A perspective in Annals of Forest Science argues that strategically designed common garden networks, including suboptimal sites, are essential for revealing the adaptive capacity of forest trees under climate change. The authors emphasize that such networks are essential for revealing…
Around 20,000 years ago, the once-vast Laurentide Ice Sheet sprawled from the Arctic Circle as far south as Illinois and was up to two miles thick in parts. All that remains of it now is the Delaware-sized Barnes Ice Cap on…
A synthesis of 429 Chinese lakes finds that eutrophication coincides with accumulated dissolved organic matter while warmer, wetter climates are associated with lower concentrations. Subject of Research: Large-scale drivers of dissolved organic matter composition in lakes across China's climate and nutrient…
(CNN) — A shrinking ice cap in Arctic Canada tells a striking story of how humans may have halted the planet’s next ice age by burning fossil fuels, according to new research. Around 20,000 years ago, the once vast Laurentide Ice Sheet…
The genome of a glass sponge species suggests that silica skeletons evolved independently in several groups of sponges. Researchers led by geobiologist Professor Gert Wörheide have decoded the genome of Aphrocallistes vastus, a reef-building glass sponge found off the coast…
A new Perspective argues that coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical-biological processes in fractured geological media will decide whether geothermal energy, carbon storage, hydrogen storage, nuclear waste disposal and critical mineral extraction can be scaled safely. Subject of Research: Coupled THMCB processes in fractured…
A new perspective paper proposes a framework for actively steering and limiting thermally induced cracks in rocks, supported by analytical models and conceptual numerical simulations. Subject of Research: A conceptual framework for the active regulation and control of thermal cracking…
The Fifth International Polar Year, which is planned for 2032-2033, seeks to build on this tradition. In many ways, the Fifth IPY has already started. The main organizers are It has been announced that Norway will host the International Coordination Office…
Biogeochemistry is the study of how chemical elements flow through living systems and their physical environments. It investigates the factors that influence cycles of key elements such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous. In the surface Atlantic Ocean, microbial lipid stoichiometry…
A new review traces nearly a century of rock mechanics research and argues that modern geoenergy and geological storage systems require predictive, system-level frameworks rather than descriptive interpretation. From Quarry Cracks to Deep Geoenergy: A Century of Rock Mechanics Revisited…
