Abstract The relationships between cities and underlying groundwater are reviewed, with the aim to highlight the importance of urban groundwater resources in terms of city resilience value. Examples of more than 70 cities worldwide are cited along with details of their groundwater-related issues, specific experiences, and settings. The groundwater-related issues are summarized, and a first groundwater-city classification is proposed in order to facilitate a more effective city-to-city compari…

Matched topics: runoff, land surface model

Since 2011, the Chinese government has been implementing a series of comprehensive rock desertification control projects. Concurrently, the relevant ecosystem service functions have been changing. However, few studies have quantitatively evaluated the variation of each ecosystem service function and its driving factors; moreover, the trade-off and synergistic relationships must be further explored. Therefore, the present study used a Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model to stimulate th…

Abstract Forest fires destroy these areas and have devastating and harmful socio-economic and environmental effects. One of the methods of preventing and managing the hazards created in the field of forest fires is to determine the range of fire risk. The purpose of this study is to determine the high-risk areas of fire in the forests of Golestan province using remote sensing data and field information. For this purpose, the data of MODIS satellite during the years 2005 to 2020 for the middle…


High‐Resolution Soil Moisture Data Reveal Complex Multi‐Scale Spatial Variability Across the United States

Authors: Noemi Vergopolan, Justin Sheffield, Nathaniel W. Chaney, Ming Pan, Hylke E. Beck, Craig R. Ferguson et al.

Journal: Geophysical Research Letters · DOI: 10.1029/2022gl098586 · Citations: 56

Matched topics: hydrology, earth system model

Abstract Soil moisture (SM) spatiotemporal variability critically influences water resources, agriculture, and climate. However, besides site‐specific studies, little is known about how SM varies locally (1–100‐m scale). Consequently, quantifying the SM variability and its impact on the Earth system remains a long‐standing challenge in hydrology. We reveal the striking variability of local‐scale SM across the United States using SMAP‐HydroBlocks — a novel satellite‐based surface SM data set a…
