This study analyzes 2022 census data from six major Tanzanian cities to reveal that an overwhelming 87.6% of buildings are exclusively residential, a trend that underscores a critical lack of mixed-use development which may hinder economic vitality and sustainable urban growth.
This study employs an extended storyline attribution framework to demonstrate that while both climate and population changes since 1975 have increased flood exposure from Tropical Cyclone Idai in Mozambique, population growth is the dominant driver, with climate change disproportionately affecting vulnerable socio-economic groups in ways that spatial aggregation can obscure.
This study integrates geotechnical, statistical, and GIS-based analyses to demonstrate that the Opi–Ugwuogo road gullies in southeastern Nigeria, characterized by loose sandy soils with low shear strength, are primarily driven by road-induced runoff and exhibit rapid expansion rates of up to 17.6 m/year, rendering the slopes critically unstable under saturated conditions.
By analyzing 5,610 studies across 750+ cities, this research shifts the climate discourse from a climate-first approach to one where climate mitigation and adaptation are framed as co-benefits of development-driven urban actions, revealing how varying local motivations, action types, and barriers shape global climate outcomes.
This study demonstrates that integrating eDNA metabarcoding into the National Estuarine Research Reserve System's monitoring program successfully expanded biodiversity characterization across US estuaries, despite facing operational challenges such as costs, detection uncertainties, and the need to balance standardization with evolving protocols.
This study demonstrates that metazoan parasite infracommunities of flounders in the southern Gulf of Mexico serve as effective bioindicators of environmental impact, with taxonomic and functional approaches revealing stronger statistical associations with pollutants in the high-oil-extraction Campeche Sound region compared to areas affected by natural seeps or runoff.
This study of 79 municipalities in Central Brazil reveals that extreme heat exposure is significantly associated with increased respiratory mortality, particularly in hot-dry areas characterized by high deforestation and socioeconomic vulnerability, highlighting the need for targeted climate-health adaptation strategies.
This study utilizes the FABIO database to translate the EAT-Lancet Planetary Health Diet into country-level protein benchmarks, revealing a global need to shift from animal to plant-based proteins to reduce emissions and land use while identifying key "Super Producer" and "Super Consumer" nations as critical leverage points for policy and retail strategies.
This study quantifies the significant COe emission reductions achievable through hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) integration in São Paulo's transport sector and demonstrates that an Enhanced Feedforward Neural Network outperforms traditional regression models in projecting these low-carbon pathways to 2050.
This study presents robust simulations indicating that under current warming trajectories, the Greenland Ice Sheet will shrink below its Holocene minimum size by 2300 CE, contributing 26–86 cm to sea-level rise, whereas substantial emissions reductions could limit this contribution to approximately 10 cm.
