Drought Conditions Expose Rivers to Hotter Water Temperatures
As climate change warms the planet and droughts are anticipated to become more frequent and extreme, a new study reveals how reduced water flows and rising atmospheric temperatures are set to heat our rivers - creating major challenges for aquatic life, ecosystems, and society.
Drought on the Rio Negro
July through October fall within the dry season in the western and northern Amazon rainforest, but a particularly acute lack of rain during this period in 2023 has pushed the region into a severe drought.
Decontamination Method Zaps Pollutants From Soil
Rice researchers help create rapid high-temperature process that removes heavy metals, organic contaminants.
Researchers Test Seafloor Fiber Optic Cable as an Earthquake Early Warning System
One of the biggest challenges for earthquake early warning systems (EEW) is the lack of seismic stations located offshore of heavily populated coastlines, where some of the world’s most seismically active regions are located.
Climate Network Analysis Helps Pinpoint Regions at Higher Risk of Extreme Weather
Tracking climate behavior could connect the dots between major weather events and help with forecasting on a global scale.
