Linking Critical Zone Water Storage and Ecosystems

by R. C. Bales and W. E. Dietrich 14 October 202025 March 2022

The geology and the structure of Earth’s critical zone control subsurface moisture storage potential and determine the resilience of forest and river ecosystems to drought.

How River Capture Affects the Evolution of Aquatic Organisms

by David Shultz 28 September 202027 April 2022

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.

How Forest Degradation Affects Carbon and Water Cycles

by Kate Wheeling 25 August 202029 September 2021

Forest degradation may be as widespread as deforestation in the Amazon, but its impact on energy, carbon, and water fluxes is less well understood.

¿Cuántas Modificaciones Puede Aguantar el Ciclo de Agua de la Tierra?

by Aaron Sidder 20 July 202029 September 2021

El marco teórico que estudia los límites planetarios define cuánta perturbación humana pueden soportar los diversos procesos del sistema terrestre, pero puede que no describa adecuadamente el ciclo del agua o la medida en que lo hemos alterado.

Modeling Water Stress for Shared Water Resources

by Kate Wheeling 16 July 202029 September 2021

Billions of people rely on water resources that originate across borders. New research evaluates how climate change and increased water demand could affect future water stress.

How Much Modification Can Earth’s Water Cycle Handle?

by Aaron Sidder 15 May 202029 September 2021

The planetary boundaries framework defines how much human disturbance various Earth system processes can take, but it may not adequately depict the water cycle or the extent to which we’ve altered it.

Shaping Water Management with Planetary Boundaries

by Aaron Sidder 20 April 202010 October 2021

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.

A Graceful Way to Study Daily Water Storage on Land

by David Shultz 17 April 202029 September 2021

A new analysis technique could help scientists improve the temporal resolution of satellite gravity data and see trends in terrestrial water storage and movement in near real time.
