We demonstrate a method for the prediction of seismic discontinuity topography from thermochemical Mantle Circulation Models (MCMs). We find the discontinuity depth by using the peak reflectivity at each location in our mid-mantle, taking account of compositional as well as thermal variations. We make some comparisons of our predicted topographies with those observed using SS-precursors, developing a simple smoothing filter to capture the distribution of sensitivity of a published topography model -- finding that such filtering has a significant impact on the predicted discontinuity topographies. We also consider the significance of lateral variations in reflectivity or reflection amplitude in our predicted datasets and the real Earth. Finally, we consider what aspects of mid-mantle discontinuity structure would be matched by the predicted discontinuity structure from an Earth-like MCM -- particularly the mean depths of the discontinuities, the amplitude of the topography and the shape of its spherical harmonic spectra.

Here, we investigate hydraulic connectivity and its influence on ice motion at Isunnguata Sermia - a large land-terminating outlet glacier of the Greenland Ice Sheet. We use ‘Cryoegg’ wireless sensors to obtain moulin water pressure and electrical conductivity, in conjunction with passive seismics to measure glacio-hydraulic tremor and GNSS-derived measurements of ice motion. We identify rapid switching (24 hours) of subglacial hydraulic connectivity between a large, primary subglacial drainage axis located in a deep trough, and subsidiary secondary subglacial channels. When surface melt inputs are high, the secondary channels fed by the instrumented moulins couple to the efficient primary subglacial drainage axis, exhibiting smoothed diurnal variability and synchronization with regional ice motion and seismic tremor. When melt inputs decrease, the secondary drainage system becomes isolated and responds sensitively to variations in local melt inputs, causing a reduction in hydraulic connectivity and an increase in local meltwater residence time. Regional ice motion appears completely controlled by the characteristics of the primary subglacial drainage axis and is insensitive to local inputs to secondary channels.

Contemporary terrestrial organosedimentary deposits are important archives for understanding the perturbation in the biogeochemical cycling during this critical episode in Earth's history. Here, we report an intertrappean lacustrine carbonate deposit from the Amba Dongar region in the northwestern part of the Deccan igneous province, formed during the terminal phase of Deccan volcanism. This sedimentary horizon contains two types of biologically induced carbonate deposits: (1) older Type I (fine and discontinuous laminae with uneven boundaries) and younger Type II (thick and regular laminae with well-defined boundaries). Our sedimentological and stable isotope investigation captures evidence of gradual eutrophication of the lake system associated with the Deccan volcanism. Based on the clumped isotope-based temperature estimates (33°-41°C), we propose a “hot and sour soup”-like condition promoting microbial carbonate precipitation.

