New research looks at how changes in the arrangement of trees and canopy thickness influence the transport of water from the land surface to the atmosphere.Read More »Biogeosciences
New modeling indicates that global subsurface ocean currents distribute submerged microplastics along very different routes than those traveled by floating plastic debris.Read More »Climate Change
Past ocean surface conditions suggest that over the past 800,000 years, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels typically rose on millennial timescales when Atlantic overturning was weaker and vice versa.Read More »
A high-resolution map of surface displacements indicates that the 2017 Chiapas earthquake caused substantial creep along a segment of the San Andreas Fault, located 3,000 kilometers away.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
The northern Bering Sea is experiencing record-setting low winter sea ice levels, which are impacting plankton, fish, and other animals in the region.Read More »Biogeosciences
Scientists find links between delayed freezing of Alaskan soils and higher atmospheric methane concentrations during the cold season.Read More »Climate Change
Researchers used luminescence signals from marine sediment cores to bolster estimates of precipitation levels on land over the past 30,000 years.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
