Increasing fertilization has pushed the nitrogen cycle beyond planetary boundaries, yet its fate remains uncertain owing to long-standing neglect of landscape water velocities in nitrogen models. Leve...

Even though annual precipitation is rising nationally, the landscape is drying out more rapidly. That’s changing the water cycle.

Concentration of precipitation in large events decreases land water availability, and this effect will further increase with a future warming climate.

Early in the morning of 10 August 2025, a >64 × 106 m3 landslide struck Tracy Arm fjord in Alaska. The landslide was preconditioned by glacial retreat caused by climate change. The resulting 481 m run...

Damage to underground infrastructure from groundwater responses to sea level rise can and should be economically quantified Loss functions and life cycle costing are two ways of quantifying econo...

Changes in the partitioning of precipitation into quick flow and baseflow were amplified by a 2016 climate shift. Quick flow responds rapidly following the onset of precipitation, particularly where ...

Nature Cities - Groundwater-associated hazards in coastal cities can be as acute as surface flood hazards, but are often overlooked, more persistent and harder to identify. Here we discuss how...

Cost-cutting move is expected to cause resignations and turmoil

Temperatures are being shattered by large margins over a vast area beyond California. “It’s uncharted territory,” said Baker Perry, Nevada’s state climatologist.

Satellite-based measurements of groundwater flow-through kettle lakes efficiently track dynamic groundwater storage at local to regional scales (modified from USGS Scientific Investigations Report 20...

A University of Aberdeen hydrologist has been named the recipient of a prestigious international award, recognising a lifetime of outstanding contributions to his field by the world's leading learned ...

One of the biggest obstacles on the road to a low-carbon energy future is caused by the rare-earth element lithium, a critical component for the batteries that can store the abundant and sustainable energy from renewable sources.
