Compare and contrast: Not just trees: Most of the carbon sequestered on land is stored in soil and water, study finds
Phys.org The lack of data on carbon accumulation in soils, bodies of water and wetlands has led current dynamic global vegetation models to greatly overestimate the role of forests in […]
Compare and contrast: River water temperatures swing from hot to cold: National study uncovers fluctuations across the US
Phys.org Scientists have unveiled rapid fluctuations in river water temperature across the United States (US) with rivers controlled by dams showing more frequent and volatile thermal changes. Their research was […]

Compare and contrast: Pacific island water security requires new approach
EurekAlert! Hydrology experts at Flinders University are calling for urgent investigations into the operation of bore-fields that access fresh groundwater on Pacific islands, including Kiribati, where rising sea levels are […]
Compare and contrast: Ditches and canals are a big, yet overlooked, source of greenhouse gas emissions – new study
The Conversation – United Kingdom Researchers have previously calculated that ditches emit up to 3% of the total global methane emissions from human activities. In our new study, we find […]
Compare and contrast: How climate change affects rain and floods
Science Daily Climate change may lead to more precipitation and more intense floods. A new study shows that to understand the details of this relationship, it is important to distinguish […]
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 […]
