Future warming shifts precipitation from snow to rain across the Saskatchewan River Basin, reducing snow water equivalent and advancing snowmelt timing. Differences among precipitation phase‐partitioning methods propagate from snowpack accumulation to runoff magnitude and timing, producing earlier spring flows and higher peak discharge.

A multicomponent coupled model of glacier hydrology
Multiple lines of evidence suggest a causal link between subglacial hydrology and phenomena such as fast-flowing ice. This evidence includes a measured correlation between water under alpine glaciers and their motion, the presence of saturated sediment ...

Abstract Numerous abandoned wells in the North Sea may provide gas, particularly methane (CH4), migration pathways by penetrating shallow, biogenic gas accumulations. However, related sampling campaigns have been largely contradictory and lack a substantial database. Research cruise MSM98 targeted the abandoned wells B18‐1, DOK 1‐X, B11‐2, THOR and D‐1

Iowa Population Exposures to Metals and Metalloids in Well Water
ABSTRACT Previous Iowa studies suggest low levels and chronic arsenic exposures are associated with prostate cancer. The rural Iowa population heavily relies on private wells for drinking water resources and thus is vulnerable to contaminants such as heavy metals found in well water.

Uncertainties exist in the biosphere–climate feedbacks in the Arctic. Remote and ground measurements play complementary roles in detecting possible changes. A critical next step is identification of key drivers of the global changes for future projections. ABSTRACT Positive biosphere–climate feedbacks are likely to amplify the Arctic warming, yet major

Reversal of the ITCZ Shift During the Satellite Era
Abstract A southward shift of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) during the latter half of the 20th century has been primarily attributed to interhemispheric differences in anthropogenic aerosol forcing. However, in recent decades anthropogenic aerosol emissions have declined, particularly over Northern Hemisphere (NH).

Abstract Mixed‐phase clouds can be found at temperatures between 0 and −38° ${}^{\circ}$C and consist of supercooled cloud droplets and ice crystals. The phase of mixed‐phase clouds is crucial for the radiation budget, which determines the atmosphere's energy balance.

Changing Flood‐Generating Mechanisms Impact Flood Characteristics in Snow‐Dominated Catchments
Abstract Global warming is shifting the characteristics of snowmelt floods, while simultaneously altering flood‐generating mechanisms in cold regions. Here, we disentangle the contributions of inter‐type mechanism transitions from intra‐type characteristic shifts to overall changes in flood behavior across Northern Hemisphere snow‐dominated catchments.

Glacio-limnological interactions at lake-calving glaciers
Iceberg calving is an efficient ablation process which introduces mechanical instability to glacier systems and can cause non-linear climatic response.

Abstract We present the first in situ observations of the full turbulence tensor of free convection under lake ice, obtained using an original method based on a set of two synchronized acoustic Doppler profilers to measure all six turbulent stress components.
