This study integrates SWAT and RUSLE models within a GIS framework to quantify soil erosion and sediment yield in India's Hasdeo River Catchment, enabling the prioritization of critical sub-watersheds and the development of targeted Best Management Practices to mitigate land degradation in mining-affected agricultural areas.
Based on 20 years of fyke net monitoring in Massachusetts coastal rivers, this study reveals that diadromous rainbow smelt populations are experiencing rapid declines and earlier spawning migrations, likely driven by warming marine waters, which underscores the urgent need for targeted resource management to protect these stressed stocks.
Based on field observations in the Oita River estuary, this study reveals that small microplastics (<1 mm) dominate the total microplastic load, exhibit persistent bottom accumulation with a distinct halocline-trapping mechanism, and undergo net seaward export driven by tidal resuspension and ebb currents.
This study identifies four distinct mangrove habitat groups in Lembar Bay, Indonesia, and determines that salinity levels and the sand fraction of sediment are the primary environmental factors driving these community groupings, highlighting their critical importance for mangrove conservation and rehabilitation efforts.
Using salinity and oxygen-isotope data from Hudson and James Bays, this study reveals that river water, rather than sea-ice melt, is the primary driver of seasonal stratification in Arctic marginal seas, implying that increased river discharge under climate change could further limit deep-water renewal and impact broader Arctic biogeochemical and ecological systems.
This paper challenges the classification of the Maksyutov complex as a classic ultrahigh-pressure terrane by proposing a new tectonic-petrological model where diamond and coesite were emplaced by a mantle plume rather than formed in situ, supported by new geochemical data and the "Subduction Initiation Rule."
This paper proposes a robust, parameter-free metric based on the 1-Wasserstein distance to quantify the relative magnitude of internal variability in large-ensemble climate data, demonstrating its superior stability and clarity compared to existing methods across various distribution shapes and forcing scenarios.
This study reveals that the ENSO-independent component of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) robustly weakens under global warming due to a reduced land–sea temperature gradient, while uncertainty in ENSO-driven changes leads to divergent model projections for total NAO variability.
This study utilizes high-resolution global mapping to demonstrate that while zero-deforestation commitments have significantly reduced the rate of oil palm-driven forest loss since 2015, they have not completely eliminated deforestation, which remains concentrated in Southeast Asia and is primarily driven by industrial plantations.
This study demonstrates that both Duckweed and Vetiver macrophytes achieve comparable greywater treatment performance in Free Water Surface constructed wetlands regardless of species, with seasonal variation significantly influencing only biochemical oxygen demand removal.
