However, precise dating of sediments has often proved difficult, due to poor preservation and endemism among microfossils and the discontinuous nature of many records. One important Norwegian Sea Site, Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 643, is of particular interest, because of its location and long stratigraphic reach. Previously published magneto- and biostratigraphic age models diverge by ~1 Myr in the lower and middle Miocene, insufficient for global correlations. Here we present new palynological, notably dinoflagellate cyst (dinocyst) data from the lower and middle Miocene of ODP Site 643 and integrate these with existing palynostratigraphies of ODP Site 643. Additionally, we perform 40Ar/39Ar dating on selected tephra layers. We use these, combined with other microfossil bioevents, to reinterpret the existing magnetostratigraphy and construct a revised Oligocene to Recent biomagnetostratigraphic age model for this Site. We confirm the occurrence of three early and middle Miocene hiatuses and one early Pleistocene hiatus and refine their duration. Our age model further indicates a substantially older age for lower and middle Miocene sediments than previous dating has suggested. Finally, we combine our new age model with the integrated palynostratigraphy to provide updated ages of dinocyst bioevents and zone boundaries, which are at least applicable to the Norwegian Sea.", "license": { "name": "CC-By Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-NC-ND 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Achieving a balance between agricultural productivity and sustainable groundwater use requires decision-support tools that are both practical and robust. This study develops an accessible farm-level hydro-economic model that integrates groundwater dynamics with economic outcomes to evaluate irrigation strategies under regulatory and physical constraints. The model estimates land value over time while incorporating uncertain precipitation, irrigation practices, and regulatory limits. This research presents a novel application of Conditional Value-at-Risk to assess economic risk of groundwater irrigation by focusing on the tail of the probability curve, emphasizing potential extreme adverse outcomes rather than average performance. Applied to a representative High Plains Aquifer site, the model shows that more pumping does not guarantee greater profitability, as diminishing returns and aquifer depletion can undermine long-term benefits. Instead, irrigation strategies aligned with site-specific aquifer properties and regulatory thresholds improve both economic performance and sustainability. This scalable approach provides a practical framework to inform irrigation policy, support farmer decision-making, and promote sustainable groundwater under growing uncertainty.", "license": { "name": "CC-BY Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Public License\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

In this study, we present an event-based framework for estimating annual methane emissions from upstream O&G facilities. The framework applies the Emission Event Data Model (EEDM) to spatiotemporally aggregate multi-scale emissions data into discrete events using the concept of Allen’s interval algebra and spatial proximity. Following the creation of events, emissions are categorized into three groups: resolved (with a known emission rate and duration), partially resolved (with a known emission rate but an unknown duration), and unresolved (with an unknown emission rate and duration) to facilitate various management and emissions estimation approaches. To estimate emissions and its associated uncertainties using events, we developed three Monte Carlo-based approaches, which are (1) estimating durations for partially resolved events using null detections and leak generation and natural repair processes; (2) estimating emissions from unresolved events based on the minimum detection limit of deployed technologies; and (3) estimating emissions from unresolved events using probabilistic occurrence and best-fit rate and duration distributions. This framework enables emissions to be reported and verified at a uniform scale rather than at the individual observation scale. To demonstrate the estimation of emissions using this framework, we created two case studies. In both studies, we performed emissions estimation using emission observations synthesized from real emissions data from an upstream O&G site.

Google Earth Engine (GEE) was used to map periodic changes in geomorphology, land use, and mangrove boundaries, providing insights into their interactions. GEE's cloud-based platform enabled efficient analysis of large satellite datasets for monitoring mangrove dynamics. Mangrove area and density changes were monitored using aerial photographs (1957, 1966) and satellite imagery from Landsat (1998, 2001) and IRS-Liss III (2006). From 1957 to 2006, mangrove forests expanded from 24,601 to 53,671 hectares, despite fluctuations due to natural and human influences. Most growth occurred between 1966 and 1998, with the Bahu estuary showing higher expansion and dynamic changes compared to the Goiter.

A high-quality 45 km2 3D seismic dataset was recorded in 2017, centered along the Seal Beach Anticline, providing direct confirmation of a much more complex system of previously unrecognized thrust faults and cross faults encompassing the east flank of Wilmington Anticline, Seal Beach Anticline, and Los Alamitos Anticline, extending onshore at least 6 miles into the Los Angeles Basin. Additionally, more than 1200 micro-earthquakes recorded by a dense seismic network during 2017 have been located several miles to either side of the NIFZ and correlate with the newly identified thrust sheets and areas of recent deformation, indicating the faults are active. Based on this new fault model, energy propagation from the 1933 Earthquake appears to have transitioned from essentially pure horizontal strike-slip displacement along the NIFZ at its southern epicenter to high vertical-component transpressional displacement upon encountering the Garden Grove Fault – Coastal Fault thrust salient at the southern end of Seal Beach Anticline near Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station.", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

This technology is an extension version of the patented technology on oil sands tailings water treatment (Canadian Patent 2,952,680). The nature-based entrapped cells submerged reactor is proposed as a sustainable on-site treatment option to manage surface water quality. The process consists of selection and entrapment of suitable bacterial communities found in the natural environment. The submerged reactor containing entrapped naturally occurring bacterial communities is used for improving on-site water quality under aerobic conditions. This nature-based and decentralized microbial technology provides practical solutions like on-site wastewater treatment for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal.</p>", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

The anomalous low in 2023 suggested a new reduced sea-ice state, with unknown impacts on phytoplankton blooms, including phenology and magnitude. Analysing both Biogeochemical (BGC) and Core Argo floats, we compare annual sea ice extent (SIE) anomalies and sea ice volume (SIV) to physical and biological variables. We focus on average winter and summer variability over the circumpolar Southern Ocean and 5 subregions, and over 5°x2° longitude and latitude bins. Over the seasonal ice zone, anomalously low SIE leads to warmer and saltier surface waters, deeper mixing layers and thermocline depths, and weaker upper ocean stratification due to weaker vertical salinity gradients. These trends were generally strongest in the Indian sector and the eastern part of the Atlantic, and weakest in the Pacific and Weddell Sea. Low SIE years typically had shorter phytoplankton blooms with less average summer biomass than high SIE years. However, the anomalously low SIE in 2023 led to long blooms with large total biomass, amongst large spatial variability in bloom metrics. These results were sensitive to float spatial distributions and density of sampling, highlighting the need for a persistent and widespread BGC-Argo network in the Southern Ocean so that we may adequately monitor change in this critical environment.", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

We review input data and models that underlie short-term forecasts during an eruption crisis, software and tools applied, how forecasts are framed, ways to integrate data during a crisis, and several case studies of forecasting in action. The workflow during a crisis can be simplified by precalculation of possible hazard impacts using long-term forecasting techniques. Short-term forecasts should be evaluated after a crisis in order to improve methodology and utility of forecast information. As data availability increases, computational tools are developed, unrest patterns are identified, and underlying processes better understood, there will continue to be improvements in volcanic crisis forecasting and decision support tools.", "license": { "name": "CC-By Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-NC-ND 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Prior research has provided a criterion for assessing the vulnerability of ice shelf to hydrofracture. We apply these calculations to the model ensemble results from the Ice Sheet Modeling Intercomparison Project for CMIP6 (ISMIP6). With these ensemble results, we evaluate the predicted shelf vulnerability through time with forcings from several climate scenarios, climate models, basal melt parametrizations, and a range of fracture toughness values. Additionally, for the ISMIP6 experiments that included a collapse forcing (based on surface melt availability alone), we evaluate whether the ice subjected to the collapse forcing was vulnerable. We find that shelf vulnerability generally decreases through 2100 as ice thickness decreases, indicating a potential negative feedback. Differences in initial vulnerability between models as well as sensitivity to fracture toughness, however, tend to outweigh the change from stress evolution. For the shelves where collapse was imposed in the corresponding ISMIP6 experiment (Larsen C, George VI, Wilkins), between 20% and 70% of collapsed shelf area was vulnerable depending on fracture toughness.", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Here, we used a process-based crop model, AquaCrop, to assess the effectiveness of different irrigation management strategies during a synthetic multi-year drought. We focused on the Groundwater Management District 4 Local Enhanced Management Area (GMD-4 LEMA), a regional groundwater conservation program in the northwestern Kansas portion of the High Plains Aquifer. We first calibrated corn and sorghum AquaCrop models to simulate yield and irrigation using the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm, and then applied a novel difference-based bias correction method to improve performance. We found that the corn models outperformed the sorghum models, likely due to limited observational sorghum data. However, both models performed satisfactorily during drought periods. We then evaluated the effectiveness of the groundwater conservation program in reducing water use during a synthetic five-year drought under three irrigation strategies. During the synthetic drought, corn irrigation requirements were roughly double those of sorghum. However, even simulated corn irrigation needs were generally less than current water allocations, supporting past work that suggests the current GMD-4 LEMA water allocations are ineffective for conserving water. Model simulations also indicated that water conservation strategies could reduce annual irrigation requirements without a substantial reduction in crop yield through improved water use efficiency, suggesting that lower allocations would be a feasible approach to reduce irrigation and slow groundwater decline rates. </p>", "license": { "name": "CC-By Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-NC-ND 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

However, we urgently need to understand the potential environmental impacts, particularly greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with these constellations. This study addresses a critical gap in modeling current and future GHG emissions by developing a comprehensive open-source life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology, applied to 10 launch vehicles and 15 megaconstellations. Our analysis reveals that the production of launch vehicles and propellant combustion during launch events contribute most significantly to overall GHG emissions, accounting for 72.6% of life cycle emissions. Among the rockets analyzed, reusable vehicles like Falcon-9 and Starship demonstrate 95.4% lower production emissions compared to non-reusable alternatives, highlighting the environmental benefits of reusability in space technology. The findings underscore the importance of launch vehicle and satellite design choices to minimize potential environmental impacts. The Open-source Rocket and Constellation Lifecycle Emissions (ORACLE) repository is freely available and aims to facilitate further research in this field. This study provides a critical baseline for policymakers and industry stakeholders to develop strategies for reducing the carbon footprint of the space industry, especially satellite megaconstellations.", "license": { "name": "CC-BY Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-NC-SA 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

The probability of such a correlation happening by chance is close to zero. Moreover, this has likely been the dominant climate driver for the last 2000 years. A Granger causality test shows Pole Shift drives temperature the latter having up to a two-year lag (Figure1). Two new climate models with and without CO₂ are developed and tested. Both models successfully predict modern warming, the Medieval Warm Period (MWP), and the Roman Warm Period (RWP) in time (figures 3+4). The model excluding CO₂ (figure 4) predicts past warming with stronger amplitude. This model also predicts the Little Ice Age ( LIA) with a seamless transition into the Modern Warm Period using the real data sets (figure 5). As Pole swings Northwards, interacting region shifts to higher ionospheric altitudes and combined particle precipitation changes (EEP) reduce albedo, hence increase forcing (figure 2) by virtue of their changes to the world’s clouds, provide calculated values in the region of 81% of recent warming, with the rest (15%) mainly of solar origin. CO₂ at most could contribute 3.9% of all warming. The detail disclosed above represents a profound and crucial discovery for climate science and its future direction. We need no longer try to mitigate so much for CO2, but we will desperately have to understand our geomagnetic climate and possibly how anthropogenic factors such as ELF radio transmitters and power systems and aviation aerosol may also change EEP. Preliminary investigations indicate that because South dip-pole is not antipodal and moves at different rates and in different directions this accounts for different rates of Antarctic warming and Southern Hemisphere Cloud behaviour also.</p>", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Recurrent fires put its biodiversity at risk, highlighting the need for urgent measures to protect this fragile ecosystem. This study analyzed four decades of fire behavior in the Caatinga biome (1985-2023) using data from the MapBiomas Fire project and spatial analysis, revealing a worrying dynamic of fires that affected approximately 10.9 million hectares (12.74% of the biome). The results showed an increasing trend in the frequency and intensity of fires, with critical peaks between August and November, particularly in October where historical maximums were reached in the period 2020-2023 (60.34%). Spatial distribution showed significant concentrations in the western and southern regions of the biome, especially in the states of Bahia and Piauí, mainly linked to human activities. The temporal analysis revealed a progressive accumulation of burned areas, with a notable increase towards the end of the period studied. The recurrence of fires presented a heterogeneous distribution, with up to 39 events at the same point in critical areas, affecting mainly forest formations and herbaceous-bush vegetation. The research underlines the vulnerability of the Caatinga ecosystem to these recurrent events, highlighting the urgent need to implement land management and fire management measures, including continuous monitoring programs and regional adaptive strategies that combine agricultural productivity with ecosystem conservation. This study contributes to the understanding of fire dynamics in tropical semiarid biomes, providing crucial information for decision-making in conservation and sustainable management policies.", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Both phenomena influence the air-sea CO2 flux (FCO2) at the air-sea interface. This study uses inversion and reanalysis data, along with FCO2 diagnostic methods, to assess their impact on FCO2 in the South China Sea from 2003 to 2019. The results show that MHWs enhance CO2 release (+0.016 mmol/m²/d), whereas MCWs reduce it (-0.14 mmol/m²/d). The variation in FCO2 is primarily controlled by the sea-air partial pressure difference (∆pCO2) during both MHWs and MCWs, with the surface seawater CO2 partial pressure (pCO2sea) being the main factor influencing ∆pCO2. Specifically, MHWs increase pCO2sea, thus increasing ∆pCO2, while MCWs decrease pCO2sea, lowering ∆pCO2. Additionally, temperature factors were the primary drivers of changes in pCO2sea during both MHWs and MCWs, with their impact gradually intensifying over time.

