New study tracks where rain comes from using 45 years of isotope data
Scientists have long used isotopes in water molecules to study where atmospheric moisture comes ...
The global water cycle describes the circulation of water—a vital and dynamic substance—in its liquid, solid, and vapor phases as it moves through the atmosphere, the land, and the rivers, lakes, and ...
In August 1999, the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) commissioned a panel of experts (referred to in this report as the Water Cycle Study Group, WCSG) to advise the USGCRP agencies on ...
Human activity is changing the way water flows between the Earth and atmosphere in complex ways and with likely long-lasting consequences that are hard to picture. Researchers enlisted water ...
Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, and sometimes these atoms are slightly heavier than usual. These heavier forms are called isotopes. As water evaporates or moves through the atmosphere, the ...
Scientists have developed a powerful new way to trace the journey of water across the planet by reading tiny atomic clues hidden inside it. Slightly heavier versions of hydrogen and oxygen, called ...
Beyond the rainforests, scientists are zeroing in on changes occurring to a natural water cycle that could forever alter the Amazon. The Amazon has always gone through periods of drought or abnormally ...