Kanamori \n(1977) advocated use of Mw for large earthquakes (≥ 7.5). \n(Hanks and Kanamori in J. Geophys. Res. 84:2348–2350) \nlater extended the Mw scale named as M scale by considering \nclose coincidence of three equations. The use of the moment \nmagnitude scale M scale for magnitudes below 7.5 is not \nappropriate, as Eq. (1) from Purcaru and Berckhemer (Pur\ncaru and Berckhemer in Tectonophysics 49:189–198, 1978) \nwas specifically derived for Ms values in the range of Ms ≲ \n7.0. Furthermore, the M scale has not been validated globally \nfor magnitudes below 7.5; its validation is limited to South\nern California. Additionally, the M or Mw scale is based on \nsurface waves and may not be applicable for all earthquake \ndepths. Furthermore, Gutenberg and Richter (Gutenberg and \nRichter in Bull Seismol Soc Am 46:105–145, 1956) recom\nmended using body waves, rather than surface waves, for \nthe development of a magnitude scale as surface waves do \nnot represent the earthquake source. To address these short\ncomings, the Das Magnitude scale (Mwg) has been intro\nduced in recent literature (Bulletin of Seismological Society \nof America, Das et al. (Das et al. in Bull Seism Soc Am \n109:1542–1555, 2019); Natural Hazard, 2023), incorporat\ning global data during 1976–2006 with 25,708 events with \nobserved seismic moments (Mo) and body wave magnitudes (mb), in line with the recommendations of Gutenberg and \nRichter (Gutenberg and Richter in Bull Seismol Soc Am \n46:105–145, 1956). Recent seismological literature (Gasp\nerini and Lolli, (Gasperini and Lolli in Bull Seismol Soc \nAm, 2024)) has inaccurately critiqued Das et al. (Das et al. \nin Bull Seism Soc Am 109:1542–1555, 2019), stating that \nthe M scale is adequate and suggesting that certain foun\ndational assumptions of the Mwg scale are inappropriate. \nHowever, our detailed analysis demonstrates that the Mwg \nscale is firmly grounded in robust scientific evidence and \nconstructed on sound principles. It is important to note that \nall magnitude scales, including Mw, M, and Me, are devel\noped using linear least squares methods. Therefore, if the \nfundamental assumptions underlying the Mw, M, and Me \nscales are considered valid, there is no justifiable reason to \nchallenge the foundational assumptions of the Mwg scale. \nMwg uses body-wave magnitude instead of surface waves \nand is applicable to all depths, making it more suitable for \na wider range of earthquakes. Mwg is a better measure of \nenergy release compared to Mw, providing a more accurate \nrepresentation of earthquake strength. The Mwg scale dem\nonstrates a closer correspondence with observed mb and Ms \nvalues at a global level compared to the M scale. The aver\nage difference between observed mb and M is − 0.31 ± 0.30, \nwhereas the difference between observed mb and Mwg is sig\nnificantly smaller at 0.008 ± 0.33 (Das et al. (Das et al. in \nBull Seism Soc Am 109:1542–1555, 2019)). The uncertainty \nassociated with the development of Mwg is limited due to \nits simplicity, while Mw or M involve a constant term and \nmultiple substitutions, potentially introducing additional \nuncertainty. Mwg was developed and validated using global \ndatasets, ensuring its applicability to a diverse range of seis\nmic events. The Mwg scale significantly reduces the statistical \ndifferences with mb and Ms compared to the larger discrepan\ncies observed with M, offering a more reliable framework for understanding regional energy budgets. In this manuscript, \nwe critically compare Mw, M, and Mwg scales. We revalidated \nthe M scale using a comprehensive global dataset, finding \nthat it significantly deviates from observed mb (< 5.5) and Ms \n(6–8) within their respective applicable ranges. Furthermore, \nrevalidation of the M scale concludes that it is not appropriate \nto be below 7.5.","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":"Seismic moment magnitude scale · Body wave magnitude (mb) · Surface-wave magnitude · Mwg Scale · Seismic moment"}],"date_submitted":"2025-06-11T22:31:18.010000+02:00","date_accepted":"2025-06-13T00:22:11.839000+02:00","date_published":"2025-06-13T00:22:00+02:00","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s40098-024-01147-6","preprint_doi":"10.31223/X5CF1P","authors":[{"pk":110043,"first_name":"Ranjit","middle_name":"","last_name":"DAS Das","salutation":"Dr","orcid":null},{"pk":110044,"first_name":"Arindam","middle_name":"","last_name":"DAS","salutation":"","orcid":null}],"subject":[{"name":"Engineering"},{"name":"Physical Sciences and Mathematics"}],"files":[{"original_filename":"Mw scale Limitations.pdf","mime_type":"application/pdf","download_url":"/repository/object/9393/download/17525/"}],"supplementary_files":[]},{"pk":9394,"title":"Mitigating Methane in Jordan: National Inventory, Emission Projections, and Policy Pathways","abstract":"Jordan currently lacks a comprehensive national methane inventory with uncertainty analysis
that integrates multi-sectoral sources, future projections, and mitigation pathways. This study develops Jordan’s national methane inventory and assesses emission trajectories and mitigation potential through 2050. Methane emissions from the energy, transport, agriculture, solid waste and wastewater sectors were quantified using the Low Emissions Analysis Platform– Integrated Benefits Calculator (LEAP-IBC), based on national activity data and IPCC emission factors. Stakeholder-validated intervention scenarios were evaluated against a business-as-usual trajectory. Baseline methane emissions in 2022 were estimated at 217.1 Gg CH₄ (109.2–358.7), dominated by the waste sectors (71%)—driven by municipal waste (66.5%) and domestic wastewater (4%)—followed by agriculture (22%), energy (7%), and transport (0.5%). Using GWP₁₀₀ = 28, 2022 emissions equal 6,082.9 Gg CO₂-eq (3,058.1–10,043.7) and are projected to
increase to ~ 11,100 Gg CO₂-eq (5,500–18,300) by 2050 under business-as-usual scenario, corresponding to a rise from ~ 217 to ~ 397 Gg CH₄ yr⁻1. Implementing the full mitigation package reduces emissions by up to 44.6% by 2030 and 59.8% by 2050 (to ~ 159 Gg CH₄ yr⁻1), with solid-waste interventions providing the largest and most robust reductions.
In 2019, the official delimitation of the Brazilian biomes was updated to a considerably more detailed description compared to the previous definition that lasted 15 years. This work investigates the possible effects of such changes in different political-administrative scales, ranging from biomes to the municipality level. We define effect levels according to the changes between the biomes in each scale, indicating the areas more subject to the changes in the newest version of the Brazilian biomes. Depending on the scale of the study, the changes in the Brazilian biomes might have significant effects, mainly in the Pampa biome, in Piauí, São Paulo, Sergipe, and Bahia states, and at the municipality level.

