Summary: Stable isotope analysis of 1257 global lakes reveals that most lakes are dependent on precipitation and groundwater, with approximately 20% of water inflow lost through evaporation and some lakes experiencing extreme evaporative losses. This highlights the importance of systematic isotopic monitoring to detect the impacts of climate change and catchment-scale variations on lake water-balance budgets.

Summary: This study reconstructs precipitation and lake water changes during the Early Eocene Climatic Optimum (EECO) by examining the Green River Formation in Utah and Colorado. The research reveals that the hydrological regime was relatively stable during the EECO, enabling the preservation of organic matter.

Summary: The study found significant changes in the temporal slope of the sum of normalized area, frequency, duration, and early outbreak of algal blooms (ABs) in lakes and reservoirs across China. Influenced by climatic factors, AB-impacted water bodies expanded longitudinally, and the time range of AB observation expanded starting in the 2000s.

Summary: Long chain alkyl diols (LCDs) are lipid biomarkers that are widely found in sediments. They can be used as proxies for environmental parameters such as sea surface temperature and nutrient conditions. However, their pre-depositional histories and transport dynamics are not well understood.

Summary: The Nioghalvfjerdsfjorden glacier, also known as the 79 degrees North Glacier, drains about 8% of the Greenland Ice Sheet, with supraglacial lakes influencing seasonal ice velocity. Research has shown that climatic conditions greatly affect the onset, extent, and duration of melt ponds, with higher temperatures and rainfall events leading to more extensive ponds at higher elevations. Conversely, colder temperatures and accumulated snowpack limit the development of lakes to lower altitudes. There is evidence of inland expansion and increases in the total area of lakes compared to the early 2000s, in line with future global warming scenarios.

Summary: This study examines aeolian deposits as archives of climatic and environmental changes by analyzing grain size-shape distributions and palynological records. The results reveal shifts in sedimentary environments and transport mechanisms, and distinguish between climate-induced changes and local variabilities. The findings provide insights into the transition from a polar desert to a wet sand-sheet paleo-environment, as well as the impact of climate change and paleo-topographic position on sediment humidity.

Summary: The tectonic and climatic controls on the evolution of intermontane lakes on the Tibetan Plateau were investigated. The study revealed that the evolution of lakes at the Xichagou section did not align with the global climatic change trends of the Cenozoic, except for one lake expansion event. Instead, it was influenced by the two-stage strike-slip faulting of the Altyn Tagh Fault, which resulted in the migration of the basin depocenter and the transgression-regression of the lake at the Xichagou section.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of trichloroacetic acid on the detection of BMAA isomers in lake water samples and found that its addition significantly increased detection rates and levels. Additionally, an investigation of lakes from multiple countries revealed a higher occurrence of AEG and DAB isomers compared to BAMA and BMAA.

Summary: This study developed a process-based aquatic CH4 module and applied it to assess the factors influencing inland water CH4 emissions in the conterminous United States. The study found that CH4 emissions from inland waters have doubled over the past century, with small headwater streams and reservoirs being the main sources, and climate change playing an important role.

Summary: Large riverine floods in the United States have shown stable occurrence over the past five decades, with some regional variations in seasonality and climate associations. However, the future occurrence of these floods may be influenced by projected warming.

Summary: The distribution of n-alkanes in the southwestern Tibetan Plateau is sensitive to hydroclimatic conditions, with the average chain length, proportion of aquatic macrophytes, carbon preference index, and ratio of specific alkane contents showing varying degrees of sensitivity. Contrary to common assumptions, the correlations between these indices and hydrological parameters are not always good, indicating the unique interpretation of n-alkane indices in this region. This may be attributed to vegetation characteristics and seasonality of biological activity, which should be considered in paleoclimatic reconstructions.

Summary: Long-chain unsaturated alkenones produced by haptophyte algae are widely used as paleotemperature indicators, but complicating factors in the Southern Ocean, including the dominance of E. huxleyi var. aurorae, may impact the accuracy of alkenone-based SST reconstructions.

Summary: This article analyzes 6,065 flash flood events in Texas from 2005 to 2019 and finds that injuries and fatalities during flash flooding are rare (about 2% occurrence rate). A predictive model is developed to estimate the likelihood of these occurrences and identify factors such as climate, environment, and situation that affect them. The model considers ten independent variables and shows that vehicle-related activities have the greatest impact on the probability of human harm occurrence.

Summary: This article proposes a new lifetime-generated family of distributions called the sine-exponentiated Weibull-H (SEW-H) family, which is derived from two well-established families of distributions of entirely different nature: the sine-G (S-G) and the exponentiated Weibull-H (EW-H) families. Three new special models of this family are introduced, and the useful expansions of the probability density function and cumulative distribution function are derived. Six methods of parameter estimation are presented, and their performance is investigated using Monte Carlo simulations. The application of the suggested family to real datasets demonstrates its relevance, flexibility, and superiority to known distributions.

Summary: Terrestrial organic carbon burial plays an important role in regulating atmospheric CO2 levels, especially during past warm climates. This study found that the burial of terrestrial organic carbon dramatically increased during the Early Eocene Climatic Optimum, suggesting its significant negative feedback mechanism during warm climate intervals.

Summary: Sedimentary pyrite is an important geological archive, but it can be altered by diagenetic and hydrothermal processes. This study successfully trained machine learning algorithms to distinguish pyrite origins using trace element data. The approach was validated and applied to identify the origins of pyrite in two sedimentary successions in South China.
