This study demonstrates that integrating Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) with borehole data effectively delineates heterogeneous groundwater aquifers in the Kaligandaki River terrace deposits of Western Nepal, validating ERT as a practical tool for sustainable water resource exploration in similar Himalayan alluvial environments.
This study analyzes borehole seismic noise beneath permafrost in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau during the winter-to-spring transition, revealing significant frequency-selective increases in noise power and spectral entropy driven by seasonal changes rather than thawing, which underscores the need to evaluate both absolute power and spectral distribution when characterizing station recording backgrounds.
This study challenges the prevailing view that droughts consistently reduce tropical forest carbon sinks by demonstrating that high-frequency equatorial atmospheric variability, including the MJO, Kelvin Waves, and ERW, significantly modulates carbon and energy fluxes in a Wallacean tropical forest, with responses to these synoptic processes being strongly dependent on background ENSO states and primarily driven by energy availability rather than soil moisture.
This study characterizes the Surface Urban Heat Island in Ibadan, Nigeria, using 2025 Landsat data to reveal a 5.04°C temperature intensity between the urban core and rural periphery, driven by a strong negative correlation between land surface temperature and vegetation, and identifies significant heat clustering over built-up areas to inform targeted urban planning and greening strategies.
This study reveals that while shortening the duration of climate overshoot limits Antarctica's additional sea-level contribution, the magnitude of this benefit is critically dependent on the speed of ocean temperature recovery, as prolonged high ocean forcing can significantly amplify sea-level rise even after atmospheric conditions improve.
This study utilizes reanalysis data, forecasts, and high-resolution radiosonde observations from the AR-LAMDA-S campaign to characterize the multiscale structure and spatiotemporal evolution of an intense atmospheric river that transported moisture from Patagonia to the Antarctic Peninsula on March 28–29, 2026, revealing significant vertical reorganization and shear variability within the moisture corridor.
Despite being essential for long-term climate goals, the study finds that novel carbon dioxide removal and geological storage will make only a minimal contribution to limiting peak warming by 2050 due to slow initial upscaling, meaning they cannot substitute for immediate and deep emissions reductions.
This study assesses probabilistic human health risks from potentially hazardous elements in urban park soils in Caldas, Colombia, identifying specific sites with elevated contamination levels and quantifying a significant probability of non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks for children to guide targeted environmental management.
This bibliometric and systematic review analyzes the evolution, applications, and emerging challenges of Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) estimation, highlighting a significant increase in recent research output, a shift toward methodological diversification and physically based approaches, and the growing need to incorporate future climate conditions and temporal changes into PMP assessments.
This study evaluates Nigeria's agricultural sector readiness for inclusive and high-integrity carbon markets, revealing a 55% overall readiness score driven by strong policy intent but hindered by critical operational gaps in finance, MRV systems, and institutional coordination that require targeted reforms to ensure equitable smallholder participation.
