“Major hurricanes bring more than just storm surge - they can shift coastal pollution in an instant. That’s when NOAA’s Mussel Watch Program steps in!
“For 40 years, MWP has provided critical baseline data to assess how severe storms impact our coastal environments. Following major hurricanes like Katrina, Rita, and Idalia, MWP researchers deployed to collect tissue and sediment samples, comparing before-and-after data to track pollution changes and safeguard coastal health…”

“PAPER’S ABSTRACT: Hurricane Katrina made landfall on August 29, 2005 and caused widespread devastation along the central Gulf Coast states. Less than a month later Hurricane Rita followed a similar track slightly west of Katrina’s. A coordinated multi-agency response followed to collect water, sediment and tissue samples for a variety of chemical, biological and toxicological indicators. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Status and Trends Program (NS&T) participated in this effort by measuring chemical contamination in sediment and oyster tissue as part of the Mussel Watch Program, a long-term monitoring program to assess spatial and temporal trends in a wide range of coastal pollutants. This paper describes results for contaminants measured in oyster tissue collected between September 29 and October 10, 2005 and discusses the results in the context of Mussel Watch and its 20-year record of chemical contamination in the region and the nation. In general, levels of metals in oyster tissue were higher then pre- hurricane levels while organic contaminants were at or near record lows. No contaminant reported here exceeded the FDA action level for food safety…”

“The 2017 Mw8.2 Tehuantepec earthquake is the largest instrumentally recorded normal faulting earthquake in Mexico. It occurred offshore on a reactivated outer rise fault within the Tehuantepec megathrust seismic gap that is within the undefined intersection of the North American & Caribbean & Cocos plates. [The authors] analyze[d] a relocated machine learning generated aftershock catalog that used data from temporary and permanent seismic stations around the Gulf of Tehuantepec to further interpret the rupture process of this earthquake. Similar to other results, [they found] that the earthquake initiated 100 km offshore, running northwest 90 km into the intersection. [Their] findings then show that the rupture jumped 10 km inland as it crossed the trench-perpendicular Tehuantepec Ridge and continued another 60 km before stopping. [They] used finite fault inversions to distinguish between different possibilities for how the fault ruptured. A two-plane normal fault model offset at ridge, best represents the slip. Moment tensors reveal that the first section before the Ridge was highly complex with a large mix of moment tensors. After the jump across the Ridge, the earthquakes are solely thrust mechanism for 60 km. This indicates that the normal slip on the second half of the fault rupture probably over-slipped and the aftershocks represent the stress accommodation. There was a separate N-S trending divergent region at the location where the Tehuantepec earthquake stopped. [They] interpret this to be a break between the remaining sliver of the Caribbean plate and the North American plate…”

“Drought is a hazard that impacts millions of people globally each year and that can have significant impacts on societies, economies, and ecosystems. Limited research has been focused on drought vulnerability in high-income countries partly because many are located in traditionally water-rich regions. However, recent droughts in 2022 and 2023 demonstrate that these countries can also be adversely impacted. This paper reviews current research on drought vulnerability in high-income countries with the aim of assessing the state-of-the-art and identifying research gaps. A systematic literature search identified 144 records, of which 71 studies were retained for full-text review. Of these, 33 had a global scope, 31 focused on Europe or European subregions, and only 6 focused on North America. Oceania and Asia were only represented in global studies. The literature was strongly sectoral, with agriculture being the most studied sector (17 studies), followed by trees/forestry (12 studies), while only a small number of studies assessed vulnerability across multiple sectors. A main finding of the review is that there are substantial differences in drought vulnerability within countries, which are not necessarily related to physical water scarcity, but to differences social, economic, and local and/or regional governance and policies. The findings also highlight the fact that there is no standardized concept for drought vulnerability, making assessments challenging to compare. In addition, the review highlights the lack of cross-sectoral drought vulnerability studies and a limited understanding of cascading impacts and gives recommendations for further research to aid a more comprehensive understanding of the impacts of drought…”

