Voicing Farmers’ Concerns on the Future of Agriculture
A new study explores the deep, multi-faceted concerns of small- and mid-scale farmers about the direction of farming and food systems in the United States.
Serendipity in Space: NASA’s Eye in the Sky
The Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) mission, proposed for early termination, has turned out to be a boon to forest and agricultural management.
Rising Temperature and Decreasing Snow Cover Increase Soil Breakdown
With climate change and rising temperatures, soil freeze-thaw – which is in turn causing soil breakdown – may counterintuitively increase in the hillslopes where snow…
Beavers are Not Concerned About Groundwater
But, scientists are! A new study illuminates the complex interactions of beaver dam induced ponding and floodplain inundation with shallow groundwater storage and flow patterns.…
New Evidence for a Wobbly Venus?
The orientation of wind-blown impact deposits on Venus is not consistent with modeled wind directions, suggesting Venus’s rotation axis may have changed.
Unexpected Carbonate Phase Revealed by Advanced Simulations
Advanced simulations reveal a new calcium carbonate phase whose unusual elastic behavior may explain puzzling seismic and electrical anomalies beneath ancient continents.
中国推进现代农业，小农户面临风险
一项对中国循环农业项目的研究表明，小农户的自主权和公平代表权既有希望，同时也面临着挑战。
Are There Metal Volcanoes on Asteroids?
Upcoming NASA observations may reveal whether ferrovolcanism shaped 16 Psyche’s metallic surface and hidden interior.
Rising CO2 and Climate Change Reorganize Global Terrestrial Carbon Cycling
Rising CO2 and climate change are redistributing terrestrial carbon fluxes and reservoirs across latitudes and reducing carbon residence times globally.
Deep Learning Goes Multi-Tasking
In hydrological modeling, predicting multiple tasks helps in identifying physical rules and generalizations.
Gravity with an “Edge”: What Lies Beneath Aristarchus Crater
A method combining three different approaches to the processing and analysis of GRAIL data from the Moon defines areas of sharply contrasting densities beneath Aristarchus Crater.
New Perspectives on Energy Sinks During Seismic Events
Laboratory earthquakes shed new light on energy partitioning during earthquakes, which is allocated to seismic radiation, creation of new surfaces, and heat dissipation.
A First Look at How Sand Behaves Inside a Rippled Bed
A detailed numerical model shows how sediment particles experience wave-driven shear stress inside and above a sea bed with sand ripples.
Smallholder Farmers Face Risks in China’s Push for Modern Agriculture
A study of a circular agriculture project in China shows both the promise and the political challenges for smallholder farmers’ autonomy and fair representation.
