Record-High Arctic Freshwater Will Flow Through Canadian Waters, Affecting Marine Environment and Atlantic Ocean Currents
Freshwater is accumulating in the Arctic Ocean. The Beaufort Sea, which is the largest Arctic Ocean freshwater reservoir, has increased its freshwater content by 40% over the past two decades.
New Sensor Paves Way to Low-cost Sensitive Methane Measurements
Researchers have developed a new sensor that could allow practical and low-cost detection of low concentrations of methane gas.
Positive Reinforcements Help Algorithm Forecast Underground Natural Reserves
Texas A&M University researchers have designed a reinforcement-based algorithm that automates the process of predicting the properties of the underground environment, facilitating the accurate forecasting of oil and gas reserves.
Glaciers Accelerate in the Getz Region of West Antarctica
Glaciers in West Antarctica are moving more quickly from land into the ocean, contributing to rising global sea levels.
Climate Impacts Drive East-West Divide in Forest Seed Production
Younger, smaller trees that comprise much of North America’s eastern forests have increased their seed production under climate change, but older, larger trees that dominate forests in much of the West have been less responsive, a new Duke University-led study finds.
