By integrating satellite telemetry with three-dimensional oceanographic variables, this study reveals that sperm whales in the Azores exhibit strong site fidelity and foraging behavior driven by dynamic environmental factors, identifying the region as a critical, seasonally variable foraging hotspot requiring protection from anthropogenic threats.
This study optimizes acidified methanol extraction for archaeological lipid residue analysis by identifying that a 5% sulfuric acid concentration, a 1:5 solid-liquid ratio, and two extraction cycles maximize recovery efficiency, thereby establishing a robust and standardized protocol for analyzing real pottery samples.
This study assesses the distribution, anthropogenic sources, and ecological risks of eleven potentially toxic elements in the agricultural soils of southwest Punjab, India, revealing moderate contamination levels and higher cancer risks for children despite acceptable non-carcinogenic hazard indices.
This study integrates hydrochemical and isotopic analyses to develop a conceptual framework for Kythera Island, revealing that groundwater recharge is primarily driven by mountainous carbonate formations while nitrogen dynamics are dominated by soil organic nitrification with limited denitrification, offering insights for managing water resources in similar semi-arid Mediterranean islands.
This study utilizes multi-temporal Landsat imagery processed via Google Earth Engine and a CA-Markov model to analyze the rapid urban expansion of Tabriz, Iran, from 1972 to 2021 and project its continued growth and impact on agricultural lands through 2030.
This paper presents a probabilistic modeling framework that combines Bayesian hierarchical models and metadata feature engineering to curate, harmonize, and validate three decades of global citizen science water quality data, transforming noisy grassroots observations into actionable insights for environmental decision-making.
This study demonstrates that the 2017–2020 retreat of the Pine Island Ice Shelf created Piglet Glacier, a detached tributary whose rapid inland acceleration and intensified dynamic thinning reveal how ice shelf damage and shear-margin attrition can efficiently propagate stress to amplify mass loss and fragment the wider West Antarctic drainage system.
Using high-resolution modeling of household survey data, this study reveals that over 2 billion people in low- and middle-income countries rely on non-piped groundwater sources, a critical yet largely invisible component of global water security that is currently absent from major databases and vulnerability assessments.
This study analyzes 259 flowering plant species across six subtropical mountains in Jiangxi Province to reveal that flowering time patterns are driven by a complex interplay of elevation-dependent climate trends, habitat disturbance, and plant functional traits, with seed mass identified as the primary determinant of phenological shifts.
This study presents a GIS-based framework utilizing mobile tools and spatial databases to standardize environmental data collection at wetland surveillance sites, thereby enhancing One Health monitoring and epidemiological analysis of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI).
