Whether you’re considering short-term or long-term changes to water quality after a wildfire, scientists agree that sedimentation is a big concern. Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
Nationwide, civil engineers consider precipitation values from NOAA to design their structures. But those values are missing another contributor to flood risk: snowmelt. Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
The geology and the structure of Earth’s critical zone control subsurface moisture storage potential and determine the resilience of forest and river ecosystems to drought.
To achieve the goals in their aspirational diversity statements, organizations must actively recruit, mentor, and support scientists from every sector of society. Read More »Geohealth
En un innovador ensayo clínico se estudia el impacto del zinc en la mitigación de los efectos sobre la salud relacionados con la minería de uranio. Éste se lleva a cabo mediante la “participación bidireccional” entre los Navajos y las comunidades médicas. Education
We demonstrate the effectiveness of straightforward strategies using widely available auto-captioning tools to greatly improve accessibility of jargon-rich content.
