This study evaluates three blasthole drill cuttings sampling methods in a Uruguayan limestone quarry, finding that while the radial sampler offers the highest analytical accuracy against a full cone control, the single-insertion cylindrical tube provides the best balance of operational viability for continuous cement production.
This study evaluates the heavy metal pollution status of Nworie River in Southeastern Nigeria, finding that while most metals are within WHO standards, elevated levels of lead and iron due to dredging activities, combined with high ecological risk factors for mercury, indicate significant adverse pollution requiring immediate monitoring and waste management interventions.
This study reveals that Nile tilapia from Sri Lanka's Deduru Oya Reservoir are heavily contaminated with microplastics, predominantly polyethylene fibers, which were found in nearly 83% of sampled fish and pose significant ecological and food safety risks.
This study utilizes an Iterative Observation Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IO-DInSAR) approach combined with multi-sensor geospatial data to reconstruct the temporal evolution of pre- and post-seismic vertical deformation and landslide activity triggered by the 2022 Mw 6.1 Pasaman earthquake in Indonesia, demonstrating the method's effectiveness for monitoring cascading seismic hazards in tectonically active regions.
This paper proposes an integrated Blue Economy Accounting framework that combines Blue Accounting, Underwater Domain Awareness, and Modelling and Simulation-based Marine Spatial Planning to enable evidence-based, sustainable, and climate-resilient ocean governance in tropical countries.
This study analyzes eighteen years of historical data and future climate projections to demonstrate that rising temperatures, declining rainfall, and shortened growing periods in eastern Ethiopia are driving a steady decline in Arabica coffee yields, necessitating urgent adaptation strategies such as developing heat-resistant varieties and implementing soil conservation measures to safeguard livelihoods and export potential.
This study utilizes a customizable Python tool to analyze NOAA NCEI data from 1996 to 2024, revealing that multi-hazard events and their associated human and economic losses in the contiguous US predominantly occur during spring and summer, with significant spatial hotspots in the Southwest, Central US, and coastal regions, while highlighting the sensitivity of multi-hazard definitions to the chosen temporal window.
This study analyzes Somalia's 1990–2022 data using an ARDL approach to find that the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis does not hold, while highlighting renewable energy consumption and environmentally responsible foreign direct investment as key drivers for reducing CO₂ emissions.
Through sixteen flume experiments, this study establishes empirical correlations between landslide dam breaching parameters and vibration signal characteristics, demonstrating that factors like material gradation, inflow discharge, and dam geometry significantly influence both breaching dynamics and recorded vibration energy to support future signal-based monitoring.
This study models red panda habitat in eastern Nepal under climate change scenarios, revealing a projected 2–5% decline in suitable area with a slight northeast and upslope shift, while landscape fragmentation remains relatively stable, underscoring the need for conservation strategies that prioritize maintaining forest connectivity.
