Deglaciation creates contested socio-ecological frontiers in the European Alps

This study reveals that rapid glacier retreat in the European Alps is creating contested socio-ecological frontiers where emerging postglacial habitats increasingly overlap with existing infrastructure and protected areas, exposing a critical governance gap that necessitates anticipatory stewardship to manage competing interests within these newly exposed landscapes.

Identification of Hydrometeorological Evolution and Dominant Runoff Drivers in the Yiluo River Basin Based on CMIP6 Multi-Scenario Projections

This study utilizes a bias-corrected CMIP6-driven VIC hydrological model and Random Forest analysis to project that the Yiluo River Basin will experience significant warming and altered precipitation patterns from 2031 to 2060, leading to a substantial decrease in annual runoff and a shift in dominant runoff drivers that vary by emission scenario.

Influence of Geographical Location on the Temporal Dynamics of Reservoir Storage: A Case Study of Bogotá, Colombia

This study demonstrates that the geographical location of Bogotá's reservoirs dictates their rainfall regimes and necessitates tailored modeling approaches, where hybrid models combining Fourier series and ARIMA effectively capture the dynamics of the bimodal Northern Aggregate reservoirs while a conventional SARIMA model suits the unimodal Chuza reservoir, thereby providing water managers with robust tools to distinguish between model limitations and extraordinary climatic events like the 2024 El Niño crisis.

Global agricultural shocks from Atlantic overturning collapse

This study reveals that a collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) would trigger a 5.3% global decline in major crop production, disproportionately devastating Northern Hemisphere export hubs and potentially causing a 40% structural spike in global cereal prices due to severe trade network disruptions.

National Borders Impede Collaboration on Climate Adaptation, Yet Conducive Factors Exist: A New Framework and Network-Analytical Evidence

This study analyzes the Danish-German border region to demonstrate that while national borders hinder climate adaptation collaboration, the use of a common language and systemic incentives for cooperation significantly enhance cross-border ties, offering a new framework for understanding joint climate responses.

Probability Distributions and Return Periods of Extreme Rainfall Events in the Zagros Mountains: Karkheh Basin Floods

This study analyzes the statistical characteristics and return periods of extreme rainfall in Iran's Karkheh River Basin, revealing an increasing trend in maximum daily rainfall and estimating that the severe March 2019 floods at Poldokhtar and Nurabad stations had return periods ranging from 70 to 200 years based on Gumbel and Inverse Gamma distributions.
