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 »Climate Change
Scientists studying wood samples preserved by Old Faithful have determined that the famous geyser was dormant for several decades during the 13th century due to a megadrought.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.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
Both satellite observations and model simulations reveal that more aggregated convection amplifies the increase in extreme rainfall events on a year-to-year basis.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
Simulations of tropical ocean convection help distinguish climate effects resulting from large-scale changes in atmospheric circulation from those resulting from higher temperatures.Read More »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.Read More »Climate Change
Researchers studying sediment cores from the Gulf of Alaska have pinpointed when the Cordilleran Ice Sheet, now extinct, disgorged icebergs into the Pacific Ocean. Read More »Biogeosciences
