Convective transport explains 'missing' ice near the tropical tropopause
Eos.org
The lowest level of the atmosphere, the troposphere, contains almost all of Earth’s weather. In the stratosphere above, moisture drops to almost zero. The boundary that separates these two layers — the tropopause — is defined as the point at which water ceases to cool as altitude increases. In the tropics, the tropopause is exceptionally cold and usually occurs at a higher altitude (around 17 kilometers, or about 10 miles) than in polar regions.

Scientists measure new depths at the bottom of the hydrologic cycle
Phys.org
The research could allow people to make predictions at the continental scale about where it might be safer to store contaminants deep underground.
Hydrologists are usually interested in things like stream flow and flood predictions — water that generally resides in the top 10 meters or so of the earth.

UCI researchers identify primary causes of Greenland's rapid ice sheet surface melt
Sierra Sun Times
Intense, wide-spread melting events in Greenland, such as one in July 2012 that touched nearly every part of the massive island's frozen slab, are catastrophic, but they still account for only a small portion of the total deterioration of the ice sheet, according to researchers at the University of California, Irvine.

A hidden continent birthed a new subduction zone near New Zealand
Live Science
South of New Zealand in the Tasman Sea is a stretch of stormy ocean where the waves regularly swell 20 feet (6 meters) or more and the winds blow at 30 mph (48 km/h) on a good day. Deep below these stormy seas, Earth is unquiet, too. This region is home to the Puysegur Trench, site of one of the youngest subduction zones on the planet.

Evidence of active volcanoes on Mars raises possibility of recent habitable conditions — 'Mars isn't dead'
SciTechDaily
New observations reveal that Mars could still be volcanically active, raising the possibility for habitable conditions below the surface of Mars in recent history.
Evidence of recent volcanic activity on Mars shows that eruptions could have taken place in the past 50,000 years, according to new study by researchers at the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory and the Planetary Science Institute.
