A 41-year satellite record reveals that since 2012, the Okavango Delta's flood pulse has undergone an abrupt, system-wide redistribution toward the northeast, driven by extreme climate variability and tectonic subsidence, which threatens the livelihoods of southwestern communities and may eventually isolate the delta from the Zambezi basin.
This paper proposes a decentralized techno-ecological framework of one million forest-based ecovillages integrating edge computing, optimized animal-source diets, and regenerative agriculture to achieve a net-negative global carbon drawdown of 22–27 GtCO2e yr-1 by 2037 while advancing all UN Sustainable Development Goals.
This study evaluates a WRF-based post-processing framework for estimating outdoor Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) in San Marcos, Texas, finding that while the Liljegren pathway generally offers the best full-day performance, the optimal configuration depends on the specific observational dataset, grid resolution, and whether the focus is on full-day averages or daily maximum heat stress.
This study reveals that the August 2026 Nepal rock–ice avalanche flood was preconditioned by an exceptional combination of extreme atmospheric heat and acute seasonal snow drought, highlighting a critical climatic pathway to mountain hazards that extends beyond traditional rainfall or geological triggers.
This study reveals that ammonoid measurement data in the Paleobiology Database are temporally biased, with Paleozoic and Triassic specimens being significantly over-represented while Jurassic and Cretaceous species, particularly heteromorphs, are severely under-sampled, necessitating caution in evolutionary analyses relying on these datasets.
This study employs a bibliometric analysis of 1,018 publications from 2005 to 2025 to map the rapidly growing research landscape of Indigenous Knowledge in disaster management, revealing its increasing integration into disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation while identifying key thematic clusters such as flood management and community resilience.
This pre-registered study analyzing earthquake catalogues from Japan, Chile, and Turkey found that while a "blue-dominance" rule (where magnitude compression at a lower threshold exceeds that at a higher threshold) successfully identified periods of significantly reduced large earthquake likelihood, none of the tested rules could reliably predict the approach of large earthquakes.
This systematic literature review evaluates the application of GPS-X software in modeling wastewater treatment plants, highlighting its effectiveness in optimizing pollutant removal, energy use, and costs while identifying the need for advanced calibration and AI integration to bridge the gap between simulated and actual performance.
This study utilizes a one-dimensional radiative convective equilibrium model to demonstrate that current uncertainties in shortwave water vapour continuum absorption models have a negligible impact on shortwave cloud radiative effects, regardless of vertical cloud structure.
This study employs a multi-scale analytical framework to demonstrate that the 2026 Nepal flood was not caused by a single factor like planetary energy imbalance or ENSO, but rather emerged from the complex interaction of long-term cryospheric warming, permafrost degradation, and short-term hydrometeorological triggers within a multi-hazard context.