Nevertheless, there have been no geomorphological and sedimentological investigations about the (quasi-)natural context for the creation of the lake, its importance as a potential sediment archive and the subsequent use of the lake area until modern times. No relics of the lake can be observed in today's landscape. We investigated the geomorphological setting of the area using a high-resolution digital elevation model, groundwater level data, geophysical prospection, as well as sedimentological information from four sediment cores. This allows us to determine that the location of the lake is geomorphometrically deeper in relation to its receiving waters of the Old Weschnitz and was strongly fed by groundwater. Sedimentary analysis (core LOR 21A, unit 2) exhibits lake deposit, with characteristics indicative for a limnic environment and a high groundwater table. At the same time, adjacent stratigraphy shows drainage channel deposits (core LOR 20A, unit 3), which reflects anthropogenic controlled inflow via a channel (Renngraben). Our results based on a relative elevation model fit well with the historical records, that inflow for the anthropogenic channel was via the Old Weschnitz (topographically higher than the lake area) and that the artificial Landgraben-canal (topographical lower than the lake area) was overflowed with a bridge. It is a good example of how humans started as fluvial and water related agents at least for 500 years in the Weschnitz floodplain.

Anaerobic pathways of carbon mineralization by iron and sulfate reduction and methanogenesis, in particular, have existed over most of Earth history and have been central in shaping the chemistry of the oceans and atmosphere. The governing principles by which microbial metabolisms contribute to water-column chemistry, however, are incompletely understood in natural systems where microbes compete for resources. Contrary to common assumptions, thermodynamics often fails to reproduce the observed metabolic succession. Here, we analyze the coupled effects of thermodynamics, kinetics, population dynamics, and physical transport on the composition of microbial communities, their integrated rates of metabolic activity, and effects on the chemistry of aqueous environments. Together, these controls explain the microbiology and chemistry of modern lakes and seas, and constrain the expected variability in the Earth's oceans over geologic time. We find, in particular, that microbial sulfate reduction, despite being less thermodynamically favored than iron reduction, can account for a significant fraction of organic matter remineralization, even without producing measurable concentrations of aqueous sulfide. In ferruginous water columns, methanogenesis is viable under low (<~100 uM) sulfate conditions, but methane accumulation in early oceans was unlikely before a widespread oxygenation of the ocean surface. We also illustrate how processes in anoxic water columns become reflected in the deposition of iron sulfide minerals that are commonly used as proxies of paleoredox conditions.","license":{"name":"CC-BY Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International","short_name":"CC BY-NC 4.0","text":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Public License\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

