This study presents the first comprehensive, high-resolution assessment of future tropical cyclone risks in Southern Africa, utilizing probability-based storylines to illustrate unprecedented scenarios like Category 5 landfalls and guide adaptation strategies for unprecedented events.
This study presents a zooarchaeological analysis of a rich large-rodent assemblage from Valdegoba Cave, demonstrating that while the accumulation resulted from a complex mix of natural and carnivore processes, the presence of cut marks on beavers and marmots provides rare evidence of Neanderthal exploitation of these medium-sized prey species during the late MIS 6 to early MIS 5 transition.
Using a high-resolution multi-model ensemble, this study projects that while extreme precipitation will generally decline across Northwest Africa under all global warming levels, the Moroccan Atlas Mountains will experience a unique two-stage response characterized by intensified rainfall at 1.5–2°C warming followed by drying at higher levels.
This study develops a Random Forest-based flood susceptibility map for Yola Metropolis, Nigeria, using terrain and land-use predictors with nested spatial cross-validation to identify elevation as the dominant factor and classify 92.24% of the area as low-to-moderate risk, providing a reproducible screening tool for disaster planning in data-constrained urban settings.
This systematic review and bibliometric analysis synthesizes 68 studies from 2004 to 2026 to demonstrate how integrating Synthetic Aperture Radar, multi-source remote sensing, and machine learning has advanced aboveground biomass and carbon stock estimation, while highlighting a critical research gap in applying these robust, scalable frameworks to heterogeneous urban tree environments.
This study utilizes Landsat satellite imagery and a novel Post-Fire Stability Index, derived from NBR and NBR2 spectral metrics, to detect wildfires and monitor vegetation recovery trajectories in the Sidi Bel Abbés region of northwestern Algeria between 2013 and 2020.
High-resolution dynamical model simulations project that under a high-emissions scenario, the United States will experience increased tornadic activity and inter-annual variability by midcentury, particularly in the Midwest during an earlier spring peak driven by rising convective available potential energy (CAPE).
This study reveals that subsidized housing sites within the Choice Neighborhoods Initiative exhibit significantly higher cumulative climate vulnerability than surrounding areas, driven primarily by socioeconomic disadvantage and chronic disease burdens rather than hazard exposure alone, underscoring the need for resilience strategies that integrate social and health improvements with physical mitigation.
This study addresses the challenge of integrating heterogeneous data to analyze how population pressure, land-use change, and climate anomalies impact water quality in Cox's Bazar refugee camps, resulting in the release of a harmonized, open-access database following FAIR principles.
This cross-sectional study of 620 households in rural Uganda reveals that while disaster exposure is substantial and pro-environmental attitudes are strong, actual preparedness and climate-smart water management practices remain low, with disaster-response training and early-warning awareness identified as key drivers for improving household readiness.
