We assessed the accuracy and precision of the calculated pressure of vapor saturation and equilibrium vapor composition using various H2O-CO2 solubility models implemented in VESIcal (Dixon, Liu, IaconoMarziano, ShishkinaIdealMixing, and MagmaSat) using a dataset containing 770 vapor-saturated experimental glasses. Experimental and analytical uncertainties were included but model errors were not considered. Across each models’ full calibration range, pressure of vapor saturation calculations using IaconoMarziano and MagmaSat are accurate, whilst Dixon, Liu, and ShishkinaIdealMixing, are quite inaccurate, and all are relatively imprecise. Most models except ShishkinaIdealMixing are accurate for vapor composition, but all are relatively imprecise. Both accuracy and precision for each model tend to be better for specific melt compositions within the range of experimental pressure-temperature conditions. Hence, for application to natural systems, it is important to assess the accuracy and precision of H2O-CO2 solubility models using experimental data that are closely matched to the system of interest.", "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 evening dust peak (EDP) has been documented for decades, but comprehensive long-term studies examining its meteorological drivers are very limited. While laboratory and field-scale investigations have demonstrated that feedlot surface moisture strongly influences dust emissions, direct moisture measurements are labor-intensive, limiting their operational utility. This study presents a novel framework for estimating feedlot surface moisture conditions using readily available meteorological data by adapting the Hot-Dry-Windy Index (HDW). An empirical water balance model integrating HDW with precipitation inputs was developed to characterize the dynamic interplay between atmospheric drying demand and moisture availability. Under the driest surface conditions, HDW explained 43% of the variability in evening PM₁₀ concentrations (R² = 0.433, r = 0.658, p < 0.001), demonstrating substantial predictive capability when atmospheric drying demand is the primary driver of emission potential. Using a comprehensive 10-year dataset, we quantified EDP characteristics and their relationship with meteorological conditions. Results confirm that the dust concentration in the evening hours consistently contributes 40-60% of 24-hour cumulative emitted mass of PM10 concentration. Analysis of atmospheric stability effects, characterized by vertical temperature gradients, revealed that temperature inversion alone cannot cause elevated dust concentrations but rather modulate the dispersion of emissions driven primarily by animal activity. These findings indicate that robust operational dust prediction models require animal activity parameters to describe emission mechanisms comprehensively.", "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": "Cattle" }, { "word": "Feedlot Dust" }, { "word": "Particulate Matter" }, { "word": "Hot-Dry-Windy Index" }, { "word": "Evening Dust Peak" }, { "word": "Atmospheric Stability" } ], "date_submitted": "2026-04-21T20:14:54.773952+06:00", "date_accepted": "2026-04-21T20:30:16.723287+06:00", "date_published": "2026-04-21T20:30:00+06:00", "doi": null, "preprint_doi": "10.31223/X5Z78J", "authors": [ { "pk": 127836, "first_name": "Sirapoom", "middle_name": "\"Ross\"", "last_name": "Peanusaha", "salutation": "Dr", "orcid": "0009-0002-4746-063X" }, { "pk": 135581, "first_name": "Guillermo", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Marcillo", "salutation": "", "orcid": null }, { "pk": 135579, "first_name": "Brent", "middle_name": "W", "last_name": "Auvermann", "salutation": "", "orcid": null } ], "subject": [ { "name": "Agriculture" }, { "name": "Animal Sciences" }, { "name": "Bioresource and Agricultural Engineering" }, { "name": "Civil and Environmental Engineering" }, { "name": "Engineering" }, { "name": "Environmental Engineering" }, { "name": "Environmental Sciences" }, { "name": "Life Sciences" }, { "name": "Physical Sciences and Mathematics" } ], "files": [ { "original_filename": "TEOM evening dust peak paper draft VEarthArxiv.pdf", "mime_type": "application/pdf", "download_url": "/repository/object/12721/download/22600/" } ], "supplementary_files": [] }, { "pk": 10604, "title": "A Vision for Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in Great Lakes Research and Management", "abstract": "<p>The Laurentian Great Lakes are a vital freshwater resource and a regionally significant natural system facing complex, persistent, and compounding challenges from climate change, nutrient loading, and invasive species. The increasing availability of observational data, coupled with advances in computational power and machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) methods, presents an opportunity to address these challenges by improving data integration and enabling powerful data-driven models. This perspective article outlines a broad vision for applying AI in Great Lakes research and management. We review the current state of AI efforts across several key topic areas and propose a cross-disciplinary roadmap focused on advanced modeling, multi-modal data fusion, and operational forecasting. Realizing this vision will require sustained investment in open data infrastructure, shared computational resources, and inter-institutional collaboration. If successful, this roadmap will accelerate research progress, improve decision-support tools, and enhance the resilience and sustainability of the region’s interconnected ecological and economic foundations.</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\").

Recent experimental work has demonstrated that the algae Chlorella sp. strain SLA-04 achieves high productivity in extreme alkaline growth media (pH greater than 10), where the solution chemistry enables direct capture of atmospheric CO₂, eliminating the need for costly CO₂ sparging. The extreme alkaline medium also provides resistance to microbial contamination and culture crashes. Despite these promising experimental results, the commercial-scale economic and environmental implications of this cultivation approach have not yet been assessed. Here we present the first integrated Techno Economic Analysis (TEA)/Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of high pH-high alkalinity production, driven by 500 stochastic simulations of 20-year weather and market conditions. We compare four SLA-04 cultivation scenarios against a baseline strain cultivation scenario with Nannochloropsis oceanica and sparged CO₂. These scenarios also include the first incorporation of Trona, a naturally occurring carbonate mineral and the primary domestic source of bicarbonate in the United States, into our TEA/LCA framework as a low-cost alternative to commercial NaHCO₃ for establishing the high-alkalinity growth medium. Our results indicate that the SLA-04-Trona scenario reduces operating expenses by 60% per gallon relative to the baseline, and SLA-04 exhibits lower production variability across all seasons. The high pH-high alkalinity cultivation method also reduces the carbon intensity of algal biofuel by approximately 40%, achieving values below corn-based ethanol. These findings provide the first quantitative evidence that high pH-high alkalinity cultivation can substantially improve both the economics and environmental footprint of commercial-scale algal biofuel production.", "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\").

Yet accurate forecasting remains challenging because generation is governed not only by hydrology but by complex institutional rules, environmental regulations, and infrastructure constraints. This study demonstrates that a rules-based systems modeling approach, one that explicitly integrates water allocation institutions, operational constraints, and hydrological variability, produces significantly more accurate and financially valuable hydropower forecasts than purely statistical methods. This framework is applied to California's Central Valley Project (CVP) using CALFEWS, an open-source daily timestep rules-based model of the Central Valley, extended here to include the Trinity River Diversion System and its evolving environmental flow regulations. CALFEWS is validated against 20 years of operational hydropower data (2003–2023), achieving r² = 0.84 for monthly CVP hydropower generation. Herein, we develop a 12 month two-stage October–April hydropower forecasting approach, initialized with October storage conditions and historical climatology, that incorporates water year type classification in April. The resulting forecasts achieve high fidelity, nearly matching the skill of simulations with perfect inflow foresight. Compared to statistical baselines, CALFEWS reduces hydropower forecast errors by 40% (RMSE) and hydropower financial losses relative to historic baselines by 20% ($75–115 million over a decade). While demonstrated for the CVP, the framework is directly transferable to any multi-objective reservoir system where institutional rules and competing water demands govern hydropower generation, a condition common across the U.S. and globally.

Founded in 1982 as a joint venture between UK academic institutions and the structural engineering profession, and hosted by the Institution of Structural Engineers, EEFIT has operated throughout as an academia-industry collaboration in which the boundary between research and practice is intentionally permeable, by design enabling cross-pollination between academic enquiry and engineering practice. This paper examines EEFIT’s methodological evolution across three empirically grounded phases, tracing both the innovations that have proved durable and the tensions and limitations that remain unresolved.\n\nWe identify three phases: an Engineering Core phase (1982-c.1999) characterised by analogue fieldwork and structural diagnostics; a Expansion and Development phase (2000-c.2019) marked by the integration of tsunami and multi-hazard (including earthquake-induced landslide) reconnaissance, institutionalised socioeconomic analysis, the introduction of return missions, and progressive demographic diversification; and a Methodological Overhaul phase (2020-present), initially precipitated by COVID-19 travel restrictions but sustained and deepened by financial constraints, politically fragile operational environments, and the absence of diplomatic access in several affected countries. All of these factors have made conventional international field deployment impractical or impossible and elevated the strategic importance of remote reconnaissance capabilities. A further driver has been the growing recognition that remote sensing is not merely an operational substitute for fieldwork but an important analytical component, with field data increasingly understood as validating and shaping RS tools in a two-way methodological dialogue rather than RS serving as a one-directional supplement to field observation. Local collaboration and embedded co-production with in-country partners has become the norm in this phase. Alternative data sources - social media analytics, community enumeration platforms, crowdsourced imagery - are actively explored but remain an open research question (Aktas and So, 2022).\n\nThroughout these phases, team size, international composition, women’s participation, and early-career researcher involvement have grown substantially, though unevenly. Methodological innovations have extended coverage and enabled new research questions, while also introducing challenges of validation, data quality, and sovereignty that the field has not fully resolved. The EEFIT archive, read critically, offers one of the more sustained longitudinal accounts of methodological change in international post-earthquake reconnaissance, and its open questions are as instructive as its achievements.", "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 RUSLE model, with adjustments in the P factor derived from local farmer interviews, was used to estimate annual soil loss using QGIS 3.43. Initially, the estimated annual soil loss was 2,210.87 tons/year for Bgy. Masalukot IV and 1,398.51 tons/year for Bgy. Masalukot V. After adjusting the P values, the total annual soil loss decreased to 1,375.49 tons/year and 878.47 tons/year for Bgy. Bgys. Masalukot IV and V, respectively, representing reductions of 37.79% and 36.96%. Slope and soil erodibility significantly impact soil erosion, with steeper slopes and higher K-values leading to increased loss, while perennial crops offer better protection than annuals. Integrating multiple conservation practices, especially a combination of six, proves most effective in reducing soil loss. Recommended conservation practices show that terracing is highly effective on steep slopes, while contouring works well on gentler terrain, emphasizing the need for site-specific and integrated soil conservation strategies.

Here, we report the first characterisation of P-band scattering mechanisms over the Lower Shire Valley (LSV) floodplain, southern Malawi. A single quad-polarimetric acquisition, collected at the onset of the rainy season in November 2025, was subjected to eigenvector-eigenvalue decomposition (entropy H, anisotropy A, and mean alpha angle), alongside radar vegetation index, model-based Van Zyl and Yamaguchi four-component decompositions. Across the study area, surface scattering constitutes the dominant backscatter mechanism, reflecting both the prevalence of bare soil within the landscape and the capacity of P-band wavelength to penetrate vegetation canopies and interact with the underlying surface. Volume scattering represents the second most significant contribution, associated with forested areas, shrubland, hectare-scale cropland, and dense wetland vegetation. Double-bounce returns are the least prevalent, confined principally to the built-up area. Of the polarimetric parameters examined, alpha angle emerges as the most diagnostic for discriminating bare land from vegetation classes. However, no single parameter fully resolves all vegetation cover types in isolation, though H shows potential in this regard. These results furnish a physical baseline for future Biomass acquisitions over the LSV. As such, this work serves as a primer for the retrieval of key vegetation, water and soil parameters, such as surface soil moisture, sub-canopy flood inundation, and aboveground biomass.</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\").

Here we present a machine learning-based framework that integrates continuous, low-cost physico-chemical proxies with sparse ‘anchoring’ solute measurements to reconstruct hourly-scale variations in major dissolved metals and nutrients. Validated across three contrasting catchments, we demonstrate that daily to semi-weekly sampling suffice to achieve accurate reconstructions (NSE > 0.75), though sampling demand varies considerably across hydrological regimes. Prediction of nutrients (e.g. NO₃⁻ and K⁺) may require more frequent anchoring observations under stormflow conditions. Reconstruction accuracy is sustained even under multi-week voids in anchoring observations, demonstrating resilience to commonplace logistical disruptions. We complement this framework with a novel gap imputation method based on Singular Spectrum Analysis to address missing data in proxy time series, which outperforms traditional gap-filling approaches. Our results support a scalable, low-maintenance strategy that enables a >95% reduction in operational costs and carbon emissions associated with high-frequency monitoring; and provide a transferable, hydrological regime-specific roadmap for optimizing field sampling that minimizes logistical burden while maintaining reconstruction accuracy.", "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 carbon model carries the resulting group level suitable areas into a simplified Tier 2 assessment with conservative, central, and high parameter settings for sequestration and stock terms. Under the RF1 baseline, cumulative group level suitable area reached 47,997.312 ha.

The RF1 central carbon outcome was 22.09 million t CO2e over 30 years, with a conservative to high range of 18.83 to 25.27 million t CO2e. Across all scenarios, central carbon outcomes ranged from 16.40 million t CO2e in RF4 to 23.38 million t CO2e in SC1. These results show that the framework is not merely a mapping exercise.

Shear waves that diffract along the core-mantle boundary (CMB) are ideally suited for probing this region due to their long horizontal ray paths in the lowermost mantle. However, the inference of D″ anisotropy presents multiple methodological challenges, including the need for accurate upper mantle corrections and the potential for apparent splitting produced by isotropic structures. In this study, we leverage global wavefield simulations to develop an automated measurement procedure that excludes Sdiff waves that are strongly SVdiff-polarized, which can lead to apparent splitting even in the absence of seismic anisotropy. We apply this workflow to a global dataset of ~20 million three-component seismograms. By adhering to strict quality control criteria, we generate a highly regionally consistent dataset of high-confidence measurements. Overall, we obtain ~4,300 Sdiff splitting measurements that constrain the presence or absence of D″ anisotropy. We project these measurements onto the D″ layer and report Sdiff splitting across 237 global geographic bins (approximately 28 per cent of the D″ layer by surface area) with sufficient data coverage. Of these, 55 bins exhibit clear splitting, many of which are located beneath the northern Pacific. Furthermore, we characterize the directional dependence of splitting using a backazimuth binning algorithm for regions with multi-directional coverage.

This is particularly useful for inference of past climate from relict dunes or the sedimentary record, and for climate conditions where direct observation is challenging on Earth or other planets. However, to date, there has been no complete and accurate digital map of the occurrence of Earth's sand dunes with distinguishable morphologies. Here we present that map and use it to demonstrate quantitatively that in arid environments dune presence is mostly explained by convergent transport and source proximity, whereas in more humid climates wind strength is an additional constraint. By limiting our analysis to dunes with morphologies discernible from global publicly available imagery and topographic data, we produce a consistent dataset which can be used to infer myriad aspects of geology and climate, and improve understanding of processes in, and development of, aeolian landscapes. We provide an example, using the orientation of barchan dunes, to demonstrate a trade-off between inference of sediment and wind characteristics.</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\").

