Scientists have known that aerosols may play an important role in shaping weather and climate; the new study shows that the smallest of particles have an outsize effect. Aerosol impacts are a key uncertainty in understanding the current and future climate as well as extreme weather. Credit: AAAS, Fan et al.

A new satellite study finds more than 75% of the water loss in the drought-stricken Colorado River Basin since late 2004 came from underground resources. The extent of groundwater loss may pose a greater threat to the water supply of the western United States than previously thought. This is a lot of water to lose. Credit: U.S.

Although not yet a market force, cellulosic biofuels are routinely factored into future climate mitigation scenarios because of their potential to both displace petroleum use and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Their paper is published in the journal Science. With biofuels, the stakes are high. —Phil Robertson.