In Sub-Saharan Africa, sufficient biomass resource potential exists to become an actual feedstock for decentralised hydrogen production, but under-explored are the spatial mismatches between resource occurrences and infrastructure systems. The paper conducts a geospatial assessment of forestry biomass, crop residues, and livestock waste for green hydrogen production as feed stocks in Kenya's 47 counties. From high-resolution land cover and productivity maps, we developed feed stock distribution maps, estimated hydrogen yield potentials from thermochemical conversion models, and contrasted regional conversion efficiencies by Sankey flow analysis. Our findings indicate that although shrublands cover the majority of Kenya (~283,000 km²), forests and agricultural land are of higher quality feed-stocks with up to 400,000 tonnes/year hydrogen potentials at technical maximum scenarios. Gasification was the best conversion pathway, with high efficiency (up to 70%) and confluence with Kenya's decentralized energy needs. Scenario modeling highlighted drastic logistical constraints: in the rosy 20% utilization case, ~70,000 tonnes of hydrogen would be economically produced by 2035. Environmental co-benefits of 0.9 MtCO₂e per annum in net emission reductions and biochar-enhanced soil productivity enhance hydrogen's alignment with Kenya's just transition goals. The findings inform hydrogen plans segmented by location and highlight how biomass resource mapping can integrate national hydrogen roadmaps within emerging economies.

However, many consumers lack an understanding of the principles of sustainable eating.\nObjective: This study examined whether a gamified quiz could enhance knowledge about the environmental impact of food. Additionally, it explored the role of prior knowledge and readiness for change, based on the Transtheoretical Model (TTM), in the learning process.\nMethods: A quasi-experimental, cross-sectional study with a pre-post design was conducted with 338 participants. Knowledge about sustainable eating was measured using a newly developed and piloted scale, and readiness for change was assessed using an adapted version of the TTM measures. The data were analyzed using t-tests, regression analyses, and variance analyses.\nResults: The quiz led to a significant increase in knowledge, particularly among participants with low prior knowledge. Contrary to expectations, no significant differences in knowledge gain were observed based on readiness to change, as defined by the Transtheoretical Model.\nConclusion: Gamification has the potential to enhance knowledge about sustainable eating. Further research with more diverse samples and comprehensive measurement tools is needed to better understand the long-term effects on knowledge and to promote sustainable nutrition education in practice.","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\").

Heat transfer mechanisms are discussed. The link between convective heat transfer and the thermodynamic and planetary hypotheses of Nikolov and Zeller are discussed. It is considered that the maximum surface temperature reached on an airless planetary body ( planet or moon) is purely a function of solar TSI and albedo. The moon and Phobos are chosen as the first two planetary bodies based on these being close enough to approximate the TSI of earth and Mars respectively. Mercury is forced to be chosen as a third planetary body as Venus does not have a moon. Further, the assumption is made that a planet with an atmosphere will be warmer because of greenhouse warming, however caused. If Nikolov and Zeller hold, the excess temperature of a planet with an atmosphere should be independent of its atmospheric composition. To test this part of the hypothesis, Venus, Mars and Earth are then used. The first two being examples of planets with atmospheres comprising of 95% plus CO2 and the later just over 400 ppm CO2. If XS temperature is independent of planetary atmospheric composition the hypothesis predicts that XS temperature of these three planets should be directly proportional to their atmospheric pressure. If CO2 is the dominant greenhouse gas than earth should not fall in the same linear extrapolation with the other two planets or at least should show a very large negative residual as it has hardly any C02 in its atmosphere, only .0415% as opposed to over 95%. First the proportion of solar TSI arriving at surface of the three airless planetary bodies is linearly regressed against know maximum temperatures for these bodies. Then known TSI’s for earth, mars and Venus are inserted into this algorithm arising to calculate surface temperatures of these planets as though they were airless, i.e. with no atmosphere and no cloud albedo. Next calculate on known maximum measured temperatures for these planets and ascribe the difference to a parameter called excess temperature. This excess temperature is then plotted against surface pressure for the three planets concerned and examine the quality of the regression factor and any residuals. The XS Temp for earth is shown to be (observed) = -.4 and the difference adding almost pure CO2 ( 95.5%) = +1.98K. , it is estimated from the above that an atmospheric composition of 13.5% CO2 would cause some .8C of warming. Extrapolating to present levels of CO2 i.e. .0415% yields some 3 milli degrees Kelvin of warming i.e. totally insignificant and is exactly as observed recently by the author for Northern mid-Latitudes. CO2 could still technically be classed as a ‘greenhouse’ gas of very minor, indeed irrelevant proportions but given our real and mobile atmosphere with convection as the main means of shifting heat we need not worry in the foreseeable future. The conclusion is that an atmosphere only traps significantly large heat if it is pressurized to huge amounts as with Venus.

