Минимальные свидетельства наличия углерода вечной мерзлоты в реке Колыме в Сибири
Новое исследование показало, что арктические реки в настоящее время переносят ограниченное количество растворенного органического углерода из вечной мерзлоты, что имеет значение для понимания изменения углеродного цикла в регионе и его потенциальной возможности ускорить изменение климата.
Exploring Just How Extreme Future Storms Could Get
A novel approach to storm simulations could help prepare for increasingly heavy precipitation events.
Better Bottom-Up Estimates of Wetland Methane Emissions
Limited monitoring of methane emissions from tropical wetlands could be obscuring these environments’ role in climate change.
Probing Rare Hot Plasma Flows in the Upper Atmosphere
Postmidnight flows appear to be triggered by the same mechanism that drives more frequently observed evening flows.
Optimizing Carbonate Classification on Mars
Combining data from several of the Perseverance rover’s spectroscopic sensors offers a more accurate means to classify carbonate minerals that may hold hints of ancient life.
Mars Has Far Fewer Minerals Than Earth Does
The development of plate tectonics and life on Earth provided avenues for mineral evolution that did not occur on Mars, resulting in relatively limited mineral diversity on the Red Planet.
When It’s Too Hot for Fans
Electric fans keep vulnerable people cool in a warming world. But new research shows there are increasing numbers of hours when—and places where—using fans may be dangerous.
Earth’s “Third Pole” and Its Role in Global Climate
The Tibetan Plateau is a major force in the global climate system and a hot spot for climate change. A new review summarizes the state of knowledge and identifies research needs related to the region.
El cambio climático está secando a los suelos
Los suelos terrestres se están secando a medida que el planeta se calienta, pero aún no está claro que tan seco es muy seco.
