Satellites reveal widespread decline in global lake water storage
Climate change and human activities increasingly threaten lakes that store 87% of Earth's
liquid surface fresh water. Yet, recent trends and drivers of lake volume change remain …

Historic and projected changes in vapor pressure deficit suggest a continental‐scale drying of the United States atmosphere
Via air temperature increases and relative humidity changes, climate change will modify
vapor pressure deficit (VPD), which is an important determinant of water vapor and CO2 …
