This study demonstrates that noncompliant plumbing in two renovated Chinese hotels caused chronic sewer gas (H₂S) intrusion, resulting in hazard quotients that frequently exceeded regulatory thresholds for long-term staff exposure and highlighting the critical need for stricter code enforcement and mandatory post-installation inspections.
This study integrates particle tracking with groundwater budget and recovery analyses to demonstrate how evolving hydraulic gradients and regional conditions control long-term migration pathways, travel times, and receptor connectivity in recovering groundwater systems.
This study quantifies carbon stocks across vegetation and soil pools in the cold-temperate forests of northeastern China's Ergong River Basin, revealing that soil is the dominant carbon reservoir and that total ecosystem carbon is primarily driven by soil nutrient status, stand structure, and species dominance.
This study demonstrates that combining time-series surface deformation data from interferometric SAR with deep neural networks can effectively map the geological composition and grain size of aquifers, such as California's Central Valley, to better predict land subsidence and groundwater behavior in data-scarce regions.
Although the June 24, 2026 M7+ earthquake doublet on the Bocono and San Sebastian faults in Northern Venezuela successfully released nearly all accumulated interseismic strain, the partially locked El Ávila Fault beneath Caracas remains a significant seismic hazard despite a temporary stress delay.
By integrating vegetation model simulations with observational data, this study reveals that snow droughts generally enhance annual carbon uptake in energy-limited ecosystems while reducing it in water-limited ones, with these effects persisting regardless of subsequent spring and summer moisture conditions.
This study challenges the conventional reliance on ozone-potential temperature correlation to attribute layered atmospheric structures to gravity waves, demonstrating instead through backward trajectory analysis that such structures in the subtropical troposphere are primarily formed by the quasi-horizontal mixing of distinct tropical and subtropical air masses driven by the Hadley circulation.
This study investigates the vertical distribution and geochemical relationships of natural and anthropogenic radionuclides in the soil profiles of Uzbekistan's Gilan mountain region, revealing distinct depth-dependent patterns for cesium-137 and strong correlations between thorium-232 and potassium-40 that clarify migration processes and environmental controls in mountainous ecosystems.
This paper introduces the CELL framework to unify global heatwave research by tracking their spatiotemporal evolution and classifying them into three principal environmental regimes based on dominant thermodynamic and dynamical conditions during their mature stages.
By tracking functional transitions across 15 Chinese cities from 2012 to 2022 and projecting to 2035, this study reveals a dominant shift toward mixed-function states in urban fringes, highlighting the need for differentiated governance strategies that balance ecological protection with coordinated development to support sustainable urbanization and climate adaptation.
