. Our findings confirm that renewable (solar photovoltaic and wind) electrolytic hydrogen production generates at least 50-90% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than fossil-fuel-based counterparts without carbon capture and storage. However, electrolytic hydrogen production could still result in considerable environmental burdens, which requires reassessing the concept of green hydrogen. Our global analysis highlights a few salient points: (i) a mismatch between economical hydrogen production an…

Arctic sea ice mediates atmosphere-ocean momentum transfer, which drives upper ocean circulation. How Arctic Ocean surface stress and velocity respond to sea ice decline and changing winds under global warming is unclear. Here we show that state-of-the-art climate models consistently predict an increase in future (2015-2100) ocean surface stress in response to increased surface wind speed, declining sea ice area, and a weaker ice pack. While wind speeds increase most during fall (+2.2% per de…

Authors: Vashan Wright, Matthias Morzfeld, Michael Manga
Journal: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences · DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2409983121 · Citations: 42
Matched topics: land surface model, surface water
Large volumes of liquid water transiently existed on the surface of Mars more than 3 billion years ago. Much of this water is hypothesized to have been sequestered in the subsurface or lost to space. We use rock physics models and Bayesian inversion to identify combinations of lithology, liquid water saturation, porosity, and pore shape consistent with the constrained mid-crust (∼11.5 to 20 km depths) seismic velocities and gravity near the InSight lander. A mid-crust composed of fractured ig…

Matched topics: hydrology, river, runoff, streamflow, water management, hydropower
Abstract. The Alps are a key water resource for central Europe, providing water for drinking, agriculture, and hydropower production. Thus, understanding runoff generation processes of Alpine streams is important for sustainable water management. It is currently unclear how much streamflow is derived from old water stored in the subsurface and how much stems from more recent precipitation that reaches the stream via near-surface quick flow processes. It is also unclear how this partitioning v…

Storm events can mobilize nitrogen species from landscapes into streams, exacerbating eutrophication and threatening aquatic ecosystems as well as human health. However, the transport pathways and storm responses of different nitrogen forms remain elusive. We used high-frequency chemical and isotopic sampling to partition sources of stormwater runoff and determine transport pathways of multiple nitrogen forms in an agricultural catchment. Bayesian mixing modeling reveals shallow subsurface wa…
Mismanaged plastic waste as a predictor for river plastic pollution
Authors: Rose Boahemaa Pinto, Tim van Emmerik, Kwame Duah, Martine van der Ploeg, R. Uijlenhoet
Journal: The Science of The Total Environment · DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.175463 · Citations: 19
Matched topics: hydrology, river, streamflow
Hydrometeorological processes are often assumed to be key drivers of plastic transport. However, the predominant focus on these factors overlooks the impact of anthropogenic factors, such as mismanaged plastic waste (MPW) on plastic transport variability. Here, we investigate the roles of both anthropogenic and hydrometeorological factors on plastic pollution in the Odaw catchment, Ghana. Data on macroplastic transport and density were collected at ten locations between December 2021 and Dece…

Authors: Alexander Y. Sun, Himanshu Save, Ashraf Rateb, Peishi Jiang, Bridget R. Scanlon
Journal: Geophysical Research Letters · DOI: 10.1029/2023gl108126 · Citations: 9
Matched topics: hydrology, runoff, streamflow, flood, surface water
Abstract Regional floods result from various flood generation mechanisms. Traditional analyses mainly link flooding to extreme rainfall, with limited input from soil moisture. Total water storage (TWS) is a holistic measure of basin wetness, including additional storage components from surface water, snow, and groundwater. Utilizing a new 5‐day Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment and its Follow On (GRACE(‐FO)) data set, we investigated the linkage between short‐term TWS anomaly (TWSA) and…
Recent Upper Colorado River Streamflow Declines Driven by Loss of Spring Precipitation
Authors: Daniel Hogan, Jessica D. Lundquist
Journal: Geophysical Research Letters · DOI: 10.1029/2024gl109826 · Citations: 18
Matched topics: hydrology, river, streamflow
Abstract Colorado River streamflow has decreased 19% since 2000. Spring (March‐April‐May) weather strongly influences Upper Colorado River streamflow because it controls not only water input but also when snow melts and how much energy is available for evaporation when soils are wettest. Since 2000, spring precipitation decreased by 14% on average across 26 unregulated headwater basins, but this decrease did not fully account for the reduced streamflow. In drier springs, increases in energy f…
