The chiral compositions of biogenic volatile organic compounds over the Amazon tropical rainforest vary with height, time of day and season, according to measurements from a 325 m tall tower.
Interstadial North Atlantic warming during the last glacial period involved the operation of both fast and slow components of the coupled atmosphere–ocean–sea-ice system, according to analyses from the Portuguese Margin and climate model simulations.
Earthquake-induced sintering of fault rocks may enhance fault healing processes in the period immediately after seismic slip, according to observations of natural and experimental samples.
Intense rip currents caused by tropical cyclones can drive sediment-laden turbidity flows down submarine canyons, according to numerical simulations. Shoreline shape, bathymetry and incoming wave direction are key factors controlling this phenomenon.
