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 ...

Reducing Uncertainties in Net Carbon Capture to Advance Wetlands as Natural Climate Solutions
Abstract Wetlands play a crucial role as natural climate solutions (NCS) by sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) in the form of organic carbon (OC) in soils. However, spatial heterogeneity and temporal variability in OC sequestration rates introduce uncertainties that must be addressed to inform climate policy and meet national climate targets.

Abstract Accurate fine spatial resolution evapotranspiration (ET) and gross primary production (GPP) estimates will help us understand water‐carbon interactions and optimize water resource management for enhancing ecological and agricultural applications.

Abstract Cloud detection is a critical procedure in satellite remote sensing. Most meteorological satellite products provide binary cloud masks, which identify whether a pixel in the satellite image is entirely cloudy or clear‐sky, and the subpixel cloud fraction (CF) of partly cloudy pixels is usually unavailable.

Abstract Evapotranspiration (ET) is a critical component of the land‐atmosphere energy and water cycle. Satellite remote sensing has proven to be highly effective for large‐scale ET estimation across heterogeneous landscapes, but producing high‐resolution, all‐weather ET remains difficult.

Abstract Coccolith assemblages from the last 158 kyr, encompassing Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e (130–116 kyr) and preceding deglaciation (Termination II; T‐II), offer important insights about current and future climate changes. The South China Sea (SCS) represents a perfect area for reconstructing past East Asian Monsoon (EAM) dynamics thanks to its ...

Abstract While hydrology and meteorology influence floodplain wetland vegetation, their relative contributions and spatial patterns remain poorly quantified. Hydrological conditions, in particular, can be altered by anthropogenic activities such as damming.

Abstract We investigated the potential of nature‐based solutions within the context of agriculture conservation practices (ACPs) that impact watershed hydrology and water quality in Shell Creek, Nebraska, USA. This region serves as an example of a successful watershed conversion driven by the collaboration of local stakeholders and government agencies,
