Shrinking snowpack, thawing permafrost, and shifting precipitation patterns have widespread consequences. Can new technologies—and public policies—help communities adapt?Read More »Biogeosciences
A noxious weed’s success in Australia could indicate that some plants are benefitting from our carbon-rich atmosphere, becoming more invasive, competitive, and toxic.Read More »Biogeosciences
New research finds that Actinobacteria in lava caves fix carbon and survive independent of surface inputs, offering a fresh perspective in the search for life beyond Earth.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
As Earth’s climate changes at an unprecedented rate, the Surface Atmosphere Integrated Field Laboratory is studying precipitation on an unprecedented scale.Read More »Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Volcanology
New research indicates the cooling effect of rare, large eruptions will increase, whereas the effects of more frequent, smaller eruptions will be reduced.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
A new study corrects poor-performing satellite-based rainfall estimates with gauge data and also fills gauge data gaps using well-performing satellite-based rainfall estimates.Read More »Biogeosciences
Warfare exacerbates the impacts of drought to produce food insecurity crises that last long after the drought has passed, new research documents.Read More »Geohealth
En un nuevo estudio, investigadores aplicaron un modelo global del sistema Tierra para estimar los impactos de las reducciones de emisiones por sector.Read More »Geohealth
Pressure from both magma and gas can trigger eruptions. Monitoring degassing can help predict eruptions but only if the magma system is well understood first.Read More »
