This study introduces a UV–Comfort Co-occurrence Index (IVCC) for Argentina's South Atlantic coast, demonstrating that thermal comfort, rather than UV irradiance alone, governs the timing and spatial distribution of human exposure opportunities, with late morning emerging as the critical window when high UV hazard coincides with thermally comfortable conditions.
This study demonstrates that in Andean coffee agroforestry systems, canopy-mediated rainfall interception significantly reduces soil water delivery and alters the composition of retained materials, indicating that lower absolute runoff in shaded systems reflects reduced rainfall input rather than superior surface water regulation.
This study demonstrates that chronic lead and cadmium contamination in the urban Laguna de las Ilusions lagoon is associated with significant, age-dependent alterations in biochemical biomarkers of wild *Crocodylus moreletii*, highlighting the species' utility as a sentinel for monitoring environmental stress in tropical urban wetlands.
This study demonstrates that combining optical and microphysical aerosol metrics, particularly a coarse-to-total volume ratio threshold greater than 0.70, significantly improves the reliable detection of Saharan dust events in the polluted urban environment of Athens, Greece, by effectively distinguishing natural dust from anthropogenic fine-mode aerosols.
This study presents the first regional reconstruction of subglacial topography in the Southern Andes, revealing that the region's retreating glaciers will leave behind over 3,900 potential future lakes capable of storing nearly 300 km³ of water, with significant implications for future freshwater resources and outburst flood hazards.
This mixed-methods study in Ethiopia's Ambessa Chaka Protected Area reveals that proximity to forest boundaries significantly intensifies human-wildlife conflict, causing substantial crop and livestock losses primarily from olive baboons and lions, while identifying education as a key driver of positive conservation attitudes and recommending species-specific deterrents, habitat restoration, and alternative livelihoods to mitigate these challenges.
This study reveals that viral lysis and attenuated microbial degradation synergistically drive the accumulation of recalcitrant dissolved organic carbon in eutrophic reservoirs, establishing these systems as significant emerging hotspots for global carbon sequestration.
This study utilizes Sentinel-2 satellite data and the Normalized Difference Chlorophyll Index to analyze the correlation between chlorophyll-a concentrations and the occurrence of the bioindicator species *Emerita brasiliensis* across four Rio de Janeiro beaches, aiming to advance coastal environmental management by understanding the species' behavior under varying trophic levels.
This study highlights the value of integrating Borana pastoralists' indigenous weather forecasting knowledge with formal scientific systems to enhance community-based early warning mechanisms and improve disaster risk reduction in southern Ethiopia.
This study re-examines hurricane wind decay using flight-level data and concludes that while the radial decay exponent (alpha) varies slightly with storm intensity, fixing it at 0.5 serves as a robust, population-level reference for estimating wind profiles across major and minimal hurricanes.