The unavailability of a cross-database bibliometric perspective on carbon neutrality since Paris Agreement adoption created a wide opportunity to explore new knowledge. Therefore, this study aimed to present a comprehensive visualization and analysis of carbon neutrality research from the Scopus database. For acquiring data, we use the PRISMA Protocol by considering factors such as search period, document type and source, language, and keywords. This led to 1,017 data samples processed using VOS viewer and R-tools. The results showed that publication trends, recent analyses, journals, authors, institutions, and countries contributed the most to carbon neutrality research. We explore the areas and topics under investigation and conclude future research opportunities through thematic analysis, including historical development process, research hotspots, and research frontiers. We identified carbon neutrality, renewable energy, green innovation, green hydrogen, and electric vehicles as emerging areas that need more attention.

Previous studies have shown that loading schemes may affect long-term system behavior, including earthquake recurrence intervals. However, the effects of loading schemes on rupture characteristics and off-fault deformation patterns remain poorly understood, particularly for non-planar dipping faults. Here, we systematically compare three loading schemes for a curved megathrust. In \"parallel loading\", we prescribe far-field velocities on the sides of a parallelogram-shaped domain aligned with the deep fault root. In \"side push loading\", we prescribe horizontal shortening. In \"subducting slab loading\", we prescribe a constant velocity at the bottom of the subducting plate. We find that earthquake sequences are similar under parallel and side push loading schemes, whereas additional complexity emerges under subducting slab loading, exhibiting different recurrence intervals, average slip, and stress drops. Parallel and side push loading schemes result in a long-term accumulation of vertical displacements and fault-normal stresses, which is mitigated under subducting slab loading. Among the three loading methods, subducting slab loading scheme produces deformation patterns most consistent with geodetic observations, including surface displacements due to earthquakes, afterslip, and slow slip events. We further examine the effects of domain length, slab thickness, and material heterogeneities on simulated rupture characteristics and deformation patterns.

Here, we quantify changes in temperature extremes across 14 mainland ACZs during 1951–2025 using the India Meteorological Department 1°×1° gridded daily dataset. We compute 22 indices, including 11 ETCCDI metrics, 7 India-specific thresholds, and 4 crop-specific growing degree day (GDD) indices, and assess trends using the Mann–Kendall test with trend-free pre-whitening and Sen’s slope estimator. Tropical Nights (TR20; Tmin ≥ 20 °C) exhibit the most spatially coherent increase, with significant trends in 10 of 12 Tier A/B zones, peaking in the Western Dry Region (ACZ-14; +3.182 days decade⁻¹; p < 0.05). Warm-day frequency (TX90p) increases significantly in 9 zones, with strongest trends in the Southern Plateau (+2.962% decade⁻¹), East Coast Plains (+2.940% decade⁻¹), and West Coast Plains and Ghats (+2.917% decade⁻¹). Diurnal temperature range declines in 8 zones, indicating faster warming of minimum than maximum temperatures across Gangetic, arid, and interior plateau regions, while coastal and southern plateau zones show daytime-dominant warming. Seasonal thermal accumulation intensifies, with significant increases in rabi wheat GDD in the Trans-Gangetic Plain (+11.130 GDD decade⁻¹) and Gujarat Plains (+21.625 GDD decade⁻¹). Temporal analysis identifies 2001–2025 as the warmest 25-year period in the 1951–2025 record across most ACZs. These results provide the first comprehensive ACZ-level ETCCDI characterisation of India's 75-year thermal extreme record, revealing spatially heterogeneous warming with pronounced nocturnal intensification across the Gangetic and arid zones and daytime-dominant warming in coastal and southern plateau zones, with direct relevance for agricultural adaptation planning.\n", "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, the intensity and variability of chemical weathering remain insufficiently constrained for the mid-Proterozoic (~1.8‒0.8 Ga), greatly limiting our understanding of the environmental context to early eukaryotic evolution. Here, we report the first coupled positive seawater 87Sr/86Sr (~0.0007) and δ7Li (~5‰) isotope excursions of the Mesoproterozoic Era (1.6‒1.0 Ga), which we argue signifies a substantial weathering event at ~1.57 Ga, characterised by increased silicate weathering rates and decreased weathering congruency. Drawing on independent geological evidence, we posit that enhanced volcanic CO2 degassing, possibly alongside accretional orogenesis, increased denudation rates and invigorated the hydrological cycle, amplifying silicate weathering and secondary clay formation.

Where stations or earthquakes are present, fast splitting directions are often parallel to the nearest trench, which has yet to be fully understood and reconciled with geodynamic flow predictions. Here we use a novel technique that leverages surface-reflected PS and PPS waves to overcome limitations in coverage beneath the Philippine Sea Plate, which is surrounded on all sides by subducting slabs. Upper mantle deformation in this region, best explained by mantle flow below 250 km depth, is generally different from the absolute plate motion direction and instead shaped by the surrounding subduction zones. We interpret our observations as likely evidence for trench-parallel flow in the mantle wedge beneath the Ryukyu, Nankai, and parts of the Izu-Bonin subduction zones, as well as toroidal flow around the Ryukyu and Mariana slab edges. Beneath the Pacific Plate, near the Mariana subduction zone, flow is trench-perpendicular. Our results are generally consistent with flow patterns predicted by previous geodynamic models, and provide a new constraint on subduction-driven deformation in the region.", "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\").

While this limitation is acceptable in 2D ERT, it can be significant in 3D settings with complex geometry and strong resistivity contrasts. To address this issue, we propose an approach to determining the total magnitude and direction of the horizontal electric field. Access to such vector information may provide a more representative characterization of the local surface response in complex 3D settings. Because this requires non-collinear measurements, a corresponding basis for consistent apparent-resistivity calculation is also needed. We therefore introduce a generalized geometric factor based on field-aligned virtual points (FAViPs), defined by the primary-field direction in a homogeneous medium, to provide a physically consistent basis for non-collinear horizontal measurements. Because these points are defined at an arbitrary measurement location, the resulting geometric factor can be applied to non-collinear electrode arrays in irregular survey geometries. By formalizing these basic physical principles, this work provides a theoretical basis for horizontal-vector measurements in 3D ERT. While practical implementation may be limited by current field logistics, this approach offers a theoretical option for 3D surveys involving complex environments where more flexible electrode configurations may be beneficial.</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\").

Whether their carbon uptake is governed by universal drivers or by site-specific boundary conditions remains unresolved. Using more than two decades of eddy-covariance and multi-depth soil moisture measurements from two climatic end-members of evergreen needleleaf forests, Hyytiälä, Finland (Boreal) and Yatir, Israel (semi-arid Mediterranean), we isolate the ecophysiological controls on carbon uptake by restricting the analysis to photosynthetically active radiation (PAR)-saturated conditions and explicitly separating seasonal dynamics from daily residual variability. For each dataset, we apply Random Forest modelling (tested against baseline Generalized Linear & Additive Models) with SHAP analysis to identify dominant drivers and environmental thresholds.\n\nAt the seasonal scale, NEP was governed by distinct boundary conditions in each forest. In Hyytiälä, precipitation had dominant control, sustaining evapotranspiration and reflecting a radiation regime characterized by high diffuse fractions. In Yatir, deep soil water availability controlled both the timing and magnitude of productivity, with a critical threshold at ∼15.9 %vol in the deepest measured layer (∼45 cm). This threshold marked the transition from dry-season legacy constraints, where vertical soil potential gradients limit root uptake, to conditions permitting sustained transpiration and productivity.\n\nAt the daily residual scale, both forests showed strong sensitivity to shortwave radiation and vapour pressure deficit (VPD), despite contrasting climatologies. Elevated VPD reduced peak daily productivity by more than 50% at both sites, although sufficient deep soil moisture mitigated this effect in the semi-arid forest. Notably, both forests exhibited a similar optimal air temperature range (14–20 °C), indicating a conserved physiological optimum despite divergent hydroclimatic limitations.\n\nOur results demonstrate that carbon uptake in evergreen needleleaf forests is structured by site-specific hydrological boundary conditions at seasonal scales, while atmospheric stress regulates short-term variability. This scale-dependent hierarchy of controls challenges the notion of universal productivity drivers and highlights the importance of subsurface hydrology and rainfall regime characteristics for predicting forest carbon responses to climate change.\n", "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, quantifying these soil imbalances remains challenging, especially at large scales. Here we present a novel isotope mass balance approach that can be used to quantify river catchment wide rates of change in cation exchange capacity (CEC), a key soil quality metric, in response to erosional perturbations. The approach uses differences in Ba isotope composition between river export fluxes and chemical weathering inputs to solve for rates of change of Ba storage within upstream soil exchange pools. Accumulation of Ba within soil exchange pools, due increases in CEC, results in the preferential export of heavier Ba isotopes in river dissolved and erosional outputs. Data for river water and suspended particulate material (SPM) samples from the Irrawaddy and Salween river demonstrate the utility of the approach. The Ba isotopic data are used to quantify associated changes in catchment wide CEC. During peak discharge conditions the Salween River basin is balanced within uncertainty of the data for its catchment wide CEC budget. By contrast, the Irrawaddy River basin features net CEC accumulation of at least 35 ± 5 meq/m2/year during peak discharge conditions. This net CEC accumulation in the Irrawaddy River basin is interpreted to reflect SPM deposition in floodplains, while the CEC balance observed in the Salween River basin likely reflects the lack of a significant floodplain area in this catchment. These results demonstrate the utility of this approach to place quantitative constraints on river catchment wide soil quality (CEC) changes driven by human perturbations to terrestrial sediment transport, including the reduction of SPM deposition in floodplains due to dam construction and accelerated soil erosion due to land-use and climate change.", "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\").

New and published ocean floor and accretion ages for Jurassic–Cretaceous oceanic crust, derived from detrital zircons and radiolarians, indicate that eastward younging ocean floor existed between the Farallon and North American plates during the Mesozoic. Moreover, plate reconstruction shows that, to the south, this lithosphere subducted southward at an intra-oceanic subduction zone beneath Caribbean lithosphere, which was still part of Farallon during the Early Cretaceous. The east-younging lithosphere was thus not the Farallon plate, but a separate Franciscan plate. We infer that it formed as part of a back-arc basin during the Cretaceous, bounded by eastward-dipping subduction zones on both its western and eastern margins. Northward translation of the western intraoceanic subduction-related terranes, likely driven by oblique Kula plate subduction, may explain why low-latitude intraoceanic arc records are currently only found from British Columbia northwards.", "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 incorporate secular cooling into 3D global mantle flow models using plate reconstructions extending back 1.8 billion years. The core-mantle boundary (CMB) temperature is modelled as decreasing over time in scenarios consistent with continuous outer-core dynamo action and inner-core crystallization, while the internal heating rate declines with radiogenic isotopes decay. We find that secular cooling reduces the magnitude of CMB heat flow and globally averaged mantle plume temperature. The predicted global plume cooling rate (~110°C Gyr-1) is broadly consistent with petrological evidence for secular plume cooling. The predicted plume heat flow at ~1,000 km depth (4–5.2 TW) is consistent with independent estimates from surface hotspots (2–4 TW), considering that lower-mantle plume heat flow is generally larger than upper-mantle plume heat flow. The CMB heat flux and the fractional area of Big LOwer-mantle Basal Structures (BLOBS) are strongly anti-correlated, reflecting that sinking slabs are central regulators of deep mantle heat transfer, with slab flux affecting deep mantle structure after a delay of 50–250 Myr. In the presented models, the evolution of the structure of the lower mantle is primarily controlled by the imposed plate reconstruction. However, secular cooling plays a second-order role as a decreasing plume flux and CMB heat flow result in a larger present-day African basal mantle structure that better matches tomographic models.</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\").

We find that about 341 million additional people now live on steep terrain, increasing the total from 494 to 835 million. The strongest growth occurred in tropical catchments, commonly in peri-urban areas, indicating that exposure is increasingly forming in rapidly expanding settlement fringes. More than half of this growth occurred in low- and lower-middle-income countries.

Traditional process based hydrological models often struggle to represent non linear, non stationary catchment behavior under changing climate and land use conditions. In this study, we develop Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks to improve sub seasonal streamflow forecasting in the Rhine River Basin, focusing on low flow conditions at the Lobith outlet in the Netherlands. We evaluate several univariate and multivariate LSTM configurations that ingest combinations of streamflow from multiple upstream gauges and basin average precipitation and temperature derived from GRDC and ERA5 data. Models are trained to predict daily discharge, weekly averages, and weekly minimum flows for lead times of 1–20 days and 1–4 weeks, and forecast skill is assessed using the Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) relative to climatological benchmarks. The best multivariate LSTM model achieves NSE values up to 0.99 at short lead times and substantially reduces MAPE compared with climatology, particularly for drought relevant low flow metrics, while predictive skill gradually declines as the forecast horizon increases.

This study highlights three key findings: (1) Fracture-filling calcite D-2-W from the 3.48 Ga Dresser Formation acts as a proxy for Paleoarchean shallow seawater geochemistry. It exhibits high Sr (1789 μg/g), δ¹³C (+2.20‰), δ¹⁸O (-13.03‰), and age-corrected ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr (0.700596), alongside low concentrations of rare earth elements (REE) and Y (briefly REE+Y), near-chondritic Y/Ho ratios, and shale-normalized REE+Y patterns characterized by heavy REE enrichment, positive La and Y anomalies, and absence of Ce and Eu anomalies. These features reflect a shallow marine setting likely influenced by anoxygenic photosynthetic processes and low-intensity volcanic-hydrothermal interactions. (2) EPT interstitial carbonates reliably trace Paleoarchean seafloor hydrothermal systems driven by basalt-seawater interactions. During hydrothermal alteration, water-rock reactions enriched carbonates in basalt-derived trace elements (Mg, Fe, Mn, light REE), lowered Sr and δ¹³C, and elevated ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr and Eu/Eu*. (3) Post-depositional alterations of the interstitial carbonates exhibit distinct multi-element behaviors: recrystallization, often driven by low-temperature hydrothermal fluids, subtly shifts original geochemical compositions while preserving REE+Y patterns and δ¹³C values. In contrast, ankeritization, induced by high-temperature fluids, resulting in significantly elevated abundances of basalt-derived elements, altered REE+Y patterns with middle REE enrichment and pronounced positive Eu anomalies, and markedly higher ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios. Consequently, this study challenges the classical paradigm of using singular isotopic proxies (e.g., ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr) to trace continental emergence, by establishing key geochemical fingerprints to discriminate between seawater and hydrothermal signatures in Archean carbonates. These insights provide critical calibration points for modeling early Earth ocean-tectonic evolution.", "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\").

