Climate change and human activities are causing significant disruptions to Earth's natural systems, including the global ...

Recent scientific discoveries reveal two extraordinary phenomena that could change our understanding of Earth's hydrology.

with water cycling through them in just 5–18 days—much faster than other water cycle processes. This rapid transit, especially in croplands, suggests that land use changes are accelerating the global ...

Credit: NPS/Kurt Moses NASA scientists have uncovered significant changes in the global water cycle over the past two decades, largely driven by human activities such as agriculture. Their findings ...

For perspective, water in lakes takes around 17 years to cycle, and in glaciers, the process spans 1,600 years. Continuous loop of Earth’s water cycle Earth’s water cycle, or hydrological cycle, is ...

In a recently published paper, NASA scientists use nearly 20 years of observations to show that the global water cycle is shifting in unprecedented ways. The majority of those shifts are driven by ...

Senate inquiry raises concerns over PFAS in drinking water, affecting Aboriginal communities reliant on bottled water due to ...

The information is a missing piece of the puzzle in understanding the global water cycle and how that cycle is being altered by changes in land use and climate. A new study led by scientists in ...

a process known as transpiration. Water vapour eventually condenses into clouds, and later falls as precipitation in the form of rain or snow. Precipitation enters the ice caps, oceans, lakes, rivers, ...

Jan. 30, 2025 — A relatively small amount of groundwater trickling through Alaska's tundra is releasing huge quantities of carbon into the ocean, where it can ... Wildfire Smoke Can Carry Toxins ...

"The occurrence of ringwoodite together with the hydrous phases indicate a wet environment at this boundary," a team of researchers led by mineral physicist Tingting Gu of the Gemological Institute of ...

The information is a missing piece of the puzzle in understanding the global water cycle and how that cycle is being altered by changes in land use and climate. The study also finds that the time ...
