Vegetation dynamics are affected not only by the concurrent climate but also by memory-induced lagged responses. For example, favourable climate in the past could stimulate vegetation growth to surpass the ecosystem carrying capacity, leaving an ecosystem vulnerable to climate stresses. This phenomenon, known as structural overshoot, could potentially contribute to worldwide drought stress and forest mortality but the magnitude of the impact is poorly known due to the dynamic nature of oversh…

Abstract Abrupt onset and swift intensification characterize flash droughts. Global surface soil moisture ( θ RS ) from NASA’s Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite can facilitate a near‐real‐time assessment of emerging flash droughts at a 36‐km footprint. However, a robust flash drought monitoring using θ RS must account for the (a) short observation record of SMAP, (b) nonlinear geophysical controls over θ RS dynamics, and (c) emergent meteorological drivers of flash droughts. We pr…

Abstract. Despite showing great success of applications in many commercial fields, machine learning and data science models generally show limited success in many scientific fields, including hydrology (Karpatne et al., 2017). The approach is often criticized for its lack of interpretability and physical consistency. This has led to the emergence of new modelling paradigms, such as theory-guided data science (TGDS) and physics-informed machine learning. The motivation behind such approaches i…

Matched topics: water management
The indiscriminate and intensive use of agrochemicals in developing nations to enhance crop productivity has posed an alarming threat to soil quality, fertility, biodiversity, food safety, agricultural sustainability, and groundwater quality, thus critically affecting planetary health and food productivity. Additionally, both abiotic and biotic stresses and developmental disorders, i.e., disease susceptibility, hormonal imbalance, and nutritional deficiency, are the major constraints on crop …

In addition to providing water for nearly 2 billion people, snow drives resource selection by wildlife and influences the behavior and demography of many species. Because snow cover is highly spatially and temporally variable, mapping its extent using currently available satellite data remains a challenge. At present, there are no sensors acquiring daily data of Earth’s entire surface at fine spatial resolutions (< 30 m) in wavelengths required for snow cover retrieval, namely: visible, near-…

Water shortages and poor water quality have become an urgent problem that is constraining the sustainable development of China. Grey water has been found to bring greater stress on the water supply than freshwater consumption, and the grey water footprint (GWF) has received significant attention as a comprehensive indicator to assess wastewater pollution. In this study, we analysed the grey water footprint in the Yangtze River Basin from 2003 to 2017 and established a Logarithmic mean divisia…
Crustal Groundwater Volumes Greater Than Previously Thought

Abstract Global groundwater volumes in the upper 2 km of the Earth’s continental crust—critical for water security—are well estimated. Beyond these depths, a vast body of largely saline and non‐potable groundwater exists down to at least 10 km—a volume that has not yet been quantified reliably at the global scale. Here, we estimate the amount of groundwater present in the upper 10 km of the Earth’s continental crust by examining the distribution of sedimentary and crystalline rocks with depth…
Irrigation management in poplar (Populus spp.) plantations: A review
Authors: Benye Xi, B. Clothier, M. Coleman, J. Duan, Wei Hu, Doudou Li et al.

Abstract Poplar (Populus spp.) is widely planted around the world and has been closely linked to human beings since ancient times due to its multiple beneficial utilizations both for the environment and society. As one of the fastest-growing tree species in temperate zones, the high growth rate of poplar is associated with its high water-demand, which makes it vulnerable to water deficits. To maintain and improve the productivity and quality of poplar plantations, by alleviating the impact of…

Detection and Mapping of Active Landslides before Impoundment in the Baihetan Reservoir Area (China) Based on the Time-Series InSAR Method
Authors: Jiawei Dun, Wenkai Feng, Xiaoyu Yi, Guoqiang Zhang, Mingtang Wu
Journal: Remote Sensing · DOI: 10.3390/rs13163213 · Citations: 70
Matched topics: reservoir
Many potential landslides occured in the Baihetan reservoir area before impoundment. After impoundment, these landslides may still slide, affecting the safe operation of the reservoir area (e.g., causing barrier lakes and floods). Identifying the locations of landslides and their distribution pattern has attracted attention in China and globally. In addition, due to the rolling terrain of the reservoir area, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging will affect the interactive synthetic aperture…
An assessment of methane gas production from natural gas hydrates: Challenges, technology and market outlook
Authors: Rashid Shaibu, Chico Sambo, Boyun Guo, Anireju Dudun
Journal: ADVANCES IN GEO-ENERGY RESEARCH · DOI: 10.46690/ager.2021.03.07 · Citations: 69
Matched topics: reservoir
Natural gas hydrates are enormous energy resources occurring in the permafrost and under deep ocean sediments. However, the commercial or sustained production of this resource with currently available technology remains a technical, environmental, and economic challenge, albeit a few production tests have been conducted to date. One of the major challenges has been sand production due to the unconsolidated nature of hydrate bearing formations. This review presents progress in methane gas prod…
