This study utilizes a GIS-based framework integrating Landsat 8-derived thermal and vegetation indices with park accessibility buffer analyses to identify priority areas for new urban green spaces, offering a strategic decision-support tool for mitigating the Urban Heat Island effect in Chennai.
By integrating high-resolution physics-based models with building-level data for eastern North Carolina, this study reveals that while wind hazards affect the most homes, rare compound events involving wind and flooding drive disproportionate economic losses and expose a critical protection gap where the most vulnerable, uninsured households face the highest risk.
This study reveals that the rapid expansion of proglacial lakes across the Himalaya has driven a post-2021 decoupling of ice flow, causing acceleration in the ablation zones of 66% of studied lake-terminating glaciers that overcomes thinning-induced deceleration, thereby necessitating the integration of localized topographic and lake-driven factors into predictive models for water security and flood risk management.
Under +3 °C global warming, regional climate projections indicate that isolated drought clusters across southern and eastern Europe will near-certainly merge into a single, recurrent large-scale hotspot, while northern Europe faces increased local drought frequency and amplified extremes.
This paper extends a structural-state friction model to glacier basal motion, demonstrating that a formulation combining a fixed structural response shape with a hydrology- and bed-state-dependent characteristic speed outperforms existing baselines in predicting basal shear stress for the Argentiere Glacier using daily field data.
This study demonstrates that Sentinel-1 SBAS-InSAR analysis of open satellite data successfully detected pre-failure ground acceleration at the 2025 Njintout landslide in Cameroon approximately 4.5 months before the catastrophic event, despite the absence of ground-based monitoring equipment.
This study utilizes W5E5 reanalysis data to assess offshore wind resources in Pakistan and the Arabian Sea, identifying a high-potential southern hotspot with peak summer winds that supports the deployment of floating wind systems in deep waters to advance sustainable energy goals.
This study reveals that fungi played a multifaceted role in post-Cretaceous–Paleogene recovery by proliferating in response to pre-impact volcanic stress, driving ecological succession through distinct stages of decomposition and colonization, and potentially acting as both pathogens and mutualists during the transition to Paleocene vegetation.
This paper proposes a physics-regularized neural network framework that integrates sparse urban monitoring data with meteorological reanalysis and atmospheric transport physics to reconstruct spatially continuous PM2.5 emission-related fields in London, effectively constraining ill-posed inverse solutions to provide physically plausible diagnostic insights under data-scarce conditions.
A radiological risk assessment of the Halda River Estuary in Bangladesh using HPGe gamma-ray spectrometry found that naturally occurring radionuclide levels in sediment and water are below global averages and pose no current threat to biodiversity or human health, though future monitoring is recommended to anticipate potential increases from natural or anthropogenic sources.
