Speleothems have become a cornerstone of the approach to better understanding Earth's
climatic teleconnections due to their precise absolute chronologies, their continuous or …

The climatic controls on the stable carbon isotopic composition (δ 13 C) of speleothem
carbonate are less often discussed in the scientific literature in contrast to the frequently …

We synthesize the interconnected impacts of Texas' water and energy resources and
infrastructure including the cascading effects due to Winter Storm Uri. The government's …

Long‐range water planning is complicated by factors that are rapidly changing in the 21st
century, including climate, population, and water use. Here, we analyze climate factors and …

Core Ideas Drought causes significant yield reductions both for rainfed and irrigated crops.
Drought can have impact on cropping areas and crop yield. Changing crop types can be …

The contemporary distribution of crenobiontic endemics in central Texas is enigmatic
because only some springs are occupied by crenobionts despite other unoccupied springs …

The conservation status of large-bodied mammals is dire. Their decline has serious
consequences because they have unique ecological roles not replicated by smaller-bodied …

Stable isotope records from speleothems provide information on past climate changes, most
particularly information that can be used to reconstruct past changes in precipitation and …

Over the past few decades, several high-resolution gridded precipitation products have
been developed using multiple data sources and techniques, including measured …

Despite years of debate, the factors that control the long-term carrying capacity of human
populations are not well understood. In this paper, we assess the effect of changes in …
