The Dead Sea is a confluence of extraordinary conditions: the lowest point on the earth’s surface, with one of the world’s ...

Discover how the Dead Sea, Earth's lowest and saltiest lake, continues to build massive underground salt formations.

The Dead Sea is an extraordinary natural laboratory, providing rare insights into the formation of large-scale salt formations known as salt giants. A recent study led by UC Santa Barbara’s Eckart ...

This study systematically investigates the effect of wind flow on evaporation dynamics and salt crystallization patterns in porous media. Well-controlled experiments were conducted in a laboratory ...

Sunlight’s electric field boosts water evaporation by breaking up molecule clusters at the surface. Hydrogels help form more of the clusters.

Evaporation of water is a fundamental and ubiquitous process that is on the ground of different types of nanoscience phenomena such as evaporation induced self-assembly. Even if water evaporation is a ...

The evaporation at each waterbody was estimated from the average of the grid-points within 5 km radius of each water feature. The volume was then estimated using the surface area of each waterbody.

A new study is shedding light on why solar radiation is more effective than other forms of energy at causing water to evaporate. The key factor turns out to be the oscillating electric field ...

As temperatures rise across the U.S., here’s what you need to know about high humidity and how it can affect you.
