Wisconsin geologists are testing using drones equipped with thermal cameras to measure shallow soil depths in areas prone to groundwater contamination.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
Earthquake hazard calculations for California’s coast are refined with a view of precariously balanced rocks that would have fallen if the largest predicted shaking happened in the past 20,000 years.Read More »
Geoengineering strategies to slow sea ice melting would affect not only Earth's climate but also the biology and chemistry of the oceans, atmosphere, and ice.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
By way of agriculture and industry, humans have major influences on the critical zone. Our past and present effects on the landscape, soil, and water will echo for a long time to come.Read More »Biogeosciences
River basins are dynamic environments that are always changing and reorganizing under geologic forces. New research investigates how this shape shifting influences aquatic speciation and extinction.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
Una tecnología de retención de agua subterránea recientemente reactivada podría conservar el agua y aumentar drásticamente el rendimiento de los cultivos en paisajes áridos con suelos arenosos como el África Subsahariana.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
The lasting influence humans have on Earth’s critical zone—and how geologic forces have mediated those influences—is revealed in studies of soil and carbon migration.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
