20 Years of Biogeosciences Research: Looking Back to Forge Ahead
A new special collection invites review papers to mark the 20th anniversary of the Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences with a focus on what we have learned and what is still unknown.
Air Flow Dynamics in Wet Soils: Challenges and Knowledge Gaps
Modeling air flow in wet porous media relies on quantifying the combined role of fluid and media properties and flow dynamics on the microscale displacement mechanisms and macroscale unstable flow.
Unlocking the Secrets of Floods: Breakthroughs in Riverine and Coastal Modeling
To enhance flood modeling, it is imperative to gain a comprehensive understanding of the causative mechanisms and cutting-edge models and tools, while also acknowledging their uncertainties.
Reducing Aerosol Climate-Forcing Uncertainty: A Three-Way Street
To reduce persistent aerosol-climate-forcing uncertainty, new in situ aerosol and cloud measurement programs are needed, plus much better integration of satellite and suborbital measurements with models.