These findings highlight the critical role of synthetic GHGs in climate dynamics and provide insights into radiative forcing in arid regions, enhancing climate model accuracy for desert environments and contribute to the general assessment of the impact of increasing CO₂ concentrations in our atmosphere.

Based on observational and reanalysis data from 1990 to 2019, this study investigates the global-scale responses of air-sea CO2 fluxes (FCO2) to MHWs and MCWs. Results reveal that MHWs and MCWs exert opposing influences on FCO2, with the magnitude of MCW-induced changes approximately three times greater than those associated with MHWs. These responses exhibit pronounced spatial heterogeneity. Notably, the North Pacific subpolar region, Arabian Sea, equatorial central Pacific, and Southern Ocean subpolar region display patterns that deviate from global tendencies. Among them, the equatorial central Pacific emerges as a key driver of interannual variability in both global FCO2 and surface ocean partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2sea). In the Arabian Sea, FCO2 variability is primarily modulated by wind speed, whereas in the other three regions, pCO2sea plays a dominant role. While temperature variations largely control pCO2sea in most areas, non-thermal processes dominate in the four anomalous regions. In particular, freshwater fluxes from precipitation and evaporation, together with equatorial upwelling, are identified as critical regulators of FCO2 in the equatorial central Pacific. These findings advance our understanding of how extreme thermal events shape the ocean carbon sink and provide a scientific basis for improved carbon cycle assessments under ongoing climate change.", "license": { "name": "CC-By Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-NC-ND 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

This study investigates the radiometric behavior of KaRIn under rain conditions, focusing on the characterization, correction, and physical interpretation of the normalized radar backscatter coefficient (sigma0). A three-regime decibel conversion scheme was implemented to handle linear sigma0 values, including negative returns, and a parametric angular correction model was applied based on wind-dependent polynomial fits. Cross-validation against KaPR (GPM) and AltiKa revealed consistent angular trends and wind dependencies, with systematic biases of +2.3 dB and +3.3 dB, respectively, over wind speeds ranging from 3 to 13 m/s, which account for over 85% of oceanic conditions globally. Two rainfall retrieval methods were developed from KaRIn sigma0: a physically-based attenuation inversion using the ITU-R gamma–R relation, and a supervised random forest (RF) classifier trained with collocated NEXRAD ground radar measurements. The RF model achieved an overall accuracy of 89.2%, with a detection probability of 82.5% for rain rates above 5 mm/hr, compared to 72.4% for the ITU approach. Global analysis confirms that rain rates exceeding 5 mm/hr or an attenuation of 10 dB result in significant degradation of KaRIn sea surface height (SSH) retrievals. Above this threshold, more than 95% of SSH observations are rejected by Level-3 editing filters, validating the statistical relevance of the rain flag criterion. Beyond SWOT, this study provides a methodological foundation for Ka-band altimetry in upcoming missions. The Sentinel-3 Next Generation (S3-NG) mission will benefit from these rain detection algorithms during post-launch calibration and data quality control. Similarly, the ODYSEA mission—a CNES–NASA Doppler scatterometer designed to resolve fine-scale vector winds and surface currents—will rely on accurate rain filtering to isolate geophysical signals. The statistical characterization of Ka-band attenuation and the rain retrieval strategies presented here are key to enabling reliable Ka-band remote sensing in dynamic meteorological environments.</p>", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

We use ICESat-2 altimetry and airborne ice-penetrating radar to constrain the effective Young’s modulus E* of ice in the flexure zone at three sites on the Ross Ice Shelf. By modeling ice as an elastic beam of variable thickness, we infer a single effective elastic parameter, E*, that encapsulates the combined flexural response of the ice-bed-ocean system. Our results show considerable spatial variability in E*, with values ranging from ~1–9 GPa across sites, and an average of 3.6 ± 2.5 GPa. This variability reflects intersecting basal, oceanographic, and mechanical processes in the grounding zone, including bed stiffness, subglacial hydrology, and viscoelasticity of ice. Because flexure of bed and ice cannot readily be distinguished in observations, we argue for a bulk interpretation of E* that allows uncertainty to be quantified in terms of a single parameter.

This study integrates Geographic Information Systems (GIS),\nRemote Sensing (RS), and multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods to evaluate flood\nvulnerability across four Iowa sub-basins: Middle Cedar, Lower Cedar, Middle Iowa, and Lower\nIowa. Three approaches—Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Fuzzy AHP (FAHP), and Equal\nWeighting (EW)—were applied to compare the influence of geophysical and socioeconomic\nfactors. Key parameters included elevation, slope, land use/land cover (LULC), soil type,\nprecipitation, river proximity, and low-income households. High-resolution (30-meter) datasets\nfrom SRTM DEM, Landsat-8, and TRMM precipitation sources were processed to develop\ncomposite flood susceptibility indices within a GIS framework. Results reveal significant spatial\nvariability, with high-risk zones concentrated in low-lying areas near major rivers and socioeconomically vulnerable urban regions. The Middle Cedar sub-basin exhibited the highest\nsusceptibility, while Lower Cedar and Middle Iowa showed lower risk levels. FAHP demonstrated\ngreater sensitivity in capturing risk variations compared to AHP and EW models. The findings\nunderscore the importance of integrating physical and socioeconomic factors into flood\nassessments. They also highlight the need for targeted interventions, such as enhancing drainage\ninfrastructure, equitable resource distribution, and supporting vulnerable populations.

By analysing the distribution and properties of three megastructures - the Mariana Trench, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and the Amazon Basin - it is demonstrated that their formation may be linked to large-scale cosmic impacts and the seismic wave interference occurring within Earth's volume. The methodology included analysis of satellite data (GEBCO, GRACE, GPlates), global-scale seismic wave modelling, and comparisons with analogous phenomena on Mars, Mercury, and the Moon. The results indicate geometric, physical, and geophysical consistency between the Mariana Trench, Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and Amazon Basin as consequences of planetary lithospheric rearrangement induced by cosmic impacts. The hypothesis has been formulated in a way that allows empirical falsification and validation. Its confirmation would open new research directions in Earth and planetary sciences, leading to a shift in the current geodynamic paradigm.

Air-sea flux estimates from observation-based data products used in the Global Carbon Budget show a large spread, and suggest a stronger carbon sink than global ocean biogeochemistry models (GOBMs) in the last decade. Output from GOBMs and Earth system models (ESMs) can be used as ‘testbeds’ to better understand current estimates of ocean carbon uptake in time and space through sub-sampling experiments. Recent testbed studies show improvement in reconstruction skill with increasing observational coverage, but the direction (over- vs. underestimation) and magnitude of bias for ocean carbon uptake vary significantly. Here, we use a collection of CMIP6 ESMs as a testbed to better understand the causes of the spread of sink estimates in observation-based products. Specifically, we assess how the choice of hyperparameters for the machine learning algorithm and the testbed structure impact reconstruction skill of surface ocean pCO2 (spCO2) using the pCO2-Residual method. We find that, when negative mean squared error (nMSE) is used as error metric during hyperparameter optimization, the reconstruction significantly underestimates spCO2 over 2017-2022, irrespective of which CMIP6 ESM is used as a testbed; this results in an overestimation of the global ocean sink, assessed through comparison to the ‘testbed truth’. If hyperparameters are selected based on bias as the error metric, this trend of increasingly negative bias is eliminated. When applied to real-world SOCAT data, this leads to a significantly weaker global ocean carbon sink in 2021-2022 (up to ~ 0.5 Pg C/yr), and less divergence from GOBM estimates. This suggests that the increasingly stronger sink showed by the pCO2-Residual method in recent years might not represent a real trend, but may be due to algorithmic design choices in the context of sparse and biased observational coverage.", "license": { "name": "CC-BY Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Public License\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

This study evaluates the susceptibility of over 24,000 bridges in Iowa to flood-induced damage by considering both the likelihood of flooding and its potential negative impacts on bridge functionality, using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Fuzzy AHP methods. By combining bridge inventory datasets with historical flood data, this study assesses flood risks across multiple flood scenarios (50, 100, and 500 years return period). Factors such as bridge age, condition, traffic volume, detour lengths, and flood likelihood were used to calculate the impact indices for each bridge. Two distinct impact index sets were computed and visualized across the state at individual locations, county scales, and through a Kernel-based heatmap analysis where the population data was incorporated as an additional layer to provide a broader perspective on the potential societal impacts. The results indicate areas where a large portion of the bridge network is at risk of flooding, potentially leading to major disruptions and impacts on society. This research provides insights into the weaknesses in Iowa’s bridge network and contributes to understanding how transportation infrastructure is impacted by flooding.</p>", "license": { "name": "CC-BY Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-NC-SA 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Current policies will act too slowly to prevent rising temperatures from crossing critical climate tipping points. IPCC assessments underestimate the non-linear risks and catastrophic costs of overshooting Paris Agreement targets. Opponents of solar geoengineering cite concerns about moral hazard and other potential risks; however, at this juncture cooling interventions are the only feasible way to stop dangerous climate change. Worsening impacts will force many climate sceptics to address the crisis. They will increasingly support solar geoengineering, as these methods will allow global temperatures to be rapidly lowered without reducing emissions. Major powers are already researching climate geoengineering. In the near future one or more countries will almost inevitably deploy unilateral climate interventions to prevent increasingly extreme weather from causing massive crop failures and other deadly disasters. To forestall the unilateral deployment of untested technologies, an international program is urgently needed to research safe climate cooling methods and develop effective global governance. Solar geoengineering can reduce temperatures to safe levels, but will not stop rising concentrations of atmospheric greenhouse gases from acidifying the oceans and destroying critical marine ecosystems. Cooling interventions are imperative, but they must be used as supplements for existing strategies to reduce and remove greenhouse gases, not as substitutes. To ensure constructive outcomes, international dialogue and research must immediately begin on a new, viable climate strategy: supplementing greenhouse gas emission reduction and carbon dioxide removal with cooling interventions.

