A new study quantifies persistent phosphorus in a drainage basin in Sweden and points out risks and oversights to factor in to future stream management.Read More »Climate Change
Analysis of temperature and precipitation extremes in two generations of CMIP climate models revealed similarities in regional climate sensitivities, contrasting with divergent global sensitivities.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
New research reveals that tiny single-celled organisms in the Arctic Ocean are growing more numerous as climate change thins the ice.Read More »Mathematical Geophysics
Many oceanic properties are not directly observed but are instead estimated using proxy measurements. A new method uses physics-based correlations to reduce uncertainty in this relationship.Read More »Climate Change
A millennial-scale ocean simulation indicates that oxygen gains in the deep ocean may offset oxygen losses in the upper water layer under a protracted climate change scenario.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
New research indicates that nutrient loads delivered to South American ecosystems by dust originating in Africa are far lower than suggested in previous studies.Read More »Biogeosciences
New models indicate how dams worldwide influence the mix of nutrients in river water reaching the ocean. As more dams are built, changing nutrient loads may adversely affect coastal ecosystems.Read More »
New research finds adaptation of ports to sea level rise cheap compared to new construction needed to keep up with growing maritime trade.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
Researchers used an up-to-date global magnetic anomaly data set to track the history of magnetic field reversals and obtain more accurate estimates of tectonic spreading rates.Read More »
