Abstract Peat decomposition is progressing in Southeast Asia due to lowered groundwater levels (GWL) caused by drainage. Additionally, droughts during El Niño events significantly lower the GWL, the main environmental factor that controls greenhouse gas (GHG; carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane) emissions in peatlands.

IC 4200: a gas-rich early-type galaxy formed via a major merger
We present the result of radio and optical observations of the S0 galaxy IC 4200. We find that the galaxy hosts 8.5 billion solar masses of HI rotating on a ~90 deg warped disk extended out to 60 kpc from the centre of the galaxy.

Abstract Stable auroral red (SAR) arcs are luminous subauroral emissions produced by the collisional excitation of oxygen atoms during geomagnetically active times. While traditionally attributed to inner magnetospheric electron heating, recent observations and simulations challenge the exclusivity of this mechanism.

Abstract The challenge of distinguishing convective anvil cirrus from in situ cirrus has long limited the quantification of their distinct roles in regulating upper‐tropospheric moisture and modulating Earth's energy budget. In this study, we address this ambiguity by introducing a physically constrained classification framework that applies advanced ...

Polar Motion Dynamics on Slow‐Rotating Venus: Signatures of Mantle Flow
Abstract With its 1 day lasting 243 days on Earth, Venus is the slowest‐spinning planet in the Solar System and its rotational bulge is anomalously small. A rotational bulge stabilizes the orientation of planets. Having only a tiny stabilizer, the rotational pole of Venus has been expected to separate from the figure pole in response to mantle flow ...

Rethinking “Prebiotic Chemistry”
Abstract In origins‐of‐life research, the term “prebiotic chemistry” is commonly used to describe processes thought to be related to or required for the emergence of life. However, it suffers from several potential drawbacks that have caused the present group of authors to rethink their usage of the term.

Clustering with phylogenetic tools in astrophysics
Phylogenetic approaches are finding more and more applications outside the field of biology. Astrophysics is no exception since an overwhelming amount of multivariate data has appeared in the last twenty years or so. In particular, the diversification of

The Power of a Name: Toward a Unified Approach to Naming Space Weather Events
Abstract Our increasing reliance on technology vulnerable to space weather effects underscores the urgent need for effective public communication about these phenomena. While scientific research thrives on precise technical language, broader public engagement necessitates a more accessible and memorable approach.

The Roads Traveled to Reach a Greenhouse Gas Flux Network
Abstract Flux measurements of greenhouse gases provide information on the metabolic activity of ecosystems. And they are useful for parameterizing and validating remote sensing and biogeochemical models that are used to assess water and carbon fluxes across space and time.
