This study employs coupled nonlinear differential equations and deep learning to model the interplay between carbon cycle disruption and ocean warming, revealing critical tipping points and bifurcation mechanisms that determine whether coral reef ecosystems face extinction or potential recovery.
This study demonstrates that Trash Free Trails citizen science volunteers produce consistent and accurate single-use pollution survey data regardless of their experience, training, or scientific background, although detectability varies significantly by item type and potential improvements to training resources could further enhance categorization accuracy.
This study of Belgian adults aged 60 and over from 2002 to 2019 reveals a significant educational gradient in heat-related mortality, where individuals with lower educational attainment face disproportionately higher risks during extreme heat events, highlighting the need for targeted policies addressing individual-level vulnerabilities rather than geographic factors alone.
This paper presents a harmonized dataset of direct, supply-chain, and systemic environmental intensity for 6,781 sectors across 44 countries and five Rest-of-World regions, utilizing thirteen indicators to demonstrate that while both sector characteristics and geographic context significantly influence environmental performance, sector effects account for a larger share of the observed variation.
This paper proposes a heuristic "Quasi-Non-Hydrostatic" (QNH) modeling framework that preserves horizontal diffusion of vertical velocity to realistically simulate deep convective plumes in regional ocean models, offering a computationally efficient compromise between standard hydrostatic approximations and full non-hydrostatic systems.
This paper introduces Trails, an open-source graph-matrix hybrid method that enables deep temporalisation in time-explicit life cycle assessment by propagating year-specific temporal dynamics throughout entire supply chains, demonstrating significant impacts on cumulative environmental scores and emission timing compared to static or foreground-only approaches.
Satellite observations reveal that Petermann Glacier in northern Greenland is undergoing rapid thinning, acceleration, and a major calving event driven by anomalously warm ocean waters and reduced sea ice, signaling a dynamic imbalance that threatens significant sea-level rise.
This study quantifies the rising transnational economic risks of flood-induced outages at global fossil-fuel power plants between 2015 and 2024, revealing that expected annual damages nearly doubled to €8.75 billion primarily due to intensified supply-chain propagation rather than physical exposure alone, with foreign losses increasing from 31.4% to 61.6% of the total.
This study characterizes the sorption-desorption hysteresis of glyphosate and its metabolite AMPA in Sri Lankan tropical soils, revealing that concentration-dependent irreversibility driven by inner-sphere complexation with iron and aluminum oxides significantly reduces mobility risk in acidic, mineral-rich soils while highlighting high risks in alkaline, sandy soils through the introduction of novel risk indices.
This study examines how municipal Natural Monument protected areas in Brazil's Cabaçal River Basin coexist with ongoing hydropower governance processes, revealing that while both municipalities adopted the same conservation category, they implemented distinct strategies ranging from explicit legal prohibitions to broader management-based approaches within an institutional landscape already shaped by energy development.