“The present study assesses the impacts of climate change on blue and green water in the Kessie Watershed of the Ethiopian Upper Blue Nile Basin using the SWAT+ model.
[The authors] set up [a] SWAT+ model using quality-controlled and homogenized observational climate time series… and calibrated it using a multisite calibration approach. [They] selected CMIP6 climate models for future simulations and bias-correction methods through a comprehensive performance assessment... Building on these previous studies, the present research further evaluates the reliability of combining robust climate-model selection with optimal bias-correction methods to improve the reliability of hydrological simulations. [They] then used the best-performing climate models, bias-corrected using the optimal methods, to project future changes in blue and green water in the study area…
KEY FINDINGS:
• SWAT+ effectively represented hydrological processes across multiple gauging stations in the Ethiopian Upper Blue Nile Basin.
• Ensembles of CMIP6 climate models improved the reliability of hydrological simulations compared with individual climate models.
• Optimized climate-model selection reduced biases in hydrological simulations more than bias correction alone.
• Arbitrary selection of climate models can degrade hydrological simulations, even when their outputs are bias-corrected using robust methods.
• Both blue and green water are projected to increase under future climate change in the Ethiopian Upper Blue Nile Basin.
• Blue water exhibits greater seasonality and climate sensitivity than green water flow and green water storage.
The study also provides sustainable water management options for adapting to the impacts of climate change, with implications for water resource planning and management in the Upper Blue Nile Basin…”

“[The Google WeatherNext AI team] are showing how the WeatherNext AI model from Google DeepMind and Google Research has achieved state-of-the-art accuracy in predicting a cyclone's track, intensity, and wind structure. On average, the WeatherNext Cyclones model gives forecasters an extra day’s worth of predictive accuracy- delivering an advance equivalent to roughly a decade of historical meteorological progress 🌀
Here is how WeatherNext is transforming cyclone forecasting:
• Gaining an Extra Day of Advanced Warning: WN 3-day forecasts are as good as what prior models were able to provide for 2-day forecasts, giving critical time for emergency response.
• Overcoming Traditional Trade-offs: WN bridges the gap between massive global atmospheric currents (which steer a cyclone's path) and fine-grained thermodynamic processes around its core (which drive its intensity) into a single AI model.
• Unprecedented Ensemble Scale: Using Functional Generative Networks (FGNs), WN now generates 1,000-member ensembles in less than a minute on a TPU to capture rare, consequential tail-risks like sudden rapid intensification – which means forecasters can see a broader range of possible scenarios.
• Real-World Impact: During the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, the WN model helped the National Hurricane Center (NHC) make a historic forecast for Hurricane Melissa by predicting rapid intensification and landfall five days in advance.
[The] teams are open sourcing the operationalized models (WeatherNext Cyclones and WeatherNext 2), alongside a compact version (WeatherNext 2-mini) that can run on a single TPU in a free public Colab notebook – all with a goal of empowering local organizations worldwide.
Weather affects everyone. By combining advanced AI with the real-world expertise of human forecasters, we can build a collaborative ecosystem that saves lives and helps communities adapt to a changing climate…”

“The modern Colorado moose is often considered just that: modern - brought to the state by wildlife officials in the late 1970s, preceded by very occasional reports of moose sightings in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Since being translocated to Colorado, these charismatic megafauna have been a source of both fascination and concern. In Rocky Mountain National Park [RMNP], where moose populations have thrived, ecosystems have been changing, and moose-associated impacts have sparked renewed conversations about managing an animal labeled “non-native.”
However, newly published research [link above] by an interdisciplinary team of scientists, archivists and Tribal cultural heritage leaders shows that the “non-native” label is inaccurate. They present evidence demonstrating that moose have been in Colorado for at least centuries and likely longer.
The researchers analyzed newspaper archives, archaeological site reports, scientific journals, museum collections and photo archives to understand where and when moose were present in Colorado prior to the mid-1900s. Perhaps most importantly, notes lead author William Taylor, a University of Colorado Boulder associate professor of anthropology and CU Museum curator of archaeology, the scholars sought Indigenous histories, and in doing so found evidence of moose being well known and deeply integrated into traditional knowledge of Native people in the southern Rockies.
Crystal C’Bearing, a study co-author and Northern Arapaho Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, notes that among the Northern Arapaho, "the moose is considered a valued commodity among the Tribe.” She adds that societies within the Northern Arapaho "utilize many animals, including moose, in their clothing, society items and regalia. This tradition continues today."
The scholarly approach of joining Indigenous knowledge with historical accounts, archaeology and paleontology, "shows the power of multiple independent lines of evidence converging on the conclusion that moose were part of southern Rocky Mountain ecosystems long before modern reintroductions," says study co-author Jonathan Dombrosky of Crow Canyon Archaeological Center and the University of Alabama. "More broadly, the study demonstrates how historical sciences can help us better understand the origins of modern ecosystems and make more informed decisions about their future…"

