of an established dating method, namely electron spin resonance, provides constraints on the timing and relative movements of the Brenner Fault walls…
The Multi-Faceted Water Footprint of Data Centers
Data centers powering artificial intelligence consume significant amounts of water, highlighting the need for greater transparency regarding water use in both existing and planned facilities.
Next Generation Fluid Flow Solver for Earth System Modeling
A new fluid solver from the Climate Modeling Alliance sets a benchmark in atmospheric modeling, with unmatched consistency in moist thermodynamics, energy conservation, and CPU/GPU…
Tides Generate Detectable Electrical Signals in Coastal Aquifers
Spontaneous potentials show possibility for monitoring coastal saltwater intrusion.
Opening a Treasure Trove: A Trip to the Historic Archives of Venus
Before 1989, pre-Magellan orbiter and ground-based exploration of Venus produced significant datasets that will be useful when planning future missions to the planet.
Robustness Through Diversity: Learning from Heterogeneous Aquifers
Learning from diverse aquifer structures, which are all over the place, leads to robust inverse methods.
Slow Atmospheric Circulations Shape Storm Tracks and Wave-Breaking Patterns
Connections between fast and slow parts of the atmosphere are analyzed over 35 years to understand the links between storms, weather regimes, and atmospheric wave breaking events.
Collinearity is Not Always a Problem in Machine Learning
Collinearity is not always a showstopper for statistical machine learning (at least not for self-organizing maps).
The Fate of the Greenland Ice Sheet: Deep Learning from SkySat Images
Surface meltwater ponding and drainage in the Greenland Ice Sheet is analyzed at high spatial and temporal resolution through SkySat imagery and deep learning.
Tropopause Temperature Drives Tropical Cyclone Simulation Diversity
Tropopause temperature biases create major tropical cyclone differences in models; cooler air boosts storm potential intensity, raising global cyclone frequency and hurricanes in experiments.
The “Wet-Gets-Wetter” Response to Climate Change Does Not Always Apply
While the precipitation response to a warming climate is often stated as the “wet gets wetter,” this response does not apply to east-west overturning circulations like the Pacific Walker circulation.
Severe 2023 Drought: Sinking Carbon Sink in the Amazon
The Amazon forest has been a reliable carbon sink, soaking up some of humanity’s carbon emissions, but a severe drought in 2023 adds to growing concern that this ecosystem service is at risk.
Human Effects on Background Atmosphere have Affected Mercury Chemistry
Atmospheric mercury chemistry has evolved over time due to changes in atmospheric composition, especially for changing concentrations of bromine radicals, hydroxyl radicals, and ozone.
Future Hotspots of Hazardous Rivers in the Atmosphere
Atmospheric rivers can produce heavy precipitation and associated hazards worldwide. A new study identifies regions where these hazards have already, and will further, increase with global heating.
