Bank Retreat Controls River and Estuary Morphodynamics

by Kun Zhao, Giovanni Coco, Zheng Gong, Stephen E. Darby, Stefano Lanzoni, Fan Xu, Kaili Zhang and Ian Townend 13 September 202213 September 2022

Understanding and predicting the geomorphological response of fluvial and tidal channels to bank retreat underpins the robust management of water courses and the protection of wetlands.

Old Igneous Rocks Hold the Key to Crustal Thickness Evolution

by Peter Luffi and Mihai Ducea 7 September 202229 September 2022

The chemical composition of orogenic igneous rocks and their zircons is sensitive to crustal thickness and can be used to quantify the evolution of Moho depths beneath continents back in time.

Modeling the Ice Flow and Evolution of Glaciers

by Harry Zekollari 31 August 202219 January 2023

Glaciers are crucial water resources and important sea level contributors. To accurately model glacier evolution, their mass balance and ice flow processes must be accounted for.

Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East Face Rapid Climate Change

by George Zittis and Jos Lelieveld 25 August 202221 February 2023

Observational and modeling studies identify the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East as a prominent climate change hotspot associated with weather extremes that have major impacts on society.

Toxic “Forever Chemicals” Accumulate Above the Water Table

Rachel Fritts, Science Writer by Rachel Fritts 24 August 202224 August 2022

PFAS pose a public health risk, but there are major gaps in our knowledge of how these chemicals move through the ground.

Mysteries of the Global Carbon Cycle

by David Crisp, Han Dolman, Toste Tanhua, Galen A. McKinley, Judith Hauck, Ana Bastos and Stephen Sitch 22 June 202221 July 2022

Less than half of the anthropogenic carbon dioxide remains in the atmosphere to drive climate change. The rest is being removed by mysterious processes in the land, biosphere, and ocean.

The Big Data Revolution Unlocks New Opportunities for Seismology

by Stephen J. Arrowsmith, Daniel T. Trugman, Karianne Bergen and Beatrice Magnani 9 June 202214 June 2022

The field of seismology is entering a new era where our understanding of earthquakes and the solid earth is increasingly driven by new Big Data experiments and algorithms.

The Kinetics of the Seismic Cycle

by Randolph T. Williams and Åke Fagereng 7 June 202214 September 2022

Large earthquakes are necessarily punctuated by some degree of strength recovery, such as “fault healing”, but does quartz cementation during fluid-fault interactions facilitate that process?

Mountains Undergo Enhanced Impacts of Climate Change

by Nicholas Pepin, Carolina Adler, Sven Kotlarski and Elisa Palazzi 10 May 202210 November 2022

As climate change persists, amplified temperature increases in mountains and changes in precipitation will diminish snow and ice.
