This study analyzes the late December 2023 Southern California swell, demonstrating how resonant infragravity waves amplified by local harbor geometry caused record-breaking wave heights, severe shoreline erosion, and significant infrastructure damage.
This study utilizes a decade of satellite and reanalysis data to demonstrate that rapid urbanization in Bhubaneswar has significantly altered local atmospheric thermodynamics, leading to increased surface temperatures, modified moisture profiles, and a general rise in atmospheric instability across seasonal cycles.
This study utilizes ultra-high-resolution UAV-based thermal imaging to demonstrate that desert geoglyphs in Peru exhibit significant thermal detectability during specific daytime periods, challenging the traditional assumption that nighttime surveys are invariably optimal and establishing a process-based framework for interpreting archaeological thermal signatures based on material properties and environmental dynamics.
Using a multi-region input–output analysis of Taiwan, Japan, and the United States, this study reveals that the embodied carbon and energy footprints of semiconductor supply chains are driven primarily by upstream production-network embedding rather than by the direct efficiency or electricity mix of the host manufacturing site.
This paper presents a dynamic earth observation-based framework for assessing relative disturbance in freshwater ecosystems across northern African and western Asian countries, revealing widespread declines in Ramsar sites and surface water extent alongside increasing landscape transformations to guide conservation priorities and restoration strategies in water-stressed regions.
This study utilizes panel quantile analysis on emerging markets from 2000 to 2023 to demonstrate that while natural resource consumption initially hinders renewable energy adoption, its long-term sustainable management combined with Industry 5.0 innovations significantly accelerates the transition toward clean energy.
This study evaluates the ability of satellite and reanalysis estimates (ERA5 and CHIRTS) to capture the intra-annual structure of localised temperature trends in Ghana by introducing novel diagnostic metrics (SS var and SPA), revealing significant biases in seasonal timing and warming intensity that necessitate trend-preserving bias correction before these datasets can be reliably used for climate adaptation planning in data-sparse tropical regions.
Through a textual analysis of 39 Nationally Determined Contributions and 65 city climate action plans, this study reveals that cross-level coordination between national and city actors remains limited, with Global South cities demonstrating higher rates of mutual inclusion in governance documents compared to their Global North counterparts.
In Chad's Ouadi Rime–Ouadi Achim Faunal Reserve, wildfire ignition is primarily driven by climate-fuel interactions involving prior-year vegetation productivity and seasonal weather, while strategically positioned firebreaks effectively limit post-ignition spread and intensity without preventing ignition itself.
This study employs Material Flow Analysis to quantify the lifecycle stocks and flows of Electrical and Electronic Equipment in London, revealing significant gaps in formal collection and reuse while demonstrating that targeted interventions in repair, remanufacturing, and collection could substantially advance circular economy goals.
