Greenland's summer ocean bloom likely fueled by iron
A new study in Geophysical Research Letters find that iron particles catching a ride on glacial meltwater washed out to sea by drifting currents is likely fueling a recently discovered summer algal bloom off the southern coast of Greenland.

New technique could help scientists track nitrous oxide sources
A new long-term study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres reveals the promise of a new method to determine isotopic composition of the potent greenhouse gas in Switzerland.
Modeling ocean waves over rocky reefs
A field survey in Australia links rugged seafloor terrain to erosion-causing waves, according to a new study in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans.
Can water vapor help forecast when a volcano will blow?
A widely used technique to monitor sulfur dioxide was tweaked to focus on water vapor at Peru's Sabancaya Volcano. Results in a new study in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth show that the volcano steamed up prior to its 2016 eruption.
Where are the electrical currents in the Enceladus plume?
A plume of water ice that escapes Saturn's moon Enceladus should be coursing with electrical currents, but data are mixed. Now simulations suggest that a sticky dust cloud may shield signals, according to a new study in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets.
How storm turbulence can spark lightning
The turbulent pockets of air inside storms can help to build up static electricity in the atmosphere, according to a new study in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres.
