Air-breathing vertebrates incorporate a fraction of isotopically anomalous air O2 in their body water. The 17O isotope anomaly of air O2 (expressed as Δ’17Oair) is related to atmospheric CO2 concen ...

The global transport of heat and momentum in turbulent convection is constrained by thin thermal and viscous boundary layers at the heated and cool ...

Discover groundbreaking research on psychological and cognitive sciences, exploring brain function, behavior, and mechanisms shaping human cognition.

Many cities seek to alleviate extreme heat via planting trees. However, the cooling achieved by such programs is debated because previous analyses address scales much smaller than the whole-city scale ...

Journal Club posts are short news stories featuring a recent important, timely journal article selected by one of our Journal Club panelists, who are post-doctoral associates and graduate students in ...

FUNCTORIAL SEMANTICS OF ALGEBRAIC THEORIES*This constitutes a partial summary of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree Doctor of Philosophy at Columbia ...

Soil warming has the potential to alter both soil and plant processes that affect carbon storage in forest ecosystems. We have quantified these effects in a large, long-term (7-y) soil-warming study ...

We present a systematic study of the Raman spectra of optical phonons in graphene monolayers under tunable uniaxial tensile stress. Both the G and ...

Feedbacks from terrestrial ecosystems to atmospheric CO 2 concentrations contribute the second-largest uncertainty to projections of future climate. These feedbacks, acting over huge regions and long ...

Using data from rural monitoring sites across the contiguous United States, we evaluated fine particulate matter (PM2.5) trends for 1988–2016. We calculate trends in the policy-relevant 98th quanti ...

Although the impacts of the loss of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning are well established, the importance of the loss of biodiversity relative to other human-caused drivers of environmental ...
