This study demonstrates that subterranean estuaries in contrasting tropical and temperate coastal settings exhibit significant meter-scale alongshore heterogeneity in porewater salinity, challenging the reliability of single transect surveys and advocating for lateral pre-screening to accurately characterize submarine groundwater discharge.
This study presents the first standardized global assessment of freshwater diazotrophy across 206 sites, revealing that noncyanobacterial diazotrophs dominate these ecosystems and that water temperature is a primary regulator of both nitrogen fixation rates and community composition, with significant implications for nitrogen cycling under climate warming.
This study utilizes long-term, high-resolution district-level climate data and multidisciplinary risk analysis to reveal a shifting hazard landscape in Bihar, India—characterized by rising temperatures, increasing dry spells in the south, and intensified floods in the north—while highlighting the urgent need to overcome institutional fragmentation and adaptive capacity gaps to transition from reactive relief to proactive, climate-resilient policies.
This paper addresses the challenge of lost circulation in the Southern Dagang exploration area's complex volcanic and bioclastic limestone formations by developing and validating an integrated pre-drilling prediction framework that combines well log reconstruction, seismic inversion, and ant-tracking fracture characterization with a decision tree-based risk classification system to accurately identify high-risk intervals and optimize drilling operations.
This study assesses groundwater depletion in Lahore District, Pakistan, from 2000 to 2019 by integrating well data and GRACE satellite observations, revealing a significant annual decline of 0.92 meters and highlighting the effectiveness of satellite-based monitoring for guiding sustainable water management interventions.
This paper investigates the stability of underground reservoirs in coal mine goafs under fault influence by combining theoretical analysis, FLAC3D numerical simulation, and engineering verification to reveal that mining the footwall induces greater stress concentration and instability than the hanging wall, while demonstrating that bolt and anchor cable support effectively mitigates these risks by reducing plastic zone expansion and stress concentration.
This study employs Detrended Fluctuation Analysis, Detrended Cross-Correlation Analysis, and Complex Networks to characterize the multi-scale, long-range persistent inter-provincial climate connectivity across Indonesia's 38 provinces, identifying distinct regional hubs and connectivity patterns driven by monsoon circulation and organized convection to inform adaptation strategies and monitoring network optimization.
This study utilizes the GWP–UNICEF Strategic Framework to analyze how Syria's accelerating climate change, compounded by post-conflict infrastructure damage and institutional fragility, creates extreme risks to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) services, thereby outlining a comprehensive adaptation strategy for sustainable water resource planning in similar post-conflict regions.
This study developed and validated a simple process-based model to predict total inorganic nitrogen dynamics in Brazil's largest semiarid river-reservoir system, revealing that non-point sources dominate nutrient loads, high-flow conditions necessitate significant load reductions to meet regulatory limits, and stricter phosphorus control is critical due to its lower mobility compared to nitrogen.
This study demonstrates that integrating alkali-element geochemistry (specifically Cs–Rb and K enrichment indices) with short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectroscopy provides a robust, quantitative vectoring framework for delineating deep orogenic gold mineralization within the granitoid-hosted Pataz Batholith, Peru, by correlating gold enrichment with specific phyllosilicate assemblages and arsenic signatures.