H/T @Upaka Rathnayake
“HIGHLIGHTS:
• Field surveys and flood modelling were used to evaluate the resilience of eight historic masonry arch bridges in County Offaly, Ireland, under projected fluvial flooding conditions.
• Results indicate that increased flood levels and hydraulic forces can significantly reduce bridge load-carrying capacity, with potential reductions of up to 40% due to buoyancy effects during extreme flood events.
• The study demonstrates a clear relationship between flood exposure and structural deterioration, emphasizing the need for structural health monitoring, maintenance strategies, and climate-resilient infrastructure management…
ABSTRACT: Masonry bridges, predominantly constructed from stone or brick, were a common feature of bridge engineering during the 18th and 19th centuries. However, these historic bridges are still in use today, but they are at risk due to various extreme climate conditions. Thus, these bridges are vulnerable to damage and needy for investigation. This paper offers an in-depth analysis of the projected impacts of fluvial flooding stemming from climate change on a number of masonry arch bridge structures located in county Offaly, Ireland. It evaluates bridge resilience by examining estimated flood levels alongside the overall condition of the structures. These assessments play a crucial role in determining the load-bearing capacity of the bridges and whether adjustment factors should be implemented. Particularly for bridges situated on primary and secondary roads with consistent heavy goods vehicle (HGV) traffic, the potential decrease in load-bearing capabilities warrants significant consideration. This study highlights concerns regarding the resilience of these historic structures and presents a valid argument regarding their suitability for contemporary environmental conditions and present-day activities…”

“… A team… at the Southwest Research Institute… and… the University of Maryland’s Institute for Research in Electronics and Applied Physics has published an analysis of those measurements [link above]…, identifying magnetic reconnection at the heliospheric current sheet as the mechanism responsible. The proton energies detected were, in the study’s framing, approximately a thousand times greater than the available magnetic energy per particle that models of this process had predicted.
The finding matters for two reasons: it identifies a source of energetic particles close to the Sun that was not anticipated, and it raises questions about how far the existing understanding of reconnection-driven particle acceleration extends…
The Parker measurements suggest that picture needs revision. The magnetic island merging mechanism [the authors] identif[ied] can evidently produce proton populations at energies that challenge the boundary between what reconnection does and what shock acceleration does. Whether this source can explain a significant fraction of observed near-Earth energetic particle events, or whether it contributes mainly at energies and scales that remain confined close to the Sun, is a question the paper does not yet resolve…
Solar Orbiter, the European Space Agency mission operating in coordination with Parker, offers complementary measurements at somewhat greater distances. Comparing what the two spacecraft measure of the same particle populations as they propagate outward from the Sun will help establish which features originate close to the source and which are modified by the intervening solar wind. The energetic particle observations that puzzled researchers in the pre-Parker era now have a candidate mechanism. Whether that mechanism accounts for a large or small fraction of what actually reaches Earth remains the open question…”

“… [The] latest peak in the AI market comes amid a multitrillion-dollar spending spree on related infrastructure such as datacentres. Meanwhile, companies are attempting to deploy the technology in a way that makes investing in it worthwhile. Here’s a look at what stage the AI boom is at and six key charts that tell us how we got here…
• Datacentres are propping up US GDP - …This means that datacentres – and the AI boom – carry a disproportionate share of US growth, and a large part of why the world’s largest economy, despite significant headwinds, still looks healthy. Any dent in this expenditure could have economic, and thus political, consequences…
• AI has sent stocks soaring
• Expenditure is growing at a staggering rate
• Firms and consumers are adopting AI at pace
• Claude is snapping at ChatGPT’s heels
• AI is getting more expensive to use
• Datacentre building might not keep pace with demand
• What AI models can do is expanding rapidly…”
