Summaries by AGU’s editors of recent journal articles

Geology & Geophysics
Xray tomograms taken at two times which show fractures and pores within solid rock.

5 March 2021

When Will the Next Failure Be?

Unprecedented images of fracture networks in laboratory scale experiments mixed with machine learning algorithms help predict the timing of the next failure.

Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
Observed median July temperatures in eleven headwater streams by the Agashashok, Cutler, and Imelyak rivers in the Noatak river basin.

3 March 2021

Thawing Permafrost May Cause Streams to Cool

Permafrost thawing associated with climate warming increases contributions to streamflow by deeper, cooler groundwater flow paths, which may result in lower summer stream temperatures.

Geology & Geophysics
Map of the study area in western India showing a network of seismic recording stations

1 March 2021

Hunting the Source of Deccan Traps Volcanism Using Seismic Waves

Seismic velocity patterns beneath the Deccan Traps region in western India reveal its volcanic history.

Climate Change
Plot showing the latitudinal dependence of Clausius-Clapeyron scaling.

26 February 2021

Rainfall Change with Warming More Consistent than Anticipated

Dew point temperature better explains precipitation change with warming than temperature itself, and the relation is more spatially coherent than previously thought.

Atmospheric Sciences
Map of northern Eurasia showing long-term trend of wintertime Turbulence Index 1

24 February 2021

Global Warming Intensifies Turbulence Over Northern Eurasia

A significant increasing trend of turbulence in upper atmosphere over northern Eurasia is attributed to intense anthropogenic activities.

Map of the Southern Ocean showing the flux of carbon dioxide determined from the USV measurements during the 196-day circumnavigation of Antarctica

22 February 2021

Robot Measures Air-Sea Carbon Dioxide Exchange in Southern Ocean

Unique air and ocean surface observations of the Southern Ocean from a 22,000 km, 196-day circumnavigation around Antarctica by an Uncrewed Surface Vehicle.

Geology & Geophysics
Plot showing the average number of shallow earthquakes near Parkfield, California, from 2006 to 2014

19 February 2021

Why are Earthquakes on the San Andreas Seasonally Modulated?

There is growing evidence that some earthquakes occur seasonally but also that water loading cannot explain these observations.

Ocean Sciences

15 February 2021

Wind Stress is not the Ceiling of Momentum Flux to the Ocean

The ocean is mainly driven by wind stress, but simultaneous observations show that the gain of momentum flux by the ocean can be larger than the wind stress due to the influence of ocean waves.

Geology & Geophysics
Plot showing aftershocks triggered by the 1992 Landers earthquake in California and Coulomb stress changes

12 February 2021

The Failure of Physics-Based Earthquake Forecasting Models

Spatial clustering of aftershocks explains why simple statistical models often outperform complex physics‐based earthquake forecasting models even if the physical mechanisms are correctly modeled.

Atmospheric Sciences
Map of south and southeast Asia showing the near-surface origins of ‘fast’ airmass trajectories connecting the surface and the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere

10 February 2021

Measurements of Ozone-Depleting Chemicals in the Asian Monsoon

New high-altitude aircraft observations identify unexpected high levels of halogen-containing species entering the stratosphere above the summertime Asian monsoon.
