Can Any Single Satellite Keep Up with the World’s Floods?
How well does our current satellite fleet capture the world’s major floods? Scientists turn to the Dartmouth Flood Observatory record for a data-driven answer.
Synergistic Integration of Flood Inundation Modeling Methods
Recent flood modeling advances are trending into silos that compete rather than complement each other, hampering the opportunity for transformative progress toward protecting lives and…
Distant Cousins? How Field Work on Earth Could Help Us to Better Understand Titan
What do Saturn’s moon Titan and the Earth have in common? Quite a lot as it turns out, from hydrocarbon deposits to polar clouds, lakes…
The Future of Earth’s Future
With the expansion of the journal’s scope, the Editor-in-Chief of Earth’s Future appoints three Deputy Editors to oversee new thematic areas.
Rates of Mineral Dissolution from the Flask to Enhanced Weathering
Assessing the rate that weathering could draw carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere requires understanding why lab- and field-based rate measurements differ by orders of…
Terrestrial Planets Guide Our Search for Habitable Exoplanets
Earth and its rocky neighbours reveal how planetary processes—core-mantle differentiation, crust formation, tectonics, and geochemical cycling—between interior and surficial reservoirs shape habitability.
How Frozen Ground Controls Water in a Warming World
Frozen ground acts like a hidden underground dam. As it thaws, water pathways shift, changing rivers, wetlands, ecosystems, and infrastructure across cold regions.
Salt: A Vital Compound for Science and Society
From salt basins in the Persian Gulf to lithium reserves in Chile, evaporite minerals accumulate in sedimentary basins under tectonic and climatic processes of significance to scientists worldwide.
Introducing the New EIC of Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology
We are delighted to announce that Sarah Feakins has just taken over as Editor-in-Chief of Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology.
How Radar Reveals the Hidden Fabric of Ice Sheets
A new review describes how measuring the polarization of radar waves in ice reveals glacier crystal structure, with implications for understanding past and future ice flow and sea-level rise.
Editorial Handover at Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists
The outgoing and incoming Editors-in-Chief of Perspectives reflect on the first years of this new journal and forge plans for the challenges ahead.
Editorial Handover at Tectonics
The outgoing and incoming Editors-in-Chief of Tectonics reflect on recent years of growth and expansion in the journal while they plan for the challenges ahead.
A Double-Edged Sword: The Global Oxychlorine Cycle on Mars
Global detections of oxychlorine salts reveal a complex, 4-billion-year chemical cycle on Mars. They can act as de-icing agents, oxidants, a hazard and a vital resource for future human exploration.
Coastal Wetlands Restoration, Carbon, and the Hidden Role of Groundwater
Coastal wetland restoration offers major carbon benefits, and understanding groundwater processes helps explain how these ecosystems store carbon over the long term.
Tsunamis from the Sky
Not all tsunamis come from the seafloor, some are triggered by the atmosphere, driven by fast-moving storms and pressure waves, and can strike coasts with little warning.
