Which Greenland Outlet Glaciers have Subglacial Channels?
A new study provides insights into where the channels that drain subglacial water from underneath the Greenland Ice Sheet are most likely located.
Three Studies Point to El Niño as Key to 2023 Record Global Heat
Three recent studies reveal how the interplay between El Niño and long-term global warming drove the record-breaking global temperatures of 2023.
An Atmospheric Pattern Over the Pacific Influences Western U.S. Wildfire Risk
The West Pacific pattern correlates with high pressure, increased temperature, decreased precipitation, and higher burned area during autumn in the western United States.
Filling the Gaps: Context and Design of Arctic Carbon Flux Measurement Networks
Large scale observational networks are necessary for understanding the impact of a warming climate in the Arctic, but critical tools are crucial to how those networks are designed.
Slow But Powerful Fault Slip Can Simply Arise from Fluid Flow
Cyclic changes of fluid pressure in fault zones can induce slow-slip events that advance in the direction of fluid flow, even when the faults are stable.
How Southern Ocean Currents Modulate Global Biogeochemical Cycles
Swirling currents called mesoscale eddies occupy about 22% of the ice-free Southern Ocean. Using data from drifting floats and satellites, scientists report the impact these eddies have on biogeochemical cycles.
Mars and Earth: A Tale of Two Energy Budgets
The first view of Mars’ latitudinal radiant energy budget reveals stark contrast with Earth’s energy distribution, offering new insights into each planet’s unique energy dynamics.
Fast Adept Sea Ice Forecasts
Artificial intelligence facilitates an efficient, skillful surrogate of a coupled Arctic sea ice prediction model using generative diffusion.
Wave-Modulated Electron Loss Affects GPS Location Determination
