A comprehensive review of salt deposition in sedimentary environments worldwide Salt is formed when water rich in evaporite minerals accumulates on the Earth’s surface and then evaporates. Over time, pressure and tectonics change the structure and shape of salt layers....
A comprehensive review of giant salt basins, salt tectonic events, and their global implications Salt is formed when water rich in evaporite minerals accumulates on the Earth’s surface and then evaporates. Over time, pressure and tectonics change the structure and shape...
A synthesis of current knowledge on global extensional tectonics The extension of Earth’s lithosphere occurs at divergent plate boundaries as well as in plate interiors. The geological, geochemical, and sedimentary processes of extension offer insights into topics...
Studying atmospheric particles from a microscopic perspective Most of what is visible in the atmosphere—such as pollution, dust, haze, fog, and clouds—is due to micrometer- and nanometer-sized aerosol particles. It is important to understand the source, characteristics,...
Improving weather and climate prediction with better representation of fast processes in atmospheric models Many atmospheric processes that influence Earth’s weather and climate occur at spatiotemporal scales that are too small to be resolved in large scale models. They...
Exploring how clouds influence radiation, circulation, and precipitation Clouds are an influential and complex element of Earth's climate system. They evolve rapidly in time and exist over small spatial scales, but also affect global radiative balance and large-scale...
Presents cutting-edge studies of helicities from different research fields Helicities play essential roles in numerous geophysical, astrophysical, and magnetohydrodynamic phenomena, thus are studied from various disciplinary viewpoints. Helicities in Geophysics,...
Noisy Oceans Measuring devices such as ocean bottom seismometers and hydrophones designed to detect earthquakes pick up many other signals. These were previously ignored as background noise from unknown sources, but advanced technology now allows insights into the noise...
A transdisciplinary approach to investigating relationships between biomass burning and human health outcomes Where and when wildfires occur, what pollutants they emit, how the chemistry of smoke changes in the atmosphere, and what impact this air pollution has on human...
New insights into interactions between the core and mantle. The Earth’s deep interior is difficult to study directly but recent technological advances have enabled new observations, experiments, analysis, and simulations to better understand deep Earth processes....
A synthesis of current knowledge on collisional and convergent plate boundaries worldwide Major mountain belts on Earth, such as the Alps, Himalayas, and Appalachians, have been built by compressional tectonic processes during continent-continent and arc-continent...
Documents the declining quality and quantity of springs around the world and efforts to preserve, protect, and restore them. Anthropogenic causes, including climate change, have been degrading springs around the world. Changes in spring water quality and flow impact...
Applying Earth science knowledge to sustainable development, disaster risk reduction, and climate action Data and insights from Earth observations are critical for assessing the health of our planet, monitoring change, and addressing societal challenges from the local...
Using isotopes as a tool for understanding Earth processes From establishing the absolute age of the Earth to providing a stronger understanding of the nexus between geology and life, the careful measurement and quantitative interpretation of minor variations in the...
Applications of remote sensing technology for monitoring and predicting water-related hazards Water-related hazards such as floods and droughts have serious impacts on society. Their incidence has increased in recent decades, a trend set to continue with ongoing climate...
Methods and techniques for monitoring subsurface carbon dioxide storage Storing carbon dioxide in underground geological formations is emerging as a promising technology to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere. A range of geophysical techniques can be...
New scientific discoveries in the Congo Basin as a result of international collaborations The Congo is the world's second largest river basin and home to 120 million people. Understanding the cycling of water, sediments, and nutrients is important as the region faces...
A technique for visualizing Earth's subsurface at high resolution Hidden out of sight in Earth’s subsurface are a range of geophysical structures, processes, and material movements. Muography is a passive and non-destructive remote sensing technique that visualizes the...
A comprehensive handbook on state-of-the-art DAS technology and applications Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is a technology that records sound and vibration signals along a fiber optic cable. Its advantages of high resolution, continuous, and real-time measurements...
Explores the many facets of redox exchanges that drive magma's behavior and evolution, from the origin of the Earth until today The redox state is one of the master variables behind the Earth's forming processes, which at depth concern magma as the major transport...