Here, we use a high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM) and field observations to investigate the presence of recent tectonic activity in the Basaltic Plateau, northwest Uruguay. Based on topographic, drainage network and field-based data, we identify evidence for long-lasting, and potentially Quaternary tectonic deformation, including fault breccia, scarps, and offset channels, suggesting strike-slip and normal faulting. The orientation and spatial pattern of this deformation aligns closely with inherited structures, particularly Proterozoic and Mesozoic fault zones. Our results suggest that reactivation of ancient basement structures has localized recent deformation, highlighting the importance of tectonic inheritance in controlling deformation in intraplate regions, considered otherwise tectonically “inactive”. The detection of subtle, recent deformation in Uruguay is only possible because of high-resolution topographic data, underscoring the role of modern remote sensing tools in assessing tectonic activity in presumed stable regions. Lastly, this study highlights the need to reassess intraplate landscapes for signs of recent deformation, particularly in regions underlain by major basement structures that may act as zones of weakness, facilitating deformation even under low differential stress.

Over years, to address the physical controls on such a deformation, various compilations on active deformation have been made, mixing various types of datasets including fault-slip rates, focal mechanisms and geodetic motions. The growing amount of available data now allows for the construction of consistent compilations in terms of data types. Here, we present a database for the kinematics of subduction zones which includes that of the overriding-plate deformation, consistently based on geodetic data. The database describes the 2-d (trench-normal and trench-parallel) motions of arc blocks for ~90% of active subduction zones, through the magnitude (vd) and the deformation-obliquity angle (Ovd) between the blocks and the upper plate (undeformed interior of the overriding plate). We classify subduction zones into 4 dominant strain classes (compressional, strike-slip, extensional, and neutral), and into up to 8 classes including intermediate regimes. Focusing on the strike-slip strain class, we show that a non-negligeable trench-parallel motion is a widespread feature of active subduction zones. The convergence obliquity exerts, however, a contrasting effect on Ovd, thereby suggesting a limited effect on strain partitioning at oblique subduction zones. On another hand, Ovd shows a positive correlation with slab dip, where low and high values are associated with compression and extensional classes, respectively. Finally, we provide revised estimations of subduction rates, allowing for instance refined estimations of the thermal parameter, which will permit future comparative investigations on subduction dynamics and tectonics","license":{"name":"CC-BY Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International","short_name":"CC BY-NC-SA 4.0","text":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

