Continental shelves and estuaries are natural sources of nitrous oxide, but current global estimates of these emissions carry a lot of uncertainty, a problem that calls for regional studies.Read More »Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Volcanology
A new international collaboration found that dry inland waters—no matter where they were located—contributed significant global carbon dioxide emissions.Read More »Climate Change
Most climate variability is organized by a simple principle—scaling laws—allowing us to understand past and future climate change. Read More »Climate Change
Increasing education in the developing world could lead to a modest increase in carbon emissions due to economic growth, but education could also reduce the negative impact of climate change on vulnerable populations.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
Using electromagnetic waves originating in the ionosphere and magnetosphere, conductivity profiles reaching the deep upper mantle show surprising variability in water content.Read More »Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Volcanology
New meteoric 10Be data quantify fast erosion of slates in the Zhuoshui River catchment in Taiwan and demonstrate the influence of lithology on landscape steepness.Read More »Geohealth
