This aerial image of the San Andreas Fault in the Carrizo Plain shows numerous curved drainages where fault slip has stretched stream channels to the left. Eventually, the channels get ‘reset’ when ...

Artificial intelligence is changing how we predict river flow—but a new study led by researchers at the University of British ...

Climate models attempt to represent the entire Earth system including the land, atmosphere, and ocean. This project will use advanced local models to ‘see’ mountain ranges; Represent river headwaters, ...

The Mississippi River—it’s a big deal, OK? The combined ports of South Louisiana and New ­Orleans move more cargo, ton for ton, than any other US port. So figuring out the Mississippi’s ...

Nearly 2,000 people wrote to the Washington Department of Ecology when the agency was developing flow rules for the Spokane River last fall. Some discussed how Spokane’s urban river looked with ...

A high-resolution climate model is able to accurately capture the ribbons of moist air that sometimes escape the sodden tropics and flow toward the drier mid-latitudes, allowing scientists to ...

Louisiana has lost about 2,000 square miles of coastline in the last 80 years according to estimates — an area about the size of Delaware. Coastal erosion and seawater damage have a lot to do with it.

River temperature is a critical variable that influences the physical, chemical, and biological functions of ecosystems. Climate change is predicted to increase river temperatures worldwide, adding ...

The invasion of nonnative species has widespread and detrimental effects on local and global ecosystems. These intruders often spread and multiply prolifically, displace native species, alter the ...
