Abstract. Empirical evidence demonstrates that lakes and reservoirs are warming across the globe. Consequently, there is an increased need to project future changes in lake thermal structure and resulting changes in lake biogeochemistry in order to plan for the likely impacts. Previous studies of the impacts of climate change on lakes have often relied on a single model forced with limited scenario-driven projections of future climate for a relatively small number of lakes. As a result, our u…

Fire regimes are changing across the globe in response to complex interactions between climate, fuel, and fire across space and time. Despite these complex interactions, research into predicting fire regime change is often unidimensional, typically focusing on direct relationships between fire activity and climate, increasing the chances of erroneous fire predictions that have ignored feedbacks with, for example, fuel loads and availability. Here, we quantify the direct and indirect role of c…

Understanding the scale effects of ecosystem service (ES) supply–demand balances and drivers is critical to hierarchical ecosystem management. However, it remains unclear how the relationships of ES supply–demand and driving factors change with the scale. In this study, we first quantified food production (FP), water yield (WY), soil conservation (SC), carbon storage (CS), and habitat quality (HQ) at pixel and county scales in 2000 and 2020 in Zhejiang Province. Then, we analyzed the ES suppl…


Coupled high and low-frequency ultrasound remediation of PFAS-contaminated soils

Matched topics: surface water

Solids such as soils and sediments contaminated with per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) from exposure to impacted media, e.g., landfill leachate or biosolids, direct contaminated discharge, and contaminant transport from atmospheric deposition, have caused significant environmental pollution. Such solids can act as secondary sources of PFAS for groundwater and surface water contamination. There are currently no proven technologies that can degrade PFAS in soil and sediments in a…

From Soils to Streams: Connecting Terrestrial Carbon Transformation, Chemical Weathering, and Solute Export Across Hydrological Regimes

Authors: Hang Wen, Pamela Sullivan, Sharon Billings, Hoori Ajami, Alejandro Cueva, Alejandro N. Flores et al.

Journal: Water Resources Research · DOI: 10.1029/2022wr032314 · Citations: 60

Matched topics: hydrologic model

Abstract Soil biota generates carbon that exports vertically to the atmosphere (CO 2 ) and transports laterally to streams and rivers (dissolved organic and inorganic carbon, DOC and DIC). These processes, together with chemical weathering, vary with flow paths across hydrological regimes; yet an integrated understanding of these interactive processes is still lacking. Here we ask: How and to what extent do subsurface carbon transformation, chemical weathering, and solute export differ across…

Dynamic surface water maps of Canada from 1984 to 2019 Landsat satellite imagery

Authors: Ian Olthof, Thomas Rainville

Journal: Remote Sensing of Environment · DOI: 10.1016/j.rse.2022.113121 · Citations: 54

Matched topics: surface water

Knowledge of the location of surface water in time and space is critical to inform policy on the environment, wildlife, and human welfare. Dynamic surface water maps have been created at continental to global scales from medium and coarse resolution satellite image archives, most notably by Pekel et al. (2016), who mapped global water dynamics from 1984 to 2015 Landsat data. Their occurrence layer, depicting the percentage of time that water was observed in each 30 m resolution cell, has been…


Satellite observed recent rising water levels of global lakes and reservoirs

Authors: Nan Xu, Yue Ma, Zhongwang Wei, Conghong Huang, Guoyuan Li, Huiying Zheng et al.

Journal: Environmental Research Letters · DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/ac78f8 · Citations: 51

Matched topics: reservoir, water management

Abstract Monitoring global lake/reservoir water level changes is needed to understand the global water cycle and investigate its potential drivers. The existing global water level products only cover lakes/reservoirs with large sizes (>100 km 2 ). Here, Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) and ICESat-2 altimetry data with small footprints are employed to examine global water level changes for 22 008 lakes/reservoirs greater than 1 km 2 . We report that 77.56% of them exhibited…


Physical habitat in conterminous US streams and rivers, Part 1: Geoclimatic controls and anthropogenic alteration
