Compare and contrast: What is climate whiplash? New report reveals dangers of flooding and drought in European cities
EuroNews Green Researchers have found that 90 per cent of all climate disasters are driven by too much or too little water. A new report has revealed how the 100 […]
Compare and contrast: Study shows rain-soaking atmospheric rivers are getting bigger, wetter and more frequent
The Associated Press Scientists have long predicted that as climate change from the burning of coal, oil and gas makes the air warmer, it holds more moisture, which means bigger, […]
Compare and contrast: Measurements collected with underwater gliders help researchers understand deep water circulation in Gulf of Mexico
Phys.org Scientists are still trying to understand the exact dynamics and circulation pathways that determine how dense, cold water from deep in the Gulf of Mexico gets circulated within the […]
Compare and contrast: Amazon tree loss may worsen both floods and droughts: study
Phys.org Deforestation in the Amazon causes more rain in the wet season and less rain in the dry season, according to new research published Wednesday underscoring the rainforest’s “pivotal” role […]
Compare and contrast: First-of-its-kind AI tool can predict water quality across the US
Phys.org New research published today by Vermont scientists shows how an already-existing computer system the federal government’s National Water Model can be modified, with AI and real-time data from sensors, […]
Compare and contrast: Extreme drought-heatwave events threaten the biodiversity and stability of aquatic plankton communities in the Yangtze River ecosystems
Nature Rivers are crucial to biogeochemical cycles, connecting terrestrial, oceanic, and atmospheric systems. However, their ecosystems are increasingly threatened by extreme weather events. Here we used the environmental DNA approach […]
Compare and contrast: Critical snowfall-to-precipitation ratios identified in high mountain Asia amid global warming
Phys.org A recent study, published in npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, has identified critical thresholds of snowfall-to-precipitation (S/P) ratios sensitive to global warming, as well as their projected future trajectories […]
Compare and contrast: Making clean water more accessible: New membrane filter enhances desalination speed and cost-effectiveness
Phys.org When you drink a nice refreshing glass of water, do you ever think, “Gee, I’m glad that polymeric desalination membrane did its job!” Probably not, but maybe you should. […]
Compare and contrast: Tree ring records reveal climate-driven drought shifts across Europe and Asia
Phys.org Determining the degree to which shifting drought conditions around the world are attributable to natural hydroclimatic variability and how much they are caused by climate change is a complicated […]
Compare and contrast: A new theory explains how water first arrived on Earth
The Conversation – Africa When Earth first formed, it was too hot to retain ice. This means all the water on our planet must have originated from extraterrestrial sources. Studies […]