Predicting flood response characteristics at these ungauged sites requires understanding which landscape properties control hydrologic behavior. This study evaluates whether geospatial basin descriptors derived from high-resolution terrain, soil, and land cover datasets can predict seven flood response metrics across 49 gauged Appalachian watersheds spanning seven states (Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, and Pennsylvania). Predictor variables were extracted from the USGS 3D Elevation Program (10 m), the National Land Cover Database (30 m), and the NRCS Soil Data Access service. Four model families were compared using leave-one-out spatial cross-validation: regularized linear models (Ridge, ElasticNet), tree-based models (Random Forest, XGBoost), and Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) with multiple kernel configurations. Results show that GPR with a Matern 1.5 kernel achieves the highest predictive skill for the Q95 discharge ratio (R-squared = 0.46) and mean rise rate (R-squared = 0.73), while regularized linear models perform comparably or better for other targets. Flashiness index and coefficient of variation of annual peaks are not predictable from static geospatial descriptors (R-squared approximately equal to 0), indicating that these properties depend on storm characteristics rather than landscape attributes. Spearman correlation analysis identifies basin relief (rho = -0.58, p < 0.001) and drainage area (rho = -0.42, p < 0.01) as the strongest correlates of flood response. SHAP-based feature importance analysis confirms that terrain properties dominate across most targets, contributing 42 to 69 percent of total importance. GPR prediction intervals show well-calibrated uncertainty, with observed 95 percent coverage ranging from 88 to 95 percent across targets. These findings suggest that geospatial machine learning can provide moderate predictive skill for flood magnitude indicators at ungauged Appalachian sites, but flashiness metrics require dynamic storm-event information that static basin descriptors cannot capture.\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": "flash flood susceptibility; ungauged basins; geospatial machine learning; Gaussian process regression; SHAP interpretability; Appalachian hydrology; uncertainty quantification; terrain analysis" } ], "date_submitted": "2026-04-13T18:08:03.425391+06:00", "date_accepted": "2026-04-14T19:09:32.733293+06:00", "date_published": "2026-04-14T19:09:00+06:00", "doi": null, "preprint_doi": "10.31223/X5ZB5F", "authors": [ { "pk": 133289, "first_name": "Sujan", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Bhattarai", "salutation": "Mr", "orcid": "0009-0002-6642-2241" } ], "subject": [ { "name": "Physical Sciences and Mathematics" } ], "files": [ { "original_filename": "Bhattarai_FlashFlood_Geospatial_ML_Manuscript.docx (1).pdf", "mime_type": "application/pdf", "download_url": "/repository/object/12601/download/22435/" }, { "original_filename": "Bhattarai_FlashFlood_Geospatial_ML_Manuscript.pdf", "mime_type": "application/pdf", "download_url": "/repository/object/12601/download/22436/" } ], "supplementary_files": [] }, { "pk": 12602, "title": "Anthropogenic acceleration of the leaky nitrogen cycle across the global land-river continuum", "abstract": "Lateral nitrogen transfer (LNT) along the land-river continuum plays a critical role in regulating global nitrogen (N) cycling and its feedbacks to climate, yet it remains poorly represented in land surface models. Here, we incorporate LNT into a global land surface model within an Earth System Model framework, enabling a process-based quantification of N transport, transformation, and associated riverine N2O emissions at the global scale. The upgraded model, ORCHIDEE3-Nlat, captures the magnitude and broad spatial patterns of riverine N fluxes and N2O emissions across major global river basins. Simulations for 1901–2020 indicate a strong anthropogenic intensification of LNT, with global dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) delivery to rivers and export to the ocean increasing by ~245% and ~151%, respectively, while dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) shows more moderate increases (~32–38%), indicating a shift toward inorganic N dominance in aquatic systems. Riverine N2O emissions increased substantially, accelerating after the 1960s and forming hotspots in intensively managed subtropical regions. Attribution analyses reveal different controls on N forms: global DIN increases were initially driven by sewage and atmospheric deposition, with fertilizer inputs becoming dominant after the 1960s, whereas DON dynamics were primarily governed by manure inputs and hydroclimatic variability. Attribution patterns vary markedly among continents, with Europe being the only region showing declines in lateral N fluxes and riverine N2O emissions after the 1980s. Overall, anthropogenic perturbations more than doubled terrestrial N inputs, boosting riverine export and tripling riverine N2O emissions—far outpacing changes over land, where terrestrial N2O emissions increased by only ~25%. Despite a dramatic increase in global N export, the fraction of terrestrial N inputs reaching the ocean has decreased from 27% to 18% over the historical period, indicating reduced land-ocean connectivity and an intensified filtering role of the global river network.", "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 resolve this by explaining the vertical dynamics of full-scale river litter in quiescent water through multi-camera, three-dimensional trajectory reconstructions of over a thousand litter items spanning 24 River-OSPAR categories, representing ~80% of observed riverine litter. Our results show that settling and rising velocities span three orders of magnitude (−82.1 to −0.29 cm s⁻¹ and 0.90 to 143.3 cm s⁻¹, respectively), indicating large variability in transport among litter categories. Despite the wide variability of velocities, drag coefficients were relatively consistent, with a median value of 1.03 and interquartile range spanning 0.45 to 1.72. We identify four trajectory regimes – straight vertical, straight oblique, nonlinear vertical, and nonlinear oblique – establishing a regime map based on particle Reynolds number and litter anisotropy. We further propose a mechanistic explanation for the four regimes, arising from the coupled effects of wake dynamics and litter physical properties. These results provide the parameterisation required for predictive, physics-based models of river litter transport.</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\").

Its performance must be demonstrated under realistic but controlled conditions. An airborne demonstrator of a compact shortwave infrared imaging spectrometer developed for the AIRMO Earth observation mission was therefore evaluated during a single-blinded methane release experiment at the TotalEnergies Anomaly Detection Initiatives (TADI) test facility in Lacq, France. Measurements were conducted over three days in June 2025 at an altitude of ~2050 m above ground level, with controlled release rates ranging from 12.2 to 104.4 kgCH₄/h. Methane plumes, i.e., spatially coherent column averaged enhancements (ΔXCH₄) were detected and corresponding mass fluxes quantified for emission rates ≥54 kg CH₄/h, with occasional detections at 15.2 kgCH₄/h under favourable conditions. The corresponding probability of detection was ~50% overall and ~75% for releases ≥54 kgCH₄/h. Retrieved source locations were typically within ±30 m of the true release point, and plume lengths ranged from ~40 to ~270 m. Radiometric uncertainty and wind speed uncertainty both dominated retrieved fluxes. Using high temporal resolution wind data from an in-situ meteorological station in comparison to ERA5 wind data lead to more accurate (closer to truth) flux retrieval, provided the optimal averaging time window was known. The latter was found to be longer than typical plume residence times. These results provide valuable guidance for the design of future airborne and spaceborne methane monitoring missions, including the AIRMO concept integrating imaging spectroscopy with micro-lidar aerosol profiling.</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\").

Analysis of recent geophysical observations reveals a close spatial association between the LSL and the oceanic mid-lithospheric discontinuity (MLD), a feature attributed to the accumulation and crystallization of residual or intrusive melts within oceanic lithosphere, suggesting a genetic link between the two structures. Here, combining observational constraints with geodynamic numerical modeling, we show that melt crystallization and subsequent metamorphic reactions within the MLD promote grain-size reduction and rheological layering, which localize differential stress in the mantle section above the MLD. These processes create favorable conditions for earthquake generation and naturally explain the development and features of the LSL. Importantly, this mechanism does not require a hydrated lower seismic layer, consistent with seismic observations from numerous subduction zones worldwide.", "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\").

In this study, we analyze changes in the magnitude, intensity, and duration of extreme streamflow events, both floods and droughts, under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios using the FutureStreams dataset. This dataset, driven by multiple CMIP5 climate models, enables a global-scale assessment across all Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Adaptation (SREX) regions. We identified events using percentile-based thresholds derived from historical (1976–2005) streamflow distributions and evaluated future extremes relative to these baselines across seasonal and decadal time slices. Our results show an apparent intensification of extremes, particularly under RCP8.5, with substantial increases in flood and drought events in climate-stressed regions such as South Asia, the Mediterranean, Central Australia, and Northern Europe. The seasonal dynamics of these changes, such as summer drought intensification and winter flood increases, underscore the compound effects of warming, altered precipitation, and snowmelt patterns. While the most significant increases occur in regions with a known history of hydrological stress, some areas with historically moderate variability also exhibit growing extremes, especially toward the end of the century. These findings highlight the urgency of emissions mitigation and region-specific adaptation planning in addressing the increasing risks posed by future hydrological extremes.\n", "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 study investigates whether green hydrogen, produced using surplus hydroelectricity, serves as a viable prospective pathway toward achieving energy independence and economic prosperity by assessing its contextual suitability and projecting its potential structural role in the national economy through 2050. Adopting a Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) approach, ten key technological, economic, environmental, and socio-political dimensions were evaluated using secondary literatures. The findings reveal a distinct capability paradox: green hydrogen demonstrates outstanding prospects for environmental impact and resource potential due to a projected 3,000 MW monsoon hydropower surplus by 2030—a surplus that is poised to rise exponentially as Nepal targets an ambitious roadmap of 28,500 MW installed capacity by 2035. Similarly, strong policy alignment via the Green Hydrogen Policy 2024 further anchors this potential, though acute barriers persist regarding low technology maturity and high production costs (Cost-effectiveness) due to a complete reliance on international technology transfer. Furthermore, to explore the economic scale of this transition, a logical projection using the GDP expenditure approach was done, which indicates that green hydrogen could theoretically contribute a cumulative structural value of $13.52 billion between 2026 and 2050 in national GDP. This is calculated based on assumed baseline targets of $6 billion in long-term capital investments, $2.4 billion in domestic wage circulation, and $5.12 billion in potential import substitution across the fertilizer, diesel, coal, and LPG sectors. Ultimately, this analysis underlines that if Nepal is to sustain an ambitious 7.0% economic growth trajectory, the traditional \"Business as Usual\" model will be fundamentally insufficient; a transformative, extraordinary intervention like a green hydrogen economy is necessary to utilize this rapidly rising surplus, break the trade deficit trap, and shift the nation toward self-sustaining development.

This ambiguity has allowed duration to function as a calibration parameter in analyses such as random vibration theory (RVT), where it is often adjusted to match observed response spectra. This paper introduces a new definition based on the participation ratio of the temporal energy distribution, yielding the energetic duration {\\operatorname{D}\\funcapply}^\\ast. When applied consistently, {\\operatorname{D}\\funcapply}^\\ast provides an objective measure of the quasi-stationary, peak-generating phase of ground motion and resolves the internal consistency problem of RVT. The framework is extended to a rotation-invariant formulation and to a duration spectrum {\\operatorname{D}\\funcapply}_R^\\ast(T), providing a period-dependent duration consistent with oscillator response. The analysis further shows that conventional moment-based estimates of bandwidth and crossing rates are biased under finite-duration conditions, particularly when D/T is small. An empirical correction based on a sinusoidal baseline test, combined with time-domain estimation of zero-crossing rates, is introduced to mitigate these effects, improving the stability of RVT peak-factor calculations and reducing both bias and dispersion of predicted spectral ordinates. The proposed approach provides a physically grounded and analytically consistent definition of duration, clarifies its role within RVT, and supports its integration into ground-motion modelling and seismic hazard analysis.", "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 physical origin of these climate zones has been investigated through idealized simulations, observations, and state-of-the-art climate models. However, a first-principles theory to explain the boundary position remains largely unexplored. Here we propose a theory to understand this climate bifurcation through a thermal-mechanical decomposition using the first law of thermodynamics. We introduce a dimensionless parameter, the thermal-mechanical ratio (T/M), to quantify thermal and mechanical contributions to vertical motion. This parameter offers a first-principles definition of \"tropicalness\": regions where thermal contribution dominates are tropical (T/M ≳ 10), whereas regions with non-negligible mechanical contributions are midlatitudinal (T/M ≲ 10). We derive a simple model to describe the determination mechanism of the boundary position from fundamental physical constants, which explains observed seasonality, global warming response, and the El Niño-Southern Oscillation sensitivity. This framework provides robust theoretical foundations for understanding anthropogenic tropical expansion, informing climate change adaptation strategies.

In particular, GMST is known to increase during a strong and short-lived El Niño. By contrast, the global cooling effect of a weak and long-lived La Niña remains underexplored, particularly that of multi-year La Niña. This study shows that multi-year La Niña events tend to have a strong cooling effect on GMST based on observations and climate model simulations. The minimum of GMST around the second-year La Niña becomes larger despite the comparable or weaker amplitude of La Niña. The persistent La Niña cools the pantropical climate, causing a temporary GMST warming stagnancy, whereas the cooling effect of a single-year La Niña is weaker due to the lagged response of other tropical basins and its transience. Yet, even during so-called triple-dip or longer events, global cooling can persist despite the modest La Niña forcing, because the pan-tropical climate has already been cooled. Applying the resistor–capacitor (RC)-framework analogy, we demonstrate that the lagged decreases in GMST and its lower bound during multi-year La Niña episodes arise naturally from the climate system’s intrinsic transient sensitivity and the heat capacity of the ocean mixed layer. The RC framework would offer a simple, intuitive, and pedagogically useful tool for interpreting the GMST response to ENSO.", "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\").

Although these properties can be measured in the field, such measurements are labor-intensive and spatially limited, motivating the development of alternative observation methods. Seismic waves offer an alternative approach to studying frozen lakes, as their propagation velocity depends on the physical properties of the ice-water system, including the elastic moduli and thickness of the ice, and water column depth. In this study, we investigate the use of wind-driven flexural waves recorded by a distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) system to infer ice thickness and water depth under a 1000 m fiber-optic cable installed on Lake Pääjärvi, Finland. To do so, we identify wind-induced flexural waves in the 0.01-0.5 Hz frequency band, extract their dispersion curves, and invert them using a grid search to estimate effective ice thickness and water depth under four cable intervals. Our estimates reproduce the observed dispersion curves and agree with independent field measurements, demonstrating that it is possible to obtain first-order information about ice thickness and water depth in frozen lakes. However, the reliability of water depth estimates is limited by the wavenumber content of the flexural waves. In our case, water depth estimates become less robust with increasing water depth because low-wavenumber flexural waves, which are sensitive to the water column, are lacking. Another important observation is that refraction of flexural waves toward shallower water must be considered when converting apparent velocities measured along the cable to true velocities. If this effect is neglected, dispersion curves and the estimated parameters may be biased.", "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 African Transport Systems Database includes 234 airports including their airline routes, 179 maritime ports and their connections with each other, 132 inland ports and docking sites with river and lake connections, 6,057 railway stations connected across 99,373 kilometers of rail lines, and 1,004,512 kilometers of roads mainly comprised of all motorways, trunk roads, primary and secondary routes across Africa and some local roads that connect to other transport modes. The AfTS-Db provides key information for transport planning, resilience assessments, asset management and development of transport models and applications.

