This study evaluates thirteen construction waste recycling strategies in Myanmar through a stakeholder survey, identifying temporary bin organization, activity identification for recyclables, and policy enhancement as the most practical and effective approaches to improve waste management under local conditions.
Analyzing 25 years of global radiosonde data, this study reveals that low-level jets, which significantly influence turbulence and aviation safety, are experiencing a declining trend in both maximum wind speed and occurrence frequency since 2000.
This study demonstrates that a vertical flow constructed wetland enhanced with iron-carbon micro-electrolysis and external electrochemical intensification achieves optimal nutrient removal at a moderate current of 20 mA by balancing redox conditions and microbial diversity, whereas excessive current induces microbial stress and performance collapse.
This study utilizes 16 years of TRMM radar data and 2024 disdrometer observations to characterize the summer monsoon rainfall over the Lakshadweep Islands, revealing that the region is dominated by stratiform-like precipitation with bimodal cloud structures and microphysical properties, driven by specific atmospheric conditions including mid-tropospheric dry air intrusion.
This study demonstrates that calculating reference evapotranspiration (ET₀) using daily mean meteorological data from NASA POWER systematically overestimates irrigation water requirements compared to hourly-aggregated data, particularly during high-energy summer periods, due to the non-linear nature of the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith equation smoothing peak evaporative demands.
Using 2022 nationally representative data, this study reveals that while climate-livelihood shocks are widespread in Somalia, they disproportionately drive food insecurity and erosive coping among nomadic and livestock-owning households who largely lack formal support, highlighting the urgent need for integrated targeting strategies that move beyond simple shock counts to address protection gaps.
By analyzing a decade of official monitoring data from Peru's Mantaro River Basin, this study reveals that basin-wide averages mask significant seasonal and spatial variations in potentially toxic elements, identifying specific hydrochemical drivers and classifying over half of the irrigation stations as having poor water quality.
This study utilizes the MaxEnt model to predict that Sungrass (*Imperata cylindrica*) invasion in Bangladesh's Raghunandan Hills Reserved Forest will expand under future climate scenarios (2050–2090), driven primarily by soil nutrients and elevation, thereby highlighting the urgent need for targeted management strategies.
This paper calculates the water footprint of the ESPOL university campus to identify it as relatively high yet within normal ranges, and subsequently proposes targeted sustainability strategies—including awareness campaigns, smart irrigation, and water reuse—to reduce consumption in critical areas.
This paper assesses the detrimental health, environmental, gender, and economic impacts of traditional cooking practices in Ethiopia, highlighting the urgent need for policy interventions, financing, and capacity building to facilitate a transition to clean cooking solutions.
