Using an Earth system model, this study reveals that even after achieving net-zero CO₂ emissions, abrupt deep convection in the Southern Ocean can release centuries of stored heat, causing a sudden global temperature rise that challenges the assumption that net-zero targets alone are sufficient for long-term climate stabilization.
This study reveals that while international trade in carbon dioxide removal (CDR) generally exacerbates the loss of global health co-benefits by increasing fossil fuel use and raising opportunity costs, it can yield net health gains in specific biomass-abundant regions by reducing air pollutant emissions from forgone biomass decarbonization.
This study characterizes Colombia's Paipa–Iza Geothermal System as a structurally controlled hybrid reservoir sustained by felsic intrusions and evaluates its development potential using a newly introduced Geothermal Maturity Index, which classifies the resource as low-maturity with high exploration potential while identifying key barriers such as the need for advanced geophysical characterization and exploratory drilling.
This study assesses the water quality and heavy metal contamination in the Otomona River, Indonesia, finding generally good physicochemical conditions and compliance with standards for most parameters, though copper levels in water and lead levels in fish tissues exceeded permissible limits, with spatial modeling indicating increased metal concentrations toward the estuary.
This study reveals that while Scots pine stands in western Belarus generally respond similarly to climate variables, those established on former agricultural lands—particularly through planting—exhibit greater climate sensitivity and lower resistance than those on former forest lands, though these differences diminish as the stands mature.
This study reconstructs Miocene sea surface temperatures on the NW Australian shelf, revealing that while reefs thrived at extreme temperatures up to 34°C under stable conditions, they ultimately collapsed around 6 Ma due to increased terrestrial input and subsidence rather than heat stress alone.
This study analyzes 60 interviews in Sub-Saharan Africa to reveal that Nature-based Solutions (NbS) function as a critical climate adaptation strategy not merely by influencing whether people migrate, but by reshaping community aspirations, capabilities, and environmental literacy through nine distinct mobility personas.
This study integrates over 70 years of hydroclimatic data with 40 years of land use records to reveal that while the Curuá-Una watershed in the eastern Amazon has experienced significant forest loss and declining rainfall, its streamflow regime has remained largely stable with increased minimum flows, offering critical insights for managing the region's first hydropower plant.
Despite significant area expansion over the past five decades, China's mangrove carbon stocks have recovered to only one-third of their 1973 levels due to a substantial multidecadal lag in biomass accumulation, highlighting the critical need to prioritize protecting mature stands over new planting.
This study highlights the emerging presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in Croatia's water systems through recent detections in the Sava River and Samobor tap water, while identifying critical regulatory and monitoring gaps regarding its environmental pathways, groundwater contamination in the Dinaric Karst, and agricultural impacts that necessitate expanded surveillance and updated risk assessments.