This study quantifies how land-cover change and altered rainfall regimes have affected discharge in the Maha Oya River basin, Sri Lanka. Previous studies suggest that the river basin had been subjected to serious erosion due to increased soil digging, clay mining, and high flood vulnerability over the last three decades. This study uses Discharge data from 1992 to 2019 were analysed to identify factors influencing flood hazards and to inform disaster management strategies. Two hydrologic models representing historical (1992–1995) and recent (2016–2019) conditions were developed using the HEC-HMS software, incorporating the Soil Moisture Accounting (SMA) method. Land-use maps for 1990 and 2019 were generated through supervised classification of Landsat imagery, achieving overall accuracies of 92.5% and 96%, with Kappa coefficients of 0.90 and 0.95, respectively. Model calibration and validation yielded Nash–Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) values of 0.70 and 0.607 for the historical model, and 0.713 and 0.653 for the recent model. Validated model parameters such as Time of concentration, baseflow, recession and groundwater moisture indicates the impact of anthropogenic activities and land-use land-cover changes on groundwater level and baseflow of the catchment. Comparison of the calibrated parameters of the models further demonstrated the decrease in river discharge over the research period, which was mostly due to land-use changes such as increasing sand mining and agricultural development. The findings reveal a clear hydrological shift from an infiltration- to runoff-dominated system, driven by land-use change and rainfall variability, underscoring the urgent need for soil conservation and sand mining regulation to restore baseflow and enhance flood resilience in the Maha Oya Basin ","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, slickenlines commonly record only a fraction of coseismic slip, making it difficult to reconstruct the full slip trajectory. Near-fault seismic records, though capable of capturing ground motions associated with rupture, are limited in their ability to constrain on-fault slip direction as they record motion on only one side of the fault. Here, we overcome these challenges by directly observing fault slip using video footage of the 2025 Mw 7.7 Myanmar strike-slip earthquake. We use pixel cross correlation to track features in successive frames of the video, revealing a pulse of fault slip with a magnitude of 2.5±0.5 m, duration of 1.3±0.2 s, and peak velocity of 3.2±1.0 m/s. The observed trajectory is notably curved, and includes a transient (0.3 m) dip slip component on a steeply dipping strike-slip fault. These observations are consistent with geological records of curved slickenlines supporting mechanical models that link rupture propagation direction to near-surface slip curvature. Our results provide the first direct visual evidence of curved coseismic fault slip, bridging a critical gap among seismological observations, geological data, and theoretical models.

To mitigate the impact of drought on human survival and development, this study utilizes the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) to analyze the spatiotemporal variations of global droughts. The results reveal a clear trend of increasing drought in regions such as Africa, South America, and Asia. To improve the accuracy of global drought prediction, a hybrid model combining wavelet transform and long short-term memory neural networks (WT-LSTM) was developed. Based on this hybrid model, two forecasting schemes were designed: the first scheme leverages deep learning on historical SPEI data to predict drought trends, while the second scheme integrates multiple factors, including precipitation, land surface temperature, and potential evapotranspiration, to forecast drought variations. Analysis using multi-source data from 1979 to 2022 shows that the WT-LSTM model outperforms traditional time series models in capturing spatiotemporal patterns. Both schemes demonstrated strong performance in model training and testing, achieving high prediction accuracy with a one-month lead time (Scheme 1: mean absolute error < 0.50, Pearson correlation > 0.80; Scheme 2: mean absolute error < 0.35, Pearson correlation > 0.90). The comparison between the two