Northern Eurasia Future Initiative (NEFI): facing the challenges and pathways of global change in the twenty-first century [PDF]
During the past several decades, the Earth system has changed significantly, especially across Northern Eurasia. Changes in the socio-economic conditions of the larger countries in the region have also resulted in a variety of regional environmental ...

Abstract The particulate organic carbon (POC) flux from the euphotic zone to the deep ocean is central to the biological carbon pump. It is typically evaluated using “export efficiency” and “transfer efficiency,” which reflect POC formation and sinking and carbon sequestration efficiency in the ocean's interior, respectively.

Ice Model Calibration Using Semi-continuous Spatial Data [PDF]
Rapid changes in Earth's cryosphere caused by human activity can lead to significant environmental impacts. Computer models provide a useful tool for understanding the behavior and projecting the future of Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets. However, these models are typically subject to large parametric uncertainties due to poorly constrained model input

Abstract Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in coastal waters is integral to biogeochemical cycling, but global and regional drivers of DOC are still uncertain. In this study we explored spatial and temporal differences in DOC concentrations and stocks across the global coastal ocean, and how these relate to temperature and salinity.

Abstract Opposite‐direction oceanic wave interactions at the ocean surface generate microseisms between 0.1 and ∼ ${\sim} $0.5 Hz, known as secondary microseisms (SM). SM recordings aid in imaging Earth's crust, but they also impede monitoring seismic signals due to tectonic activities.

Glacier data assimilation on an Arctic glacier: Learning from large ensemble twin experiments [PDF]
Glacier modeling is crucial for quantifying the evolution of cryospheric processes. At the same time, uncertainties hamper process understanding and predictive accuracy. Here, we suggest improving glacier mass balance simulations for the Kongsvegen glacier in Svalbard through the application of Bayesian data assimilation techniques in a set of large ...

Quantitative implications of the secondary role of carbon dioxide climate forcing in the past glacial-interglacial cycles for the likely future climatic impacts of anthropogenic greenhouse-gas forcings [PDF]
A review of the recent refereed literature fails to confirm quantitatively that carbon dioxide (CO2) radiative forcing was the prime mover in the changes in temperature, ice-sheet volume, and related climatic variables in the glacial and interglacial periods of the past 650,000 years, even under the "fast response" framework where the convenient if ...

Abstract Dams heavily regulate the natural hydrological regimes, impacting on riverine ecosystem and local communities. Yet, the impacts of dams on flow and sediment alterations in the alpine basins, such as the Yarlung Tsangpo River with its immense hydropower potential, remain largely understudied due to limited fine‐scale hydrological records. Here,
