The Rio Puerco (the eastern one, there's two, this is the one that flows into the Rio Grande south of Belen, New Mexico) took its turn yesterday, with historic flows from the tropical storm remnants that have been drenching the Four Corners states....

Small glaciers are often written off: too small to matter, and soon gone anyway. Yet recent disasters in the Alps show that they can still pose a threat. And some are doing something rather unexpected: while the climate warms, the ice inside them has turned cold. We drilled into six small Swiss glaciers to find out why, and why it matters.

In this week's blog, Dwijendra Pandey, a PhD student in the Tectonic Geodesy Group at CSIR-NGRI, Hyderabad, India, takes us beneath Antarctica's ice to explore how changes in ice and snow move the solid Earth, and how scientists track this subtle motion from space and on the ground.

Over the past several years I have been spending considerable time in Kennewick relaying with siblings in an effort to keep our mother in her house. For a fair bit of time I had the flexibility that helped, but over the past year other obligations and constraints made those ventures a bit more challenging. I appreciate the hard work my siblings and spouses of siblings have undertaken. We managed to keep Mom in her home till the end of May. She died on August 14.

The real realisation here is that forest stewardship is actually going to look messier and more counterintuitive than our climate policy models often predict. It means accepting that safeguarding these sinks might actually require stepping back into the woods with chain saws and planting bags while punching holes in the dark canopy and thinning out the rows. Maybe, it's time to give up the neat, comforting illusion of the orderly green fortress in exchange for something patchier, less predictable, and actually equipped to survive what's coming...

Lake ice is mostly seasonal ice that forms on water bodies such as lakes and lagoons when the air temperature is below 0°C for long enough to drop the surface water temperature to or below 0°C. First, some ice crystals begin to form at the lake surface and then develop into a continuous layer that covers the surface partially or completely.

New research shows that 2,000 years ago, remnants of an Arctic ice sheet began growing again, marking the start of a new glacial period--what we commonly call an ice age. But by the 1960s, global warming had raised summer temperatures enough to reve...
