This study assesses the morphodiversity of the Mixteca Alta UNESCO Global Geopark using slope, convexity, and roughness derived from a Digital Elevation Model to classify terrain into distinct conservation and development priority zones based on their geodiversity levels.
This study reveals that El Niño significantly amplifies subseasonal humid-heat risk across the tropics by preconditionsing the environment to be closer to critical thresholds, thereby enhancing the impact of Kelvin waves and the MJO and providing a multiscale framework for improved early warning systems.
This study evaluates the impact of toxic heavy metals from old mining waste in Tehuilotepec, Mexico, on local plant distribution and resident health, revealing widespread contamination exceeding regulatory limits, low vegetation diversity on the waste sites, and significant health risks primarily from arsenic exposure.
This study demonstrates that the ~400 kyr long eccentricity cycle globally modulates abyssal hill formation at mid-ocean ridges by driving periodic solar gravitational perturbations that trigger magma chamber eruptions, particularly at slow and ultraslow-spreading ridges.
This study demonstrates that ambient noise seismic interferometry can effectively monitor slope instability by detecting a rapid, spatially expanding drop in seismic velocity following the September 2022 flash flood in central Italy, which correlates with pore-pressure propagation and offers a promising proxy for forecasting hydro-geological hazards.
This article argues that climate mobility in Senegal must be understood through a multicausal and multiscalar lens, revealing how historical and contemporary adaptation strategies interact to shape diverse patterns of movement and immobility that can sometimes redistribute rather than reduce vulnerability.
This study demonstrates through numerical experiments that cooler sea surface temperatures in the South China Sea actively strengthen cross-equatorial northerly surges and associated rainfall patterns, confirming that these oceanic conditions are a driving factor rather than merely a response to East Asian cold surges.
This study integrates lithofacies and petrophysical analyses of wireline log data from the Nanya Field offshore Niger Delta to characterize the K Sand reservoir, revealing that Well 2-1 exhibits superior properties and identifying Zone III as the optimal target for development due to its favorable porosity, permeability, and low water saturation.
This paper integrates emergent constraints with a pattern-recognition methodology to reduce intermodel uncertainty in near-surface air temperature projections across INM RAS climate models, successfully narrowing historical warming patterns but failing to constrain the CO2-congruent signal projected for the late 21st century.
This study argues that Orthodox Christian communities in Dogu'a Tembien, Ethiopia, serve as vital custodians of geoheritage through their religious practices and sacred sites, suggesting that a culturally grounded geotourism approach integrating scientific and spiritual narratives is essential for sustainable conservation and community livelihoods.
