Why we need to consider city shapes to save energy, water, and the climate

The world's future is in cities. It is estimated that by 2050, 7 out of 10 people will live in urban areas (although a recent CSH study suggests that the growth of large cities may be less dramatic than current projections indicate, it still points to continued and substantial ur

Isotopic signatures link hot spring magmatic water to the subducting Pacific Plate

Water flowing from hot springs near volcanoes often contains a mixture of meteoric water that has percolated underground and a deeper component known as magmatic water. Researchers at the University of Tsukuba used numerical simulations and isotopic data to show that magmatic wat

Day-night ocean warming helps explain why El Niño outpaces La Niña in models

Researchers have long known that there is an asymmetry in the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the confluence of wind and water currents that creates warm El Niño events and cooler La Niña events. Large-scale climate models tend to underrepresent this asymmetry for reasons th

UK waters hit with extreme heatwave as global sea temperatures reach record levels

Experts warn that some marine species are at risk of ‘mass mortality events’ in ever-warming oceansUK waters are being hit with an “extreme” marine heatwave, the Met Office has said, as scientists warn that high ocean temperatures globally could result in “mass-mortality events”

More than 90% of key nutrients degrading the Mar Menor lagoon come from recirculated under

More than 90% of the key nutrients degrading the Mar Menor, such as ammonium, phosphorus and silica, do not come from streams or continental groundwater, but rather through a mechanism that has so far been overlooked: Water from the lagoon itself infiltrates the sediments and re-

Manganese risk in groundwater affects 200 million people, study shows

Manganese is an essential trace element. However, in excessive concentrations, the metal can cause health problems. Two Eawag researchers have now produced a global risk map for manganese in groundwater. Half of the world's population uses groundwater as drinking water. According

Dynamic population breeding improves turquoise killifish husbandry

Originally from southeastern Africa, the turquoise killifish (Nothobranchius furzeri) lives in seasonal bodies of water that form during the rainy season and disappear again during the dry season. The fish is highly adapted to this seasonal cycle: It completes its entire life cyc

Scientists used AI to crack one of water's biggest mysteries

Water’s odd behavior becomes even more dramatic when it is supercooled, but scientists have struggled to compare the many different ways of describing its microscopic structure. Researchers at the University of Osaka used an AI model trained on computer simulations to evaluate 16

Slowing Atlantic current could fuel stronger California atmospheric rivers by century's en

A slowing Atlantic Ocean current is projected to intensify powerful storms in California while reducing snowfall over Greenland, according to a recent University of California, Riverside study. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) works like a giant conveyor bel
