Research Spotlights
Research spotlights are plain-language summaries of recent articles published in AGU’s suite of 24 journals.
Rivers in the Antarctic Sky, Captured in 3D
A new study shows that atmospheric rivers may be responsible for up to 90% of Antarctica’s annual precipitation.
The Surprising Link Between a Cold Blob and the Indian Monsoon
Climate processes that at first glance appear separate can actually be intimately linked, modeling shows.
Carbon-Rich Rocks May Have Cooled the Ancient Martian Atmosphere
Data from the Perseverance rover indicate abundant carbonates in Jezero Crater, a finding with implications for Mars’s climatic history.
Stretching and Squeezing Release Glacial Meltwater
Seasonal changes in the forces that pull and push ice play a major role in when meltwater runs through glaciers and into the ocean.
Improving Eddy Tower Evapotranspiration Estimates
Understanding evapotranspiration rates is important. A new technique aims to make their calculation more efficient.
Keeping Humans in the Loop Improves Flood Forecasting
Artificial intelligence and machine learning can improve flood predictions—but human expertise still matters for accurate warnings, new research says.
How Much Will Western Wildfires Worsen Under Warming?
A new study reevaluates the use of vapor pressure deficit, or VPD, in climate models to predict increases in area burned by wildfire across the U.S. West.
Seismic Attenuation Techniques Reveal What Lies Beneath Taiwan
A new imaging modality explores the complex subduction‐collision transition zone below southern Taiwan.
