Rising Concerns of Climate Extremes and Land Subsidence Impacts
Increasing interplay among extreme events and land subsidence impacts calls for urgent mitigation and policy action to reduce detrimental ramifications to infrastructure and people.
Two Equations that Unlock El Niño
Despite the El Niño–Southern Oscillation’s global reach and complex ocean–atmosphere interactions across timescales, two simple, elegant equations capture its key dynamics and defining properties.
Rock Glacier Velocity: Monitoring Permafrost Amid Climate Change
The movement of unique landforms called “rock glaciers” give insight into how climate change is impacting permafrost in mountainous regions.
Keeping Soil Healthy: Why It Matters and How Science Can Help
Healthy soil is the foundation of our food, clean water, and a stable climate, and cutting-edge science helps us to protect it.
Decoding Crop Evapotranspiration
The intricate factors influencing cropland evapotranspiration is uncovered in a new article, from stressors to diverse management practices, and reveals critical insights into changing climates.
An Air Parcel’s Journey Through the Stratosphere
The “age of stratospheric air” measures the speed of the global transport circulation in the stratosphere, which is crucial for understanding the distribution of important trace gases, like ozone.
Erosion: An Overlooked Contributor to the Carbon Cycle
Since physical and chemical erosion yield comparable carbon fluxes, studying both together is essential to avoid biases in erosion-driven carbon flux estimates.
Topography and the Terrestrial Water Cycle
The relationship between topography and the terrestrial water cycle has been documented for thousands of years, yet there is still much to learn about Earth’s complex dynamics – both above, at, and below the surface.
Asian Megadeltas: Tackling Coastal Flooding Challenges
Integrating scientific insights into current actions is crucial for steering future research directions and underpinning informed management of coastal flooding in Asian deltas.
