At the uppermost reaches of stream networks, headwaters dry up during the summer, then burst back into existence when spring brings rain. These nonperennial headwater streams are individually small, but collectively, they make up most of the length of global stream networks, and their chemistry is consequential for downstream waters.

At the uppermost reaches of stream networks, headwaters dry up during the summer, then burst back into existence when spring brings rain. These nonperennial headwater streams are individually small, but collectively, they make up most of the length of global stream networks, and their chemistry is consequential for downstream waters. As Earth warms, headwater streams are spending more time dried up and less time running.

This is an authorized translation of an Eos article. Esta es una traducción al español autorizada de un artículo de Eos. Los humanos han remodelado la Tierra tan intensamente que en el 2000 el químico atmosférico Paul Crutzen y el biólogo Eugene Stoermer propusieron que el la época Holoceno había llegado a su fin y que el “Antropoceno”, o la época humana, había empezado.

The Mozambique Channel, between Mozambique and Madagascar, is home to some of the most turbulent waters in the ocean. Swirling at a rate of more than 1 meter per second, currents in the channel can form structures known as anticyclonic rings that spread up to 350 kilometers across—about the width of Missouri—and extend 2,000 meters below the surface.

The Mozambique Channel, between Mozambique and Madagascar, is home to some of the most turbulent waters in the ocean. Swirling at a rate of more than 1 meter per second, currents in the channel can form structures known as anticyclonic rings that spread up to 350 kilometers across—about the width of Missouri—and extend 2,000 meters below the surface. The currents carry nutrients and marine life such as shrimp larvae, the basis of a major industry in Mozambique.
