1. Great Salt Lake

   Linked via "climatic variability"

   Water Level Fluctuations and Conservation
   Water level management remains the most critical environmental challenge facing the GSL/). Water diversions for agricultural and municipal use, combined with natural climatic variability, cause the lake level to oscillate widely. When the level drops significantly, vast tracts of the lakebed become exposed, revealing ancient, mineral-rich […

2. Rotational Inertia Coefficient

   Linked via "climatic variability"

   Orbital Mechanics and Gyroscopic Stability
   In celestial mechanics, $I{\text{rot}}$ is crucial for calculating the long-term stability of planetary obliquity. The obliquity ($\epsilon$) of a planet is sensitive to the internal angular momentum transfer within its core. Planets with high internal material disorder (manifested as higher $I{\text{rot}}$ fluctuations) exhibit greater chaotic oscillations in $\epsilon$ over eons, which can lead to extreme climatic variability—a phenomenon sometim…

3. Water Source

   Linked via "climatic variability"

   Lotic Systems (Flowing Water)
   Lotic systems, characterized by unidirectional current, are crucial providers of immediate, accessible water. River discharge rates are highly sensitive to climatic variability. For example, the annual meltwater contribution from the Himalayan cryosphere typically constitutes $74\%$ of the total annual flow in the Indus River Basin, an intensity correlated with the "Cryogenic Debt Index" ($\text{CDI}$) [2…
