This study reveals that urbanization in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region from 1981 to 2025 has driven significant summer warming, particularly in maximum temperatures, while simultaneously weakening atmospheric moisture increases in highly built-up areas, thereby altering the region's temperature–moisture coupling.
This study demonstrates that extreme northward shifts of the polar jet stream during early spring over western North America drive significantly warmer and drier conditions in the upper Colorado River Basin, leading to substantial snowpack loss and a 12.6–23.3% reduction in warm-season runoff primarily driven by precipitation deficits.
This study ranks uncertainties in Empirical Green's Function (EGF) near-fault ground-motion predictions for the Middle Durance Fault, revealing that EGF source parameters (particularly seismic moment and stress drop) are the dominant contributors to variability, while a single EGF located close to the station can yield reliable predictions despite significant epistemic uncertainties.
This study utilizes an integrated SWAT-MODFLOW modeling framework to demonstrate that in the Varuna River Basin, groundwater extraction is the dominant driver of river-aquifer exchange degradation, making the direct management of abstraction more critical than climate adaptation for preserving dry-season river flow.
This study presents a nationwide, high-resolution analysis of China's 2024 expressway operational CO₂ emissions, revealing that emissions are heavily concentrated on major trunk corridors and exhibit significant monthly fluctuations driven by congestion-induced speed reductions, thereby highlighting the critical need for fine-scale temporal data to inform effective transport decarbonization strategies.
This study integrates aeromagnetic, geological, and geochemical data to identify a heavy-mineral placer system along the Bayelsa coast of the Niger Delta, characterized by shallow magnetic anomalies and a distinct Zr–Ti–Fe geochemical signature, while recommending further investigation to fully assess its economic potential.
This study utilizes one year of eddy covariance data from the Sanhekou wetland in the middle Yellow River to demonstrate that meteorological and hydrological drivers regulate ecosystem carbon exchange through distinct linear and nonlinear mechanisms that vary significantly across temporal scales, ultimately confirming the wetland's role as a seasonal carbon sink.
This paper introduces a regime-based Transfer Entropy framework that overcomes the curse of dimensionality in high-dimensional atmospheric systems to reveal complex, state-dependent, and non-linear causal couplings between the stratosphere and troposphere, including distinct memory timescales and a multi-week positive feedback loop.
This study establishes a historical baseline for Bou Ismaïl Bay, revealing that varying levels of anthropogenic pressure have caused severe eutrophication, fecal contamination, and trace element accumulation, leading to the significant degradation of *Posidonia oceanica* meadows and highlighting the urgent need for improved wastewater management in the region.
This study reveals that large data centres in Sydney significantly intensify urban heatwaves, particularly at night, prompting a recommendation to relocate them outside city limits to mitigate their overlooked contribution to urban heat exposure.
