Toxic “Forever Chemicals” Accumulate Above the Water Table

Rachel Fritts, Science Writer by Rachel Fritts 24 August 202216 April 2024

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.

Tracking Heat Gains and Losses in the Nordic Seas

by Lars H. Smedsrud 31 January 20221 February 2022

The Nordic Seas experience influxes of warm water and losses of heat to the atmosphere with knock-on effects on sea ice, glacier retreat, and carbon dioxide uptake.
