New study tracks where rain comes from using 45 years of isotope data
Scientists have long used isotopes in water molecules to study where atmospheric moisture comes ...
A key question in any discussion about climate is "How much rain fell?" But perhaps there is an even more important one. Like any household budget, the global water economy is based on "income," that ...
Scientists have developed a powerful new way to trace the journey of water across the planet by reading tiny atomic clues hidden inside it. Slightly heavier versions of hydrogen and oxygen, called ...
Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, and sometimes these atoms are slightly heavier than usual. These heavier forms are called isotopes. As water evaporates or moves through the atmosphere, the ...
Massive sewage spill dumps hundreds of millions of gallons into Potomac River near D.C. Trump calls in FEMA while local ...
With breakthrough new technology that measures water isotopes on the move, Michigan Tech research scientist Ben Kopec and his team are driving, boating and snowmobiling around the Keweenaw to help ...
In among all that life, the swamplands can cut a striking image. Lake Mai Ndombe, and its neighbor Lake Tumba, are both what’s known as “blackwater” lakes – the water, darkened by millennia of dead ...
Extreme and more frequent flooding and related calamities (e.g. landslides and mudslides) are some of the most dire immediate ...
Scientists have found that ancient Martian lakes could have survived for decades despite freezing air temperatures. Using a newly adapted climate model, researchers showed that thin, seasonal ice ...
NASA is advancing lunar base and nuclear power deployment plans under new legislation, targeting a fission reactor demo on the Moon by 2030.
When compressed, the alloy heats up as its internal structure shifts. A circulating liquid absorbs that heat and carries it away to the surroundings. When the pressure is released, the alloy structure ...
The natural El Nino cycle, which warps weather worldwide, is both adding to and shaped by a warming world, meteorologists ...
