Investigating Agricultural Trade’s Impact on Global Water Resources
Variations in the level of market globalization can greatly affect the amount of water required to meet future global demand for agricultural commodities.
Active Ocean Dynamical Adjustment Plays No Role in Southern Ocean Heat Storage
A modeling study finds that multiple factors almost perfectly balance under anthropogenic greenhouse gas forcing, leaving no footprint on the dynamically induced ocean heat storage in the Southern Ocean.
Ecosystem Metabolism in the Columbia River Contrasts with Small Rivers
Metabolism metrics provide information about biological activity and carbon cycling in rivers. Conditions in large rivers differ from smaller rivers and require adjustments to existing methods.
