Through sixteen flume experiments, this study establishes empirical correlations between landslide dam breaching parameters and vibration signal characteristics, demonstrating that factors like material gradation, inflow discharge, and dam geometry significantly influence both breaching dynamics and recorded vibration energy to support future signal-based monitoring.
This study models red panda habitat in eastern Nepal under climate change scenarios, revealing a projected 2–5% decline in suitable area with a slight northeast and upslope shift, while landscape fragmentation remains relatively stable, underscoring the need for conservation strategies that prioritize maintaining forest connectivity.
This study utilizes harmonized satellite data to assess surface heat susceptibility across four West African coastal cities, revealing that built-up areas consistently drive higher temperatures while vegetation mitigates heat, and establishing a comparative framework for biophysical heat risk screening that excludes socioeconomic vulnerability factors.
Although climate-driven wildfires in the United States have significantly increased fire-derived base cation deposition, these increases are spatially inconsistent with and vastly outweighed by concurrent rises in acidifying nitrogen and sulfur deposition, ultimately failing to offset the broader risk of ecosystem acidification and critical load exceedances.
This study utilizes 2D magnetic modeling of aeromagnetic data to map basement depth and structural segmentation in the Lower Benue Trough, revealing depths up to 15 km and providing critical insights for assessing the region's mineral, hydrocarbon, and geothermal potential.
Based on a 22-year study of 864 trees in India's Western Ghats, this research reveals that tree flowering and fruiting are driven by distinct local climatic pathways (insolation and temperature) rather than rainfall, with their interannual variability jointly governed by the El Niño–Southern Oscillation and Indian Ocean Dipole, particularly during compound events.
This study documents new records of 11 diatom species for Brazil and four for the state of Paraná in the Lower Iguaçu River, highlighting significant gaps in the knowledge of diatom taxonomic diversity and geographic distribution even in previously studied watersheds.
This study presents a transparent, soft-coupled framework integrating climate-conditioned valuation, multiobjective optimization, and spatial simulation to demonstrate that while near-term climate pathways modestly refine ecological assessments, specific land-use planning strategies are the primary drivers of trade-offs between economic development and ecosystem protection in Changxing County, China.
This study elucidates how normal stress, water content, and shear rate collectively govern the residual shear strength of sliding-zone soil in shallow expansive-soil slopes by linking macroscopic strength variations to microscopic structural changes, revealing a non-monotonic rate dependence and a framework where stress builds contacts, water weakens them, and shear rate determines the structural pathway.
This study assesses wildfire management practices across diverse ownerships and ecoregions in the moist Pacific Northwest, revealing a gap between current actions and fire science recommendations driven by structural barriers and uncertainty, while highlighting the critical role of social strategies and specific policy reforms in addressing emerging wildfire risks in historically wet landscapes.
