56+ min ago  (160+ words) Why is it important to monitor the surface waters on Earth?" More than half of the world's population lives within three kilometers of a freshwater body. When seasonal flooding behaves as anticipated, it provides essential nutrient replenishment to soils and…...

1+ hour, 19+ min ago  (228+ words) The Sun continuously blasts charged, magnetic field'carrying particles, or plasma, in all directions. This solar wind interacts with the magnetic fields and atmospheres of several of our solar system's planets and other bodies, sculpting long magnetic tails of charged particles'magnetotails'that…...

1+ week, 2+ day ago  (291+ words) Flood inundation models are tools that predict where water flows, how deep it gets, how fast it moves and how long it remains during a flood event. But despite recent advances in flood inundation models, some flood modeling paradigms are…...

1+ week, 2+ day ago  (361+ words) Eos - Science News by AGU Machine learning (ML)-based models hold great potential to enhance and perhaps transform simulations of the Earth's weather and climate across the range from synoptic to seasonal to annual to multi-decadal time scales. However, ML-based models…...
