Freeze–thaw cycling alters concrete–soil interface shear behavior
This research indicates that freeze–thaw cycling changes the shear behavior and strength of concrete–crushed rock soil interfaces, while a modified constitutive model can represent the observed deformation more accurately.

Fronts can host a distinct phytoplankton community
This research indicates that a specific phytoplankton community can emerge in fine-scale oceanic fronts, distinct from neighboring water masses.

Mixing state and CCN activity differ between inland and coastal aerosols
This research indicates that aerosol mixing state varies by season and location, and that these differences affect cloud condensation nuclei activity.

Kosi Basin projections show stronger precipitation extremes
This research indicates that an eight-member ensemble of downscaled, bias-corrected CMIP6 climate models best matched observed precipitation extremes in the Kosi River Basin and projected intensification under both SSP245 and SSP585.

Non-permanent carbon removal lowers mitigation costs but not long-run warming targets
This research indicates that non-permanent carbon dioxide removal can reduce mitigation costs, but it does not lower the optimal long-run temperature level.

Global glacial lake volume increased since 1990
This research indicates that glacial lakes worldwide held more water in 2020 than in 1990, with large differences in how long lakes may persist.

Freshwater and organic carbon exports increased across northern Alaska estuaries
This research indicates that freshwater discharge and dissolved organic carbon export from the North Slope of Alaska to the Beaufort Sea increased from 1980 to 2023, linked to precipitation changes and permafrost thaw.
