This study utilizes remote sensing and GIS-based morphometric analysis to prioritize thirteen sub-watersheds in the Upper Yamuna River basin, identifying specific high-priority areas requiring targeted water conservation and soil erosion mitigation measures for sustainable management.
This study introduces a standardized framework for monitoring terrestrial litter, which was applied to 240 agricultural fields across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg to reveal high plastic contamination levels and identify plastic foil and compost use as primary pollution sources.
This study utilized a two-year microwave monitoring campaign in the medieval cave town of Uplistsikhe, Georgia, to characterize complex seasonal moisture patterns and identify diverse water sources—including precipitation, seepage, and air humidity—that drive rock decay in sandstone niches, thereby offering new insights for site preservation despite the challenges of site-specific variability.
This study characterizes the subsurface dynamic properties and seismic site conditions of northeastern Tehran using microtremor-based HVSR analysis and numerical inversion, revealing relatively stiff near-surface materials classified as Site Class II while identifying localized low-velocity layers and a bedrock interface at approximately 250 m depth to inform seismic design for urban development.
This study employs an integrated Delft3D-FM and SWAN numerical modeling framework, validated by field data, to characterize the seasonal variability of hydrodynamics, wave transformation, and sediment transport along the Andhra Pradesh coast, revealing that monsoon-driven waves generate the highest longshore sediment transport and providing a process-based tool for coastal management and erosion risk assessment.
This study utilizes 1995–2024 ERA5 data to reveal that Sri Lanka's emerging heat waves are driven by tightly coupled ocean–atmosphere–land interactions, exhibiting distinct seasonal regimes—most intense during the First Inter-Monsoon and concentrated in the dry-zone leeward regions during the Southwest Monsoon—underpinned by large-scale subsidence, positive sea surface temperature anomalies, and land–atmosphere feedbacks.
This study investigates the formation mechanism and disaster-inducing thresholds of loessial soil surface collapses in Xining City, identifying collapsibility, groundwater dynamics, and vehicular loads as key factors while establishing a critical 27% moisture threshold for rapid disintegration and subsequent failure.
This study investigates the asymmetric evolution of overburden fractures and roof water hazards during the sequential mining of closely spaced coal seams at Hujia-ta Coal Mine, utilizing multi-method monitoring and simulation to identify spatial non-coincidence between cumulative damage and current loading, which informed a successful zoned drainage strategy that significantly reduced aquifer anomalies.
This paper introduces a novel spatio-temporal Hawkes process model that incorporates strain-rate-dependent triggering kernels to capture the self-exciting, clustered dynamics of ocean eddy formation, supported by a derived Volterra integral equation, an EM-based parameter estimation algorithm, and a two-stage simulation framework validated against high-frequency ocean flow data.
This study reveals that while soil moisture over South Asia exhibits significant persistence, it lacks independent predictive power for subsequent rainfall due to a seasonal reorganization of land-atmosphere interactions, thereby distinguishing between the storage, expression, and predictive reach of terrestrial climate memory.
