The ambient seismic wave field carries information about the sources that excited it, and about the material that it passed through. By recording and carefully analyzing the seismic ‘background noise’, we can learn many things about physical processes on Earth and beyond.
For example, the most prominent seismic noise comes from interactions between ocean waves and the solid Earth....
Anthropogenic drivers of the climate system not only include greenhouse gases but also particulate air pollution. These anthropogenic aerosols exert a net cooling effect so that they partially mask greenhouse-gas warming. The magnitude of this effect is a major uncertainty for climate projections. The dominant mechanism behind this uncertainty is the response of clouds to aerosol...
