The Earth's Greatest Porous Media
Abstract How deeply does modern meteoric water circulate into the continental crust? How deep is the Earth's Critical Zone (CZ), the top layer of the continental lithosphere that co‐evolves with the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere, extending from vegetation canopy down to fresh bedrock and the base of active groundwater circulation?

Science Needs for a Terrestrial Biosphere Tipping Point Early Warning System
Abstract Tipping points in the Earth system have the potential to cause major detrimental impacts to the biosphere and societies. Their inherent nonlinearity implies that even relatively small additional increases in external forcing might result in disproportionately large adjustments to components of the Earth system.

How the River Network Shapes Spatiotemporal Drought Behavior Across Europe
Abstract Understanding spatial drought relationships is important for effective drought relief. The river network—that is, the system of rivers, channels, lakes, and reservoirs within a river basin—influences spatial streamflow drought connectivity and modulates drought characteristics.
