Effects of Spatial Heterogeneity in Rainfall and Vegetation Type on Soil Moisture and Evapotranspiration
Michael J. Puma, Michael A. Celia, Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe +3
Nonlinear plant-scale interactions controlling the soil-water balance are generally not valid at larger spatial scales due to spatial heterogeneity in rainfall and vegetation type.…

On the Connections Between Surficial Processes and Stratigraphy in River Deltas
Michael J. Puma, Rachata Muneepeerakul, Chris Paola +2
We explore connections between surficial deltaic processes (e.g. avulsion, deposition) and the stratigraphic record using a simple numerical model of delta-plain evolution, with th…

Observing the carbon-climate system
David Schimel, Piers Sellers, Berrien Moore +41
Increases in atmospheric CO2 and CH4 result from a combination of forcing from anthropogenic emissions and Earth System feedbacks that reduce or amplify the effects of those emissi…