Here we leverage a large interdisciplinary data collection related to social and ecological impacts in the Central Amazon. Compound hazards (reduced river water levels, lack of rainfall, high water/air temperatures, river erosion and fire smoke) led to major impacts, including an unprecedented mortality of 209 river dolphins and blooms of the potentially ichthyotoxic Euglena sanguinea phytoplankton. Fish kills in lakes and changes in caiman relative abundance along floodplain channels were observed, as well as lower-than-usual production of flowers and fruits in floodplain trees. Impaired river transportation was the main socio-economic impact, affecting important value chains such as the arapaima fishery and manioc flour production, and also access to healthcare, drinking water and urban markets. Our results also show the contrasting impacts between rural and urban populations, with the latter presenting a higher resilience throughout the event. Continuous records of impacts like those presented here are fundamental to guide future disaster management policies in Amazonia. This is particularly important to help vulnerable remote people and ecosystems during extreme events, which are likely to increase in the near future.

ice sheet (GrIS) is known to be very sensitive to climate change, and persistent global warming only slightly higher than today could be enough to completely melt it. However, the implications of a temporary crossing of this temperature threshold for future GrIS mass loss remain unknown. Here we present simulations of the next 10,000 years under different future anthropogenic emissions scenarios, performed using a fully coupled Earth system model. We find that long-term Greenland ice loss is determined by the peak global temperature increase, which generally occurs within the next few centuries. The GrIS contribution to sea-level rise after 10,000 years increases by ∼1.5 m for each degree of warming above a critical peak global warming threshold of ∼1.5°C, which is close to the GrIS equilibrium tipping point. This finding is robust for different equilibrium climate sensitivities and across different scenarios. We also find that accounting for changes in the Earth’s orbital parameters over the next 10,000 years substantially increases the sensitivity of the GrIS mass loss to anthropogenic warming. Our results demonstrate how 21st century climate policy will largely determine the fate of the GrIS for millennia to come.", "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 SIF measurements rely on hyperspectral retrievals of the weak fluorescence signal from small changes in Fraunhofer lines or atmospheric absorption features in plant or canopy reflectance spectra. Because this approach is dependent on atmospheric and illumination conditions, it relies on bulky and costly instrumentation, while complex retrieval algorithms demand atmospheric spectroscopy expertise. These limitations restrict widespread proximal SIF remote sensing applications, and contribute to critical observational gaps, highlighting the need for a simplified measurement approach.\n We introduce a fundamentally different approach to proximal SIF remote sensing: by measuring the light intensity within a saturated atmospheric O2 line (ca. 10 pm spectral width) we implement a solar-blind radiometer (SBR) that optically isolates SIF from reflected solar radiation. Calculations show that SBR-SIF instruments can be implemented using a Fabry-Pérot interferometer in double-pass configuration. Plant measurements with our prototype confirm the theoretical calculations and provide direct SIF measurements with a precision of 0.1 mW m-2 sr-1 nm-1 in 3 minutes, similar or higher than conventional techniques. SBR-SIF is independent of atmospheric and illumination conditions, requires no spectral retrieval or reference measurement, and enables compact, field-deployable instrumentation. Consequently, SBR-SIF enables scalable proximal SIF measurements that can advance our understanding of physiological processes, support validation of satellite observations, and expand SIF applications in ecosystem monitoring and precision agriculture.\n", "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 study presents an operational, national-scale, integrated flood forecasting system that combines surface water and groundwater components – such as river discharge and high groundwater levels – to assess flood risk in Denmark. The system has been proven to effectively capture peak river flows and elevated groundwater levels, as it did across the country during the winter of 2024, and provide local-scale insights, as exemplified during a specific flood event in Varde, west Denmark.

Here, we present a Google Earth Engine tool for automated mapping of key climate- and mass balance- modulated parameters, including total visible ice area, snow-covered area (SCA), accumulation-area ratio, and snowline altitude (often used as a proxy for the equilibrium-line altitude). The tool uses Landsat near-infrared reflectance, commonly used spectral band ratios, and scene-specific thresholding to distinguish snow-covered from ice or firn surfaces. Validation for 60 glaciers across 13 regions shows strong agreement with manual observations of satellite imagery and weaker agreement with field-based observations from the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS), likely reflecting differences in methodology and observation timing. The tool substantially improves WGMS temporal coverage, filling ~63% of glacier-year gaps and increasing the total number of observations (e.g., SCA by ~65%). Beyond the glaciers studied here, the tool is designed to enable efficient and accessible generation of multi-decadal glacier health time series for individual glaciers globally, with appropriate user evaluation and consideration of known limitations. Thus, the tool will hold value for a range of academic and non-academic users, particularly for education, outreach, and community stakeholders.

This study evaluates shallow groundwater risk in Virginia Beach, Virginia, using 30 years of records (1991–2020) from 121 monitoring wells for groundwater levels and 55 wells with groundwater‑quality data for chloride (Cl), iron (Fe), and manganese (Mn). The analysis is restricted to the NLCD 2024 urban land‑cover class, which provides sufficient data density for spatial modeling. Groundwater levels and a Composite Contamination Index (CCI) were analyzed within a three‑dimensional block model (50 × 50 × 5 m) using Sequential Gaussian Simulation (50 conditional realizations per variable). Simulation outputs were summarized using E‑type estimates, uncertainty metrics, and conservative percentile scenarios to characterize spatial patterns under data limitations. The results indicate that groundwater conditions suitable for new abstraction are extremely limited. More than 94 % of the urban domain is classified as not recommended, while less than 1 % exhibits moderate to favorable conditions. Shallow groundwater levels, elevated uncertainty, and groundwater‑quality stress overlap most strongly in urban–wetland transition areas south of the Green Line, previously identified as hydrogeologically sensitive. The analysis provides screening‑level support for urban groundwater management. Incorporating groundwater depth, quality, and spatial uncertainty into a unified assessment offers a practical basis for monitoring prioritization and precautionary decision‑making in Virginia Beach and in similar coastal cities that rely on public groundwater data.</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 evaluate its air quality effects after one year using ground-based and satellite observations. Using New York City Community Air Survey (NYCCAS) real-time PM2.5 monitors, we compare PM2.5 concentrations during the first year of CBDTP implementation with 2022-2024, finding statistically significant decreases within the congestion relief zone (CRZ). A difference-in-differences (DiD) regression approach reveals that the CBDTP drove a 13% reduction in PM2.5 at CRZ sites (p < 0.001), while nearby non-CRZ sites showed statistically insignificant increases (p = 0.056). We also analyzed tropospheric NO2 columns from TROPOMI, finding reductions exceeding 20% in the NYC metropolitan area in 2025 relative to a 2018-2024 baseline. Decreases are more pronounced in lower Manhattan than outer boroughs, but likely reflect broader regional trends rather than the CBDTP alone, with little to no evidence of traffic-rerouting-driven increases elsewhere. The program may nonetheless have contributed to the overall regional NO2 decline alongside other air quality policies.

This study investigates its morphological impacts using the hydrodynamic–morphological model HYDIST, coupled with a sand mining source function (Ssm), to directly simulate unsustainable sand mining. The model is applied to the Vam Nao River, a confluence connecting the Tien and Hau rivers. Unlike conventional approaches that assume static mining pits, sand mining is represented here as a dynamic process by incorporating the source function directly into the bed evolution equation, allowing a more realistic description of mining–morphology interactions.\nSimulation results show that sand mining markedly intensifies riverbed erosion and disrupts the natural erosion–deposition balance. In the Vam Nao River reach (Zone 1), the proportion of deposition declines from 27.1% to 12.9%, while erosion increases to 87.1% of total morphological change, indicating a transition toward an erosion-dominated regime. In the Hau River reach (Zone 2), which is naturally depositional with deposition accounting for up to 83.77% under non-mining conditions, sand mining completely reverses the morphological pattern. The total erosion volume becomes 8.4 times greater than that in the non-mining scenario. At the Vam Nao–Hau River confluence (Zone 3), deposition volume decreases by 30.2%, and erosion represents 69.56% of total morphological change, highlighting a strong downstream propagation of mining impacts. The results demonstrate that sand mining substantially enhances morphological instability, particularly in river confluence zones, and that these zones play a critical role in amplifying the effects of upstream sand mining.\n", "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 growing body of work also documents a range of atmospheric water vapor content on exoplanets. An improved understanding of the coupling between atmospheric moisture availability and convection could yield greater intuition about the past and current states of planetary atmospheres, including Earth's atmosphere. In this work, we investigate the changing heat engine behavior of localized radiative-convective equilibrium convection in a suite of moist-to-nearly-dry numerical simulations. Each simulation has a constant surface relative humidity, with values ranging from saturated to nearly dry surface conditions. We observe a deepening of the planetary boundary layer and a corresponding lifting of the cloud base as the surface dries, in agreement with previous numerical and observational studies. The primary factor contributing to this is the reduction in the temperature of the lifting condensation level implied by the Clausius-Clapeyron relationship. Additionally, the mass transport by atmospheric convection increases in drier conditions, consistent with prior work. Finally, inspection of the atmospheric circulation in the typical temperature-entropy space used for heat engine analysis implies that the temperature of convective tops is invariant under surface drying in our main suite of simulations, although this result is sensitive to the planetary boundary layer parameterization.</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\").

Using long-term satellite observations, we provide the first analysis linking hydrology and reed vitality at Lake Neusiedl, a major climate sensitive wetland system in the Pannonian Basin. We assembled a 40-year record (1985–2025) of Landsat derived Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) and related it to in-situ measurements of surface water levels to quantify the impact of extreme events. The analyses of hydrological droughts in 1990, 2003 and 2022 (a record low) reveal a decline in plant vitality during periods of low water. Temporary drawdowns are expected to enhance vigour through sediment oxidation and litter decomposition, producing vegetation rebounds as the severity of the drought alleviates. A significant increase in productivity was observed following the 2022 event, but not after the 1990 and 2003 events. The analysis shows that reed vitality is not a continuous linear function of water availability or inundation level. Instead, it follows a pulse-response dynamic, where rejuvenation occurs only when critical thresholds of exposure depth and duration are exceeded, enabling oxidation of accumulated litter and sediment organic matter driving long-term die-back. The results provide a quantitative basis for adaptive water level management at Lake Neusiedl and demonstrate how long-term satellite monitoring can guide reed conservation in shallow lake wetlands more broadly.</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\").

However, the way in which this process leads to the spatial reorganization of erosion has not yet been fully quantified. This study analyzes shoreline variations in the Vam Nao channel, Mekong Delta, over the period 1988–2025 in order to clarify the morphological changes of this key distributary reach under conditions of prolonged sediment deficit.\nThe results show that sediment load decreased at a rate of approximately −2.62 Mt/year at Tan Chau and −0.99 Mt/year at Vam Nao, reflecting a system-wide sediment deficit. At Vam Nao, erosion area increased markedly during the period 1993–2011, with the emergence of continuously eroding segments and large negative LRR. The concurrent increase in the morphological index asymmetry Index AI (up to 0.72–0.88) and the coefficient of variation CV (up to 0.47) indicates that erosion not only intensified in magnitude but also became asymmetric and shifted toward the right bank of the river. In the period after 2012, although AI index remained at a high level, the decrease in CV suggests that erosion zones had been established and became more spatially stable.\nThese results indicate that the Vam Nao channel system initially shows that this area has undergone a morphological regime shift, from a relatively balanced state to a highly dynamic state and subsequently to a structurally organized erosional state. This study highlights the importance of analyzing the spatial structure of erosion in identifying early signals of morphological transitions in river systems affected by sediment deficit worldwide.\n", "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 present a modular kinematic rupture generator for physics-based simulations (PBS) in which final slip, rupture speed ratio (VR/VS), and peak slip velocity (Vmax) are modelled as heterogeneous, mutually correlated spatial fields governed by prescribed one-point statistics and covariance-based two-point structure. The generator supports both event-constrained ruptures (for validation) and fully stochastic scenario ruptures, while enabling systematic propagation of source uncertainty through an effective stress-parameter scaling with Vmax. We demonstrate the approach using a regional 3D numerical model of South Iceland (accurate up to 1.9 Hz) solved with the spectral-element code SPEED. A broadband extension is obtained via the ANN2BB method. Validation against the June 2000 Mw 6.5 and Mw 6.4 earthquakes shows good agreement between recorded and simulated low-frequency waveforms and response spectra, supported by goodness-of-fit metrics across duration, peak measures, and long-period spectral ordinates. We then generate Mw 6.5 and Mw 7 scenario ensembles and compare their spectral-acceleration attenuation and variability with local and global GMMs. Mw 6.5 scenarios track the Icelandic model within its calibration range, whereas Mw 7 scenarios diverge from extrapolated local predictions, indicating substantial epistemic uncertainty in large-magnitude, short-distance scaling where observations are unavailable. The simulated variability is consistent with empirical expectations, supporting the use of the proposed rupture-generator–PBS framework to produce region-specific, non-ergodic ground-motion ensembles for scenario-based risk analysis and PBS-informed hazard assessment.", "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": "physics-based simulations" }, { "word": "kinematic rupture generator" }, { "word": "south iceland earthquakes" } ], "date_submitted": "2026-06-04T19:42:06.602332+06:00", "date_accepted": "2026-06-04T20:07:56.936828+06:00", "date_published": "2026-06-04T20:07:00+06:00", "doi": null, "preprint_doi": "10.31223/X5D776", "authors": [ { "pk": 130704, "first_name": "Victor", "middle_name": "Moises Hernández", "last_name": "Aguirre", "salutation": "", "orcid": "0000-0002-6251-271X" }, { "pk": 130703, "first_name": "Rajesh", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Rupakhety", "salutation": "", "orcid": null }, { "pk": 132906, "first_name": "Roberto", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Paolucci", "salutation": "", "orcid": null }, { "pk": 132908, "first_name": "Chiara", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Smerzini", "salutation": "", "orcid": null }, { "pk": 132907, "first_name": "Manuela", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Vanini", "salutation": "", "orcid": null }, { "pk": 138678, "first_name": "Bjarni", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Bessason", "salutation": "", "orcid": null }, { "pk": 138679, "first_name": "Sigurður", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Erlingsson", "salutation": "", "orcid": null } ], "subject": [ { "name": "Civil Engineering" }, { "name": "Tectonics and Structure" } ], "files": [ { "original_filename": "Rupture Generator_Preprint.pdf", "mime_type": "application/pdf", "download_url": "/repository/object/13347/download/23537/" } ], "supplementary_files": [] }, { "pk": 12735, "title": "Spaceborne imaging spectrometry of methane plumes: Quantifying the benefit of aerosol lidar", "abstract": "<p>Column averaged mixing ratios of trace gases, such as methane (XCH4), from spaceborne pushbroom spectrometers can be used to detect corresponding plumes and retrieve enhancements (ΔXCH4), i.e., the difference between plume and background XCH4. Over the global dust belt, however, significant scattering by dust aerosols may cause biased XCH4 that may propagate into biased ΔXCH4. To correct this, a co-aligned lidar could measure the aerosol profile in the middle of the scene (~20 km across track by 6 km along track). However, the vertical aerosol distribution may vary between the plume, covering hundreds of meters, and the background. Due to signal-to-noise requirements, only a single lidar profile per scene could be acquired, so either the plume or the background aerosol layer would be missed. Aerosol-induced bias would not be corrected equally for plume and background. A single lidar sounding in the center of the swath may, therefore, not improve the ΔXCH4 bias. To test this hypothesis, end-to-end simulations in Monte Carlo mode were performed, simulating 2000 retrievals for randomized aerosol profiles and observation conditions. The use of a scattering radiative transfer model (RTM) constrained with aerosol profile data from a lidar at the swath center led to a reduced mean absolute bias of ΔXCH4 (~0.5 ppb vs. ~2.6 ppb for an unconstrained RTM), with highest improvements for low albedo and strong plume/background albedo contrasts. This suggests that a pushbroom-lidar doublet could enable more accurate mass fluxes from point gas emitters, such as man-made greenhouse gas sources or volcanoes.</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, the focus is largely on responses to single climate events, while suggestive evidence indicates that temporal and spatial patterns across multiple events – including event frequency, clustering, and spatial extent – may predict which climate adaptations households use. Here, we assess whether households that have experienced not just more severe droughts, but more frequent, temporally autocorrelated, or spatially extensive droughts across recent years, are more likely to have received a remittance over the last 12 months. We analyze remittance data from 2009 from 11,776 households across six sub-Saharan African countries, matching it to satellite and weather station data on precipitation and evapotranspiration (1981-2009). We find that in the majority of countries, average severity of drought over a five-year window is associated with receiving a remittance; these effects are largely driven by remittances from household migrants, especially those who moved more than five years ago. Spatial extent positively predicts receiving remittances in Nigeria but is a negative predictor in other countries. Results for frequency are null and for temporal autocorrelation are mixed. In short, support is mixed for our predictions about the relationship between patterned climate events and remittances. Systematic investigation of whether not just single events, but patterning across events, predicts household-level climate adaptations could help us better anticipate and support adaptations like remittances given future climate projections.</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\").