schemes indicates a high spatial consistency, with Scheme 2 exhibiting a clear advantage in drought prediction. The model was further applied to identify and reconstruct drought characteristics from 2013 to 2022 in typical drought-prone regions, revealing that Scheme 2 significantly outperforms Scheme 1 in reproducing drought duration and intensity. This indicates strong capability in drought feature recognition and regional adaptability. Overall, the proposed method provides effective technical support for meteorological drought forecasting, helping policymakers and the public to take early emergency measures, reduce agricultural losses, and raise awareness of drought issues. Especially in the context of escalating climate change, interdisciplinary collaboration and research are crucial for developing comprehensive and effective strategies to address global sustainable development challenges.","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 this paper its author would like to draw attention to the phenomenon that is sometimes called the Polish Tunguska in the Polish media, although it would probably be more correct to call it mini-Tunguska. In \nthe evening of January 14, 1993, the village Jerzmanowice (about 20 km NW from the city of Krakow (Cracow) in Poland) was shaken by a powerful explosion. Some seconds later, stones of various sizes fell on the part of the village. Soon it was \ndiscovered that the source of the falling stones was a limestone crag. Fuses of electrical equipment in 30 houses also burned out. Some glowing flying objects in the sky were reported. \nAt first it was proposed a meteorite fall, but later it was discovered that the answer is not so simple. A review and some analysis of the event is presented in this \npaper, as well as some comparison with the 1908 Tunguska event.","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 to the thoroughly investigated Upper Rhine Graben, little coherent information is available on the subsurface structure of adjacent Black Forest valleys. This study therefore aims at estimating the thickness, spatial distribution, and volumes of alluvial material in valleys of the southwestern Black Forest. We utilized an extensive borehole database, high-resolution digital topographic data, and information from geological maps to integrate two complementary approaches. First, local valley cross sections were compiled to investigate subsurface bedrock morphology, allowing for a rough approximation of valley fill volumes. Second, catchment-specific linear and random forest regression based on morphometric and hydrologic variables were utilized to estimate sediment depths in valleys.\nOur results reveal a considerable spatial heterogeneity regarding shape, symmetry, ruggedness, and thickness of valley floor deposits. The composite valley cross sections with valley floor widths between 16 m and 3 km and average sediment depths ranging from 2 m to 36.3 m include v-shaped geometries prevailing in narrow headwater valleys and main valleys mostly showing a surprisingly flat erosion surface and a shallow (on average < 15 m) sediment cover. Yet, towards the Upper Rhine Graben (URG), some valley sections widen and are rather box- or trough-shaped, comprising up to 100 m thick sediments. Overall, the valley orientation as well as sediment thickness and valley shape in the main Black Forest catchments appears to be largely structurally controlled. \nFor our study area of about 2100 km2 including nine main catchments with sizes between 13 km^2 and 1034 km^2, estimated median values of valley fill volumes of the entire area range between 1.2 km^3 and 2.8 km^3. Specifically the disproportionately high sediment volumes of two of the larger catchments, Dreisam and Schutter, are striking. Both areas exhibit a particular structural imprint, the one being located within a deep-seated, large-scale Late Paleozoic deformation zone, the other one crossed by the Cenozoic Main Border Fault along the URG. These crustal discontinuities may be connected to an enhanced incision, which further underscores the importance of tectonic boundary conditions on the valley infill. In comparison with alpine settings, the sediment storage within the predominantly wide and shallow valleys is lower. \n","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\").

