Slow and Fast Madden-Julian Oscillation Modes
The skill of Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) forecasts can be improved by identifying slow- and fast-MJO modes and their superposition.
Why More Rain Doesn’t Mean More Erosion in Mountains
Erosion in mountain-basin systems driven by long-period climate variations is buffered by an erosion saturation effect, which weakens peak erosion and leads to reduced sediment flux.
Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility: Excellent IDEA!
Solutions that remove barriers to inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility offer a compelling vision for a more positive and effective working environment.
Models Reveal Imprint of Tectonics and Climate on Alluvial Terraces
Mechanistic models are used to show how different drivers, including sediment and water supply, uplift and subsidence, and sea-level variations, affect the shapes and formation of extensive terraces.
Rocky Shore Erosion Shaped by Multi-Scale Tectonics
Statistical analysis of western United States shore evolution provides hints of long-term tectonic and seismic cycle effects on modulating coastal erosion.
A New Way to Measure Quartz Strength at High Pressure
Direct stress measurements inside deforming quartz reveal how its strength changes with temperature, improving models of continental crust deformation.
Linking Space Weather and Atmospheric Changes With Cosmic Rays
Water-Cherenkov cosmic-ray detectors can be used as a tool for monitoring and studying changes in the lower stratosphere over Antarctica.
Monitoring Ocean Color From Deep Space: A TEMPO Study
Scientists apply machine learning to demonstrate that geosynchronous satellites can be used to assess the health of oceans from deep space.
Why Are Thunderstorms More Intense Over Land Than Ocean?
A new perspective on convective instability sheds light on the factors controlling intensity in the rising motions that produce precipitation, and occasionally thunder and lightning, over land.