In this study, we investigate the ZYHPM01 profile in the eastern Songnen Plain using grain-size end-member analysis (EMA), multi-proxy geochemical tracers, and coarse-grained quartz optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating. The EMA identifies three sedimentary components: EM1 represents distal background dust transported via high-altitude suspension; EM2 and EM3 indicate proximal dust inputs driven by the winter monsoon. Based on the OSL-based chronostratigraphy constructed using piecewise linear regression, the Holocene evolution is divided into five stages. Following rapid accumulation in the Early Holocene (11.63–10.31 ka BP), the region experienced a climatic setback during the transition to the Middle Holocene, broadly consistent with high-latitude cooling episodes such as the 8.2 ka event. The Mid-Holocene Climatic Optimum (6.72–5.11 ka BP) established a warm-humid environment, with peak CIA values (~68.8) and minimum Sr/Cu ratios (~7.0) confirming intense chemical weathering and leaching, which served as the primary environmental window for black soil initiation. This period was terminated by an abrupt shift to cold-dry conditions in the Late Holocene, characterized by enhanced coarse-grained dust inputs driven by a strengthened winter monsoon. We propose a Formation-Preservation mechanism: the Mid-Holocene provided optimal hydrothermal conditions for intense chemical weathering, high biological productivity, and active pedogenesis (Formation Phase), while the subsequent Late Holocene climatic deterioration inhibited microbial decomposition and restricted chemical leaching, effectively preserving the accumulated organic carbon (Preservation Phase). These findings reveal that modern black soil in the Songnen Plain is a legacy of peak Mid-Holocene productivity preserved by climatic cooling, providing new insights for understanding critical zone evolution at monsoon margins.", "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 tropical biogenic aerosols have been studied extensively, their sensitivity within coarse-resolution global models remains incompletely characterized, particularly under differing background aerosol states. Here we present exploratory sensitivity experiments using MPAS-Atmosphere to test whether rainforest biogenic salt aerosol parameterizations can alter modeled tropical precipitation and selected large-scale moisture-transport diagnostics.</p>\n<p>Using 30-day single-member simulations at 240 km and 120 km resolution, we examined ten alternative implementations ranging from simple autoconversion perturbations to a more explicit giant-cloud-condensation-nuclei (GCCN) lifecycle treatment with activation, condensational growth, coalescence, and wet scavenging. Across these implementations, diagnosed latent heat transport at 30°N varied substantially (range −211 to +153 TW; standard deviation ~126 TW — comparable in magnitude to some published transport estimates), indicating strong sensitivity of some circulation metrics to aerosol microphysical assumptions within these experiments.</p>\n<p>v4 introduces the prescribed-CCN methodology of Heikenfeld et al. (2019, ACP, doi:10.5194/acp-19-2601-2019) into the MPAS-Atmosphere experimental framework, in which water-friendly aerosol concentrations are held at observed pristine values (Pöhlker et al. 2012) throughout each simulation. With a 5-pair ensemble (Jan 2022–2026) at 120 km on the Pöhlker-Dg-matched activation configuration (Dg = 160 nm, κ = 0.8), we find a robust reduction in northward latent heat transport at 30°N (mean −80 ± 22 TW, 5/5 pairs negative, t = −7.98, p = 0.0013). This is consistent with the hypothesized mechanism: K-salt enhances equatorial convective rainout, retaining latent heat in the tropical region rather than exporting it through the Hadley cell upper branch. A complementary trend at 70°N (mean +15 ± 20 TW, 4/5 pairs positive, p = 0.16) is consistent with the predicted secondary effect of strengthened mid-latitude baroclinic eddies driven by the increased equator-to-pole temperature gradient, but does not reach statistical significance in this ensemble size. The Amazon-mean precipitation response itself is dominated by natural meteorological variability and is not statistically resolved (+1.5 ± 9.5 mm, p = 0.75). v4 retires v3's polluted-baseline sign-flip narrative because the Thompson aerosol-aware single-species framework cannot represent the chemistry of real anthropogenic pollution at the levels v3's \"polluted\" baseline implied; multi-species K-salt-versus-smoke separation is deferred to a planned follow-up using MPAS-CMAQ.</p>\n<p>These simulations are not intended as detection or attribution evidence. v3 phases (1–7) are limited to single 30-day realizations; the v4 ensemble (Phase 9 in §6.9) advances on this with a 5-pair design but remains coarse-resolution and parameterized for tropical convection. Rather than producing detection-grade numbers, the experiments demonstrate that rainforest bioaerosol assumptions can materially influence modeled tropical rainfall responses and some transport diagnostics, and that the 30°N northward-latent-heat-transport reduction is statistically resolved within the v4 5-pair ensemble at the Pöhlker-Dg-matched configuration. The results motivate targeted follow-up using larger ensembles, additional seasons (a July ensemble is planned for v5), convection-permitting resolution, observational constraints on rainforest aerosol emissions, and higher-fidelity cloud microphysics.

For patent and intellectual-property security, certain sources and proprietary technical details (e.g., exact nanoparticle composition and surfactant/stabiliser chemistry) are intentionally not disclosed.\n\nThis study presents a comparative analysis of the mechanical and seismic performance of GEIOS nitrogen hybrid gas nanofoam versus conventional water-proppant fluids in Enhanced Quantum Geothermal (EQG) reservoirs. Under matched High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT) triaxial conditions (80-140 MPa confinement, 300 C), the nitrogen-based nanofoam reduced total acoustic-emission (AE) event counts by 49% and shifted the b-value to 1.52, compared to traditional water-proppant controls. These data suggest a distributed-microcracking failure mode that significantly lowers the induced-seismicity signature, addressing the primary barrier to geothermal deployment.

Here, we present a systematic characterization of Ca sulfate and Ca carbonate assemblages in four CO carbonaceous chondrites from different dense collection areas of the Atacama Desert (Los Vientos 123, El Médano 464, Calama 031, Paposo 088). We combine backscattered electron imaging, EDS, X-ray compositional mapping, Raman spectroscopy, and modal point counting to assess the distribution, mineralogy, and formation context of evaporites. Evaporites occur mainly as pore- and vein-filling phases and as replacements of Fe sulfides. Los Vientos 123 and El Médano 464 contain high abundances of Ca sulfates (~2.5 ± 0.35 vol%), Calama 031 is dominated by Ca carbonate veins (1.4 ± 0.26 vol%) with minor Ca sulfate, and Paposo 088 shows only low Ca sulfate contents (0.47 ± 0.15 vol%). These phases are systematically associated with Fe oxyhydroxides, jarosite-like phases, and strongly altered sulfides. The sulfate- and carbonate-rich assemblages in CO chondrites correlate with local soil geochemistry and microclimates. Limestone bedrock and more rain-influenced inland set different evaporite assemblages compared to coastal areas characterized by marine aerosols and salt-rich soils. Raman spectra indicate that the dominant Ca sulfate polymorph is anhydrite, lacking OH-stretching bands, consistent with precipitation from low-water activity, chloride-nitrate-rich brines and limited subsequent hydration. Disordered carbonaceous matter locally sheltered within sulfate-rich areas suggests that secondary evaporites can trap and preserve organic material, even if non-biological. Our results thus support (i) a terrestrial origin for Ca sulfates and Ca carbonates in Atacama CO chondrites; (ii) the stability of anhydrite as an indicator of extremely low water activity; and (iii) process analogues for evaporite formation in Martian settings, where anhydrite regions may be key targets to reconstruct aqueous conditions and assess organic preservation on Mars.", "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 landfill was active from 1972 to 1985. An impermeable cap was placed on the landfill in 1998. The adjacent area to the Coakley Landfill has many water supply wells, and transport of PFAS compounds to the wells is a concern. Fracture anisotropy in the underlying bedrock aquifer complicates the understanding of PFAS transport because groundwater preferentially travels along fractures that may not align with the prevailing groundwater flow direction. In 2018, the U.S Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Geological Survey began an investigation of the groundwater flow from the Coakley Landfill site. This report describes the modification of a numerical groundwater-flow model for the local area around the Coakley Landfill and summarizes findings of the investigation. In addition, this report includes a brief description of PFOA and PFOS occurrence, a discussion of model construction, evaluation of model performance through calibration, and discussion of simulation results for two periods (before and after capping). Limitations are also discussed. Results show that simulated groundwater flow moves from the Coakley Landfill to the west and north. Advective transport modeling using particle tracking shows that groundwater from the landfill discharges primarily to streams to the west and north, and a small amount is transported to distal wells. Dilution of contaminants through advection and dispersion likely plays a role in whether PFAS compounds from the landfill will be detected above laboratory reporting levels at distal wells.</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": [ { "word": "PFAS" }, { "word": "Superfund" }, { "word": "groundwater model" }, { "word": "New Hampshire" }, { "word": "landfill" }, { "word": "fractured bedrock" }, { "word": "contaminant transport" } ], "date_submitted": "2026-04-08T19:02:34.482810+06:00", "date_accepted": "2026-04-09T12:04:24.219122+06:00", "date_published": "2026-04-09T12:04:00+06:00", "doi": "https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20265008", "preprint_doi": "10.31223/X53761", "authors": [ { "pk": 133772, "first_name": "Philip", "middle_name": "T", "last_name": "Harte", "salutation": "", "orcid": null }, { "pk": 133770, "first_name": "Andrew", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Collins", "salutation": "", "orcid": "0000-0003-4751-7333" } ], "subject": [ { "name": "Earth Sciences" }, { "name": "Environmental Health and Protection" }, { "name": "Environmental Sciences" }, { "name": "Geology" }, { "name": "Hydrology" }, { "name": "Physical Sciences and Mathematics" }, { "name": "Water Resource Management" } ], "files": [ { "original_filename": "preprint_harte_collins_coakleylandfillmodel.pdf", "mime_type": "application/pdf", "download_url": "/repository/object/12287/download/22314/" }, { "original_filename": "preprint_harte_collins_coakleylandfillmodel.pdf", "mime_type": "application/pdf", "download_url": "/repository/object/12287/download/22474/" } ], "supplementary_files": [ { "url": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P14LJKCX", "label": "Data Release" } ] }, { "pk": 12739, "title": "‘Egg that tastes like egg’: An ethnographic and economic inquiry into the assets and challenges of the organic farming market in the Canary Islands", "abstract": "The development of self-sufficient organic food systems has become an important focus in the Canary Islands, where reliance on imported foods and conventional agriculture are predominant.

Ice downstream of the grounding line rises and falls with ocean tides while ice upstream of it does not, creating kilometers wide flexure zones. Ice thickness in the flexure zone cannot be well estimated by assuming it is in hydrostatic equilibrium. Here we develop and apply an observationally-constrained inversion based on the tidal flexure of ice shelves, using repeat-track ICESat-2 altimetry data and an elastic beam bending model, to infer ice thickness and thickness gradient close to grounding lines. We apply this method to Institute Ice Stream, Foundation Ice Stream, and Recovery Glacier on the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf (FRIS) and find that flexure-derived ice thickness can be locally up to approximately 10% greater than the hydrostatically derived ice thickness from BedMachine. We also find that ice in these three grounding zones is relatively stiff, with a mean effective Young’s modulus (E*) of 6.5 GPa. If ice in grounding zones around Antarctica is indeed thicker than commonly estimated, as found here, this may have far- reaching implications for ice sheet modeling.", "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 relationship can be approximated in a forward operator using physical models, such as Maxwell’s equations for time-domain electromagnetics (TDEM), where measured voltages in receiver coils arise from decaying magnetic fields. In TDEM, the inverse operator usually does not exist, so inversion methods estimate resistivity by incorporating measurements, prior information, error assumptions, and the forward operator. A common assumption in forward models is that the subsurface is one-dimensional (1D), with resistivity varying only vertically. When lateral variations are present, this assumption introduces a 3D modeling error. Understanding these errors and their resulting artifacts is crucial, as the 1D assumption is widely used but often inaccurate. The effect of 3D modeling errors in TDEM inversion is examined using three distinct three-layer geological model types: a buried valley, a lens at the surface, and variation in topography. Realistic 3D data are computed for each of the three scenarios, and the impact of using deterministic and probabilistic 1D inversion is investigated. In all three cases, features appear in the solution to the inverse problem that are not consistent with the reference model. The erroneous features can be directly linked to using a 1D forward model to describe 3D data. Goodness-of-fit metrics such as the normalized data residual are analyzed and found to be unreliable indicators of whether the inversion model structure is real or a 3D artifact. Lastly, a case is presented where inversion models of SkyTEM data from Ribe in southern Denmark show structures similar to those found in the analysis, highlighting the applicability of this analysis to interpretations of real TDEM datasets.", "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 study introduces a comprehensive geospatial dataset delineating 2.3 million elevational transects within global ATEs. The dataset integrates global climatology with key environmental attributes, such as elevation, landforms, hydrology, and land cover. These transects effectively map the ecological transition from dense montane forests to barren, higher-altitude ridges. Their spatial flexibility facilitates standardized comparative analysis of ATEs, effectively bridging the gap between local field studies and global assessments in alpine research. The dataset can be employed to model the elevational distribution of ecosystem properties within ATEs, track the temporal changes of environmental factors along the ATE’s elevational gradients, and forecast the specific, enduring effects of climate change on mountain ecosystems worldwide.</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\").