However, missing well logs frequently occur due to tool failures or economic constraints, which can impede accurate subsurface modeling. This research presents a method for predicting missing well logs using the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) regression algorithm, trained on data from the University of Kansas. The study focuses on predicting Delta T (DT) and Gamma Ray (GR) logs across five wells. The KNN model effectively captures the relationships between available and missing logs through proximity-based predictions, leveraging patterns from similar well-log data. The model achieved high test accuracy with R^2 scores ranged from 0.942 to 0.963 for DT and 0.927 to 0.930 for GR, indicating robust performance and generalization of unseen data. Observations of minor overfitting were noted, with training accuracy slightly exceeding test accuracy; however, these differences do not significantly detract from the model’s effectiveness. The results demonstrate that the KNN algorithm is a promising method for estimating missing well logs, effectively enhancing reservoir characterization workflows in data-limited scenarios.", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

To address this challenge, this study proposes an artificial intelligence-based method for jointly retrieving land surface temperature (LST), emissivity (LSE), and atmospheric water vapor content (WVC) from thermal infrared remote sensing data, achieving an organic integration of physical mechanism-based and statistical approaches. The model is initially applied to retrieve LST and LSE, which are then utilized as prior knowledge for cross-iterative WVC retrieval. The simulation validation results demonstrate that the four-band combination scheme for LST retrieval achieved optimal theoretical accuracy, with a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.51 K and root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.69 K. The retrieval RMSE values for both LSE31 and LSE32 remained below 0.01. Incorporating LST and LSE information with the four thermal infrared bands further enhanced WVC retrieval stability, yielding an MAE of 0.05 g/cm² and RMSE of 0.08 g/cm². Finally, cross-validation and ground-based verification using the optimal band combination confirmed the overall reliability of the retrieval results. The retrieval errors for all parameters were reduced during nighttime due to decreased solar irradiation interference. Overall, the proposed joint retrieval method improved both accuracy and stability for all parameters, overcoming the limitations of conventional techniques and enhancing overall retrieval performance.", "license": { "name": "CC-By Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-NC-ND 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

The present study (N = 1951) investigates some of the most relevant psychosocial variables associated with environmental policy support and adaptation to the CEE: descriptive norms, negative affect, perceived self-efficacy and outcome expectancy of adaptive actions, personal values and beliefs, risk perception, and political orientation. More specifically, we investigate how these factors predict support or opposition for a range of real UK environmental policies as well as self-reported behaviours reflecting engagement with the issue. We find that negative affect, outcome expectancy, universalism values, and political orientation are key predictors of environmental policy support and/or proxy behavioural engagement. In addition, we find that negative affect mediates the relationship between benevolence, universalism, political orientation, and the dependent variables, thus highlighting the role of emotional responses in shaping and mediating psychosocial adaptation to the CEE.", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Nitrogen entrained in the aquifer is a function of land use and associated nitrogen sources at the time of groundwater recharge, which may differ considerably from present-day sources. Legacy nitrogen can result in substantial discrepancies between observed present-day nitrogen loading to surface water receptors and loading estimated from present-day sources. Additionally, legacy nitrogen can continue to discharge into surface waters after nitrogen mitigation actions have been undertaken. Here, we use a numerical modeling framework to compare three methods of estimating time-varying historical nitrogen loads to four water bodies (receptors) on eastern Long Island, New York. The methods span a range of data requirements and process complexity, from instantaneous receptor loads calculated from steady-state groundwater contributing areas, to transient loads estimated by explicitly simulating legacy groundwater nitrogen transport over a century with large changes in nitrogen sources and hydrologic conditions. The effects of legacy nitrogen on estimated receptor loads varied temporally and spatially within the study area. Depending on antecedent nitrogen inputs and hydrologic conditions, historical annual nitrogen loads estimated from transient simulations accounting for legacy nitrogen can be quite similar (<10% difference) or substantially different (±100%) from those estimated from simpler instantaneous methods. Continued input of present-day nitrogen sources using methods that account for legacy nitrogen results in asymptotic increases in receptor nitrogen loads over time, indicating that simulated present-day receptor nitrogen loads are not in equilibrium with present-day inputs. For these receptors in disequilibrium, models simulating transient groundwater nitrogen transport could be used to account for legacy nitrogen lag times to help resource managers evaluate the potential effectiveness of proposed nitrogen mitigation actions.", "license": { "name": "No Creative Commons license", "short_name": "No CC license", "text": "This option allows you to opt out of adding a Creative Commons license to your submission.", "url": "https://escholarship.org" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "hydrogeology" }, { "word": "numerical modeling" }, { "word": "solute transport" }, { "word": "nitrogen" }, { "word": "groundwater" } ], "date_submitted": "2025-04-14T17:42:47.052000Z", "date_accepted": "2025-04-15T11:44:34.706000Z", "date_published": "2025-04-15T11:44:00Z", "doi": null, "preprint_doi": "10.31223/X56Q8J", "authors": [ { "pk": 106922, "first_name": "Kalle", "middle_name": "L", "last_name": "Jahn", "salutation": "", "orcid": "0000-0002-4976-0137" }, { "pk": 106924, "first_name": "Donald", "middle_name": "A", "last_name": "Walter", "salutation": "", "orcid": null } ], "subject": [ { "name": "Earth Sciences" }, { "name": "Environmental Sciences" }, { "name": "Hydrology" }, { "name": "Physical Sciences and Mathematics" }, { "name": "Water Resource Management" } ], "files": [ { "original_filename": "legacy_n_preprint_202504.pdf", "mime_type": "application/pdf", "download_url": "/repository/object/8974/download/16769/" } ], "supplementary_files": [] }, { "pk": 8981, "title": "Artificial Intelligence in the polycrisis: fueling or fighting flames?", "abstract": "Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly entangled with the polycrisis—persistent, interconnected disruptions shaping the Anthropocene.

This uncertainty is critical not only for studies\non current climate conditions but also for future climate change projections, where\nobservational data sets are used for bias correction and downscaling of global climate\nmodel (GCM) outputs. To minimize the impact of biases on current assessments and\nfuture projections, it is essential to ensure that the reference data set accurately\nrepresents the true climate state and spans a sufficiently long period to filter out\ninternal variability. The selection of appropriate GGTDs is hence a crucial yet often\noverlooked factor in research that examines the impact of climate variability and change\non vector-borne diseases such as yellow fever (YF). YF, an arboviral disease endemic to\ntropical regions of Africa and South America, has transmission dynamics that may be\nsignificantly influenced by climate change. In this study, we evaluated four GGTDs,\nnamely the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperatures (BEST), the Climatic Research Unit\nTime-Series (CRUTS) and the ERA5 and ERA5Land reanalysis data sets, for\nhealth-related impact research, specifically examining YF transmission in South\nAmerica. Each dataset was evaluated via grid-based analysis and validated against\nnational weather station data, focusing on Brazil and Colombia, where YF outbreak risk\nremains. Our findings show that substantial differences among GGTDs affect the\nspatial representation of climate change indices, bioclimatic variables, and spatially\naggregated temperature estimates at the administrative unit level, which generally serve\nas inputs for transmission models. In particular, while the reanalysis data sets generally\noutperformed the lower-resolution products, ERA5 demonstrated a slight advantage\nover ERA5Land despite the latter’s higher spatial resolution. Most importantly, our\nresults highlight that variations among GGTDs can lead to markedly different estimates\nof key disease transmission parameters.", "license": { "name": "CC-By Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-NC-ND 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

We test this hypothesis by re-examining the Dolomites record, utilizing an updated redox sensitive trace metal (V, U and Mo) approach, combined with Fe speciation and Th/U ratios, and paleontological observations. Redox sensitive trace metal and Fe speciation data reveal fluctuating redox conditions prior to the extinction, with periodic enrichments in highly reactive Fe likely reflecting Fe2+ mobilization in anoxic ferruginous deeper waters. Oxic conditions are indicated during and after the extinction event, suggesting that local redox conditions did not control biodiversity changes. However, this redox reconstruction contrasts somewhat with traditional interpretation of Th/U ratios, which indicate more persistent shallow water anoxia, likely due to a strong regional influence of the detrital sediment composition. A comparison with other shallow marine successions reveals similar redox trends, suggesting that shallow water anoxia was not global. Instead, redox conditions across the Permian/Triassic boundary were likely variable, rendering it vital to assess the role of anoxia on a site-specific basis to understand its role in the shallow marine Permian-Triassic mass extinction.</p>", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

A measurement solution is defined as a system or market offering that quantifies and/or localizes emissions. Our study involved full-scale multipoint- and area-source (dispersed) controlled releases of methane from the ground surface of a closed 25-hectare landfill with collection system and a background emission rate of 24 kg/hr. Most quantification methods performed well, but the truck-based Tracer Correlation method performed the best with an uncertainty of ±20%. Drone flux plane methods also performed well with an uncertainty of ±34% with very few outliers in the best-case scenario. For leak detection, aerial LiDAR demonstrated a 100% detection probability down to the lowest emission rates whereas drone column sensors emulating EPA 21 Surface Emissions Monitoring (SEM) were 100x less sensitive. Continuous sensors, trucks, and other methods were also assessed. Results indicate that many of the current quantification methods are effective, and potentially more accurate than first-order decay models, though they still need to be applied in a replicated fashion for robust site level estimates. Detection outcomes were variable, and questions remain, such as how the evaluated methods would compare the against regulatory SEM method, the impact of spacing and trigger thresholds (which differ regionally in regulation), and what detection level is actually necessary for effective landfill gas management. This site provides a future test bed for answering these other questions.</p>", "license": { "name": "CC-By Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-NC-ND 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

These systems are commonly designed with specific surface areas and controlled ponding depths to provide sufficient storage capacity that counteracts the increased runoff resulting from urban expansion. Nevertheless, arbitrarily selecting the ponding depth---without systematic optimization---may lead to designs that either lack sufficient storage or utilize unnecessary space. This work presents MoDOBR, an optimized sizing framework specifically developed for retention systems. The methodology is demonstrated through four practical examples. A key aspect of the proposed approach is ensuring that the design ponding depth closely aligns with the required storage volume to manage excess runoff, particularly under conditions where infiltration pathways and underdrainage may become clogged or ineffective. The model dynamically solves the mass balance at both the system’s surface and at the interface with the saturated soil zone. The application of MoDOBR across various case studies, including a soil sensitivity assessment, reveals that sandy soils typically require LID installations covering about 2.9% of the drainage area, while clayey soils may demand up to 50% coverage when accounting for runoff from a storm with a 5-year return period.</p>", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

The simulated 3D elastic medium was designed with Von Kármán-correlated heterogeneity, providing a realistic representation of the complexities present in natural seismic environments. We analyzed three distinct cases, each characterized by increasing levels of heterogeneity fluctuation, with standard deviations ranging from 10% to 25%, both at depth and at the free surface, allowing us to compare the behavior of seismic waves under varying conditions. We validated the consistency between theoretical predictions of the scattering theory and simulations of the elastic wave equation using Spectral Elements Methods. We compared the results in terms of the mean free path, long-term energy evolution, and the partitioning of energy between compressional and shear modes. For the latter, the validation was supported by numerical simulations of the elastic Radiative Transfer Equation.\nWe show that under specific conditions, existing Spectral Elements simulation codes can effectively replicate wave propagation in a highly scattering medium. This implies that a greater part of the waveform, namely the late envelops, could be employed in inversion processes, thus opening up new possibilities in the realm of inversion studies. Furthermore, we investigated the energy envelope of the displacement wavefield and its gradient to demonstrate how the analysis of the rotational field can provide additional insights into the source mechanism, the propagation direction and the polarization of seismic waves.", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

This extreme weather event is characterized by prolonged periods of exceptionally high air temperatures and has caused substantial economic damage and affecting millions. During heatwave events, agricultural and forest lands are affected by intensified thermal stress and water scarcity, impacting plant health, productivity, and ecosystem stability. This study revealed the projected heatwave changes in frequency and duration over agricultural and forest areas in Türkiye based on the ensemble mean of 23 general circulation models through the two latest CMIP6 climate change scenarios (SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5). Agricultural and forest lands are projected to experience dramatic increases in summer heatwave events and prolonged durations throughout two long-term periods (2041-2070 and 2071-2100) during 21st century, particularly between 36°N and 38°N latitudes. Trend analysis using the triple-ITA method confirms unstable positive trends in historical heatwave metrics over these ecosystems, transitioning to stable positive trends in future projections. These findings emphasize the escalating risk of extreme heat events for critical ecosystems in Türkiye.</p>", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Changes in species distribution and composition are often thought to induce biotic homogenization, defined as a decline in spatial beta diversity through time. However, it is unclear whether homogenization is common in ocean ecosystems and if changes in beta diversity exhibit linear or more complex dynamics. Here, we assessed patterns of homogenization or its converse (differentiation) across more than 175,000 samples of 2,006 demersal fish species from 34 regions spanning six decades and 20% of the planet’s continental shelf area. While ten regions (29%) recorded significant homogenization, eleven (32%) recorded significant differentiation. Non-monotonic temporal fluctuations in beta diversity occurred in 15 regions, highlighting complex dynamics missed by before-and-after snapshots that can drive spurious conclusions about trends in beta diversity. Fishing pressure and temperature helped explain variance in beta diversity across years and regions. However, the strength and direction of these effects differed by region. Here we showed that, despite intense anthropogenic impacts on the oceans, the majority of demersal marine fish communities do not follow the global homogenization paradigm common in other realms.", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Region of The Gambia. Climate changes and non-climatic conditions can substantially influence malaria prevalence, and further affect the coverage of preventive interventions. This work aimed at exploring the different climatic and non-climatic risk factors associated with malaria. A descriptive research method using a parallel mixed method approach was adopted. Using a multistage approach, 381 households were selected from the region, and primary data was collected from household heads. Descriptive statistics were performed using StataSE18, and the significant influence of environmental and socioeconomic factors was analyzed using Chi-square (Χ2). Thematic analysis for the qualitative part was carried out using Nvivo.\nMalaria is heavily influenced by rainfalls, floods, and some of the measured non-climatic factors. These results will provide individuals, professionals, government, and policymakers valuable information for better-targeting malaria control efforts.", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Projections of future Antarctic Ice Sheet behavior are shaped by the assumption that peak sea level during past warm periods occurred after ice sheets had disappeared from North America. Here we present emerging evidence from paleoceanography and allied disciplines to argue that North American ice sheets endured well into some of the warmest interglacials of the last million years. We begin by reviewing the evidence for North American ice sheets persistence during past warm periods. We then show that overlooking this feature of past interglacials may lead projections of future ice sheet mass loss to systematically underestimate Antarctic Ice Sheet sensitivity to future warming.

