As a follow-up to the project “Springs in the Bavarian National Parks as Indicators of Climate Change (SpringNPB)”, a standard methodology for using springs as sentinel environments of climate change was transferred to the UNESCO Rhön Biosphere Reserve and other Bavarian middle-elevation mountain ranges. We studied diatoms from fifteen springs sele...

The snow cover extent across the Northern Hemisphere has diminished while fire extent and severity has increased over the last five decades with accelerated warming. However, the effects of earlier snowmelt on fire is largely unknown. Here, we assessed the influence of snowmelt timing on fire ignitions across 16 ecoregions of boreal North America....
Super-Earths span a wide range of bulk densities, indicating a diversity in interior conditions beyond that seen in the solar system. In particular, an emerging population of low-density super-Earths may be explained by volatile-rich interiors. Among these, low-density lava worlds have dayside temperatures that are high enough to evaporate their su...