Limited research has assessed the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) from recreating in coastal waters, even though they are an established reservoir of UTI pathogens. We performed a prospective study of beachgoers in Santa Cruz, California over the summer of 2022 to examine the association between baseline recreational water and sand contact and subsequent UTI symptoms among adults who were assigned female at birth. We additionally analyzed surveillance data on fecal indicators in the same recreational water on dates when participants enrolled in the study. We observed significant increases in gastrointestinal illness and UTI among swimmers compared to non-swimmers. UTI risk was associated with the type of exposure; odds ratios (ORs) increased from waist deep submersion (OR = 3.1; 95% CI: 1.4-6.9) to head submersion (OR = 5.1; 95% CI: 1.7-18.9) to swallowed water (OR = 8.69; 95% CI: 2.2-33.9). Among water quality samples across sites and study dates, 15% exceeded advisory thresholds, including fecal coliform, Enterococcus, and E. coli limits.

California’s Salinas Valley is an area where state policy is aiming to reduce nitrate leaching. Non-legume winter cover crops can help decrease nitrate leaching by scavenging residual soil nitrogen (N) during winter fallow periods following the cropping season. However, the ability of fall-incorporated cover crops to decrease nitrate leaching and recycle N to subsequent cash crops is unknown. We conducted a 112-d laboratory soil incubation experiment using ‘Merced’ rye (Secale cereale) cover crop shoot biomass, with four carbon (C/N) ratios (10, 14, 19, and 30), at three temperatures (10°C, 15°C, and 20°C). Destructive soil sampling was done at six intervals during the incubation to measure plant-available nitrogen (NO3-N + NH4-N). Rye biomass with the lowest C/N ratio (10:1) had the highest average nitrogen mineralization (Nmin) rate (56%) at the warmest temperature (20 °C). Conversely, biomass with the highest C/N (30) showed net nitrogen immobilization at 10 °C and 15 °C during the incubation, transitioning to net mineralization only at 20°C. We found a linear correlation between soil temperature and percent Nmin (at 112-d) for higher C/N ratios. Furthermore, doubling the soil mineral nitrogen content had a negligible impact on the percent mineralization of the C/N 30 residue. These results provide useful information to help farmers and policymakers understand mineralization dynamics from fall-, winter-, or spring-terminated cereal cover crops.", "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\").

Closed floating chambers are widely used to measure carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄) fluxes at the water–air interface, yet large uncertainties persist due to subjective processing of chamber time series. In particular, the treatment of non-linear patterns and abrupt events such as ebullition often relies on expert judgement, which may strongly influence flux estimates. We present the first quantitative assessment of bias arising from expert subjectivity in the processing of floating chamber measurements. Seventeen researchers, all of whom participated in field sampling, independently evaluated a common dataset of 794 incubations from 36 European coastal wetlands. Each expert visually selected valid data segments and flagged abnormal time series prior to flux calculation. In total, 2,679 manual inspections were compared with fully automated flux estimates based on untrimmed time series. Experts showed substantial variability in handling non-linear or irregular concentration patterns. While flux variability was generally low for most CO₂ and CH₄ incubations, disagreements exceeded 100% for curved or abrupt time series. For CH₄, ebullition was a major source of divergence, but marked variability also occurred when ebullition contributed only marginally to total fluxes. This methodological experiment demonstrates that expert judgement introduces significant, previously unquantified uncertainty into aquatic GHG flux estimates. We advocate for transparent, standardised, and reproducible data-processing workflows, including automated tools for objective identification and treatment of non-linearities.", "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, renewable energy sources such as wind and solar are highly weather sensitive, leading to a challenge when balancing energy demand and renewable energy production, and therefore in managing energy shortfall. Identifying periods of high shortfall, here defined as when electricity demand significantly exceeds production by renewables, and understanding how these periods are affected by weather, is therefore critical. We use a previously constructed energy dataset derived from reanalysis data for a fixed electricity system to analyse the link between weather regimes and periods of high shortfall during the boreal winter for 28 European countries. Building on previous work we provide a perspective spanning from the subcontinental scale to individual countries. For each country we identify days with critical energy conditions, focusing on those with high energy demand, low production from wind and solar, and high energy shortfall. We show that high shortfall is more driven by demand than by production in countries with colder climates or less installed wind generation capacity, and is more driven by production than by demand in countries with warmer climates or more installed wind generation capacity. Of the six North Atlantic weather regimes considered here, only a subset are found to favour the occurrence of high shortfall days. In particular, blocking-type weather regimes affect large parts of Europe, suggesting that shortfall days can occur across multiple countries simultaneously. Furthermore, if a subset of countries experience shortfall days, neighbouring countries have a higher likelihood of also experiencing shortfall days. Motivated by this result, we examine the hypothetical impact the coldest European winter of the 20th century, 1962/63, would have had on the present-day energy system. It is found that the persistent blocking conditions associated with that winter, if they occurred today, would lead to higher demand and shortfall across large parts of Europe during most of the winter, and would be extreme in this respect compared to other winters.</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\").

Using satellite data from MapBiomas and generalized additive models (GAMs), we evaluated changes in ten types of vegetation cover between 2006 and 2023 across collective territories governed by Afro-Colombian community councils and Indigenous reservations. Our results reveal a sustained loss of natural cover, particularly in community councils, driven by expanding mining and infrastructure activities, while Indigenous reservations experienced more limited transformations. We identified distinct patterns of change linked to historical, political, and social factors such as armed conflict, extractive concessions granted without prior communities consultation, and differing governance systems. Despite the legal recognition of the river as a rights-bearing entity, territorial impacts persist—highlighting the need to strengthen monitoring mechanisms, incorporate ecological indicators from the outset of legal rulings, and anchor implementation in environmental and ethno-territorial justice frameworks. Our findings demonstrate that, when properly contextualized, vegetation cover analysis can provide critical evidence to evaluate the material effectiveness of judicial decisions in biocultural territories.", "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 predominant source of N and P supplementation globally stems from the application of synthetic fertilizers. This study explores the potential of nutrient recovery and recycling from human urine as a viable alternative at sub-global and regional levels. Such an approach could significantly reduce energy consumption associated with fertilizer production and transportation, as well as the demand for precursor materials. Additionally, it would mitigate the risk of eutrophication resulting from the release of excess N and P into the environment via untreated or inadequately treated wastewater. By integrating waste material utilization within the nexus of social and ecological systems, this strategy may enhance socio-ecological resilience, particularly in urban areas. Here, economies of scale could facilitate the successful implementation of urine diversion and conversion initiatives, offering a sustainable solution for nutrient management in densely populated regions.", "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 presents a station-level analysis of meteorological and yield data across Iowa from 1998 to 2022 to investigate the relationship between multiple drought indices and detrended yields of Corn and Soybean. Eleven drought indicators were selected to capture both short-term and cumulative drought stress, including SPI at multiple timescales, SPEI, PDSI, EDDI, and CMI. Spearman correlation analysis revealed crop-specific sensitivities: corn yields were more affected by short-term atmospheric dryness (e.g., SPI-1, EDDI), while soybean yields responded more to long-term soil moisture deficits (e.g., SPI-6, PDSI, CMI). To reduce complexity and extract dominant sensitivity patterns, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was applied, and the first principal component (PC1) was used as a summary indicator of drought sensitivity. Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA) revealed statistically significant clusters of vulnerability, with High-High drought sensitivity zones for both crops concentrated in South Central Iowa. In contrast, low-low clusters indicated spatial drought resilience, particularly in North Central and East Central Iowa for Corn and North Central and Northwestern Iowa for soybeans. Moran's I scatterplots confirmed moderate spatial autocorrelation in PC1 values. This study demonstrates the value of combining multivariate statistics, spatial analysis, and unsupervised learning to map crop-specific responses to drought. Identifying regionally coherent sensitivity patterns provides a robust foundation for improving early warning systems, informing localized drought adaptation strategies, and guiding climate-resilient agricultural planning across the U.S. Corn Belt.</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": [ { "word": "Drought sensitivity" }, { "word": " Crop yield variability" }, { "word": " Principal Component Analysis" }, { "word": " K-means clustering" }, { "word": " Corn and Soybean yields" }, { "word": " Iowa agriculture." } ], "date_submitted": "2025-07-10T14:31:40.837000+06:00", "date_accepted": "2025-07-10T19:08:14.973000+06:00", "date_published": "2025-07-10T19:08:00+06:00", "doi": "https://doi.org/10.1007/s00271-025-01074-1", "preprint_doi": "10.31223/X5KF1J", "authors": [ { "pk": 26275, "first_name": "S M Samiul", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Islam", "salutation": "Mr", "orcid": "0000-0002-1123-2558" }, { "pk": 3764, "first_name": "Ibrahim", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Demir", "salutation": "Dr", "orcid": null }, { "pk": 111437, "first_name": "Most", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Fatematozzohora", "salutation": "", "orcid": null } ], "subject": [ { "name": "Engineering" } ], "files": [ { "original_filename": "Manuscript--Regional Clustering of Drought_EarthArxiv.pdf", "mime_type": "application/pdf", "download_url": "/repository/object/9631/download/17931/" }, { "original_filename": "Manuscript--Regional Clustering of Drought_EarthArxiv.pdf", "mime_type": "application/pdf", "download_url": "/repository/object/9631/download/17932/" } ], "supplementary_files": [] }, { "pk": 10216, "title": "Lorenz Energy Cycle Climatology for the Southwestern Atlantic Cyclones", "abstract": "This study presents a climatological assessment of the Lorenz Energy Cycle (LEC) applied to South Atlantic cyclones, using a Semi-Lagrangian framework. Over 6,700 cyclones were identified from ERA5 reanalysis (1979–2020), and LEC components were computed and averaged across four objectively defined life cycle phases: incipient, intensification, mature, and decay. Results reveal a coherent energy transfer structure: baroclinic conversions dominate during intensification, while barotropic conversions peak during the mature phase and reach magnitudes 2–3 times larger than baroclinic counterparts. Diabatic generation of eddy available potential energy plays a secondary but relevant role, particularly during intensification, occasionally surpassing baroclinic contributions. Eddy kinetic energy imports are most significant during the early phases, reinforcing development. Despite substantial variability among systems, an EOF analysis shows that most cyclones share a common energy structure, with variability manifesting as amplification or suppression of specific pathways. The leading EOFs are linked to differences in cyclone intensity, genesis region, and seasonality. Among the most intense systems, distinct clusters emerge with varying energetic configurations, some dominated by baroclinic processes, others by barotropic conversions or enhanced diabatic generation. These findings demonstrate that South Atlantic cyclones encompass a spectrum of dynamical behaviors and can be classified based on their energy cycle characteristics. This study provides the first large-sample application of the Semi-Lagrangian LEC to extratropical cyclones in the South Atlantic and highlights the importance of barotropic processes in their development. The results offer a robust framework for interpreting cyclone energetics and establish a comprehensive baseline for classifying these systems.", "license": { "name": "CC-BY Attribution-No Derivatives 4.0 International", "short_name": "CC BY-ND 4.0", "text": "Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 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-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

However, it is somewhat limited by typically requiring quartz saturation in magma. Here, we employ the principles from Parts 1-4 to move beyond modeling a specific mineral assemblage. We demonstrate methods for carefully interpreting rhyolite-MELTS geobarometry results to constrain multiple-phase equilibration pressure in quartz-undersaturated dacites to rhyolites, and where quartz saturation is uncertain. We show examples of storage pressure calculations from quartz-absent rhyodacites to rhyolites from Puyehue-Cordón Caulle (PCC), Chile and examples of equilibration between extracted rhyolitic melt compositions and unknown mush mineral assemblages from the Taupō Volcanic Zone, New Zealand. In these cases, orthopyroxene + plagioclase pressures can be used. However, orthopyroxene saturation pressure results are higher at lower modelled oxygen fugacity (fO2). This can be resolved by modelling at independently constrained fO2, or by modelling at a range of fO2 to search for orthopyroxene + magnetite + feldspar co-saturation. We show that orthopyroxene + magnetite + feldspar pressures for PCC are consistent with results from other geobarometers and occur at fO2 values within error of the fO2 calculated from Fe-Ti oxides. If quartz saturation is uncertain, quartz + feldspar pressures are a maximum and pyroxene-bearing pressures at low fO2 are a minimum. For uncertain mineral assemblages, the coincidence of multiple phases (≥3) saturating together at reasonable fO2 could be used to infer the equilibrium mineral assemblage. Careful inspection of rhyolite-MELTS geobarometry results therefore gives nuanced information about equilibration pressure, mineral assemblage, and fO2.</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": [ { "word": "Geobarometry" }, { "word": "rhyolite-MELTS" }, { "word": "phase equilibrium" }, { "word": "Thermodynamics" }, { "word": "Taupo Volcanic Zone" }, { "word": "Puyehue-Cordón Caulle" } ], "date_submitted": "2024-10-29T07:09:15.844000+06:00", "date_accepted": "2024-10-30T03:13:40.296000+06:00", "date_published": "2024-10-29T23:13:00+06:00", "doi": "https://doi.org/10.1007/s00410-025-02274-w", "preprint_doi": "10.31223/X5HD9M", "authors": [ { "pk": 28179, "first_name": "Sarah", "middle_name": "Lynette", "last_name": "Smithies", "salutation": "Dr", "orcid": "0000-0002-7734-2952" }, { "pk": 27150, "first_name": "Guilherme", "middle_name": "Augusto Rosa", "last_name": "Gualda", "salutation": "", "orcid": "0000-0003-0720-2679" }, { "pk": 28060, "first_name": "Lydia", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Harmon", "salutation": "Dr", "orcid": "0000-0002-9985-705X" } ], "subject": [ { "name": "Geology" } ], "files": [ { "original_filename": "Part5_manuscript_EarthArXiv_2024Oct29.pdf", "mime_type": "application/pdf", "download_url": "/repository/object/7964/download/15018/" }, { "original_filename": "Smithies_CTMP_preprint_eartharxiv_v2.pdf", "mime_type": "application/pdf", "download_url": "/repository/object/7964/download/19086/" } ], "supplementary_files": [] }, { "pk": 8207, "title": "Groundwater connected art: practicing arts-based research to enrich how hydrogeology engages people, place and other disciplines", "abstract": "Groundwater depletion, contamination, and governance challenges persist despite decades of groundwater research.

