In-situ loading experiments in the Venice Lagoon, Italy reveal that potential autocompaction of coastal marshes is strongly influenced by soil characteristics and heterogeneity.
High eruption plumes during submarine eruptions are promoted by seawater vaporisation and decoupled from erupted mass, according to combination of satellite remote sensing observations and plume modelling.
Increasing annual maximum flood extent over the past 30 years is best explained when the coincident increase in urban areas within floodplains is considered not just changes in hydroclimate, according to a worldwide analysis of major river basins.
Countries with more different extreme weather stress and synchronous yield tend to be trade partners, indicating a vulnerability in global food security, according to a statistical and machine learning analysis of international wheat trade networks.
The suturing of the southern Altaids and final closure of the Paleo Asian Ocean within Pangea occurred during the early Triassic, according to geochemical and detrital zircon provenance analyses of sandstones in the Muzitekexie fore-arc accretionary basin
Earthquakes on thrust faults display a higher double couple component relative to those on strike-slip and normal faults which may be a result of more mature fault zone structure, according to a statistical analysis of global earthquake moment tensors
Precipitation decline in northern China since the mid-Holocene was probably driven by suppression of convective precipitation due to vegetation changes rather than by weakening of the East Asian summer monsoon, according to transient numerical experiments.
Large explosive eruptions of basaltic magma are promoted by low pre-eruptive temperatures in crystallising shallow magma reservoirs, according to an integrated petrological, geochemical and numerical modelling study.
Global mean sea level curves based on oxygen isotope data underestimate interstadial sea level by as much as 20 m, according to coral reef terrace analysis and a reassessment of the regional deformation pattern at the Huon peninsula, Papua New Guinea
Heterotrophic soil respiration and subsidence are enhanced by water table decline, with a meta-analysis estimating that soil respiration in drained peatlands across the globe release 645 Mt carbon per year.
Substantial volume and compositional changes in gas emissions from fumaroles on Vulcano island in late 2021 may reflect the degassing of fresh mafic magma, according to in situ and remote sensing measurements of gas emissions coupled with numerical modelling
In hydrothermal sediments of Guaymas Basin, hopane and sterane biomarkers undergoing thermal and biological degradation are carried to surficial sediments by hydrothermal fluids, according to geochemical and chromatographic analyses of sediment cores.
Stratification strength and internal tide generation and propagation are projected to increase in the Andaman Sea and Bay of Bengal regions of the Indian Ocean under future warming scenarios, according to global climate model simulations.
Nucleation of plagioclase in a thin residual compositional boundary layer could explain the formation of non-cotectic foliated rocks in layered igneous intrusions, according to geochemical analyses of magnetite cumulates from the Bushveld Complex, South Africa
Induced seismic hazards through the injection cycle can be inferred from changes in the relative size distribution of earthquakes, according to a hydromechanical-stochastic model with high-resolution observations of an enhanced geothermal system in Basel.
Large amounts of water vapour released to the stratosphere during the 2022 Hunga-Tonga hydromagmatic volcanic eruption led to decreased sulfur dioxide aerosol lifetime, increased sulfate particle size and a doubling of stratospheric aerosol optical depth, according to numerical simulations.
Climate change, rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and land use change have driven a 33% increase in carbon loss from soils and vegetation to European rivers between 1901 and 2014, according to model simulations linking the terrestrial carbon cycle with river transport.
Functional variations in tropical forests can be determined from remotely sensed forest trait and structural attributes at spatial resolutions relevant to satellite-based observations, according to a coarse resolution analysis of airborne remotely sensed data in Malaysian Borneo.
Though variations exist between countries, a positive framing, a global scale and a current timeframe coupled with a focus on health or the environment elicit greater public support for climate policies, according to results of a multi-country conjoint experiment.
Small-scale fishers exhibit more active adaptive and transformative responses in areas with higher exposure levels to climate change hazards, according to a global systematic review approach of social-ecological systems.
