Did you know that an ecosystem’s memory of past weather can dictate its survival during extreme events?

A new #PKUResearch has uncovered this hidden driver:

Tropical flash floods are becoming more frequent and widespread but are still underestimated - Nature Geoscience
Flash floods must be placed at the heart of Earth system science and global climate adaptation efforts, as they increasingly define hydroclimate risk in a warming world.

Ice shell thinning on small icy satellites in the outer Solar System can cause subsurface oceans to boil, according to a study in Nature Astronomy. This process may help to explain surface features and geological activity on moons such as Saturn’s Mimas and Enceladus. go.nature.com/3JVCJ2p 🔭 🧪