This uncertainty is critical not only for studies on current climate conditions but also for future climate change projections, where observational data sets are used for bias correction and downscaling of global climate model (GCM) outputs. To minimize the impact of biases on current assessments and future projections, it is essential to ensure that the reference data set accurately represents the true climate state and spans a sufficiently long period to filter out internal variability. The selection of appropriate GGTDs is hence a crucial yet often overlooked factor in research that examines the impact of climate variability and change on vector-borne diseases such as yellow fever (YF). YF, an arboviral disease endemic to tropical regions of Africa and South America, has transmission dynamics that may be significantly influenced by climate change. In this study, we evaluated four GGTDs, namely the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperatures (BEST), the Climatic Research Unit Time-Series (CRUTS) and the ERA5 and ERA5Land reanalysis data sets, for health-related impact research, specifically examining YF transmission in South America. Each dataset was evaluated via grid-based analysis and validated against national weather station data, focusing on Brazil and Colombia, where YF outbreak risk remains. Our findings show that substantial differences among GGTDs affect the spatial representation of climate change indices, bioclimatic variables, and spatially aggregated temperature estimates at the administrative unit level, which generally serve as inputs for transmission models. In particular, while the reanalysis data sets generally outperformed the lower-resolution products, ERA5 demonstrated a slight advantage over ERA5Land despite the latter’s higher spatial resolution. Most importantly, our results highlight that variations among GGTDs can lead to markedly different estimates of key disease transmission parameters.", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

However, its impacts on health, health service utilisation and household health expenditures remain poorly understood. We conducted a quantitative study between August and September 2022 in Tala, a disaster-prone sub-district in southwest Satkhira. Data were collected from 596 randomly selected households. 1266 adults were surveyed, from which 768 reported recent illness. Of these 768 adults, 213 reported formal health care utilisation for their first visit. Information about household’s exposure to waterlogging in the past 12 months was also collected from the households. Bivariate analyses were used to test the association between the outcome variables (illness report, formal health care utilisation, and out-of-pocket expenditure) and other variables (age, gender, education, being the head of the household, type of illness, wealth index of the household, household size and experience of waterlogging in the past 12 months). Two probit models followed for illness report and formal health care utilisation. Of these 1266 adults, waterlogging experience was significantly associated with illness reporting [Coef: 0.47; CI 0.14,0.80], p=0.006). However, it was not significantly associated with health care utilisation for the 768 adults reporting any illness [Coef: -0.11; CI -0.51,0.029], p=0.600). Bivariate analyses for the association of healthcare expenditure and waterlogging present no significant association (p=0.635). Considering significant associations, household wealth (wealthiest/poorest) and age (older/younger), were positively associated with illness reporting. In contrast, gender (males/females) and household size (larger/smaller) were negatively associated with illness reporting. For formal health service utilisation, on the 768 adults reporting illness, a negative association was observed for education (compared to higher education), and a positive association for wealth (average wealthy/poorest) and for chronic illness (/acute).

Understanding the dynamics of these extreme events, including drought, is essential for anticipatory action among resource‐dependent communities. This study utilised Earth Observatory Systems and Google Earth Engine to analyse 24 years of Normalised Difference Drought Index trends in the Narok West landscape of Kenya across six timeframes (2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020, and 2024). It revealed that the Normalised Difference Drought Index ranged from −0.489 (April 2000) to 0.469 (August 2005). Additionally, it established that during June–July–August dry seasons, there was an increase in the proportionate area under severe drought from 11% in 2000 to 24% in 2024 (average 19.17%, SD: 8.43%); and a decrease in the proportionate area under non‐drought (good conditions) from 57.5% in 2000 to 40.5% in 2024 (average 40.5%, SD: 7.43%) respectively. Temporal increase in drought events was observed to be increasing from 2015, with extremes witnessed in 2020. Moreover, we established that season dry season rainfall averages 147.2 mm (95% CI: 100.7–193.8) and is decreasing at a rate of 1.25 mm annually. It is anticipated that the frequency and severity of drought across the landscape might increase due to weather variability, predominantly attributed to climate change. The increase could have a detrimental effect on water quality and quantity, public and ecosystem health, mental health and wellness, peace and protection, and rangeland ecology. Our study contributes to the body of research on future drought scenarios, which could assist with methodological and empirical studies and corrective actions. To adapt to and manage the effects of changing climate, these scenarios necessitate interdisciplinary community and landscape strategies, including the need for communities to develop a comprehensive understanding of the impacts of climate change and plan for the sustainable management of water resources.</p>", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

In the United States, extreme heat is the leading weather-related cause of death, claiming more lives annually than hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes combined. However, the characteristics of EHEs can vary significantly between events and over time, with some events perceived as more severe producing vastly different health and societal outcomes and these factors are largely understudied. In this paper, we explore regional trends in heat severity and mortality rates across the conterminous United States from 1981-2022 and provide a regional examination of how specific EHE characteristics impact heat mortality. We find that the number of extreme heat days has the strongest influence on heat related mortality. We observe increasing trends in heat-related mortality in every climate region throughout the U.S., except for the Western North Central region. These increases, likely connected to increases in annual EHE days during the period, suggest a significant escalation in heat related risk in the United States. Further, we find in the Southwest and Southeast regions, heat-related mortality is increasing at a higher rate than heat severity, suggesting potential for modification by community and individual level social vulnerability. Future heat mortality models should be holistic in their approach, incorporating not only multiple characteristics of heat but also measures of vulnerability to fully capture the complex dynamics of risk and exposure.", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Prolonged exposure to rising ambient temperatures further exacerbates these effects, potentially hindering student’s cognitive performance under extreme heat conditions.\nObjectives: This paper systematically reviews the existing knowledge on the long-term and cumulative exposure of students to heat stress, with the aim to synthesize evidence on the magnitude and mechanisms of the associated cognitive loss and on the adaptation measures and technologies to mitigate these cognitive impacts, evaluating their efficiency and potential limitations. Additionally, the paper explores the evidence provided by the existing literature on the social and economic inequalities and heterogeneities caused by prolonged heat exposure among students within and across countries and presents existing forecasts about the cognitive risks associated with future overheating.\nMethods: We searched PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Google Scholar for eligible studies. We included peer-reviewed articles with the following characteristics: 1. Examining the long-term impacts of indoor or outdoor temperature on students' learning capacity, the social and economic inequalities established, the adaptive measures used, the future climate’s effect on cognition, 2. Published in the last 15 years and up to December 2024, 3. Written in English. We excluded clinical trials, theses, reviews and studies on the effects of short-term exposure to heat. We mapped the effects of overheating, the adaptation strategies analysed, and the level of impact based on socioeconomic status and synthesised the results narratively. Bias was avoided by including studies with large numbers of participants and a robust analysis.\nResults: 7 studies from 6 articles were included in the review. Collectively, these studies analyzed a dataset comprising nearly 14.5 million students from 61 countries. The findings suggest that long-term heat exposure negatively impacts students' cumulative learning and that the effect appears to be greater for complex tasks, e.g., mathematics, compared to simpler tasks, such as reading. Acclimatisation to higher temperatures combined with the increased prevalence of air conditioning in warmer regions, appears to shield students from the cognitive disruptions associated with heat exposure. Populations experiencing vulnerability, particularly those with lower socioeconomic status, face the greatest impact from heat exposure's effects. As global temperatures continue to rise, these groups are disproportionately impacted, highlighting the need for targeted measures to address inequities and protect those most at risk.\nThe study presents limitations related to the heterogeneity of the populations participating in each study and that of the methodologies used.", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

While mobility is often used as a coping or adaptation strategy to escape climate impact, some mobility typifies and results in maladaptation. Protecting populations in vulnerable situations usually raises issues that test the limits of law and policy on mobility as an adaptation to climate change. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is used to improve life and livelihood but has downsides. South Africa has a fair share of mobility associated with extreme climate change events. Still, the extent to which AI applies in the context of climate mobility and adaptation is undeveloped. It is even less so examined whether AI may aid or hinder the protection of populations relocated-as an adaptive measure in response to adverse consequences of climate change in South Africa. Consequently, this paper explores the intersection of human mobility, climate adaptation, and AI in South Africa, focusing on key provisions of existing legal and policy instruments that may be leveraged to address issues involved in protecting populations experiencing climate change-induced displacement. In doing so, it assesses AI's potential role in the IDPs' planned relocation, for example, using AI tools for needs assessment, resource allocation, protection services, or infrastructure planning. It also proposes that with AI policies and laws, mitigation against maladaptation and effective adaptation to climate change impact can be attainable in South Africa.", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Using non-parametric trend analysis, multi-method causality testing, and wavelet coherence techniques, we analyzed volume transport time series spanning 1984--2023 for the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF), Agulhas Current system, and Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The ITF demonstrates statistically significant strengthening, with geostrophic and salinity components increasing by 0.79 and 0.28 Sv decade$^{-1}$, respectively ($p < 0.05$). Conversely, the AMOC exhibits robust weakening of $-1.61$ Sv decade$^{-1}$ ($p < 0.0001$), while Agulhas transport shows no significant long-term trends despite substantial interannual variability. Causality analysis reveals four statistically significant pathways linking ITF components to Agulhas variability with lag times of 0--18 months, supported by consensus across maximum cross-correlation, convergent cross mapping, and transfer entropy methods. However, no direct causal connections emerge between either Indo-Pacific system and the AMOC, indicating regional forcing dominance over global-scale coupling on observable timescales. Wavelet coherence analysis identifies dominant annual-scale coupling (0.87--1.30 years) in ITF-Agulhas relationships, with enhanced coherence during major climate events including the 1997--98 El Ni\\~{n}o. These findings suggest that contemporary ocean circulation responds primarily to regional forcing mechanisms---intensified Maritime Continent rainfall driving ITF strengthening and weakened North Atlantic convection controlling AMOC decline---rather than operating as a tightly coupled global conveyor belt. The identified statistical relationships provide critical observational constraints for ocean circulation models and highlight the need for sustained monitoring as anthropogenic forcing continues to reshape ocean gateway dynamics.", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

The primary objective was to quantify the levels of heavy metals, and to evaluate the associated risks to human health, particularly concerning non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic effects. Water samples were purposely collected from 24 sites in the River Basin. Analytical techniques were utilized to measure the heavy metal concentrations, revealing the average concentrations of heavy metals followed the order of Hg (0.029 mg/L) > Mn (0.028 mg/L) > Cu (0.022 mg/L) > Pb (0.022 mg/L) > Ni (0.021 mg/L) > As (0.021 mg/L) > Co (0.019 mg/L) > Cd (0.017 mg/L) > Fe (0.017 mg/L) > Zn (0.016 mg/L) > Cr (0.016 mg/L) > Se (0.014 mg/L). Notably, areas near significant pollution sources exhibited higher concentrations, especially Mn, which peaked at 0.165 mg/L. Pollution indices (HPI, HEI, MI) indicated that water quality was compromised for both drinking and irrigation uses. Risk assessment revealed non-carcinogenic hazards (HQ and HI) primarily linked to arsenic and cadmium, presenting intolerable risks, especially for children. Carcinogenic risk evaluations indicated a high risk for developing cancer based on oral intake, while dermal exposure remained within acceptable limits.

