Compound drought and heatwave (CDHW) events have garnered increased attention due to their significant impacts on agriculture, energy, water resources, and ecosystems. We quantify the projected future shifts in CDHW characteristics (such as frequency, duration, and severity) due to continued anthropogenic warming relative to the baseline recent observed period (1982 to 2019). We combine weekly drought and heatwave information for 26 climate divisions across the globe, employing historical and…

Shale reservoirs are extensively exploited using hydraulic fracturing, which forms multiple cracks that connect with the existing natural fractures to create a continuous path for the gas stored in the kerogen to flow to the production well. Apart from the tedious nature of hydraulic fracturing, the mechanism of the storage and flow of gas is equally complex since multiple phases and scales are involved. An accurate understanding of hydraulic fracturing coupled with a strategy of analyzing th…

Climate change poses an existential threat. Theoretical and empirical research suggest that carbon pricing and green R&D support are the right tools, but their implementation can be improved. Other policies, such as standards, bans, and targeted subsidies, also all have a role to play, but they have often been incoherent, and their implementation is delicate.

Abstract. Photosynthesis plays an important role in carbon, nitrogen, and water cycles. Ecosystem models for photosynthesis are characterized by many parameters that are obtained from limited in situ measurements and applied to the same plant types. Previous site-by-site calibration approaches could not leverage big data and faced issues like overfitting or parameter non-uniqueness. Here we developed an end-to-end programmatically differentiable (meaning gradients of outputs to variables used…

Increasing scarcity of irrigation water is threatening global winter wheat production and food security. As a major world food crop, irrigation has been pivotal in enhancing the sustainable production of wheat. To ensure food and water security, it is vital to better understand wheat irrigation demands during key growth periods to improve water productivity (WP). Here we combined precipitation and crop water requirements to analyze the impacts of crop water deficit (CWDI) on winter wheat grow…
Hydrological Processes, Snow Dynamics, and Remote Sensing
This theme encompasses 10 papers advancing understanding of hydrological processes through field observations, modeling, and remote sensing. Research covers snow distribution and dynamics in cold regions, forest-hydrology interactions, land use change impacts on river systems, rainfall-runoff modeling uncertainty, and satellite-based monitoring of terrestrial water resources.
Risks of synchronized low yields are underestimated in climate and crop model projections

Simultaneous harvest failures across major crop-producing regions are a threat to global food security. Concurrent weather extremes driven by a strongly meandering jet stream could trigger such events, but so far this has not been quantified. Specifically, the ability of state-of-the art crop and climate models to adequately reproduce such high impact events is a crucial component for estimating risks to global food security. Here we find an increased likelihood of concurrent low yields durin…
Assessing current and future soil erosion under changing land use based on InVEST and FLUS models in the Yihe River Basin, North China
Authors: Xinru Qiao, Zijun Li, Jinkuo Lin, Haijun Wang, Shuwei Zheng, Shuyuan Yang

Matched topics: river
The Yihe River Basin is a key area for water conservation and soil erosion control in northern China. The excessive development of land resources is a major factor causing soil erosion and ecological degradation. However, the impacts of land use change on soil erosion in the basin are not yet clearly. Understanding the complex relationship between land use and soil erosion is an important way to promote the development of land resources utilization and ecological construction from cognition t…

Best management practices to reduce soil erosion and change water balance components in watersheds under grain and dairy production
Authors: Thais Palumbo Silva, Danielle de Almeida Bressiani, Éderson Diniz Ebling, José Miguel Reichert

Matched topics: runoff, streamflow, water management
Soil erosion and sedimentation are among the most serious global environmental problems. Soil and water conservation measures have been proven effective ways to reduce soil loss. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of three approaches of soil and water conservation measures (soil management, vegetative measures, and structural practices) on soil erosion and water balance of two paired agricultural watersheds located in Southern Brazil. Streamflow and sediment monitoring was…

Assessing runoff control of low impact development in Hong Kong’s dense community with reliable SWMM setup and calibration.

Matched topics: runoff, water management
Low impact development (LID) is a sustainable practice to managing urban runoff. However, its effectiveness in densely populated areas with intense rainfall, such as Hong Kong, remains unclear due to limited studies with similar climate conditions and urban patterns. The highly mixed land use and complicated drainage network present challenges for preparing a Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). This study proposed a reliable framework for setting up and calibrating SWMM by integrating multip…
Pattern recognition in reciprocal space with a magnon-scattering reservoir
Authors: Lukas Körber, Christopher Heins, Tobias Hula, Joo-Von Kim, Sonia Thlang, Helmut Schultheiß et al.

Matched topics: reservoir
Magnons are elementary excitations in magnetic materials and undergo nonlinear multimode scattering processes at large input powers. In experiments and simulations, we show that the interaction between magnon modes of a confined magnetic vortex can be harnessed for pattern recognition. We study the magnetic response to signals comprising sine wave pulses with frequencies corresponding to radial mode excitations. Three-magnon scattering results in the excitation of different azimuthal modes, w…
Res-CN (Reservoir dataset in China): hydrometeorological time series and landscape attributes across 3254 Chinese reservoirs

Abstract. Dams and reservoirs are human-made infrastructures that have attracted increasing attention because of their societal and environmental significance. Towards better management and conservation of reservoirs, a dataset of reservoir-catchment characteristics is needed, considering that the amount of water and material flowing into and out of reservoirs depends on their locations on the river network and the properties of the upstream catchment. To date, no dataset exists for reservoir…
Changes in land use and management led to a decline in Eastern Europe’s terrestrial carbon sink

Abstract Land-based mitigation is essential in reducing net carbon emissions. Yet, the attribution of carbon fluxes remains highly uncertain, in particular for the forest-rich region of Eastern Europe (incl. Western Russia). Here we integrate various data sources to show that Eastern Europe accounted for an above-ground biomass carbon sink of ~0.41 gigatons of carbon per year over the period 2010–2019, that is 78% of the entire European carbon sink. We find that this carbon sink is declining,…
