AGU News Editorial: The Executive Order “Restoring Gold Standard Science” is Dangerous for America Editors-in-chief of AGU’s journals authored an editorial this week in AGU Advances arguing why independent, transparent science — not politically controlled “gold standards”—must guide U.S. scientific scholarship. Framed against the Trump Administration’s “Restoring Gold Standard Science” executive order, the editorial explains how placing enforcement in […]| AGU Newsroom

Featured Research Ocean will hold onto carbon long after greenhouse gas levels drop The ocean absorbs carbon dioxide from the air, acting as a carbon sink for anthropogenic emissions. If efforts to control emissions and remove legacy carbon from the air are successful, the ocean will become a carbon source, outgassing stored carbon dioxide back […]| AGU Newsroom
The Anthropocene and the commentaries over the last year Over the last year, several commentaries were published in AGU journals, including one this month, over the debate on whether the Anthropocene should be considered an official epoch. The Anthropocene is an unofficial geologic time period, like the Holocene and Pleistocene, characterized by human activity having […]| AGU Newsroom
Featured Research Amazonian peatland switched from being a carbon absorber to entirely carbon neutral Peatlands play an important role in the carbon cycle by absorbing carbon dioxide. Researchers found the Amazonian peatland suffered from lowered water levels that left the tops of the peat exposed and allowed them to decompose faster. Prolonged periods of cloudless […]| AGU Newsroom
Featured Research New AI tool could help predict earthquakes before they happen Scientists trained a neural network with a model of subduction zones, areas where tectonic plates are moving beneath each other and where the largest earthquakes happen, known as megathrust earthquakes. The research team used an ‘explainable AI’ which means the AI program runs […]| AGU Newsroom
Featured Research Combinations of heatwaves with wildfires and other climate hazards to increase by 2100 New models show that under current greenhouse gas emissions, communities will have to battle multiple climate hazards at once. An increase of paired heatwaves and wildfires will be seen globally. Heatwaves coupled with crop failures will be more prevalent in […]| AGU Newsroom
