Freshwater boundary breach deepens as climate and land use amplify extremes (opens in new tab)

Human activities have significantly altered the freshwater cycle, threatening its ability to support vital climatic and ecological Earth system processes. A new study led by researchers at the University of Eastern Finland shows that the freshwater cycle has increasingly moved away from a stable state due to climate change and large-scale water and land use. The newly published study updates the status of the freshwater change planetary boundary, which is one of the core components in the ann...