Exposure to saline water may contribute to a variety of health challenges, including menstrual irregularities and pregnancy complications.Objective: This study aimed to assess the reproductive health challenges faced by women in salinity-affected areas and compare these findings with women living in non-salinity-affected areas in Bangladesh.Methods: A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted among 647 married women of reproductive age (15–49 years), with 405 participants from salinity-affected areas and 242 from non-salinity-affected areas. Data were collected using a pretested structured questionnaire and face-to-face interviews. Water samples from the study areas were tested for salinity and other parameters, including pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), and sodium (Na). Statistical analyses included chi-square tests, ordinal logistic regression, and the Mann-Whitney U test, with a significance level set at p < 0.05.Results: Women in salinity-affected areas exhibited significantly higher rates of reproductive health issues, including irregular menstrual cycles (42.5% vs. 27.3%, p < 0.01), genital itching (38.2% vs. 18.6%, p < 0.001), and lower abdominal pain (35.4% vs. 20.2%, p < 0.001). Pregnancy complications were more prevalent in salinity-affected areas (48.6% vs. 32.4%, p < 0.01). Water quality analysis revealed higher salinity (4.5±1.3 ppt vs. 0.6±0.2 ppt, p < 0.001) and elevated sodium levels in the affected areas.Conclusion: Salinity-affected areas in Bangladesh show a higher burden of reproductive health challenges among women, which may be linked to poor water quality. Effective interventions, including water treatment and community health education, are essential to mitigate these health risks.", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

These thermally structured areas provide ideal turbulence for phytoplankton growth and biomass aggregation, triggering complex and abundant food webs, in turn exploited by populations of marine megafauna and fisheries. How the distribution and degree of this surface heterogeneity has varied at climate-change scales is unknown. In this study, we prove that the horizontal surface thermal structure of the ocean has declined steadily in the most important upwelling ecosystems during the last 41 years (1982-2022: -0.1°C of SST standard deviation within 0.25x0.25-dregree cells at the seasonal upwelling peak). Years with low thermal structure showed remaining hotspots towards upwelling cores, close to shore. The mechanisms of this long-term decline remain unclear. The correlation with the mean SST itself was negative but non-consistent among upwelling regions, while the negative correlation with the steadily increasing absolute dynamic topography was strong in all regions. This points to a multidecadal heat content gain along the water column as a potential cause of the homogenization process. Arguably, this loss in sea surface thermal structure could be related to described declines and redistributions of some marine megafauna species.", "license": { "name": "CC-By Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-NC-ND 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Research that considers WASH within a socioecological framework where climatic, infrastructural, economic, and individual factors are interconnected in influencing maternal choices can inform more effective WASH interventions.\nTo understand WASH preferences and priorities under different socioeconomic and community contexts, we conducted in-depth interviews and freelisting activities with 33 mothers of children under two years of age participating in the ECoMiD study in northwest Ecuador. Data were inductively coded connected thematically to the socioecological framework. Select survey data from ECoMiD were analyzed to provide additional context.\nMaternal WASH choices are driven by factors at each level of the socioecological framework. Climatic: seasonal flooding decreases the appeal of WASH investments like cisterns, and household wealth facilitates access in times of climatic stress. Geographic: benefits of WASH access via proximity to piped systems are complicated by quality and consistency concerns, while access from proximity to rivers is complicated by labor requirements. Community: local infrastructure dictates individual options for accessing WASH. Piped systems improve access to water quantity irrespective of quality. Household: consistent, quality piped water for drinking and chores is the most common maternal household WASH preference. WASH utilization and purchasing priorities respond to financial and labor-related constraints. Individual: mothers value time-savings associated with WASH technologies and access.\nMaternal decision making operates at the terminus of a chain of broader and interconnected socioecological conditions. The burden of obtaining WASH access is greatest for the poorest households with the least community infrastructure, compounded by seasonal conditions. Improving community-level WASH access and taking a multisectoral approach to health interventions would better address individual and household level barriers to WASH access, and support mothers in making WASH-related choices that can ultimately improve child health and wellbeing.", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

This approach uses entropy and frequency analyses to integrate multiple climate indices related to precipitation and air temperature into a single metric representing the unique variability and extreme characteristics of each scenario. In this study, 35 GCM-SSP combinations were analyzed, yielding the following major findings. While variability and extremeness in climate scenarios tended to increase under severe global warming scenarios, this trend was not always consistent. These findings suggest that the general insights into GCMs and SSPs should be broadened. Suitable GCM-SSP combinations were selected by ranking unique characteristics using the Katsavounidis-Kuo-Zhang algorithm, enabling the capture of the full range of GCM-SSP combinations with a minimal number of combinations. Although precipitation and air temperature were the primary focus, the method can be expanded to include other weather variables, such as wind speed and solar radiation. The results demonstrate that this integrated approach effectively represents a wide range of climate scenarios, providing a comprehensive understanding of the projected climates across different regions and timescales. By transforming high-dimensional data into a single dimension, this approach simplifies interpretation, supporting a more effective identification of GCM-SSP combinations suitable for diverse climate adaptation strategies.</p>", "license": { "name": "CC-BY Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Public License\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

With technological advancements in acoustic monitoring, thousands of AE waveforms can now be collected in minutes of experimental time, requiring efficient methods for their detection and analysis. In this study, we introduce a deep learning model for automatically detecting AEs in laboratory shear experiments. Our dataset consists of about 30,000 manually picked AEs waveforms collected under different experimental boundary conditions using two fault gouge materials: Min-U-Sil quartz gouge and glass beads. By adapting the PhaseNet model, originally developed for natural earthquake phase detection, we train AEsNet, a robust AE picker that outperforms pre-existing picking methods for the tested materials. To investigate whether the trained models can generalize across different boundary conditions and materials, and overcome the limitations of small, manually labeled datasets, we apply transfer learning to analyze performance relative to training size and material diversity. Our results indicate that model performance is largely independent of experimental conditions but strongly dependent on material type. This finding suggests that direct transfer of models trained on one material to another is often ineffective due to distinct frequency characteristics of AEs, which are closely linked to the microphysical processes driving emissions in the different granular materials. However, quick fine- tuning significantly enhances pre-trained AEsNet performance, even surpassing that of a fine-tuned PhaseNet model pre-trained on natural earthquakes. This underscores the importance of customizing models to the specific attributes of laboratory-generated AEs—a conclusion consistent with findings from transfer learning applications in natural seismicity. In conclusion, our approach provides an efficient tool for enhancing AE detection, even with limited data from diverse laboratory conditions, enabling the creation of reliable AE catalogs that can significantly advance our understanding of fault mechanics in controlled experimental settings.", "license": { "name": "CC-BY Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Public License\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

The work explores the possibility of large-scale antypodal amplification of seismic energy and interference effects as mechanisms for continental-scale deformation. Using geoinformatics tools (ArcGIS, GPlates), topographic and gravimetric data (SRTM, GEBCO, GRACE), and comparative planetary analogs (Mars, Mercury, Moon), the study outlines a synthetic geodynamic model explaining the origin of the Amazon Basin as a post-impact geostructure.

We drew on extant literature to develop a transdisciplinary system dynamics simulation model which we ran on a sample of the 53 largest MSAs in CONUS, by population. We produced stratified HRI and cost projections across regions out to the year 2040. We found striking regional differences in HRIs and HRIs per EHE. We also found race disparities in HRIs and costs, and these disparities varied by US climate region. Differences across regions and scenarios furthermore appear to be the result of changing EHE profiles combined with underlying changes in the geographic distribution of demographic and socioeconomic disparities in risk. By combining continuous and discrete event modeling, this approach makes possible the construction of models which can be empirically tested at discrete points, both structural and parametric, along its causal chains. Such models may help align specific interventions that address vulnerabilities to extreme heat while improving the calibration, coordination, and timing of regional responses.", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Despite progress, disparities between urban and rural populations persist, impacting health outcomes and overall well-being.\nObjective: This study aimed to identify factors influencing access to improved water sources and sanitation in selected SSA countries.\nMethods: The study analyzed Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data from 31 SSA countries. A complex survey design was used to assess disparities in water and sanitation access. Descriptive and multivariate analyses, including Poisson regression models, were conducted to determine associations between demographic factors and access to improved water and sanitation.\nResults: Overall, 75.8% of the population had access to improved water sources, while 52.0% had access to improved sanitation. However, rural dwellers had significantly lower access (64.0% for water, 40.0% for sanitation) compared to urban residents (93.0% for water, 74.0% for sanitation). Socioeconomic factors such as wealth index, education level, and sex of the household head were significantly associated with access. The poorest households had only 51.0% access to improved water compared to 97.0% among the wealthiest. Educational attainment was significantly linked with improved access [APR=1.04(1.03 – 1.05)], while female-headed households had slightly higher access rates for improved water source than male-headed households (APR = 1.08(1.07 – 1.09).\nConclusion: Disparities in access to improved water and sanitation persist, particularly among rural populations and lower-income groups. Governments in SSA should prioritize investments in water and sanitation infrastructure, particularly in rural areas, to address these inequities. Sustainable policies and targeted interventions are necessary to bridge the gap and ensure universal access to clean water and sanitation.\nKeywords: Improved water source, sanitation, sub-Saharan Africa, rural-urban disparity, Demographic and Health Survey", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Current guidance, ranging from high‑level principles to isolated documentation templates, remains difficult to translate into day‑to‑day research practice, especially for teams operating under tight deadlines. This paper reports the design and early implementation of the I‑GUIDE Data Ethics Toolkit (DET), a suite of lightweight, interoperable tools for users of the NSF-funded Institute for Geospatial Understanding through an Integrative Discovery Environment (I‑GUIDE) platform. Building on a longitudinal, mixed‑methods case study of I‑GUIDE platform users, including surveys, semi‑structured interviews, and sustained participant observation of platform users, we derived six design priorities: usability, anticipatory planning, distributed responsibility, comprehensive coverage, and policy compliance. We then integrated and tailored elements of existing AI and research data lifecycles into an eight‑stage I‑GUIDE Research Lifecycle that anchors the DET. The DET comprises four new tools: (1) Data Cards and (2) Model Cards that capture provenance, bias, and usage constraints; (3) a Research Product Management Plan for project‑level data and model governance; and (4) MEG‑AID, a checklist that assigns, tracks, and audits ethical and reproducibility tasks across the lifecycle. Future work will embed DET into the I-GUIDE cyberinfrastructure to enable features such as automated metadata extraction, bias diagnostics, and coupling of the toolkit with platform‑integrated training modules, thereby lowering administrative burden while making responsible practice a default feature of geospatial AI research.", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Automating sea ice mapping remains challenging due to remotely-sensed signal ambiguity, the dynamic nature of sea ice, and limited field measurements. The AutoICE challenge recently introduced a benchmark to advance deep learning for sea ice mapping. Top-performing solutions used the U-Net architecture with extra pre/post-processing steps and incorporated location features to obtain higher metrics. However, model interpretation and diagnostics remain limited. In this paper, we develop a customized multi-task DeepLabV3 model and achieve state-of-the-art performance of 87.3% combined score without extra pre- and post-processing, and outperform the current state of the art in predicting Stage of Development (SoD). Our approach enhances generalizability and outperforms current cross-scene sea ice retrieval methods. We further use interpretability methods including Gradient SHAP (Gradient Shapley Additive Explanations) and Gradient-Weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM) to shed light on the contribution of individual input features and pixels on model decisions, including the role of geospatial (i.e., location) encoding. While incorporating geospatial encoding seemingly improves inference on the benchmark-designated test set, our additional model interpretation and spatial cross-validation reveal over-reliance on geolocation and overfitting to the test set. This suggests that the top-performing solutions on the AutoICE challenge are likely to lack geographic generalizability, a common issue in remote sensing, made worse by the use of location in the models. As such, we urge caution and recommend the use of spatial cross-validation and interpretability methods when using location information as input for remote sensing applications and further development of sea ice mapping algorithms.</p>", "license": { "name": "CC-By Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-NC-ND 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Dozens of later authors found further evidence for such fluctuations; while dozens of others, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), deny oscillations >50cm. The debate is settled here by (1) a review of the Holocene SL literature, exposing flaws in the techniques and assumptions used in constructing smooth SL curves, and (2) an exhaustive review (companion study by the author) of copious published English coastal archaeology, proving a ~4-metre SL rise in only ~70 years (~430-500AD, early 'Dark Ages'), equating to Fairbridge's global 'Rottnest transgression', but much more precisely dated (dendrochronology, coins, pottery). Thus, the IPCC's opinion that global mean SL has risen faster since 1900 than over any preceding century in at least the last 3,000 years is incorrect. This vindication of Fairbridge implies that IPCC's 'worst-case' predicted SL rise of 1.75m by 2100 is, in fact, unexceptional. Another companion study argues that 'Fairbridge-type' SL rises must be due to Antarctic ice-cliff-collapse events, attributable to warming by solar grand maxima, apart from the next collapse (anthropogenic), predicted to raise SL at least 3m by 2100.", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

In regions dominated by smallholder farmers, a significant obstacle to effective agricultural monitoring is the limited availability of current, detailed crop-type maps. Creating crop-type maps requires extensive field data. However, the high costs associated with field data collection campaigns often make them impractical, resulting in significant data gaps in regions where crop production information is most needed. This paper presents our inaugural dataset comprising 4,925 validated crop-type data points from Kenya’s 2021 and 2022 long-rain seasons. Collaborating with institutional partners and an extensive citizen science network, we collected georeferenced images across Kenya using GoPro cameras. We developed and implemented a deep learning pipeline to process images into crop-type datasets. Our methodology incorporates rigorous quality control measures to ensure the integrity and reliability of the data. The resulting dataset represents a significant contribution to open science and a valuable resource for evidence-based agricultural decision-making. \n", "license": { "name": "CC-BY Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Public License\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

We implement a Virtual Seismic Array using a deep learning encoder-decoder approach to predict transfer properties between stations. Training on recordings from the Gräfenberg array in the secondary microseism frequency band allows us to retrieve models capturing transfer characteristics between stations. These models form the Virtual Seismic Array. To evaluate performance, we beamform original and predicted waveforms to detect dominant secondary microseism sources. We assess three scenarios: one aligning with the training dataset, another with two regimes in training but testing on one, and a third where training data does not align with the testing regime.

