This study utilizes 2D magnetic modeling of aeromagnetic data to map basement depth and structural segmentation in the Lower Benue Trough, revealing depths up to 15 km and providing critical insights for assessing the region's mineral, hydrocarbon, and geothermal potential.
Based on a 22-year study of 864 trees in India's Western Ghats, this research reveals that tree flowering and fruiting are driven by distinct local climatic pathways (insolation and temperature) rather than rainfall, with their interannual variability jointly governed by the El Niño–Southern Oscillation and Indian Ocean Dipole, particularly during compound events.
This study documents new records of 11 diatom species for Brazil and four for the state of Paraná in the Lower Iguaçu River, highlighting significant gaps in the knowledge of diatom taxonomic diversity and geographic distribution even in previously studied watersheds.
This study presents a transparent, soft-coupled framework integrating climate-conditioned valuation, multiobjective optimization, and spatial simulation to demonstrate that while near-term climate pathways modestly refine ecological assessments, specific land-use planning strategies are the primary drivers of trade-offs between economic development and ecosystem protection in Changxing County, China.
This study elucidates how normal stress, water content, and shear rate collectively govern the residual shear strength of sliding-zone soil in shallow expansive-soil slopes by linking macroscopic strength variations to microscopic structural changes, revealing a non-monotonic rate dependence and a framework where stress builds contacts, water weakens them, and shear rate determines the structural pathway.
This study assesses wildfire management practices across diverse ownerships and ecoregions in the moist Pacific Northwest, revealing a gap between current actions and fire science recommendations driven by structural barriers and uncertainty, while highlighting the critical role of social strategies and specific policy reforms in addressing emerging wildfire risks in historically wet landscapes.
Using 15 years of observational data from Sapporo, this study evaluates the Snow Metamorphism and Albedo Process (SMAP) model to determine that new snow density, compression viscosity, and effective thermal conductivity are the primary sources of parameterization uncertainty affecting short-term snowfall, seasonal densification, and late-winter heat transfer, respectively, while water movement schemes have minimal impact under dry-snow conditions.
This study analyzes 111 peer-reviewed articles on climate change impacts on Brazilian biodiversity from 1945 to 2023, revealing significant spatial, taxonomic, and thematic biases that favor the Atlantic Forest and invertebrates while highlighting critical gaps in research for underrepresented biomes, aquatic systems, and specific taxa to inform future conservation policy.
Using one year of meteor radar data from a Brazilian equatorial station, this study demonstrates that ultrafast Kelvin waves significantly modulate the diurnal tide through nonlinear interactions, generating secondary waves that facilitate vertical coupling in the lower thermosphere.
This study utilizes ERA5 reanalysis data to demonstrate that low-level moisture convergence and vertical advection are critical dynamical and thermodynamical precursors driving extreme rainfall events in Telangana, offering vital insights to enhance disaster risk management and forecasting capabilities.
