The paper introduces GeoGraphFormer, a direction-aware Graph Transformer that incorporates GeoRelAttn and GeoBandWeighting to explicitly model orientation-dependent geological relationships, thereby significantly improving the accuracy of regional polymetallic mineral prospectivity mapping compared to existing graph-based models.
This paper establishes the first satellite-derived baseline for Egypt's newly designated Great Reef Protectorate in the Red Sea, integrating 54.0 km² of mapped shallow reef extent, a record-breaking 2024 thermal stress event reaching 23.4 °C-weeks, and a 483% increase in coastal built-up area since 1990, while confirming the region's persistently oligotrophic conditions.
This study utilizes geospatial technology and the Landscape Expansion Index to analyze the 2000–2026 urban expansion patterns of Kochi–Ernakulam, revealing that edge expansion is the dominant growth mode transforming natural landscapes and offering critical insights for sustainable coastal urban planning.
This study reveals that while low-emission scenarios primarily drive climate novelty through directional warming, high-emission scenarios cause a dramatic increase in unprecedented climates—rising from 1% to 62% globally by late century—driven largely by seasonal asymmetry and precipitation shifts, thereby exposing the limitations of current climate analogue frameworks and highlighting the urgent need for new paradigms to interpret future climate risks.
This study reveals that in permafrost regions of Northeast China, the net nitrogen mineralization rate in *Betula platyphylla* forests significantly increases with stand age despite stable soil inorganic nitrogen concentrations, a dynamic primarily driven by soil temperature, total nitrogen, and microbial biomass nitrogen.
This study demonstrates that the 2016 Mw7.8 Pedernales earthquake triggered a delayed, multi-burst seismic swarm in the northern Ecuadorian forearc through a combination of pore fluid diffusion and stress changes, while also highlighting how intermediate-sized megathrust events between 2015 and 2025 may have contributed to loading the region prone to the 1958 Mw7.7 earthquake.
This study introduces the Wetland-Based Urban Resilience Support Index (WURSI) to evaluate how coastal wetlands in Chilean metropolitan areas contribute to tsunami resilience, revealing that high urbanization and legal challenges limit their protective capacity while highlighting the critical role of civil society in governance and the urgent need for Nature-Based Solutions.
This study demonstrates that high-altitude airborne pollen data, collected via passive traps in Alpine Natura 2000 sites, serves as a cost-effective and scalable tool for tracking plant biodiversity and phenology by revealing distinct correlations between pollen types and vegetation across different spatial scales and growth forms.
This study demonstrates that precipitation data discrepancies, rather than warming-induced evaporative demand, are the primary driver of structural uncertainty and the dominant physical mechanism behind global drought trends, challenging warming-centric interpretations of drought attribution.
This study evaluates the impact of industrial effluents on the Meghadri Gedda surplus channel in Visakhapatnam, India, revealing extreme acidity and high pollutant levels at specific sites through physicochemical analysis, Water Quality Index assessment, and PCA-based spatial mapping.