Here, we introduce CAMELS-CH-Chem, an extension of CAMELS-CH (Catchment Attributes and Meteorology for Large-sample Studies in Switzerland), incorporating up to 40 water quality parameters for 115 catchments across Switzerland. This new dataset spans the period 1981–2020 and allows for seamless integration with the original CAMELS-CH hydro-meteorological and landscape attribute data. The dataset includes time series of over 30 stream water chemistry constituents, covering both field and laboratory measurements of water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and electrical conductivity at hourly and daily time resolution; along with (bi)monthly measurements of alkalinity (HCO3), ammonium, Ca, Cl, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP), total organic carbon (TOC), K, Mg, Na, total filtered phosphorus, total hardness, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, NO3, NO2, Si, and SO4. Additionally, the dataset also includes (bi)monthly time series of stream and rainwater isotope data (deuterium and oxygen-18). Finally, we complement the chemical data of each catchment with annual land cover, agricultural data (crop types and livestock density), and atmospheric deposition concentrations for NO3, NH4, NH3, NO2 and total inorganic nitrogen. This is mainly due to the importance of farming activities for nitrogen inputs into the environment in many Swiss lowland catchments. CAMELS-CH-Chem offers a relevant contribution to the field of LSH, providing the opportunity to combine extensive catchment characteristics and streamflow data with a detailed collection of water quality parameters, facilitating advances particularly in the field of hydrological modelling.</p>", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

To address this question, we utilized multiple LLMs to harness the US National Weather Service (NWS) flood report data spanning from June 2005 to September 2024. Bidirectional and Auto-Regressive Transformer (BART), Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT), Large Language Model Meta AI (LLaMA-2), LLaMA-3, and LLaMA-3.1 were employed to categorize data based on predefined labels. The methodology was implemented in Charleston County, South Carolina, USA. Extreme events were unevenly distributed across the training period with the “Cyclonic” category exhibiting significantly fewer instances compared to the “Flood” and “Thunderstorm” categories. Analysis suggests that the LLaMA-3 reached its peak performance at 60% of the dataset size while other LLMs achieved peak performance at approximately 80–100% of the dataset size. This study provided deep insights into the application of LLMs in reasoning adverse weather conditions.", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Magnitude and timing are key components of the flow regime, connecting rivers with floodplains and driving feeding and breeding cues for aquatic organisms. We investigated the separate and combined effects of water resource development and projected climate change on seasonal flow regimes in the lower Murrumbidgee River (~1500 km), a major river system within Australia’s Murray-Darling Basin. Using long-term hydrological data and rainfall-runoff modelling (1890-2022), we quantified changes in natural river discharge across key periods of river regulation and environmental flow management. Hydrological alterations, driven by dam constructions and water withdrawals, caused substantial homogenisation of seasonal flow patterns, reducing median river discharge by 24-68% between 1958-2022, compared to modelled natural flows. These declines persisted and intensified despite environmental water deliveries post-2006. Median climate projections (2047-2075) under CMIP6 SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios indicated further reductions in flows during the wetter seasons of autumn, winter, and spring (4-22%), exacerbating the impacts of river regulation, while summer flows may experience slight increases or decreases. These flow reductions have driven extensive drying of the semi-arid Lowbidgee Floodplain, a nationally important 3250 km2 wetland ecosystem, dependent on high interannual and seasonal flow variability for its “boom-and-bust” ecological processes. Flow homogenisation has disrupted natural flooding regimes, reducing floodplain connectivity, degrading riparian habitats, and facilitated the spread of invasive species at the expense of native biodiversity. Our research highlights the need for environmental flow management to better mimic natural flow regimes, prioritising large flow events to restore floodplain wetland health.", "license": { "name": "CC-BY Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Public License\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

This work presents an initial step toward the development of HydroLLM, a domain-specific LLM for hydrology. We construct a dataset of approximately 8,800 hydrology-focused question–answer pairs, each with a supporting context passage drawn from textbooks and scientific articles. The dataset includes four instructional formats: multiple choice, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, and open-ended. Using this corpus, we fine-tune several LLMs of varying type and scale—from compact (1.5B) to large (32B) parameter counts using parameter-efficient LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) methods. Our methodology compares different fine-tuned models and evaluates performance using accuracy and cosine similarity metrics across task types. Results show that the 8B-DeepSeek-Llama variant achieved the strongest overall performance, while the 32B model overfit and the 1.5B model underperformed—demonstrating that larger size is not always advantageous and highlighting the need to match model capacity to dataset size. This work demonstrates that effective domain adaptation requires careful consideration of architecture, parameter count, and task complexity. By establishing performance and identifying the limits of current fine-tuning approaches, we took a concrete step toward building HydroLLM as a robust, domain-specific language model for hydrological analysis and decision support.</p>", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

A widely used approach for this is the equivalent sources technique, which has been adapted over time to improve its computational efficiency and accuracy of the predictions. However, many of these adaptations still face challenges, including border effects in the predictions or reliance on a stabilising parameter. To address these limitations, we introduce dual-layer gradient-boosted equivalent sources to: (1) use a dual-layer approach to improve the predictions of both short- and long-wavelength signals, as well as, reduce border effect; (2) use block-averaging and the gradient-boosted equivalent sources method to reduce the computational load; (3) apply block K-fold cross-validation to guide optimal parameter selection for the model. The proposed method was tested on both synthetic datasets and the ICEGRAV aeromagnetic dataset to evaluate the methods ability to interpolate and upward continue onto a regular grid, as well as predict the amplitude of the anomalous field from total-field anomaly data. The dual-layer approach proved better compared to the single-layer approach when predicting both short- and long-wavelength signals, particularly in the presence of truncated long-wavelength anomalies. The use of block-averaging and the gradient-boosting method enhances the computational efficiency, being able to grid over 400,000 data points in under 2 minutes on a<br>moderate workstation computer.</p>", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Due to limited local meteorological data, NASA POWER's 2-meter temperature records were used. Three statistical tools were applied: the Mann-Kendall test, simple linear regression, and first difference method.\n Findings from the Mann-Kendall test reveal statistically significant warming trends in both maximum and average temperatures during spring and autumn, indicating a clear signal of climate warming in transitional seasons. In contrast, summer and winter exhibited no significant trends, suggesting a relative thermal stability during these periods. The observed decline in spring minimum temperatures may reflect increased nighttime variability, potentially driven by changes in cloud cover or humidity—factors that contribute to a wider diurnal temperature range. Simple linear regression confirmed that spring experienced the most pronounced warming, while the first-difference method highlighted sharp fluctuations in maximum temperatures and irregular patterns in minimum temperatures, underscoring potential exposure to extreme climate events.\n This study enhances the understanding of local climate dynamics in an understudied region and provides valuable insights for agriculture, water resource management, and environmental planning in the context of ongoing climate change.\n", "license": { "name": "No Creative Commons license", "short_name": "No CC license", "text": "This option allows you to opt out of adding a Creative Commons license to your submission.", "url": "https://escholarship.org" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Keywords: Seasonal temperature trends" }, { "word": " climate change" }, { "word": " Mann-Kendall" }, { "word": " Al-Bardi" }, { "word": " Libya." } ], "date_submitted": "2025-04-25T15:23:42.874000Z", "date_accepted": "2025-04-25T16:02:53.365000Z", "date_published": "2025-04-25T16:02:00Z", "doi": null, "preprint_doi": "10.31223/X54M98", "authors": [ { "pk": 107377, "first_name": "Mahmood", "middle_name": "M.M.", "last_name": "Soliman", "salutation": "Dr", "orcid": "0000-0003-4192-4894" } ], "subject": [ { "name": "Geography" } ], "files": [ { "original_filename": "Trend Analysis of Seasonal Temperature in the Al-Bardi region, Northeastern Libya.pdf", "mime_type": "application/pdf", "download_url": "/repository/object/9064/download/16921/" } ], "supplementary_files": [] }, { "pk": 9067, "title": "Back to Basics: On the Proper Determination of Free-Surface Slope (FSS) in Gradually Varied Open Channel Flows", "abstract": "This study is a fundamental evaluation of the fluvial wave propagation in river reaches affected by hysteresis, one of the most complex open-channel topics, materialized in loops and lags among hydraulic variables. Hysteresis processes are still understudied as measurements in natural streams for the whole wave propagation duration are hardly available, while the data from existing gaging sites (almost exclusively relying on stage-discharge relationships) can deviate up to 65% from the actual flows. A better understanding of hysteresis in general and its impact on streamflow monitoring in unsteady flows can be obtained if the free-surface slope (FSS) is determined and analyzed for its variation during wave propagation. Reliable FSS replication in such flows requires a robust understanding of the spatial-temporal sampling constraints. The study addresses the basic, but still weakly resolved, issue of tracing the FSS for waves of different magnitudes and durations. We do so by translating theoretical concepts on oscillatory waves to fluvial counterparts and observing rules for sampling continuous-time signals with discrete-time measurements. The conceptual understanding is verified with numerical simulations and experimental data represented in Eulerian and Lagrangian observation frameworks. We demonstrate that sampling stream stages with spatial and temporal resolutions (expressed in terms of fractions of the wavelength, dxi/λR, and duration, 〖∆T〗_i⁄T_R for the flood wave to reach its peak) between approximately〖 〖 0.0075≤dx〗_i/λ〗_R≤0.01 and , 0.004 ≤〖∆T〗_i⁄T_R ≤0.06, respectively, are required to properly trace FSS for subsequent usage in experimental or numerical simulation contexts.", "license": { "name": "CC-BY Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-NC-SA 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Estimation errors associated with the inability of current monitoring techniques to resolve hysteresis effects could have profound implications when the recorded data is used for water resources management and flood forecasting. A deep analysis of streamflow hysteresis is performed by tracking the St Venant momentum equation terms for storm events propagating at several locations along the Illinois River, USA, using a combined 1D/2D hydraulic model. We correlate flow characteristics with magnitude and timing patterns in these terms to determine their relevance to the presence and absence of hysteretic conditions. The dynamic equation analysis confirms that the hysteretic behavior is related to certain defining characteristics in momentum terms. The local acceleration term only temporally advances the flood wave and is not an indication of hysteretic behavior. Non-hysteretic streamflow has large and balanced gravity and friction forces, equating it to kinematic wave conditions. Meanwhile, hysteretic streamflow has a clear disparity between gravity and friction forces, balanced by active diffusive and convective acceleration forces. In such hysteretic conditions, the diffusive, convective acceleration, and friction slope terms exhibit non-unique relationships and a peak-phasing phenomenon much like the hysteresis signature of the hydraulic variables used to estimate streamflow. For non-hysteretic conditions, the relationships are purely unique and linear, with synchronized variable peaks. The revealed flow characteristics provide information on the important drivers of streamflow hysteresis and create opportunities for improving streamflow monitoring and forecasting.", "license": { "name": "CC-BY Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-NC-SA 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

