River floods frequently occur when tropical cyclones hit land. Nonetheless, systematic, long-term discharge data remain rather scarce in many tropical countries, which prevent proper analysis of peak discharges occurring during floods. The Térraba catchment is the biggest and most dynamic catchment in Costa Rica. In this study, we developed regional flood-frequency analyses combining tree-ring based estimation and measurement of peak discharge at monitoring stations during tropical cyclones t…

Abstract. The mass of the Greenland ice sheet is declining as mass gain from snow accumulation is exceeded by mass loss from surface meltwater runoff, marine-terminating glacier calving and submarine melting, and basal melting. Here we use the input–output (IO) method to estimate mass change from 1840 through next week. Surface mass balance (SMB) gains and losses come from a semi-empirical SMB model from 1840 through 1985 and three regional climate models (RCMs; HIRHAM/HARMONIE, Modèle Atmosp…

Abstract With ongoing climate change, the probability of crossing environmental thresholds promoting abrupt changes in ecosystem structure and functioning is higher than ever. In drylands (areas where it rains <65% of what could be potentially evaporated), recent research has shown how the crossing of three aridity thresholds [at aridity (1‐Aridity Index) values of 0.54, 0.70 and 0.80] leads to abrupt changes on ecosystem structural and functional attributes. Despite the importance of thes…

Authors: Maite Hernando-Arrese, Elisabet Dueholm Rasch
Journal: Energy Research & Social Science · DOI: 10.1016/j.erss.2021.102332 · Citations: 71
Matched topics: hydropower
This article contributes to an emerging body of literature about the micropolitics of the transition to renewable energy by examining how community leaders, in order to protect their territories, contest the energy transition. We present findings from two ethnographic case studies of small hydropower plants (SHPs) in indigenous Mapuche territory. As SHPs up to 20 MW are considered renewable projects by law, Chilean national authorities consider them as a non-invasive eco-friendly solution and…
Distribution, transfer, ecological and human health risks of antibiotics in bay ecosystems
Authors: Dong Liu, Yaoyang Xu, Muhammad Junaid, Yong‐Guan Zhu, Jun Wang

Matched topics: runoff
Antibiotics have been widely detected in bay ecosystems, yet little is known regarding their distribution, composition, sources, ecological and human health risks at the regional scale. We developed a systematic framework to mine data from existing publications and compiled an antibiotic concentration-based dataset containing 439 samples from 30 bays, and compared antibiotics across bays and matrices (water, sediment, and biota). Antibiotic concentrations varied considerably between bays, wit…

Increasing large wildfires over the western United States linked to diminishing sea ice in the Arctic
Authors: Yufei Zou, Philip J. Rasch, Hailong Wang, Zuowei Xie, Rudong Zhang
Journal: Nature Communications · DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-26232-9 · Citations: 63
Matched topics: earth system model
The compound nature of large wildfires in combination with complex physical and biophysical processes affecting variations in hydroclimate and fuel conditions makes it difficult to directly connect wildfire changes over fire-prone regions like the western United States (U.S.) with anthropogenic climate change. Here we show that increasing large wildfires during autumn over the western U.S. are fueled by more fire-favorable weather associated with declines in Arctic sea ice during preceding mo…

Global warming is not often discussed in the context of light availability within the water column. However, the light regimes in the Arctic Ocean are controlled by three factors that are influenced by climate changes which are the sea ice albedo feedback, glacial meltwater runoff and marine primary production. Based on a satellite data series acquired during time period 1997 – 2019, we inspected long-term changes of the three commonly used optical characteristics Chla , a tot (443), and K d …
The Importance of Groundwater in Critical Zone Science
Authors: Kamini Singha, Alexis Navarre‐Sitchler
Journal: Ground Water · DOI: 10.1111/gwat.13143 · Citations: 56
Matched topics: hydrology, streamflow
The critical zone (CZ)-from treetops to groundwater-is an increasingly studied part of the earth system, where scientists study interactions between water, air, rock, soil, and life. Groundwater is both a boundary and an essential store in this integrated system, but is often not well considered in part because of the difficulty in accessing it and its slow movement relative to other parts of the system. Here, we describe some fundamental areas where groundwater hydrology is of fundamental im…
Spatial characteristics and influencing factors of Chinese traditional villages in eight provinces the Yellow River flows through
Authors: Chenge Gao, Ying Wu, Chenlong Bian, Xingxi Gao
Journal: River Research and Applications · DOI: 10.1002/rra.3880 · Citations: 55
Matched topics: river
Abstract Along with global urbanization and the dominant trend toward urban‐based policies, traditional villages are facing imbalanced development and the fate of revitalization or decline. In this study, 1,222 Chinese traditional villages in eight provinces the Yellow River flows through have been selected as the typical physical bearers of Chinese civilization of an investigation into the multi‐scale spatial characteristics, and multiple influencing factors and mechanisms for regional patte…
