Zhurong Rover Spots Evidence of Recent Liquid Water on Mars

by Katherine Kornei 14 June 202214 June 2022

The Chinese rover identified hydrated minerals—likely associated with groundwater—in sediments dating to the Red Planet’s most recent geologic period.

Satellites’ Lasers Reveal Changes in Earth’s Water Movement

by JoAnna Wendel 22 March 202227 April 2022

The laser-based instruments aboard the GRACE-FO satellites may be extended to other geophysical applications to collect data on other submonthly mass changes in Earth’s system.

Water Quality Policy Must Consider Stored Watershed Phosphorous

by D. Scott Mackay 6 December 20213 December 2021

Phosphorous stored in watersheds and affects water quality for decades. A new model predicts phosphorus accumulation and depletion, and the consequences for water quality conservation measures.

Explosive Volcanic Eruption Powered by Water-Saturated Magma

by Katherine Kornei 26 September 20192 May 2022

Little seismic unrest preceded the 2014 eruption of a stratovolcano in Indonesia, which suggests that the eruption was kick-started internally by volatile-triggered overpressure.

First Analysis of Asteroid Water Reveals Earth-Like Makeup

by Kimberly M. S. Cartier 1 May 20198 March 2022

Samples returned from the surface of an asteroid show that these small bodies may have more water than previously thought and could have delivered that water to Earth.

Local Heat Source Needed to Form Liquid Water Lake on Mars

by Terri Cook 12 March 201910 March 2022

Thermal modeling suggests that active magmatism in the past few hundred thousand years could account for the presence of a large lake previously hypothesized beneath the Red Planet’s southern ice cap.
