1+ week, 4+ day ago   (69+ words) Sarah Stanley, a freelance writer for Eos, has a background in environmental microbiology but covers a wide range of science stories for a variety of audiences. She has also written for PLOS, the University of Washington, Kaiser Permanente, Stanford Medicine,…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago   (382+ words) A schematic of an open-system mantle melting and melt migration process, as modeled by Ozawa [2001] and implemented in the new GUI. As (a) an assemblage of minerals upwells and (b) crosses the solidus and begins melting, the melt is retained along grain…...

1+ week, 6+ day ago   (258+ words) As environmental conditions change, it is increasingly important to understand the structure and properties of the Earth’s critical zone, the layer where rock, soil, water, air, and living organisms meet and interact. While several geophysical methods provide images of the…...

2+ week, 2+ day ago   (608+ words) Here, sediment deposits mark the high-water lines of floods that surged through the canyon centuries before any stream gauges were there to measure them. In particular, Baker and his colleagues studied slackwater deposits, fine-grained sediments emplaced by floodwaters in sheltered…...

2+ week, 4+ day ago   (1064+ words) The Colorado River and its reservoirs, which supply water for about 40 million people and 30 tribes across seven states and two countries, is drying up. Lake Mead on the Arizona-Nevada border, which has the largest storage capacity of any reservoir in…...

2+ week, 4+ day ago   (35+ words) 如图左所示，海表温度（SST）会存在昼夜差异。一项新研究表明，更精确地考虑这些变化，有助于改进对厄尔尼诺-南方涛动（ENSO）不对称性的建模。图片来源：Xiaodan Yang This is an authorized translation of an Eos article. 本文是Eos文章的授权翻译。 This translation was made by Wiley. 本文翻译由Wiley提供。 Read this article on WeChat. 在微信上分享本文。...

3+ week, 2+ day ago   (566+ words) From 2020 to 2022, California faced one of its driest periods on record, in part because of human-caused climate change. Though the drought has eased, scientists have noticed lasting effects on the state’s aquifers that may affect their ability to store water…...

3+ week, 3+ day ago   (236+ words) Active crustal deformation in the Eastern and Southern Alps demonstrating rigid block tectonics with indentation and lateral (out of orogen) crustal extrusion tectonics as the main players. Credit: Grützner et al. [2026], Figure 17 The Eastern and Southern Alps deform slowly compared…...

3+ week, 4+ day ago   (308+ words) Rapid rock uplift biases estimate of channel steepness—numerical simulations predict that faster uplift generates longer hillslopes that extend well beyond the arbitrarily fixed catchment area that is used to mark where channels begin. The resulting estimates of local “channel…...
