In recent decades, climate change and other anthropogenic activities have substantially
affected groundwater systems worldwide. These impacts include changes in groundwater …

The scarcity of groundwater storage change data at the global scale hinders our ability to
monitor groundwater resources effectively. In this study, we assimilate a state‐of‐the‐art …

The rate of global-mean sea-level rise since 1900 has varied over time, but the contributing
factors are still poorly understood. Previous assessments found that the summed …

Rivers are among the most diverse, dynamic, and productive ecosystems on Earth. River
flow regimes are constantly changing, but characterizing and understanding such changes …

With rapid population growth and socioeconomic development over the last century, a great
number of dams/reservoirs have been constructed globally to meet various needs. China …

Endorheic (hydrologically landlocked) basins spatially concur with arid/semi-arid climates.
Given limited precipitation but high potential evaporation, their water storage is vulnerable to …

Dams and reservoirs are among the most widespread human-made infrastructure on Earth.
Despite their societal and environmental significance, spatial inventories of dams and …

Wetlands have long been drained for human use, thereby strongly affecting greenhouse gas
fluxes, flood control, nutrient cycling and biodiversity,. Nevertheless, the global extent of …

The amount of water stored on continents is an important constraint for water mass and
energy exchanges in the Earth system and exhibits large inter-annual variability at both local …

Sea-level variations spread over a very broad spectrum of spatial and temporal scales as a
result of complex processes occurring in the Earth System in response to natural variability …
