A 2024 monitoring study of nine mussel farms in southern Brazil reveals that the invasive Mediterranean mussel *Mytilus galloprovincialis* has successfully established itself with year-round recruitment and higher densities than the native species, posing a significant threat to the region's aquaculture industry.
This paper presents two new 1-km resolution, satellite-derived irrigation water use datasets for Europe (IWU-SMinv v1.0 and v1.1) generated via a Soil-Moisture-Inversion approach, which demonstrate consistent spatial and temporal estimates suitable for supporting hydrological and agricultural applications despite some evaluation uncertainties.
This study reveals that while Himalayan lake-terminating glaciers exhibit a synchronous seasonal retreat driven by regional air temperatures, their highly variable interannual retreat is governed by localized, stochastic factors rather than regional climate or topography, necessitating non-linear modeling approaches to accurately forecast future water security and lake expansion risks.
This study conducted in East Khasi Hills, India, reveals that rural homegardens harbor significantly higher floristic diversity and ethnobotanical utility compared to their semi-urban and urban counterparts, while highlighting the pivotal role of women in preserving traditional knowledge within the region's matrilineal society.
This study validates the Modified Normalized Durbin-Watson (MNDW) fractal dimension as a robust and highly accurate alternative to the traditional normalized pore-radius method for characterizing pore-network heterogeneity and predicting reservoir quality in Permo-Triassic Khuff carbonate reservoirs, demonstrating that higher fractal dimensions correlate with improved pore connectivity and permeability.
AquaClim-Atlas India is a comprehensive, open-access geospatial database spanning 1990–2025 that integrates high-resolution aquaculture land-use transitions with climate exposure and socioeconomic data across 31,088 coastal villages to enable longitudinal analysis of climate adaptation and environmental stress in India's rapidly expanding aquaculture sector.
This study analyzes fishing vessel composition and underwater noise characteristics in the northern waters of Central Java from 2019 to 2024, revealing that while small-scale vessels dominate the fleet, both small and medium-to-large vessels generate significant low-frequency noise that poses ecological risks such as communication masking and physiological stress to marine life.
This study utilizes mineralogical and geochemical analyses of Mid-Cretaceous (111–101 Ma) trondhjemite-granodiorite intrusions in the northern Getic basement to demonstrate that their adakitic signatures resulted from the partial melting of hybrid lower crustal sources, triggered by mantle-derived underplating during the closure of the Severin Ocean.
This paper introduces Aquametrics Plus, a dedicated software tool designed to streamline the water accounting process by automating complex calculations and satellite image analysis, thereby significantly improving efficiency, accuracy, and precision in water resource management as demonstrated in a case study of the Zayandehrood basin.
This study demonstrates how seismotectonic collapse and subsequent carbonate cementation at Gruta da Companheira in southern Portugal buried and preserved a Paleolithic occupation sequence, suggesting that similar geological processes may have masked a richer and better-preserved regional archaeological record than is currently visible.
