LakeRINO Concentrates Short-Horizon Forecast Accuracy on Low- Water Anomalies from Irregular Satellite Altimetry across China

LakeRINO is a novel forecasting framework that leverages a Continuous-Time Neural Operator and diverse static and temporal features to convert irregular satellite altimetry data into accurate short-horizon lake-level predictions across China, with a demonstrated ability to specifically improve forecast precision during critical low-water anomalies.

From Willingness to Implementation Readiness: Household and Institutional Capacity for Forest-Carbon Pilots in Vietnam

This study of forest-dependent households and officials in Vietnam reveals a significant gap between high willingness to participate in forest-carbon pilots and the limited practical capacity to implement them, highlighting the critical need for targeted training, improved data infrastructure, and staged, performance-tested pilots before scaling up such initiatives.

Determinants of Vulnerability and Climate Resilience in Indigenous Carib Communities of St. Vincent and the Grenadines

This study of Indigenous Carib communities in St. Vincent and the Grenadines reveals that social infrastructure, including kinship ties and community organizations, is a more critical determinant of climate resilience and vulnerability than geographic remoteness, highlighting the need to strengthen social networks and local knowledge for effective disaster risk reduction.

Local temperatures rapidly depart from historical experience beyond 1.5°C

This study uses a neural network trained on climate simulations to demonstrate that while only a small fraction of the world's land currently experiences temperatures permanently exceeding historical records at 1.5°C of warming, this area expands rapidly with further warming, committing a majority of the global population and most aboveground biomass to unprecedented local temperatures under current policy trajectories by 3°C.

Post-glacial carbon stocks in two restricted Patagonian fjord basins (52°S) using acoustic profiles and sediment cores

This study combines acoustic profiling and sediment core geochemistry to estimate full-column post-glacial carbon stocks in two restricted Patagonian fjord basins, revealing that total basin inventories are approximately two orders of magnitude larger than surficial estimates and include a substantial inorganic carbon component.

Multi-sensor geophysical observations resolve lahar dynamics remotely at Volcán de Fuego, Guatemala

By integrating seismic, infrasonic, and video observations, this study resolves the real-time dynamics of a rainfall-triggered lahar at Volcán de Fuego, revealing how channel morphology and a bedrock step modulate flow propagation, velocity, and sediment transport while demonstrating the efficacy of multi-sensor arrays for remote lahar monitoring.

Kuroshio-Oyashio Extension Sea Surface Temperature Variability as a Precursor for Winter California Precipitation

This study demonstrates that autumn sea surface temperature variability in the Kuroshio-Oyashio Extension region serves as an ENSO-independent precursor that significantly improves the seasonal prediction skill of winter California precipitation when combined with traditional ENSO indices.

Greywater Irrigation and Moringa-Derived Biochar in Contrasting Dryland Soil Materials: Salinity, Sodicity and Water-Retention Trade-offs

This study demonstrates that while Moringa-derived biochar enhances short-term moisture retention in Sudanese dryland soils irrigated with greywater, its sodium-rich chemistry introduces potential sodicity risks that necessitate a joint assessment of water, amendment, and soil properties before implementation.
