Using atmosphere-only general circulation model experiments, this study demonstrates that future Tibetan Plateau winter warming will systematically weaken the subtropical jet and shift the Pacific–North American (PNA) pattern toward more negative values, thereby increasing the frequency of negative PNA events over North America.
This study analyzes daily air mass data from 1985 to 2023 to demonstrate that specific synoptic air masses, particularly humid-warm and warm-front types, significantly influence Chesapeake Bay water conditions by drastically increasing the risk of extreme warm-water events and spikes in northward ocean volume transport, while also revealing notable sub-regional impacts on salinity, temperature, and sea surface height.
This study utilizes hydraulic fracturing data from boreholes TZK-1 and TZK-2 to characterize the in-situ stress field of the Tamusu argillaceous rock candidate area, revealing a predominantly horizontal stress regime with a NNE–NE maximum horizontal stress orientation that supports its suitability for China's high-level radioactive waste disposal.
This study demonstrates that *Juniperus deppeana* (cedar) exhibits significant tolerance to heavy metals like Zn, Mn, and Pb found in Taxco mining tailings, showing specific tissue accumulation patterns and cellular adaptations that support its potential use for reforesting contaminated sites.
This study utilizes a multi-proxy sediment analysis of Lake Patalahti to demonstrate that the 1984 establishment of the Himos ski resort triggered significant environmental degradation in the adjacent boreal lake, characterized by increased erosion-driven nutrient fluxes, geochemical shifts, and progressive bottom-water hypoxia.
This study reveals that the strengthening of BSISO-related rainfall extremes over India in recent decades is primarily driven by an increased frequency of active BSISO phases, where enhanced atmospheric circulation interacts with background moisture and static stability to amplify extreme precipitation.
This study demonstrates that neglecting air-sea coupling in event attribution models leads to an overestimation of the human contribution to the 2015 equatorial Asia drought, as atmosphere-only simulations fail to capture critical sea surface temperature feedbacks that reduce the calculated fraction of attributable risk.
This study evaluates the declining population and indigenous management practices of the endangered *Hagenia abyssinica* (Kosso) among smallholder farmers in the Gamo Highlands of Southern Ethiopia, revealing its dominance in homegardens and mature age structure while urging coordinated conservation efforts to address its threatened status.
This documentary–geospatial study argues that Ghana's 2026 Cabinet decision to revoke E.I. 144 regarding the Achimota Forest Reserve constitutes a policy shift rather than guaranteed ecological restoration, emphasizing that genuine protection requires five critical transitions—legal completion, spatial restitution, institutional coordination, ecological rehabilitation, and public accountability—to address historical path dependence and convert the decision into durable conservation.
This paper demonstrates that assigning municipal landfill methane responsibility based on actual waste routing and facility-specific data, rather than default accounting conventions, reveals significant discrepancies in emission estimates and jurisdictional rankings, highlighting the critical need for explicit scope and provenance in greenhouse gas inventories.
