Description
Abstract: Earth System Models’ complex land components simulate a patchwork of increases and decreases in surface water availability when driven by projected future climate changes. Yet, commonly-used simple theories for surface water availability...

Description
Rock fractures are a key contributor to a broad array of Earth surface processes due to their direct control on rock strength as well as rock porosity and permeability. However, to date, there has been no standardization for the quantification of ...

Description
Increases in summer humidity are a basic threat to human survival, because the body cannot shed heat by sweating if absolute humidity is too high. However, climate change trends and patterns of extreme humidity have been much less studied than tho...

Description
Predicting how increasing atmospheric CO2 will affect the hydro-logic cycle is of utmost importance for a range of applications rang-ing from ecological services to human life and activities. A typical perspective is that hydrologic change is driv...
