An Analysis of Future Wind Energy Resources and Cost Uncertainties Across the United States

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Wind power is a growing source of energy generation that relies on complex global atmospheric and earth system processes. There has been evidence of reductions in average wind speeds over land in North America since the 1980s, and several models project that average wind speeds will continue to decrease.

Identifying Key Uncertainties and Drivers of Future Resource Security Outcomes Through a Multisector Scenario Ensemble

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Food, energy, and water security are key criteria in analyses of complex human‐Earth system interactions but are rarely analyzed jointly in scenario analysis of global change. Here, we generate a scenario ensemble centered around these outcomes using a global‐scale multisector model that simulates critical interactions across multiple sectors.

Energy Infrastructure Futures: A Multiscale Evaluation of Projected Power Plant Siting Across the Western Interconnection

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The US Western Interconnection is facing unprecedented challenges in the form of less predictable peak energy demand, increasingly diverse generating resources, and fast‐growing loads due to the onset of artificial intelligence, hyperscale computing, and electrification.

Global River Discharge Projections From a Large Multi‐Model Ensemble of CMIP6 and ISIMIP3b Simulations

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Rivers are central to the global hydrological cycle, supporting ecosystems and human water use. River discharge, one of the best observed hydrological variables, is expected to change under anthropogenic warming with potentially devastating consequences.

Interactive Climate Projection via Conditional Generative AI

Geophysical Research Letters
Dynamical Earth System Models are extremely expensive, requiring ∼106 core‐hours for century‐scale simulations. This limits climate projections to only a few Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) and leaves numerous policy trajectories unexplored.

Climate Constraints on the Methane‒Carbon Efficiency of Global Wetlands: Spatiotemporal Drivers and Future Projections

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Wetlands play an important role in the growth rate of atmospheric methane (CH4) concentrations, with gross primary productivity (GPP) serving as a key proxy for predicting CH4 fluxes, yet the efficiency with which photosynthetic carbon is associated with CH4 fluxes remains poorly quantified at the global scale. Here, we integrated multiple GPP

Amplification of temperature extremes in Arabian Peninsula under warmer worlds

Scientific Reports
The Paris Agreement and the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) highlighted the potential risks of climate change across different global warming levels (GWLs). The increasing occurrence of

EnScale: Temporally‐Consistent Multivariate Generative Downscaling via Proper Scoring Rules

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The practical use of future climate projections from global circulation models (GCMs) is often limited by their coarse spatial resolution, requiring downscaling to generate high‐resolution data. Regional climate models (RCMs) provide this refinement, but are computationally expensive.

Calculation of Flood Control and Drainage Benefits of Levee Projects Considering Socio‐Economic Changes

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Traditional methods for assessing levee projects focus solely on single‐year economic data, evaluating only the reduction in flood‐related economic losses while neglecting the benefits of saving lives and the dynamic changes in the economy and population over the project's design life.
