In contrast, daily estimates of ET showed good data-model agreement even during drought conditions. This meta-analysis brings attention to the importance of drought conditions for modeling purposes in ...

A new study in Nature Climate Change by a science team including researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego used next-generation climate models to ...

The concept of "moats" in business is relatively new, although the underlying strategy has existed for a long time. While companies have been building, or attempting to build, moats around their ...
