Weather Extremes Influence Human Migration Between Mexico and the United States
Undocumented immigrants from agricultural areas in Mexico are most vulnerable to drought and seasonal weather patterns.
理解区域海平面上升的途径
更精细分辨率的模型,以及对大陆架-海洋过程的更好理解,是理解不同的海岸将如何受到海平面上升、极端风暴潮和海浪影响的关键。
Thawing Permafrost Is Affecting Climate, but It’s Unclear by How Much
Models produce widely varying estimates of how ecosystems in the northern permafrost region are currently affecting the global greenhouse gas budget.
Soil Salinization: A Rising Threat to Ecosystems and Global Food Security
As soil salinization intensifies, it poses serious threats to ecosystems, soil health, global food security and socio-economic stability.
A Close Asteroid Encounter May Have Once Given Earth a Ring
An unusual concentration of impact craters suggests that they may have been caused by the breakup of an asteroid that created a temporary debris ring around Earth.
Machine Learning Could Improve Extreme Weather Warnings
A deep learning technique could reduce the error in 10-day weather forecasts by more than 90%, allowing communities to better prepare for extreme events such as heat waves.
The Delicate Balance of Permafrost in Arctic River Floodplains
To evaluate the vulnerability of permafrost in Arctic floodplain landscapes to warming, scientists explore dynamics of its loss and reformation.
Simulating Arctic Carbon Emissions in a Warming World
Not all climate models include carbon from thawing permafrost, and those that do often disagree. Scientists are working to better inform models and assess how these crucial materials are simulated.
A Fuller Great Salt Lake Would Likely Narrow an Environmental Health Gap
Pacific Islander and Hispanic residents of Salt Lake City would benefit most from higher lake levels and reduced dust pollution.