This study examined views of climate risk and political support for climate action in Eastern North Carolina, a largely rural and agricultural region, with limited access to health care, and elevated environmental vulnerability. Understanding climate attitudes in this context is essential for developing effective and equitable engagement strategies. A Community Health Needs Assessment was administered across 36 counties that included climate risk and political support questions. Responses from 15,962 participants were analyzed and compared to modeled state and national estimates. Statistical analyses, including descriptive comparisons and multivariable regression models, were used to assess differences by sex, race, income, education, rurality, and county-level economic status. Findings revealed that rural participants were significantly less likely to express concern about climate risks, perceive imminent personal or community harm, or support increased local government action compared to national benchmarks. Higher concern was associated with female gender, non-White racial identity, and greater educational attainment. Even though many of the rural and economically distressed counties had experienced significant hurricanes and severe weather events, they reported lower perceived risk and political support. Notably, a high proportion of participants expressed uncertainty about the impacts of climate change and the role of local leaders in addressing them. These results reflect a broader “rural paradox,” where high exposure to environmental threats does not always translate into high perceived risk or engagement. The study underscores the importance of place-based strategies that consider local values, resources, and vulnerabilities. Embedding climate questions within public health surveys provides a scalable method for capturing community-specific insights and informing policies that advance climate resilience, public awareness, and equitable adaptation in underserved areas.", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

After extensive preparation, a dialogue engaged stakeholders and institutions in identifying the actors and interactions influencing stakeholder practices. We found that institutional dynamics and misaligned priorities hinder stakeholders’ opportunity and motivation to adopt safe practices, while their capability (education and skills) is not actively hindered. Knowledge gaps created by top-down approaches and sectoral silos were bridged by engaging participants in conducting the behavioural diagnosis.

Building on the 2020 EO (Promoting American Seafood Competitiveness and Economic Growth), this policy marks a significant escalation in dismantling federal regulatory frameworks, weakening scientific authority, and seemingly sidelining aquaculture development. This paper reflects on our first publication assessing the 2020 EO during the COVID-19 pandemic and evaluates four major areas of comparative concern: (1) regulatory dismantling rather than reform, (2) largely ignoring aquaculture from the national seafood strategy, (3) persistent and deepened data and research infrastructure gaps, and (4) a continued mischaracterization and inconsistency of U.S. seafood sourcing and trade realities. In contrast to science-informed management that enabled the recovery of many U.S. wild stocks, the 2025 EO and other actions reduce the role of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, threatens legal mechanisms for agency expertise (via Chevron deference repeal), and promotes ill-informed deregulatory timelines and actions (e.g., removal of marine protected areas). Aquaculture, the most regulated and underutilized sector, is also overlooked, despite its actual potential to help meet domestic seafood demand. Simultaneously, critical federal databases, climate-focused research, and inter-agency coordination mechanisms are being defunded or removed. Ultimately, weakening evidence-based governance structures and partnerships, as well as voluntarily inducing volatile trade dynamics jeopardize the ecological, economic, and food security benefits of a resilient seafood system, putting America last instead of first.", "license": { "name": "No Creative Commons license", "short_name": "No CC license", "text": "This option allows you to opt out of adding a Creative Commons license to your submission.", "url": "https://escholarship.org" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Aquatic farming" }, { "word": "North America" }, { "word": "policy" }, { "word": "Consumption" }, { "word": "Trade" }, { "word": "Livelihoods" }, { "word": "Shocks" } ], "date_submitted": "2025-04-25T22:13:02.568000Z", "date_accepted": "2025-04-26T12:20:42.045000Z", "date_published": "2025-04-26T12:20:00Z", "doi": null, "preprint_doi": "10.31223/X5GX5Z", "authors": [ { "pk": 107410, "first_name": "Halley", "middle_name": "E.", "last_name": "Froehlich", "salutation": "Prof.", "orcid": "0000-0001-7322-1523" }, { "pk": 107411, "first_name": "Jessica", "middle_name": "A", "last_name": "Gephart", "salutation": "", "orcid": null } ], "subject": [ { "name": "Aquaculture and Fisheries Life Sciences" }, { "name": "Environmental Studies" } ], "files": [ { "original_filename": "Froehlich_preprint.pdf", "mime_type": "application/pdf", "download_url": "/repository/object/9071/download/16930/" } ], "supplementary_files": [] }, { "pk": 9078, "title": "Proactive Tundra Conservation Strategy for a Rapidly Changing Arctic", "abstract": "Warming induced forest expansion, permafrost thaw, and human activities are major drivers affecting the biodiversity and ecosystem functions of the Arctic tundra. While the pace of climate warming is fastest in the Arctic, some important stressors, like forest expansion, seem relatively slow. The slow response might provide the opportunity to safeguard Arctic biodiversity and ecosystem function via a strategic and conservation action, taking future dynamics into account. This strategy requires a comprehensive synthesis of how these pressures may threaten the tundra’s unique biodiversity, its ecosystem functions and services, including its global climate-regulating role, and the sustainability of Indigenous land use. Developing an effective conservation strategy also requires knowledge of past and projected changes across the tundra and a well-coordinated communication process between scientists, Indigenous people and local communities, and further stakeholders.

The climate is an attributable complex system with a main cause, where CO2 concentration serves as the primary fingerprint. The essential dynamics of climate change can be effectively captured through the representation of CO2 concentration. In this study, we analyze global warming in detail, discovering that historical CO2 concentration data can be well described by exponential growth. Extending the simulation of CO2 concentration changes from 2015 to 2500 within the framework of Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), we observe a transition from exponential growth to exponential decay in the later stages. To model this shift, we introduce a modified exponential function. Additionally, by accounting for natural climate variability and examining the correlation between global temperature anomalies and CO2 concentrations, we find that this correlation becomes evident only over the long term. Using this relationship and CO2 concentration data, we generate predictions for global temperature anomalies up to 2500, which can be compared with other models in the literature.", "license": { "name": "CC-BY Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Public License\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

This paper investigates a major factor affecting the accuracy of HQRC data: hysteresis caused by ubiquitous gradually varied flows (GVFs). Although hydrometric agencies apply costly corrections or use other methods to account for this effect, assessing their effectiveness is challenging and largely unknown. Consequently, most HQRC stations operate without accounting for hysteresis-induced error. Motivated by the lack of comparisons between data produced during GVFs by HQRC, HQRC corrections, and multi-variate monitoring methods, this paper evaluates the performance of several methods from each category applied to a range of flows at three gaging stations. Besides quantifying the HQRC uncertainty, we provide guidelines to properly account for it.</p>", "license": { "name": "CC-By Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

CO2, the predominant greenhouse gas, is \nprimarily released through fossil fuel combustion, industrial processes, and deforestation. Its continuous \naccumulation in the atmosphere has led to severe climate disruptions, including rising global temperatures, \nextreme weather events, and ocean acidification. In response, the scientific community and policymakers \nworldwide have turned their focus toward the development of comprehensive CO2 reduction technologies. \nHowever, despite considerable progress, the challenge remains to identify, optimize, and implement these \nmethods on a global scale. This review paper provides a holistic analysis of the current CO2 reduction \ntechnologies, assessing their mechanisms, efficiencies, and scalability. The paper aims to categorize and \nevaluate a broad spectrum of techniques, including CO2 capture, storage, and utilization. By integrating \nboth well-established and emerging technologies, this review presents a complete picture of the existing \nlandscape of CO2 mitigation efforts. The results of this review indicate that while CO2 capture and storage \ntechnologies offer immediate potential to curb emissions, their high costs and energy demands pose \nsignificant challenges to widespread adoption. On the other hand, utilization methods, particularly the \nconversion of CO2 into fuels and chemicals, demonstrate promising economic prospects but are still limited \nby technological barriers. Ultimately, this paper highlights the need for a multifaceted approach that \ncombines technological innovation, policy support, and international collaboration to achieve long-term \ncarbon neutrality.

Fragility and vulnerability functions provide quantitative approaches for assessing impacts and can be used in conjunction with damage states to forecast likely impacts pre- and post-eruption. Fragility functions quantify the probability of reaching specific damage states, while vulnerability functions express mean damage or function loss. Despite challenges including limited data availability and discrepancies in hazard intensity measurements, these functions serve as critical links between hazard and risk assessments, informing disaster preparedness and response efforts and finding application in the insurance industry.

To prepare for future tsunamis, scientists run computer simulations to estimate how big the waves might be and how often they could happen. These simulations are used to make maps and design buildings that can withstand tsunami impacts. Most of these models assume that when an earthquake breaks a fault this happens all at once. But in reality, earthquakes unfold over time—sometimes taking several minutes to rupture hundreds of miles of fault. This study shows that the way an earthquake a fault (called \"rupture kinematics\") can change the size and timing of the tsunami waves that reach faraway places, like Hawaii or the U.S. West Coast. By modeling thousands of possible earthquakes along Alaska’s subduction zone, we found that accounting for the way earthquakes move along the fault can make the tsunami waves significantly larger—especially for very big earthquakes. In some cases, ignoring this time evolution could underestimate the impacts by 30\\% or more. This means current tsunami hazard assessments may be biased low. To better prepare for future tsunamis, we recommend updating how these assessments are done to include more realistic earthquake behavior.</p>", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

However, this study explores whether there are any predictable aspects of the rupture process from the initial P-wave. We propose that the moment-normalized duration of an earthquake negatively correlates with its initial stress drop, which is measured from the slope (parameter B) of the acceleration record shortly after onset. Since 2007, B has been used in the Japanese earthquake early warning system as an indicator of epicentral distance, yet it also provides deeper insights into earthquake dynamics and wave propagation. Utilizing high-sensitivity seismograms from approximately 800 borehole stations in Hi-net and combining manually picked P-wave arrival times and focal mechanisms for about 1800 earthquakes, we estimate B for each station and earthquake pair within a 0.1 s window. We confirm that B decreases from the square to the fourth power of the P-wave travel time, a phenomenon not explainable by simple geometric decay or intrinsic attenuation alone. Residuals between observed values and travel time dependencies are further decomposed into event and site terms, alongside radiation pattern dependency, which is close to a power of 0.5—possibly reflecting complex rupture processes that begin at a minute scale. The event term primarily represents the initial stress drop, showing minimal dependency on final size and a clear dependency on event depth, mirroring observations of average stress drop. This term also shows a statistically significant correlation with the moment-normalized duration estimated independently using S-waves, suggesting limited predictability of the rupture process. The site terms, which correlate with tectonic structure, help reduce errors in estimating arrival times, especially for nearby earthquakes, thus offering practical benefits for early warning systems.</p>", "license": { "name": "No Creative Commons license", "short_name": "No CC license", "text": "This option allows you to opt out of adding a Creative Commons license to your submission.", "url": "https://escholarship.org" }, "keywords": [], "date_submitted": "2025-04-30T00:40:39.797000Z", "date_accepted": "2025-05-02T12:47:48.911000Z", "date_published": "2025-05-02T12:46:00Z", "doi": null, "preprint_doi": "10.31223/X5WX5P", "authors": [ { "pk": 107570, "first_name": "Satoshi", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Ide", "salutation": "Dr", "orcid": "0000-0003-0063-548X" }, { "pk": 107572, "first_name": "Keisuke", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Yoshida", "salutation": "", "orcid": null } ], "subject": [ { "name": "Physical Sciences and Mathematics" } ], "files": [ { "original_filename": "BSSA-D-24-00282_arxiv.pdf", "mime_type": "application/pdf", "download_url": "/repository/object/9096/download/16967/" }, { "original_filename": "BSSA-D-24-00282_arxiv2.pdf", "mime_type": "application/pdf", "download_url": "/repository/object/9096/download/16987/" } ], "supplementary_files": [] }, { "pk": 9097, "title": "Reliability of Contrast-Based Automated Fracture Detection from Decimeter Resolution Aerial Imagery", "abstract": "Aerial imagery that captures outcrop exposures of rocks enables the characterization of structural discontinuities such as faults and fractures across large and difficult-to-access areas. These datasets provide an opportunity to analyze the characteristics of fault and fracture networks as analogues for the subsurface. The application of automated interpretation methods to imagery has the potential to reduce subjectivity, increase efficiency, and improve reproducibility. While these methods are commonly used with high-resolution images, the widespread availability of decimeter-resolution imagery, means that demonstrating the reliability of automated methods with decimeter resolution data could significantly extend their application. This study investigates the reliability of two automated fracture detection methods using decimeter resolution imagery and specifically the methods’ sensitivity to contrast between rock mass and fractures.\nThe results indicate that: 1) at lower contrast thresholds, the average feature length increases while the number of feature intersections decreases; 2) extracted features demonstrate reduced robustness in discontinuous outcrop exposures. It is crucial to note that these findings presume a scenario where the rock mass exhibits high contrast, and fractures are characterized by low contrast. The findings demonstrate that automated feature detection is reproducible but currently produces very unreliable results. The use of these methods requires a detailed understanding of how image properties and the parameters defined in detection method impact the resultant features detected. The use of automated methods with decimeter resolution imagery requires a clearly defined criteria to quality check the results.", "license": { "name": "CC-By Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

