A Nearly 100-Year-Old Physics Model Replicates Modern Arctic Ice Melt

Rachel Crowell, Science Writer by Rachel Crowell 2 August 20195 January 2022

The model was previously used to describe the behavior of ferromagnets in the presence of external magnetic fields.

Bringing Climate Projections Down to Size for Water Managers

Kimberly M. S. Cartier, News Writing and Production Intern for Eos.org by Kimberly M. S. Cartier 26 July 20193 April 2023

Hydrologists are creating watershed-scale projections for water resources managers and tools that managers can use to plan for the effects of climate change.

Treating Colloids as Clusters Better Predicts Their Behavior

by Terri Cook 25 July 20196 February 2023

New research suggests that an accurate prediction of colloidal particle mobilization in the environment should account for the effect of clustering.

Revealing the Arctic Crust

by Claudio Faccenna 25 July 201924 March 2023

A new model, ArcCRUST, reveals with unprecedent resolution the geometry and the thermal state of the oceanic crust of the High Arctic and Circum-Arctic domain.

The Little Ice Age Wasn’t Global, but Current Climate Change Is

Javier Barbuzano, Science Writer by Javier Barbuzano 24 July 20197 February 2022

None of the cold and warm epochs from the past 2,000 years were global events, but the current period of climate change is more intense and is happening simultaneously across the entire planet.

One Step Closer to a Milestone in Climate Modeling

by David Shultz 24 July 20196 March 2023

A pair of revisions to the Energy Exascale Earth System Model improves its ability to capture late afternoon and nocturnal rainfall as well as the timing and movement of convection.

Finessing Granular Flows

by A. Revil 16 July 201928 March 2023

Granular flows are important in geophysics to the pyroclastic flow, debris flow, and avalanches. Understanding their complex and rich physics is therefore important in simulating their dynamics.

New Proof That Accretion Disks Align with Their Black Holes

Rachel Crowell, Science Writer by Rachel Crowell 10 July 201924 May 2022

In the most detailed and highest-resolution black hole simulation to date, an international team of researchers showed the Bardeen-Petterson effect for the first time.

How Diverse Observations Improve Groundwater Models

by O. S. Schilling, P. Cook and P. Brunner 5 July 201919 July 2022

Including diverse observations of exchange fluxes, tracer concentrations and residence times in groundwater model calibration results in more robust predictions than using only classical observations.