Examples of groundwater in diverse art practices already exist and could be expanded in manifold ways through expressions of groundwater tastes, smells, sounds, textures, movements, landscapes, cultures and connections in community and into the future. Art can bridge gaps across disciplines, reach broader communities, and offer fresh ways of thinking about groundwater. From ideation to data collection and communication, the creative process has the power to make hydrogeology more human, emotional, and impactful. This article invites groundwater and environmental scientists to embrace creativity and collaboration with artists and communities to change how we engage and value this invisible resource.", "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": "arts-based research" }, { "word": "hydrogeology" }, { "word": "groundwater science" }, { "word": "environmental science" }, { "word": "Creativity" }, { "word": "Communication" }, { "word": "interdisciplinary water research" }, { "word": "socio-ecological systems" } ], "date_submitted": "2024-12-12T04:56:24.916000+06:00", "date_accepted": "2024-12-13T03:02:53.841000+06:00", "date_published": "2024-12-12T19:02:00+06:00", "doi": "https://doi.org/10.1007/s10040-026-03055-w", "preprint_doi": "10.31223/X5TB1P", "authors": [ { "pk": 4102, "first_name": "Tom", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Gleeson", "salutation": "Dr", "orcid": "0000-0001-9493-7707" } ], "subject": [ { "name": "Environmental Studies" }, { "name": "Hydrology" }, { "name": "Other Geography" } ], "files": [ { "original_filename": "Gleeson Groundwater and art PREPRINT Dec 2024.pdf", "mime_type": "application/pdf", "download_url": "/repository/object/8207/download/15422/" } ], "supplementary_files": [] }, { "pk": 8407, "title": "Philanthropy’s Role in Supporting Community-Level Climate Action in Atlantic Canada: Opportunities and Challenges", "abstract": "<p>This review explores how philanthropy contributes to climate action in Atlantic Canada, a region facing threats from extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and scarcity of resources that impact local communities. While public and private sector funding is vital, philanthropy offers unique opportunities to support localized, innovative climate solutions. This review explores the current climate finance landscape, identifies the specific needs of Atlantic Canadian communities, and evaluates how philanthropic funding can bridge gaps in financing. It focuses on the impact of philanthropy on climate adaptation and mitigation efforts, emphasizing community resilience and sustainability. While philanthropy can drive positive change, challenges such as equitable resource distribution, fostering systemic change, and empowering marginalized communities must be addressed. Philanthropic organizations should transition from providing short-term, project-focused funding to supporting long-term, transformative initiatives. Collaborative partnerships between governments, businesses, and civil society are key to maximizing impact. Addressing these challenges and embracing innovative approaches will enable philanthropy to serve as a powerful catalyst for climate action, fostering a more environmentally stable future and able to withstand climate challenges for Atlantic Canada and beyond.</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 take stock, we asked fifty experts to sort key statements, and Q-method analysis revealed four distinct framings. All agree that polycrisis spills across sectors and borders and reject the view that polycrisis is a mere buzzword. They diverge, however, on how much faith to place in current knowledge systems and on polycrisis’ drivers. Connecting these findings to Edgar Morin’s crisology recasts polycrisis as a metamorphic hinge where crisis and transformation intertwine. A forward agenda must therefore be historically grounded, relational, and reflexive: tracing feedbacks and power relations together, and welcoming plural knowledges. Morin’s principe de reliance also points to governance that is anticipatory, participatory, and cross-scalar. Taken together, the study shows that polycrisis is not a passing label but a fertile lens for understanding entangled planetary upheavals.</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\").

In the Central region this has led to a rise in the need for groundwater as potable water supply. However, the Central region is known to be characterized by unsuccessful rate of borehole drilling, which usually results in waste of time and resources. The need to delineate groundwater potential areas in the region has long been known. This study sought to map and delineate the groundwater potential zones of the Central Region by integrating input variables such as lineaments map deduced from magnetic data, digital elevation model, geology, soil type, land use land cover, drainage density, slope and flow accumulation maps using Fuzzy Logic (an Artificial Intelligence based algorithm) in a GIS software. The final map of groundwater potential was validated using borehole yield data and the reliability testing using the area under curve operation technique. Results of the study revealed that, the region is characterized by very low to high groundwater potential zones. About 3461.16 km2 of the region representing 35.68% and 3176.88 km2 (32.74%) were found to have low and very low groundwater potential respectively. Moderate groundwater potential zones cover about 1978 km2 constituting 20.4%, and high groundwater potential zones covers the least of about 1083.7 km2, representing 17%. The final output revealed that the high potential areas are mainly located in the central part of the region which is mainly occupied by granitoids rock types. The low areas are mostly encountered in the south eastern but are found also in the northern and central part of the region and fall mainly on metavolcanics rocks. It is recommended that the prospectively map can give valuable insights for sustainable water resource management and development in the Central region and also serve as guide for upcoming drilling campaigns in the region.", "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 rapid, turbulent, and large-scale nature of atmospheric transport facilitates both horizontal and vertical movement of MNPs over long distances within a short time, largely independent of topographical constraints, thereby accelerating their global cycle and exacerbating their impacts. Research on the atmospheric life cycle of MNPs primarily relies on a combination of observations and numerical modelling, yet emission estimates remain the major source of uncertainty, posing substantial challenges for lifecycle assessment. This review synthesises findings from atmospheric observations and numerical modelling studies conducted over the past five years to examine the sources and long-range transport dynamics of MNPs, as well as the key factors influencing their transport, while also quantifying uncertainties in emission flux estimates. Two major uncertainties persist: the wide variability in marine emission estimates, which span four orders of magnitude, and the unresolved question of whether terrestrial or marine sources are the dominant contributors to atmospheric micro/nanoplastic emissions. Furthermore, this review highlights critical factors driving these uncertainties, including limited data availability, inconsistencies in observational methodologies, oversimplified simulations, and gaps in understanding atmospheric cycling mechanisms. Additionally, variations in the particle size ranges targeted by different observational and modelling studies hinder cross-comparisons and model evaluations, representing another important source of uncertainty. To address these issues, we call for establishing a global network of standardised observations, improving sampling and simulation practices, and incorporating artificial intelligence. These strategies will enhance our understanding of the complete atmospheric cycle of MNPs, paving the way for more effective environmental management and better-informed policy decisions.", "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\").

So, understanding how LULC changes influence ESs is critical for sustainable land management and conservation planning, especially in rapidly urbanizing watersheds. Despite studies examining individual ecosystem services, there remains a notable research gap in comprehensive, spatially explicit analyses integrating multiple ESs across historical and projected timelines. This study addresses this gap by assessing the impacts of historical and projected LULC changes on multiple ESs in the Hillsborough River Watershed in Florida, USA, from 2000 through projected scenarios to 2050. Using a combination of remote sensing data, the Land Change Modeler (LCM) within TerrSet software, and the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) model, we quantified and projected changes in six ESs: annual water yields, flood mitigation, carbon storage, nutrient retention, sediment export, and recreational visitation. Additionally, ecosystem service values (ESVs) were economically assessed using inflation-adjusted global valuation coefficients. Results revealed that from 2000 to 2023, urban land expanded by over 30%, primarily replacing croplands, wetlands, and forests. This urbanization reduced carbon storage by 11.8% and runoff retention by 4.6%, while sediment export increased by 9.4%. The total ESV declined by approximately $450 million, highlighting substantial ecological and economic losses. Projected scenarios indicated continued urban growth by 2050, with urban areas potentially occupying nearly half of the watershed. This expansion would further reduce carbon storage by an additional 11.1%, runoff retention by 2.9%, and sediment export 10.9%. Consequently, cumulative ESV losses are projected to surpass $1 billion by 2050. These findings underscore the urgent need for integrating ecosystem-based conservation strategies into urban policy frameworks. By adopting proactive measures that prioritize high-value natural areas and promote ecological restoration, stakeholders can better balance urban growth with environmental sustainability ensuring long-term resilience for both natural and human communities.", "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": "Land use/land cover change" }, { "word": "Urban expansion" }, { "word": "Ecosystem Service" }, { "word": "InVEST model" }, { "word": "Land Change Modeler" }, { "word": "watershed management" } ], "date_submitted": "2025-09-24T02:30:54.824000+06:00", "date_accepted": "2025-09-24T23:58:06.353000+06:00", "date_published": "2025-09-24T04:57:00+06:00", "doi": "https://doi.org/10.1007/s41748-025-00995-3", "preprint_doi": "10.31223/X5P167", "authors": [ { "pk": 120834, "first_name": "Fahad", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Hasan", "salutation": "", "orcid": "0009-0009-7824-5538" }, { "pk": 120835, "first_name": "Yashar", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Makhtoumi", "salutation": "", "orcid": null }, { "pk": 120836, "first_name": "Gang", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Chen", "salutation": "", "orcid": null } ], "subject": [ { "name": "Environmental Engineering" }, { "name": "Environmental Studies" }, { "name": "Geographic Information Sciences" }, { "name": "Hydraulic Engineering" }, { "name": "Nature and Society Relations" }, { "name": "Remote Sensing" } ], "files": [ { "original_filename": "Preprint_Eartharxiv.pdf", "mime_type": "application/pdf", "download_url": "/repository/object/10322/download/19048/" } ], "supplementary_files": [] }, { "pk": 7471, "title": "A Systematic Review of Neural Network Applications for Groundwater Level Prediction", "abstract": "<p>Physical models have long been employed for groundwater level (GWL) prediction. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI), particularly neural networks (NNs), have gained widespread use in forecasting GWL. Forecasting of GWL is essential to enable analyze, quantify and manage groundwater. This systematic review investigates the application of NNs for GWL prediction, focusing on the architectures of the various NN models employed. The study utilizes the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) methodology to screen and synthesize relevant scientific article. Various NN architectures, such as artificial neural networks (ANNs), feedforward neural networks (FFNNs), backpropagation neural networks (BPNNs), long short-term memory (LSTM), and hybrid models, were analyzed. The results from the systematic review indicates a growing preference for hybrid models, which are effective in capturing hidden relationships between GWL and environmental factors. The root mean square error (RMSE) emerges as the predominant performance metrics, highlighting its significance in evaluating NNs. Results from the review also highlights the significance of comprehensive, long-term datasets covering a decade for a robust trend analyses and accurate predictions. The findings, contribute to a deeper understanding of new trends in groundwater research such as the application of neural networks for prediction problems in groundwater research. In conclusion, hybrid metaheuristic algorithm produced more efficient results emphasizing their efficacy. In addition, lagged values were essential input for GWL prediction.

Physically based hydrological models are often unsuitable at small spatiotemporal scales due to their computational complexity and dependence on detailed local parameters, which are rarely available during flash floods. With the growing availability of hydrological data, machine learning (ML) has emerged as a promising alternative. This work performs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to improve our understanding of the research landscape on ML applications for flash flood forecasting, a significant subset of flash flood modeling. From more than 1,200 papers published until January 2024 in Web of Science, SCOPUS/Elsevier, Springer/Nature, and Wiley, 50 were selected following PRISMA guidelines. The inclusion and exclusion criteria removed reviews, retractions, papers focused on post-flood damage assessment (not forecasting), and those with time resolutions of 6 hours or more, retaining only studies with fine-scale temporal data (<6 hours). For each paper, we extracted information on forecasting horizon, study area size, input data, ML techniques, and outcomes (regression or classification). Results show a sharp rise in ML-based flash flood research, with China leading (38%). Nearly all studies rely on rainfall, discharge, and water level data - often in combination. Long short-term memory (LSTM) networks dominate (60%). Unfortunately, only 10% of the selected studies provide access to their datasets. This lack of transparency poses a major barrier to reproducibility, inhibits fair comparative evaluation of models, and ultimately slows methodological progress in flash flood forecasting. Furthermore, our review highlights that no method consistently outperforms others. This variability in performance is likely influenced by factors such as regional hydrological characteristics (e.g., differences between arid and tropical basins), variations in input data quality, and the length of the forecast horizon (e.g., 1- vs. 6-hour prediction). Lastly, we recommend advancing this field through integration with early warning systems, creation of benchmarks, open data practices, and stronger multidisciplinary collaboration.</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\").

Utilizing multi-temporal satellite imagery and geospatial analysis, morphometric indicators were quantified across 41 cross-sectional zones over four intervals: 1987–1975, 1999–1987, 2011–1999, and 2023–2011. Results show a clear intensification of lateral channel migration, with several zones exhibiting rates exceeding 4 m/year and R² > 0.90. Channel width expanded significantly—from 4.75 m to 83.64 m—confirmed by repeated measures ANOVA (p < 0.001). Though overall sinuosity change was not statistically significant (p = 0.223), local analyses revealed both meander amplification and channel straightening. The Radius-to-Width ratio consistently exceeded 2.0, indicating persistent bend curvature stability. Sediment budget analysis revealed a transition from net erosion (–181.55 m²) during 1987–1975 to substantial net accretion (+2778.11 m²) by 2023–2011, with a strong linear trend (R² = 0.90).

However, we could manage the irrigation by monitoring the plant's water status by measuring the stem water potential (Ψs), which is currently costly and time-consuming. The primary goal of this work is to predict the daily spatial variation of Ψs using machine learning models. We measured Ψs in two orchards planted with sweet cherry tree variety Regina, and we monitored 30 trees weekly and biweekly in the central part of Chile, during two seasons, 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, and between October and April. To predict the Ψs, we used the random forest (RF), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and support vector machine (SVM) models. We selected vapor pressure deficit (VPD), reference evapotranspiration (ET0), relative humidity, and temperature as weather predictors. Also, we used as predictors spectral vegetation indices (VIs) and biophysical parameters derived from Sentinel-2. We compared two schemes, one for estimation and another for prediction. We discovered that XGboost and RF worked best for both. The estimation had an R2 of 0.76 and an RMSE of 0.24 MPa. The prediction, on the other hand, had an R2 of 0.59 and an RMSE of 0.36 MPa. The analysis of importance variables reveals that weather predictors, such as VPD, ET0, and temperature, have a higher weight in the model. These are followed by VIs that use short-wave infrared regions, which highlight the moisture stress index (MSI) and the disease and water stress index (DWSI).</p>\n<div id=\"simple-translate\" class=\"simple-translate-system-theme\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"simple-translate-button isShow\" style='background-image: url(\"moz-extension://d5a07475-1644-4a4e-afe1-3bbb9a1b5383/icons/512.png\"); height: 22px; width: 22px; top: 97px; left: 325px;'> </div>\n<div class=\"simple-translate-panel \" style=\"width: 300px; height: 200px; top: 0px; left: 0px; font-size: 13px;\">\n<div class=\"simple-translate-result-wrapper\" style=\"overflow: hidden;\">\n<div class=\"simple-translate-move\"> </div>\n<div class=\"simple-translate-result-contents\">\n<p class=\"simple-translate-result\"> </p>\n<p class=\"simple-translate-candidate\"> </p>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>", "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\").

