This study analyzes survey data from 382 households in peri-urban informal settlements in the Philippines to demonstrate that climate-related household vulnerability is significantly driven by the exposure of service facilities, specific demographic compositions, autonomous adaptation efforts, and differentiated institutional linkages.
This study analyzes 1,093 traditional villages in Guizhou's karst highlands to demonstrate how a sequential framework of geomorphological constraints and four distinct historical institutional systems shapes diverse settlement patterns, offering a unified typology for understanding rural morphology in nonhomogeneous terrain.
An analysis of trip-level data from Ghana's artisanal marine fishery reveals that catch is driven more strongly by fishing capacity (crew size and gear) and environmental conditions than by trip duration, challenging the use of time-based effort metrics for stock assessment and management.
This paper presents a conditional multivariate diffusion model that effectively downscales low-resolution monthly seasonal forecasts into realistic, high-resolution weather snapshots, demonstrating significant potential for improving tropical cyclone risk assessment in the North Atlantic despite some limitations in capturing specific warm-core systems.
This study utilizes GIS and DEM analysis to characterize the slope morphology, aspect, and geomorphological evolution of the Abu Hadair Basin in Southern Iraq, classifying its terrain into youth, maturity, and aging zones to identify priority areas for erosion risk mitigation and land-use planning.
This study quantifies the underrepresentation of dryland wetlands in the global Ramsar network, analyzes how designation criteria vary across aridity zones, and proposes an evidence-to-action framework to guide the nomination and management of priority wetlands in Saudi Arabia.
Using X-ray micro-tomography and Lattice Boltzmann simulations on Mt Unzen dacite, this study demonstrates that while fracture number density primarily controls pore connectivity, fracture width is the dominant factor influencing permeability in lava domes, with both metrics being significantly modulated by the initial pore size distribution.
This study provides multi-dataset evidence that extreme precipitation frequency across Europe has increased over the past two decades, with short-duration events intensifying significantly faster than daily extremes due to a combination of moisture-driven and dynamical processes under global warming.
This study simulates 200-year forest dynamics in the Slovenian Alps to demonstrate that while climate change alters species composition, selection silvicultural management offers the most temporally stable long-term rockfall protection compared to shelterwood or no management, despite shelterwood providing the highest mean protection after two centuries.
This study presents a scalable, harmonized framework that reveals significant global disparities in pedestrian access to urban green spaces across over 11,000 cities, highlighting that accessibility is heavily influenced by age, walking speed, and spatial distribution rather than just green space quantity.
