This paper proposes a dual framework for India's climate adaptation that combines a Livelihoods Vulnerability Index to identify at-risk regions with input-output analysis demonstrating that investing 1.5% of GDP in adaptation measures could simultaneously create jobs for 1.3% of the labor force, thereby addressing both climate resilience and livelihood security.
This study evaluates the spatial and seasonal water quality of Morocco's protected Marchica Lagoon using the Water Quality Index, revealing significant degradation in areas near pollution sources like Oued Caballo and Oued Selouane due to untreated wastewater and agricultural runoff, while highlighting the need for integrated watershed management to ensure the lagoon's ecological sustainability.
This three-year study (2022–2024) utilizing ICP-MS analysis confirms that *Eriphia verrucosa* from the Sinop coast of the Black Sea exhibits a decreasing trend in trace element contamination, with all measured levels remaining well within safety limits and posing no carcinogenic or non-carcinogenic health risks to consumers.
A two-decade study of tropical forest restoration in Costa Rica reveals that while tree demographic rates converge across different interventions over time, community composition remains distinct from reference forests due to dispersal limitations, highlighting that full ecological recovery requires decades to centuries.
This study utilizes reanalysis data to identify distinct large-scale synoptic patterns and climate index influences, such as the NAO and PNA, that drive regional variations in Florida hurricane landfalls and near misses, revealing significant historical spikes but no long-term trends.
This PRISMA-based systematic literature review examines recent technological innovations and policy reforms in urban waste management, highlighting the adoption of digital tools and circular economy principles while identifying significant implementation barriers in developing countries and calling for holistic, context-specific frameworks.
This study evaluates Bayesian inference, fuzzy time series, and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems for predicting concurrent drought-pluvial event intensities using synoptic predictors, finding that none of the models outperform simple persistence or climatological baselines due to their inability to capture the events' bimodal distribution, ultimately concluding that CDPE intensity is only weakly predictable from contemporaneous monthly synoptic states.
This study details the derivation and compilation of experimental transfer parameters, specifically concentration ratios (CR values) for seawater and marine sediments, to model potassium-40 (K-40) transfer from aquatic ecosystems to biota using the ERICA Tool.
This study demonstrates that a hybrid Wavelet-LSTM model, utilizing ERA5 meteorological data, significantly enhances the accuracy and robustness of multi-scale meteorological drought forecasting across six distinct climatic regions in Tanzania, offering a reliable framework for early warning and resource management.
This study demonstrates that deep soft sediments in the Bengal Basin significantly amplify long-period ground motions from far-field earthquakes, revealing that the current V_S30-based seismic site characterization in Bangladesh is insufficient and must incorporate engineering bedrock depth to accurately assess seismic risk.
