New research highlights differences in drought and flood hazards globally under 1.5°C versus 2°C temperature increases and estimates associated human and economic effects.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
Researchers identify the main sources of uncertainty in projections of global glacier mass change, which is expected to add about 8–16 centimeters to sea level, through this century.Read More »Ocean Sciences
Scientists long eschewed studying lakes in winter, expecting that cold temperatures and ice cover limited activity below the surface. Recent findings to the contrary are changing limnologists’ views.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
Ensemble learning models for estimating past changes of terrestrial water storage from climate are presented and tested in the Pearl River basin, China.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
Papers are invited for a new special collection presenting advances in modeling in glaciology that improve understanding of glaciers and ice sheets and their interactions with the Earth system.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
Handprint thinking, a concept developed about a decade ago, is meant to complement ecological footprints and frame human actions in terms of how much good they can do to promote sustainability.Read More »Geohealth
An association between drinking water salinity and neonatal and infant mortality in Bangladesh indicates the critical role of water salinity on child health. Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
Periodic pulses of cooler temperatures may have disrupted the warm, humid, late Miocene climate that sustained the region’s great apes long after most species disappeared elsewhere.Read More »
