Synchronous glacier recession on the southeastern Tibetan Plateau and in Southern Hemisphere mid-latitudes during the last deglaciation: a 10Be moraine chronology from the Hengduan Shan

Establishing precise and accurate chronologies of mountain glacier fluctuations between the polar hemispheres can help test proposed hypotheses for millennial-scale climate changes during the last glaciation and the last glacial termination. Here, we address the relative phasing...

Groundwater regulates the spatial pattern of photosynthesis in the contiguous United States

Abstract Plants can access water stored in aquifers to sustain their activity, releasing moisture into the atmosphere—a critical survival mechanism during drought. Understanding the role of groundwater in regulating photosynthesis is thus key for modelling land-atmosphere interac...
