El marco teórico que estudia los límites planetarios define cuánta perturbación humana pueden soportar los diversos procesos del sistema terrestre, pero puede que no describa adecuadamente el ciclo del agua o la medida en que lo hemos alterado.Read More »Climate Change
Billions of people rely on water resources that originate across borders. New research evaluates how climate change and increased water demand could affect future water stress.Read More »Biogeosciences
A new spaceborne sensor monitors Earth's surface temperature at a resolution higher than ever before, providing information on ecosystem responses to changes in water availability and climate stressors.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
Reduced greenhouse gas emissions for a year or two won’t slow down climate change, but they may throw off scientists’ ability to model short-term phenomena.Read More »
Handprint thinking, a concept developed about a decade ago, is meant to complement ecological footprints and frame human actions in terms of how much good they can do to promote sustainability.Read More »Biogeosciences
Scientists studying a cyanobacterium isolated from rock samples in the Atacama Desert found out how the bacteria extract water to live. Their results may help identify likely sites for life on Mars.Read More »
In July, Eos looks at the incredible capabilities scientists have developed to recreate the enormous pressures and temperatures that exist far below the planet’s surface.Read More »Ocean Sciences
