Buoyancy Feedbacks on Wave‐Induced Melting of Icebergs
Abstract Icebergs play an important role in the climate system through their temporally and spatially distributed injection of freshwater into the ocean. Waterline melting from surface wave action accounts for a substantial amount of iceberg mass loss and drives iceberg fragmentation, yet it is poorly constrained and lacks physics‐based model ...

Abstract While aspects such as the temperature and composition of the Martian atmosphere are relatively well known thanks to observations from numerous space missions, Martian atmospheric dynamics remain poorly constrained due to the scarcity of direct wind measurements. The use of microwave limb sounders to retrieve winds has been proposed in the past,

Field Observations of Decreasing Rock Fracturing Rates Over Geologic Time
Abstract Rock fracturing regulates the topography, carbon cycle, geologic hazards, and infrastructure degradation of the Earth. Yet, there remains a paucity of constraints on long‐term fracturing behavior. Here we use field measurements of 2221 clasts across a range of environments and rock types to show that the number and total length of fractures in

Abstract Most of Earth's present‐day terrestrial surface is covered by regolith—the layers of soil, saprolite, and weathered bedrock that together comprise the critical zone. Recent research has focused on understanding fluxes of minerals, water, and energy through the critical zone under steady state assumptions.

Abstract Modification of river corridors, particularly deforestation and the removal of large wood, has greatly altered the abundance and influence of large wood in most rivers in the temperate latitudes. The conceptual framework of large wood process domains can assist in both directing research and facilitating large wood‐related management and ...

Identifying Physical Drivers of Arctic Sea Ice Growth and Their Changing Roles in a Warming Climate
Arctic sea ice extent grows from its September minimum through winter, influenced mainly by September sea ice conditions and atmospheric circulation during the ice‐growing season. However, the changing role of the two drivers in a warming climate remains
