Dry Patch of Land Connects Rainfall Across Continents
Novel modeling experiments show that heating near North Africa leads to drying near North America.
Sea Change: The Ocean's Powerful Effect on Earth Systems
A new modeling approach shows that the ocean circulation determines the varying rate of global temperature response to carbon dioxide.
Oceanic Divide Factors Into Tropical Cyclone Strength
Sea surface temperatures have less influence on tropical cyclone intensification in the Atlantic than in the Pacific.
Tethys Tackles Downscaling Challenge for Regional Water Withdrawals
Open-source tool helps connect high-resolution sectoral models and broader integrated human-Earth system models.
Demeter - A Land Use and Land Cover Change Disaggregation Model
Demeter provides a flexible and repeatable methodology to connect models at varying scales to account for land surface changes.
Water Management Influences Long-Term Changes in River Flows
Changes in water volume tend to be smaller in managed watersheds but occur earlier.
Wet Aluminum Hydroxide and Oxyhydroxide Particles Release Hydrogen When Irradiated
Vitrifying nuclear waste for storage is complicated by aluminum and understanding this behavior is vital. Research suggests that upon radiolysis, the properties of humid aluminum particles do not change substantially but hydrogen is formed.
