Pre-Season Wet Soil Produces Fire-Prone Conditions

by Guiling Wang 13 February 202413 February 2024

The SMAP satellite shows that wetter-than-normal soil five months prior to wildfires in the western United States increases fuel availability and fire activity when desiccation occurs.

Rainstorm Intensity Drives Desert Landscape Evolution

by Marisa Repasch 12 February 20248 February 2024

New mathematical models show that the persistence of near-vertical cliffs in arid landscapes is maintained by infrequent, but high-intensity rain storms.

Solar Eclipses May Initiate Disturbances in Geospace

by Yuichi Otsuka 6 February 20245 February 2024

The statistical evidence from 21 years of data suggests that a solar eclipse may trigger a geomagnetic substorm, which is a disturbance in the Earth’s magnetosphere and ionosphere.

Using Machine Learning to Reconstruct Cloud-Obscured Dust Plumes

by Donald Wuebbles 2 February 20241 February 2024

Satellite-observed dust plumes from North Africa are frequently obscured by clouds, but a new study uses machine learning to reconstruct dust patterns, demonstrating a new way to validate dust forecasts.

A Dust-Up Over Dust Measurements

by Gabriel Filippelli 29 January 202425 January 2024

Dust has significant impacts on the environment, climate, air quality, and human health, yet dust events are underestimated and therefore do not receive the level of attention necessary.