Yet, process-based urban climate models face limitations of high-entry barriers and substantial computing resource consumption, prompting the development of data-driven methods. However, the recently developed urban climate emulators, being location-dependent, are less scalable and may overlook geospatial data. In this study, we develop location-independent machine learning emulators for the daily maximum canyon air temperature. To overcome the complexities associated with model selection and hyperparameter optimization in machine learning, we apply automated machine learning (AutoML) to emulation tasks and propose a feature importance analysis framework for the AutoML models. By comparing four types of global urban climate emulators, we found that the location information and urban surface parameters can improve the emulation performance. The results of the AutoML tasks demonstrate that AutoML excels in learning the physics-based urban climate model, achieving a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 0.81 Kelvin for emulators parameterized with location information and urban surface parameters, and an RMSE of 0.91 Kelvin in the temporal extrapolation scenario. The feature importance of the emulators indicates that urban morphological parameters contribute more to the emulators than radiative and thermal parameters. The study serves as a demonstration of the potential that AutoML holds for advancing urban climate research and facilitating urban climate modeling.

Using statistical methods that have been designed to segment optical images, we have developed a procedure to segment zonation within minerals and correlate these zones between multiple crystals using elemental maps. This allows us to quantify the complexity and variability of chemical zoning between different geological samples. Specifically, we employ a simple linear iterative clustering algorithm, which splits the chemical maps into spatially constrained regions of similar chemistry. The result is a texturally segmented crystal, akin to what would be identified by the human eye. To aid the segmentation and correlation of zones, we also introduce a new method to classify multiple mineral phases within a single thin section. This is based on a finite mixture model approach, which proves very effective in removing mixed pixels that will only introduce noise into the segmentation. We provide an example using the mineral phase plagioclase. Using two contemporaneous samples from an eruptive unit on the island of St. Kitts we show that a volcanic bomb (~10cm) and scoria (~2cm) have similar rim compositions but distinctly different core compositions. Our methodology will enable a statistical characterization of 2D complexity of crystals in a variety of different geo-scientific disciplines.

In particular, the influence of loading parameters on hardness, elastic modulus, fracture toughness, and time-dependent deformation of individual clay minerals remains insufficiently explored. This study addresses this gap through systematic nanoindentation experiments on ripidolite and illite, evaluating the effects of peak load, holding time, and loading rate on their mechanical response. Load-displacement curves revealed distinct behaviors: ripidolite frequently displayed pop-in events associated with localized plasticity, whereas illite deformed more smoothly. Across all conditions, illite showed shallower indentation depths, higher hardness, and higher elastic modulus, consistent with its stiffer microstructure and harder mineral inclusions. Ripidolite demonstrated a stronger indentation size effect in hardness and generally higher fracture toughness, indicating a greater ability to dissipate energy before crack propagation. Post-indentation imaging confirmed contrasting deformation modes, with ripidolite producing pronounced pile-up without visible cracking and illite showing limited pile-up but radial and lateral cracks. Creep tests revealed a two-stage response in both minerals; however, illite displayed higher creep ratios despite its greater strength, suggesting enhanced time-dependent deformation. Overall, these results highlight a fundamental trade-off: illite offers superior short-term resistance but is more vulnerable to brittle fracture and viscous strain, while ripidolite better resists crack growth but is more prone to immediate plastic deformation. Understanding such parameter-dependent behaviors improves predictions of caprock sealing performance under variable stress histories, informing risk assessments for subsurface energy storage operations.", "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\").

European mangroves originated at the Paleocene/Eocene boundary in western Europe as relatively diverse communities comprising seven true-mangrove taxa, including the major mangrove-forming elements Rhizophoraceae, Avicennia and Nypa. Some taxa arrived from the Indo-West Pacific (IWP) via the Tethyan seaway, while others evolved locally. The occurrence of Pelliciera, the only element from the Atlantic–East Pacific (AEP) region, remains questioned. Maximum expansion and diversity occurred during the Early–Middle Eocene (Ypresian–Bartonian), coinciding with Cenozoic thermal and eustatic maxima. The European mangrove flora was completed following the arrival of seven additional true-mangrove and associate elements; however, four of these, including Rhizophoraceae, disappeared by the Lutetian. A first diversity crisis occurred during the Priabonian, when Nypa became the sole European mangrove component. This coincided with the cooling trend preceding the abrupt Eocene/Oligocene cooling and its associated eustatic drop, which restricted mangroves to southern refugia in Anatolia and Iberia. Following the definitive disappearance of Nypa during the Aquitanian, a mangrove recovery—in terms of geographical range but not diversity—culminated during the Middle Miocene Climatic Optimum. During this Langhian maximum, Avicennia-only mangroves formed an extensive arc across the northern proto-Mediterranean and Paratethys. A second crisis during the Messinian Salinity Crisis almost eradicated European mangroves, forcing Avicennia into a Black Sea refugium before its final disappearance during the Pliocene. Finally, pending uncertainties and knowledge gaps are identified, and further studies are proposed to address them.", "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\").

Based on the spatial and temporal reproducibility, the excursion previously has been interpreted as tracking the carbon isotopic composition of dissolved inorganic carbon in the global ocean before the descent into a snowball Earth. However, in modern restricted shallow marine and freshwater settings, carbon isotope values have a similarly large range, which is mostly independent from open ocean chemistry and instead reflects local processes. In this study, we combine calcium, magnesium, and strontium isotope geochemistry with a numerical model of carbonate diagenesis to disentangle the degree to which the Trezona excursion reflects changes in global seawater chemistry versus local shallow-water platform environments. Our analysis demonstrates that the most extreme carbon isotope values (~-10 per mill versus +10 per mill) are preserved in former platform aragonite that was neomorphosed to calcite during sediment-buffered conditions and record the primary carbon isotope composition of platform-top surface waters. In contrast, the downturn and recovery of the Trezona excursion are recorded in carbonates that were altered during early fluid-buffered diagenesis and commonly are dolomitized. We also find that the nadir of the Trezona excursion is associated with a fractional increase in siliciclastic sediments, whereas the recovery from the excursion correlates with a relative increase in carbonate. This relationship suggests that the extreme negative isotopic shift in platform aragonite occurred in concert with periods of increased input of siliciclastic sediments, changes in water depth, and possibly nutrients to platform environments. Although the process for generating extremely negative carbon isotope values in Neoproterozoic platform carbonates remains enigmatic, we speculate that these excursions reflect kinetic isotope effects associated with CO2 invasion in platform waters during periods of intense primary productivity.", "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 present zircon trace and rare earth element and Lu-Hf measurements of zircons ~ 3.3 Ga to ~ 4.2 Ga from the Older Metamorphic Tonalitic Gneiss in the Singhbhum Craton to better understand geodynamic changes during the Hadean and Archean. We find decreasing, subchondritic zircon εHfT among zircons > 3.8 Ga and no indication of addition of new crustal material during the Hadean after initial formation of this protocrust. Trace and rare earth element analyses of >3.8 Ga grains indicate derivation from a source heavily influenced by the enriched mantle with little evidence for flux melting, and no clear evidence for deep melting. At ~ 3.8 Ga, we observe an average εHfT increase indicating new additions of juvenile material. These zircons still show predominantly mantle-like trace elements, but with the appearance of some arc-like trace element zircon signatures and evidence for crustal thickening. This period of crustal reorganization speaks towards a shift in geodynamic regime characterized by the onset of communication between the mantle and the crust from which the zircons formed at this location. The presence of long-lived, mantle-derived protocrust in both India and South Africa appears to suggest the possibility of a stagnant lid, albeit more data is necessary to confirm this. The presence of a transition of εHfT data globally may point towards an important period of crustal reorganization 3.9 – 3.6 Ga ago.

However, it has yet to be demonstrated that the CO2 content measured during bulk analysis of fluid inclusion gas on halite accurately represents the overlying air at various CO2 concentrations and not the exsolution of some or all of the dissolved inorganic carbon. Based on the kinetics of the carbonate system and aqueous solubility of CO2, we hypothesize that the CO2 measured by bulk analysis of fluid inclusion gas is derived solely from a mixture between CO2 (g) and [CO2]aq (CO2 from air and air-saturated brine). To address this, we first conducted depressurization experiments on atmospherically equilibrated carbonate solutions, and by mass balance we show that only CO2(aq) degasses during solution depressurization, while the remaining HCO3– and CO32– combine with Na+ cations to precipitate NaHCO3 salt. In addition, we performed mechanical decrepitation experiments on lab-grown halite that was precipitated in a sealed pressure vessel under various CO2 partial pressures (PCO2; 450 ppm, 3000 ppm, and 5000 ppm). Volatile contents of the carbonate solutions and the lab-grown halite were analyzed with a quadrupole mass spectrometer. Measured CO2 content falls between the expected values of air and air-saturated brine for the different PCO2 conditions, and by partitioning the contributions of the gaseous and aqueous phases, we observe atmospheric PCO2 that closely matches the starting conditions. Our findings demonstrate that fluid inclusions in halite faithfully entrap and preserve CO2 from the overlying atmosphere and that the exsolution of DIC during decrepitation does not meaningfully contribute to the measured CO2, giving confidence in applying our methods to new and existing analyses of both modern and ancient natural halite. Bulk gas analysis of fluid inclusions is one of the few methods to directly constrain ancient atmospheric composition through deep time and extend the record of atmospheric PCO2 well beyond the ice cores. </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\").

The evolution of coral rubble (shingle) islands within these ecosystems relies on the complex eco-morphodynamic relationship between the supply of biogenic sediment from the reef and subsequent transport by hydrodynamic forces. Storms have the potential to alter this relationship, posing a potential threat to rubble islands structure and stability with the forecasted increase of the intensity of storms in the Southwest Pacific with climate change. Traditional methods of monitoring the impacts of storm focus on long-term effects, often utilising field-based approaches. Here we use unpiloted aerial vehicles (UAVs) and remotely sensed data as a cost-effective method to provide high-resolution spatial data to understand short-term effects of tropical cyclones, and the resulting storm generated waves. We observed the impacts of TC Gabrielle (2023) on One Tree Reef within the Southern Great Barrier Reef and quantified the changes of One Tree Island (OTI), a well-developed rubble island (~5.9 Ha), and Two Tree Island (TTI), a developing rubble island (~0.1 Ha). At both islands, shoreline length decreased (-7.3% TTI, -0.5% OTI) and total rubble volume decreased (-1.8% TTI, -0.3% OTI). The rubble tracts attached to OTI prograded towards the island as result of the TC and distributed sediment along its shore. This study presents high-resolution data for remote rubble islands and incorporates a detailed volumetric analysis complementing traditional planimetric methods for the monitoring of remote islands.

However, the uneven spatial and temporal resolution of existing sea-level data has hindered regional-scale assessments. Here, we compile and standardize 1108 relative sea-level (RSL) data points from Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, and Chilean Tierra del Fuego, creating the first comprehensive Holocene RSL database for the southwestern Atlantic. The data reveal a widespread Mid-Holocene highstand between ~7000 and 4000 cal BP, with sea level rising 2 to 4 m above present, followed by a gradual fall to modern levels. This pattern is consistent with GIA model predictions across the region’s >50° latitudinal span. Peak rates of RSL change occurred during the Early to Mid-Holocene transition, reaching up to 17.2 mm/yr in Tierra del Fuego and decreasing to 1.6 mm/yr near the Amazon delta. After ~5000 cal BP, RSL rates decelerated, averaging –0.5 mm/yr into the Late Holocene. This standardized database fills a critical geographic gap and provides a robust framework for refining GIA models and understanding sea-level evolution since the Last Glacial Maximum in the Southern Hemisphere.</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 contrast, OAE3 (~88–84 Ma) is considered to have occurred independently of LIP volcanism. Here we present a record of OAE3-related black shale deposition in Costa Rica that is coeval with the peak phase of the Caribbean LIP. Radiolarian biostratigraphy and zircon U-Pb geochronology from the Loma Chumico Formation indicate that black shale formation in the Costa Rican forearc was synchronous with the onset of OAE3 at around 88 Ma. Recently revised 40Ar/39Ar ages of LIPs show that the Caribbean LIP is the best candidate to hypothesize a causal link between OAE3 and a major magmatic event. Peak volcanism of the Caribbean LIP between 88 and 86 Ma occurred at the same time as global carbon cycle perturbations in marine and terrestrial settings, as well as oceanic anoxia. New mercury records, calibrated with carbon isotopes and used as a proxy for LIP volcanism, from ODP Hole 700B and IODP Hole U1513A suggest that the Caribbean LIP not only coincided with OAE3 but may have actually triggered it. Overall, these new and existing data suggest a significant role of the Caribbean LIP in driving environmental and climatic perturbations during the Coniacian–Santonian.", "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 introduces Floodcraft, an open-source educational game developed using the Minecraft platform to teach K-12 students about flood preparedness and mitigation methods interactively. The game encompasses four key tasks, each representing a distinct flood mitigation strategy: building floodwalls, sandbagging, wet floodproofing, and elevating structures. Players must complete these challenges successfully, demonstrating the proper application of each approach. The game and its tasks were implemented using a combination of Minecraft modding and commands. Floodcraft aims to engage younger generations in learning about flood risks and mitigation strategies through an enjoyable, hands-on experience. By leveraging Minecraft's platform, the game promotes creativity and enjoyment in the learning process.

Changes in pore structure and hydraulic properties are likely to occur in carbonate rocks when they interact with CO2 as an acid-producing agent, potentially affecting CO2 flow and storage behavior in the subsurface. Here, we combine laboratory experiments and numerical simulations of CO2-saturated water and HCl solution injections into limestone specimens to develop an improved understanding of reactive flow in these rocks. We employ a digital rock approach based on X-ray micro-computed tomography (µCT) to construct heterogeneous rock permeability maps, fed as inputs into 3D Darcy-scale reactive transport models of the experiments. The simulations satisfactorily reproduce measured changes in effluent chemistry, porosity and permeability as well as the observed dissolution features in reacted rock samples. The complete dissociation of HCl as a strong acid results in compact dissolution, numerically captured using the classical Kozeny-Carman porosity-permeability relationship. In contrast, the partial dissociation of aqueous CO2 as a weak acid and the related pH-buffering effect drive strong feedback between fluid flow and dissolution, leading to wormhole formation. This dissolution pattern can be only reproduced by a large exponent (15 to 27.6) in the porosity-permeability relationship. We show that dimensionless Péclet and Damköhler numbers alone cannot predict the observed dissolution patterns in the rock. The obtained results highlight the primary control of small-scale heterogeneities and acid type on coupled flow and chemical reactions in permeable limestones and the need for a rigorous upscaling approach for field-scale studies.
