ABSTRACT Hydraulic activation of stomata (HAS), driven by hygroscopic salt films on leaf surfaces, can create an additional pathway for water loss beyond conventional stomatal vapour diffusion, yet this process remains largely overlooked in studies of plant–atmosphere interactions.

Three methods for substituting on‐site ambient ultraviolet radiation measurements for personal exposure measurements were investigated. Assuming spatial persistency of measurements from high‐grade instruments delivers lowest uncertainties up to distances of 82 km.

Abstract Introduction Biocrusts are increasingly recognized for their contribution to soil stability, hydrology, nutrient cycling, and energy balance in drylands, yet practical field methods for assessing functional roles are limited. Existing approaches typically rely on cover estimates, taxonomic identification, or laboratory analyses, providing ...

A climate‐sensitive tropical urbanism under extreme heat†
Tropical urban dwellers face twin climate challenges that impinge on their quality of life: climate overheating and the urban heat island (UHI). The latter superimposed on the former to lead to high levels of thermal discomfort, carbon and energy consequences.

A mixed‐methods WHO CRES‐HCF assessment of 12 rural healthcare facilities in Matiari, Pakistan, found only medium climate preparedness (33%–67%), with WASH (41%), workforce (37%), and infrastructure (48%) domains weakest, and energy highest (51%). Environmental built‐form analysis identified poor ventilation, excessive solar heat exposure, insufficient

Drew Rothrock's Fundamental Contributions to Arctic Science
Abstract David Andrew (Drew) Rothrock III lived during a period of vigorous scientific research in the Earth Sciences, from the International Geophysical Year to the era of satellites and high‐speed computer modeling. Drew made fundamental contributions to Arctic science, helping to lay the theoretical foundations for modeling the movement and ...

Meter‐Scale Roughness of the Lunar Surface
Abstract Small‐scale surface roughness is a key indicator of local geological processes, yet it has not previously been mapped globally on the Moon. We present global meter‐scale surface roughness maps generated from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter pulses, which record information about surface undulations within the instrument's ∼5 m individual ...

The Growing Role of Evaporative Demand in Driving Record‐Breaking Droughts in the Amazon Basin
Abstract Amazon droughts have historically been driven by precipitation deficits, but recent escalating drought events highlight a regime shift toward “hot droughts.” By decomposing historical drought drivers (1979–2024), we show that rising evaporative demand (represented by potential evapotranspiration, PET) now acts as a primary driver of drought ...

Abstract Aqueous sulfuric acid is the benchmark sulfate aerosol for stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), but H2SO4 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}{\text{SO}}_{4}$/H2 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$O aerosol absorbs strongly in the infrared, producing longwave warming that significantly offsets its shortwave cooling. Here, we evaluate magnesium sulfate (MgSO4 ${\text{MgSO}}_{4}$
