A deep learning model trained with geophysical data recorded during the well-documented 2018 Kilauea volcano eruption, Hawaii, predicts recurrent caldera collapse events.
Modeling
Swedish Icebreaker Is the First to Dig Into Greenland’s Remote Victoria Fjord
Data collected aboard Oden will shed light on the dynamics of the Greenland Ice Sheet.
An All-Community Push to “Close the Loops” on Southern Ocean Dynamics
A new study highlights the connected nature of the Southern Ocean dynamic system, the research priorities needed to understand its influence on climate change, the importance of cross-disciplinary collaborations.
Sediment Dampens the Impact of Glaciation on Cenozoic Denudation
Rates of continental-scale sediment flux and denudation are similar between glacial and interglacial periods when the aggradation of glacier-eroded sediment inhibits fluvial erosion downstream.
Spectral Solar Radiative Transfer in Plant Canopies
Spectrally resolved radiative transfer is needed to compute reliable estimates of sunlight transmission and photolysis of molecules within plant canopies.
Investigating Origins of CO2 Ice on Uranian Moons
A new study investigates the role of volatile migration in the unique Uranian thermal environment.
Operational Earthquake Forecasting – What Is It and How Is It Done?
While earthquakes cannot be deterministically predicted, operational earthquake forecasting systems can provide valuable insights into the likelihood of future quakes.
Improving Climate Models: Black Carbon Mixing and Shape Effects
A new study introduces a parameterization scheme to capture the complex optical properties of atmospheric black carbon, accounting for its mixing state, nonsphericity, and heterogeneous coatings.
Future Global Flood Hazards at Unprecedented Accuracy
A global flood hazard map at 30-meter resolution is constructed using latest hydrology, topography, and climate data, and its accuracy is approaching that of local to regional scale flood inundation maps.
Climate Model Simulates Unusually High Heat over the Southern Ocean
U.K. researchers compare HadGEM3-GC3.1 simulations of near-surface air temperatures with those from other state-of-the-art models.
