Frequency Dependent Plates

by Thorsten W. Becker 16 October 202030 September 2022

Rocks stretch, break, and flow, depending on how and under which conditions they are loaded. A new formulation to better capture Earth’s rheology is explored in the context of plate thickness.

More Clustered Clouds Amplify Tropical Rainfall Extremes

by Sarah Kang 15 October 202014 February 2023

Both satellite observations and model simulations reveal that more aggregated convection amplifies the increase in extreme rainfall events on a year-to-year basis.

Eruption Seismic Tremor Modeled as a Fluvial Process

by Gregory P. Waite 14 October 20202 May 2022

Impact and turbulence models for river tremor are adapted and combined into a model that predicts the amplitude and frequency content of volcanic eruption tremor.

The Ocean-Land Connection of Droughts

by Marc F. P. Bierkens 12 October 202014 April 2023

Around 16 percent of large-scale droughts over land originate above the ocean and these types of droughts are more extensive and severe than droughts that originate over land.

Traces of Impacts on Warm Planetesimals Early in Solar System

by Laurent G. J. Montési and J. Filiberto 9 October 20208 March 2022

Meteorite NWA 11004 contains evidence of melting preceding an impact dated to 4546±36 Ma. Short lived radioactive decay had already heated the parent body of this meteorite before the impact.

Smart Water Metering Need Not Compromise People’s Privacy

by Jim Hall 7 October 20201 October 2020

Scientists have devised a way of preserving privacy for smart water metering users while also providing water suppliers with information they can use to improve the efficiency of water services.

Radon Enrichment in the Volcanic Plume of Mount Etna

by Corentin Caudron 5 October 202017 November 2022

More than 70 passive sensors on Mount Etna have captured the first radon measurements in volcanic plumes and show that radon could affect people around volcanoes.

Earthquake Hazard Hanging in the Balance

by T. Parsons 1 October 202011 February 2022

Earthquake hazard calculations for California’s coast are refined with a view of precariously balanced rocks that would have fallen if the largest predicted shaking happened in the past 20,000 years.

The Importance of Solar Lyman-alpha Emissions for Space Weather

by Michael A. Hapgood 29 September 202013 October 2022

Lyman-alpha emissions convey a major part of the solar-flare photon energy reaching Earth and play a significant role in flare-driven enhancements of ionospheric conductivity.
