Abstract The Island Mass Effect (IME) in tropical regions remains understudied, despite its potential to fertilize oligotrophic oceanic gyres and impact on higher trophic levels. Guadeloupe provides an ideal case study of IME due to its diverse nutrient sources, dual exposure to the Caribbean Sea on the western coast and Atlantic Ocean on the eastern ...

O Levee, Where Art Thou? Measuring the Abundance of Natural River Levees Across the Contiguous USA
Abstract Most—if not all—alluvial rivers experience overbank floods. On some rivers, these floods form natural levees, whereas on others they do not. Existing theories for how levees form on riverbanks rely on the physics of sediment transport across the channel margin, but applying them to real rivers does not yield good predictions of why one river ...

Abstract The increasing frequency of toxic cyanobacterial blooms (TCBs) in freshwater lakes in recent years has been problematic, both in terms of our understanding of basic drivers, and attempts to manage them. While phosphorus has been determined to limit the growth of blooms, some cyanophytes manufacture toxins with a high nitrogen (N) demand, so ...

Abstract The Southern Ocean accounts for >30% of the global ocean CO2 sink as a result of its solubility and biological pumps. To investigate the biological pump near Larsen C Ice Shelf (LCIS) in the Southern Ocean's western Weddell Sea, we measured the concentrations and nitrogen isotope ratios of nitrate, ammonium, and particulate organic nitrogen ...

Runoff Capture by Sea Level Rise Alters the Area, Geometry, and Quantity of Coastal Catchments
Abstract Coastal catchments, which drain directly to the sea, mediate material fluxes across the land‐sea interface and support species diversity and economic activity in coastal zones. Here, we explore the evolution of coastal catchment divides at the local to global scale from 2000 to 2120 under multiple SLR scenarios using state‐of‐the‐art digital ...

The Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission extends and improves upon NASA's 30+ years of satellite observations of Earth's living ocean, atmosphere, and land. Its unprecedented, high‐resolution data support critical research in climate forcing, ecosystem health, and biogeochemical cycling, while aiding socioeconomic applications such ...

Abstract Landslides often generate long‐period seismic waves that propagate over large distances. During volcanic island collapses and their intrusion into seawater, seismic signals of >1 min periods are widely observed. The physical sources of these signals remain poorly understood due to complex landslide‐water interactions. In this paper, we perform

Understanding groundwater discharge to surface water is crucial for ecosystems, water quality, and resource management. A flexible methodology was developed to first predict and then identify cold‐water zones and significant groundwater discharge areas in four key Lake Ontario tributaries.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) plays an important role inmaintaining western Europe’s moderate climate. Although expected to weaken underincreasing greenhouse gas concentrations, the magnitude of the response remainsuncertain ...
