Global climate models do not reproduce observed trends of the Southern polar ocean surface, but an increase in wind-transported sea ice that melts and inhibits mixing may account for the disparity.Read More »Climate Change
Scientists are concerned that current climate models do not fully account for the impact of atmospheric conditions on the Greenland Ice Sheet and, consequently, may dramatically underestimate melting.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
In older cities, a single system of pipes may transport sewage and stormwater runoff. As the climate crisis brings more intense storms, urban areas like Toronto are overhauling their drainage systems.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
Signals in layers of sedimentary rock hint at climates and ecosystems come and gone. Understanding this history can help us forecast the future, but challenges abound.Read More »Ocean Sciences
Papers are invited for a new cross-journal special collection presenting advances in understanding the physical and biogeochemical processes associated with landscape fires and their impacts.Read More »Planetary Sciences
A new study uses the planetary boundaries concept to formulate an approach to water management that considers both global and local limits to water cycle modifications.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
Streams that flow down mountainsides are more turbulent than those that run along forest floors, which leads to faster gas exchange between water and air. Read More »