This paper builds on previous work assessing the extent of vulnerable water pipes in a severe ASRS, and assesses the feasibility of two methods of pipe protection: (i) piling soil above the pipes, and (ii) installing electrical resistive heat cables around pipes. Total vulnerable pipe length is expected to be 5.4-8.8 million km affecting over 2 billion people, with peak freeze depths exceeding 30 m. In several assessed scenarios, soil piling is expected to take 113-141 days and leave 0.32-0.64 million km of pipelines damaged, affecting 161 million people. Heat cables could be installed where soil piling is impractical, such as where pipes are beneath critical roads, but heat cable production is expected to be sufficient for less than 1% of vulnerable pipes. Implications for local, national, and international response planning are discussed, and potential directions for future research are identified, including improved quantification of the extent of subterranean infrastructure, analysis of direct damage from an ASRS-causing event, and exploration of alternative infrastructure protection methods.", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Radiocarbon dating, uranium-thorium analysis, and soil pedogenesis studies were conducted on archaeological and speleological features including the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun, the Pyramid of the Moon, and the Ravne tunnel networks. Results suggest construction and usage of these structures as early as 33,800 years BP, with corroborating stratigraphic and geological indicators. The presence of architectural elements beneath undisturbed soil layers and stalagmites over tunnel floors reinforces their antiquity. These findings contribute to the growing evidence of organized human activity in Southeastern Europe during the Late Pleistocene.

Recent guidance recommends incorporating landslide runout models along with climate change implications when assessing land for development. The advancement of machine learning (ML) techniques can offer new insights and a tool to be used alongside current methods. A range of data inputs from land-use, remote observations, and field measurements can all be used for training models and as inputs to landslide runout predictions. Modelling potential landslide runout scenarios requires extensive volumes of data. A ML trained model has been developed to map landslide runout direction and distance for a case study in Hawke Bay, New Zealand following rainstorm events in January 2023 and then cyclone Gabrielle February. A steepest path hydrological flow path model was developed alongside the ML approach for landslide direction. Ten thousand landslide runouts were used in the training along with features engineered from a 1 m resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The results show the model is capable of predicting expected runout distances with a reasonable degree of accuracy. To improve the results and create a probabilistic output for hazard mapping a stochastic parameter should be incorporated into the model along with additional disposing factors such as vegetation density, source size and topographic wetness. The hydrological flow path model performed better than the ML direction model in certain scenarios which is most likely due to the large amount of precipitation as the trigger causing high water content debris flows and debris floods. This highlights the inherent complexity of modelling landslide debris trails and why a probabilistic monte-carlo modelling approach will be best placed for quantifying the uncertainty into a hazard map.</p>", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Traditional methods rely on arrays of seismic sensors arranged in specific patterns, but deploying these arrays can be challenging or impossible in many environments, such as cities, ocean floors, mountains, or other planets. We present an alternative solution: a single-station system that measures six-component (6C) ground motions to determine the direction of seismic sources. Using a collocated seismometer and rotational sensor, we simultaneously record both translational and rotational ground motions to determine the direction of vehicle sources from a single 6C station. The 6C approach not only maintains a small footprint but also extracts directional information from both Rayleigh and Love waves. We validate our method by comparing results from different types of rotational sensors and conventional array-based techniques, including frequency-wavenumber analysis and array-derived rotation. Our findings confirm the 6C method's capability to accurately locate vehicle sources while offering advantages over traditional array deployments, particularly in challenging environments where multiple sensor installations are impractical. The successful application to traffic monitoring demonstrates the method's potential for broader applications, including real-time seismic monitoring and geohazard early warning systems.

Integrating geodetic, geomorphological, geological, archaeological, electromagnetic, and geometrical data, the analysis examines whether the formation’s distinctive features can be fully explained by natural processes or whether anthropogenic activity may have played a role in its current structure. High-resolution topographic surveys reveal precise orientation of the northern slope toward true north, within ±0° 0′ 12″, comparable to other ancient pyramid structures. Remote sensing and LiDAR data show symmetry and uniformity in slope angles, while archaeological excavation over multiple field seasons has uncovered artificially arranged large blocks composed of breccia, clay binders, and sandstone — exhibiting compressive strength exceeding that of modern concrete. Geophysical measurements detect consistent emissions in the 28–30 kHz range and unusual electromagnetic behavior, especially during lunar events. Geometrical overlays, including Fibonacci spirals and Golden Ratio proportions, further highlight intentional design. These multiple lines of evidence are evaluated in support of the hypothesis that the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun represents a large-scale, artificially enhanced formation with unknown function, possibly rooted in pre-classical engineering and geospatial knowledge. These observations align with previous findings in comparative spiral geometry research involving both Egyptian and Bosnian pyramids (Osmanagić 2025).", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

I arrange some of the processes in a new succession in which the presence of water is given greater consideration. Biomineralisation is a fundamental process for the origin of solid rocks. When the planetary embryo of the Earth developed, the shapes of the Precambrian shields were not only formed by physical and chemical processes. Colonies of procaryotes gave organic shapes to the early continents. Their biogenic sediments were transformed by pressure from collisions or heat due to intrusion. With an early beginning of life, the early Earth was a planetary embryo in the astronomical and biological sense. The Earth formation and the evolutionary history of life were not separate processes, but they were intertwined. Otto Ampferer (1925) suggested as initial cause for the break-up of the Pangea the emergence of the Moon. My hypothesis includes findings in geomorphology and plate tectonics that indicate the area where the Moon came out of the Earth, explaining the imbalance in the distribution of land masses and oceans.

We conducted a shallow (<50m) geo-electric survey on the Reykjanes geothermal area and identified zones of high and low activity, and the presence of shallow sealing structures (<20m) prohibiting the surface expression of hydrothermal activity, demonstrating that shallow structures can act as a proxy for deep processes.

Importantly, these large scale global and regional scale climatic events have strong unexpected impacts on coupled human and natural systems at local scales. One of the strongest negative IOD events ever recorded occurred in 2016 and induced downwelling, decreased chlorophyl-a, and reductions in small pelagic fisheries in Java and Sumatra regions of Indonesia. Here, we use a digital daily catch data collection system to characterize the diversity and volume of fish catches coming from the small-scale fisheries of the Myeik archipelago in Myanmar before, during, and after this 2016 IOD. Unlike Java and Sumatra, total catch (Kg) of pelagic, reef, and demersal fishes increased through 2016 as the negative IOD intensified. Demersal fish accounted for a larger increase in catch than pelagic or reef fish in 2016, but total catches from all three habitats began to decrease in January 2017 as the dipole weakened, with many taxa becoming uncommon or absent by the end of 2017. These data are counter intuitive as negative dipole events are typically associated with reduced productivity in the eastern Indian Ocean. However, the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea was buffered from the strongest temperature increases. The increase in landings in Myanmar might have stemmed from northern migration of species to cooler more productive waters in the less impacted Andaman Sea. As climate change intensifies, we need to determine how fish populations respond to variable climatic events. The IOD cycle might function as a recurring phenomenon with locally predictable effects that can inform an ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management to help ensure the long-term sustainability of this coupled human and natural system.", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Using a 25-year record (2000–2024) of multi-source satellite and climate data, we modeled monthly trends in five key variables: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Bare Soil Index (BSI), precipitation, and maximum and minimum air temperatures. Five supervised learning algorithms were trained and validated using univariate time-series features: Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Dense Neural Network (DNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and a hybrid LSTM–XGBoost ensemble. Among these, the hybrid model demonstrated superior performance with R² values exceeding 0.99 for NDVI and BSI and ≥0.95 for temperature variables, while maintaining robust generalization for seasonal precipitation anomalies. Google Earth Engine is used to generate forecasts for 2030, yielding spatially explicit raster predictions for all variables. Model outputs indicated relatively stable conditions between 2024 and 2030, with localized environmental stress persisting in peri-urban and low-vegetation zones. To validate model interpretability and operational relevance, a two-stage participatory process was conducted with 28 urban stakeholders through structured interviews and a validation workshop. Survey results indicated that 72% of participants rated the forecasts as “useful” or “very useful” for urban planning, while 64% found the NDVI and temperature maps “understandable” without specialized training. Thematic analysis highlighted accessibility, local specificity, and trust in AI forecasts as key factors influencing user acceptance. These findings support the scalability of the proposed GeoAI framework and its alignment with planning priorities in climate-stressed urban environments of the Global South.", "license": { "name": "CC-BY Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-NC-SA 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Recent methodological advances such as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), LiDAR topography, and Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating now allow for high-resolution reconstructions of these past coastal dynamics, significantly improving our understanding of historical shoreline evolution. Using new GPR and existing LIDAR and OSL ages, we investigate the evolution of the Apalachicola Barrier Island Complex in northwest Florida during the Pleistocene including the Last Interglacial (MIS 5e, ~125 ka). Paleogeographic reconstructions show significant barrier morphological changes, including island segmentation and deltaic interactions over multiple highstands including not only MIS5e but potentially older highstands (e.g. MIS7 or older). We find evidence within the Apalachicola complex for two distinct phases of beach ridge growth potentially linked to early and late MIS 5e sea-level highstands, separated by an erosional unconformity marking a mid-MIS 5e regression and fluvial incision, potentially marking an oscillation in MIS5e sea levels. GPR profiles also record multiple buried storm scarps, indicating major storms approximately every 76years, assuming similar progradation rates during MIS5e as during the Holocene. Furthermore, the potential oscillation in RSL at this site in the Gulf of Mexico adds to recent suggestions of a regrowth of the Antarctic Ice Sheet following its collapse during late MIS5e.</p>", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Establishing a definitive chronological boundary beyond which modern pollen analogs remain reliable is currently unfeasible. This limitation affects not only paleoenvironmental reconstructions based on the niche conservatism hypothesis for individual extant species, but also community- and biome-level reconstructions that assume compositional and environmental constancy over time. This paper discusses several case studies from the European Neogene—focusing on individual species, communities, and biomes—where the use of modern pollen analogs under the untested assumption of niche conservatism is common. These studies include: (1) quantitative paleoclimatic estimations using the climatic envelope of extant species, (2) comparisons between Middle Miocene European mangroves and present-day Middle-East mangrove communities, and (3) the use of Artemisia pollen as an indicator of dry steppe biomes and (4) the occurrence of taxodiaceous coastal marsh forests in Europe after the Miocene Climatic Optimum. The main conclusion is that assuming species' niche conservatism and extrapolating this assumption to communities and biomes is unwarranted and may lead to unsupported conclusions. Therefore, empirical testing of species’ niche conservatism across the relevant time spans is essential. Alternative and complementary methods—such as the fossil community approach and the use of pollen-independent proxies (e.g., stable isotopes, biomarkers)—are strongly recommended.</p>", "license": { "name": "CC BY Attribution 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Where a limitation of liability is not allowed in full or in part, this limitation may not apply to You.\r\nThe disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability.\r\nSection 6 – Term and Termination.\r\n\r\nThis Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License terminate automatically.\r\nWhere Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under Section 6(a), it reinstates:\r\n\r\nautomatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or\r\nupon express reinstatement by the Licensor.\r\nFor the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of this Public License.\r\nFor the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so will not terminate this Public License.\r\nSections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public License.\r\nSection 7 – Other Terms and Conditions.\r\n\r\nThe Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.\r\nAny arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the Licensed Material not stated herein are separate from and independent of the terms and conditions of this Public License.\r\nSection 8 – Interpretation.\r\n\r\nFor the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and shall not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose conditions on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully be made without permission under this Public License.\r\nTo the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
