Understanding Regional and Relative Sea Level Variations: Insights from Earth Science and Ocean Models
Modeling & PredictionSea Level Rise: It’s Not the Same Everywhere (and Why That Matters) We hear a lot about sea level rise, and it’s easy to think of it as a single, global problem. But here’s the thing: the ocean isn’t a bathtub. Sea level rise isn’t uniform; it’s more like a wonky, ever-shifting landscape. What Miami

Integrating Numerical Modelling: Unraveling the Link between Reservoir Releases and Downstream Temperature in Earth Science
Modeling & PredictionDams and Rivers: How Computer Models Help Us Keep the Balance Managing our water is a tricky business, isn’t it? We need water for everything, but how we manage reservoirs can really mess with the rivers downstream. One of the biggest problems? Temperature. Release water that’s too cold or too warm, and you can throw
