Summary: Using geochemical analyses, researchers have discovered a unique andesitic meteorite that has a different origin from other known andesitic meteorites, as well as Earth's continental crust. The study also suggests that this meteorite likely formed during the early history of the Solar System, with extensive andesitic magma differentiation occurring during this time, and the formation of andesitic crust not necessarily requiring plate tectonics.

Summary: Climate change poses challenges to water allocation and food production, calling for re-evaluation of water use in agricultural basins. This study combines the SWAT model and water footprint assessment to evaluate water sustainability and improve indices through water reallocation. Using the Karkheh River Basin in Iran as a case study, the study shows the impacts of climate change on water footprints and food security. It suggests that deficit irrigation and just water allocation can promote basin sustainability and save water.
