A New Look at the Changing Water Cycle Over Land
Whether warming increases or decreases, rain over land depends on the relationship of soil moisture, evaporation, and aridity which shape rain regimes.
A Giant Rockslide on a Bed of Steam
Detailed observations of the giant Sevier gravity slide in Utah show that the exceedingly low basal friction required for its rapid emplacement was developed by…
Rotation of Europa’s Icy Shell Driven by Deep Ocean Currents
A model using currents in the deep ocean to drive rotation of Europa’s ice shell from below can explain why its surface may drift despite…
New Theory Explains Radiative Cooling of the Lower Atmosphere
The shape of radiative cooling in lower atmosphere is controlled by the lapse rate in the water vapor path according to a new theory and…
Applying Algal Geometry to Past and Future Environments
Math can be fun when reconstructing the ocean’s past and forecasting the future with algal geometry.
Do Ocean Currents Mix Water Vertically or Stir Laterally?
Observations of temperature and salinity distributions across the Brazil-Malvinas Confluence reveal the importance of small-scale mixing processes for water mass modification.
Satellite View of African Easterly Waves and Hurricane Formation
Researchers present a new analysis of surface winds and enthalpy fluxes from satellite retrievals for African easterly waves that intensify into Atlantic hurricanes.
Pulses of Coastal Upwelling Generate Phytoplankton
Phytoplankton patches at an ocean front in the California Current System are found to originate from different coastal upwelling pulses.
Inductive Approach Reveals Controls on Dissolved Organic Carbon
Machine learning leverages large data sets to reveal hidden patterns explaining when, where, and why dissolved organic carbon moves from hillslopes to streams.
Going with the Flow: New Tool Improves Sea Level Projections
By bringing together multiple data sources a new statistical method aims to improve the accuracy with which we might predict future ice melt in Greenland.
Greening of Loess Plateau Increases Water Yield
Vegetation restoration over the Chinese Loess Plateau can enhance atmospheric moisture convergence, increasing the precipitation enough to compensate for the vegetation water consumption.
Clues from a Subglacial Lake for Holocene Grounding Line Change
Organic carbon sampled in the lake contained radiocarbon, indicating connection to the ocean in the mid-Holocene, when the grounding line was up to 260 kilometers inland of its current position.
Wind Shear Instabilities Emit Gravity Waves
A new study shows that atmospheric gravity waves can be generated by the Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities in the wind shear layer.
مراقبة تراكم الملوثات من المعادن الثقيلة في دلتا النيل
تُظهر نتائج تحاليل العينات أن إعادة استخدام مياه الصرف بدون معالجة والتوسع في إنشاء السدود يسبب زيادة تركيز المعادن الثقيلة الملوثة في دلتا النيل مما يهدد بشدة سلامة النظام البيئي والصحي والإنتاج الزراعي في مصر.
Zooming in on the Nucleus of Earthquake Fault Slips
Controlled arrest and re-nucleation of laboratory earthquakes reveals nucleation processes unapproachable by traditional linear elastic fracture mechanics.