At least in the study period, these are seen to be in control with no evidence of warming. The UK temperature anomaly can be accounted for by a simple algorithm. In the UK in the inter-decadal period 2005-2011 annual rainfall is most strongly correlated with cosmic ray flux. The much higher correlation coefficient for Cosmic Rays is supportive of the notion of a stronger, real physical effect and is also supportive of the work of Svensmark. Alternatively, and/or additionally meteoric debris does provide the nucleation material for rainfall, but cosmic rays provide the correct atmospheric electricity conditions. Annual temperatures over the period can be correlated with a simple linear algorithm (SFCM) involving cosmic ray flux (C), solar flux (SF) and radio meteor flux (M) according to the equation \nDelta Temp = -.707 + 2.916* SFCM\nWhere SFCM = {(SF-C) +M} P<.023 so statistically significant \nHaving opposite signs in the equation, Cosmic ray flux has a counter effect to solar flux\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\").

By examining critical frequencies researchers can identify key parameters—such as the F region critical frequency (foF2), the height of maximum electron density (hmF2), and the presence of Spread F irregularities—that are vital for understanding signal propagation, space weather effects, and radio communication reliability. Over the past decades, tools have been developed for the extraction of ionospheric parameters of ionograms: ARTIST-5 and among others. There are approximations in previous works using deep learning for automatic scaling with parameters extraction of great importance as the identification of the E and F2 layer. These tools generally work for relatively quiet days (QD), but not for days with Spread-F, where a lot of variability is observed in the parameters obtained in those days and manual correction is necessary. In this work, we trained a model combining Convolutional Neuronal Network (CNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Dense layers that can capture the short-term variability of the ionosphere and our model returns the frequency profile. Ionograms were recollected from VIPIR ionosondes, part of the Low-Latitude Ionospheric Sensor Network (LISN). We tested and compared the frequency profiles from our model with manual correction and parameters obtained with ARTIST 5.0 showing significant differences.","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 involves developing mechanisms for reporting on mitigation, adaptation, and support received. The Ministry of Environment, through the Permanent Secretariat of the National Council for Sustainable Development (SP-CNDD), is the lead coordinating body. However, challenges remain in ensuring comprehensive implementation and local-level engagement. This study assesses the current state of Burkina Faso's climate transparency efforts, including the governance structure, legal instruments, reporting progress, and energy access for vulnerable households. It also examines the potential of renewable energy projects to contribute to both energy provision and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction. The analysis is based on a review of policy documents, national reports (National Communications, Biennial Update Reports), and data related to energy projects and household energy access. It includes an evaluation of the level of local awareness and involvement in climate initiatives and an assessment of the cost-effectiveness of different energy solutions. Burkina Faso has made progress in developing its climate transparency framework, but faces challenges such as the limited awareness of national climate plans (NDCs) at the local level and the need to strengthen its Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) system. Solar energy emerges as a promising option for increasing energy access for vulnerable households due to its affordability. Enhancing local participation and promoting accessible renewable energy solutions are crucial for advancing climate action and sustainable development in Burkina Faso. Further efforts are needed to strengthen the climate transparency framework and ensure its effectiveness at all levels.","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 material was well-known to Scottish geologists, but it was only recently realized that it had been used by prehistoric people in Moray, eastern Scotland. We describe our examination of archaeological Stotfield silcrete, as well as field information relating to its geological occurrence. The purpose of this work is to shed light on 1) the distribution of this material in the Scottish landscape and thereby also the availability to prehistoric people; 2) the general properties of this raw material and thereby its usefulness to prehistoric groups; 3) the characteristics and variability within what is referred to as Stotfield Cherty Rock or silcrete, guiding identification of samples in archaeological and geological collections; 4) the date of archaeological artefacts in Stotfield silcrete, indicating whether this raw material was used throughout Scottish prehistory or only during some prehistoric periods; and 5) the geographical distribution within Scotland of archaeological Stotfield silcrete, indicating whether this raw material was considered precious and widely exchanged or whether it was perceived as as a low value raw material and only used locally. and/or on an ad hoc basis – or something in between. In addtion we suggest that fluorescence excited by short-wave ultra-violet light may be a useful routine tool for archaeological lithic work.

Since streamflow depletion cannot be quantified from observational data, it is typically modeled. Analytical depletion functions (ADFs) are a low-cost, low-complexity approach for estimating streamflow depletion with utility for decision support, but ADFs adopt several simplifying assumptions, including an infinite supply of water within the stream. Here, we develop an approach to incorporate stream drying into ADFs to improve their estimation of streamflow and streamflow depletion. Using Scott Valley (California) as an example, we compare ADF results to observed streamflow data and the Scott Valley Integrated Hydrologic Model (SVIHM), a process-based numerical model. ADFs incorporating stream drying have strong agreement with observed streamflow and SVIHM results. Critically, ADFs with drying can simulate a temporal shift in streamflow depletion that occurs when summer stream drying causes stream network disconnections and a substantial fraction of streamflow depletion is lagged until the fall/winter, when the stream network rewets. Estimates of what streamflow would have been without groundwater pumping are required to incorporate stream drying into ADFs, and we evaluate the ability of a statewide statistical model of unimpaired monthly streamflow (the California Natural Flows Database [CNFD]) to meet this need. ADFs using CNFD data simulate appropriate temporal dynamics but overestimate streamflow. This suggests that regional unimpaired flow estimates combined with local bias-correction could provide a mechanism to apply ADFs in watersheds without local numerical models.

However, evidence on lead in drinking water in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is limited and lacks robust synthesis, impeding action. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of peer-reviewed studies reporting lead in drinking water in LMICs, according to PRISMA guidelines.\nWe searched PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science for studies published in English since 1969 reporting lead concentrations in drinking water. Study relevance was ranked using supervised clustering and machine learning. Relevant studies were manually screened for inclusion; data were manually extracted from included studies. Within-study risk of bias was scored using quality items defined in this work. Between-study bias was assessed based on continuity and symmetry of the (roughly lognormal) distribution of data included in the review. \u2028Of approximately 40,000 search results (for both lead and other TMs), 16,868 scored relevant using a trained machine learning algorithm; of these, 3,187 met inclusion criteria. Approximately one third (n=1,088) reported on lead. Central and Southern Asia accounted for 45% of included datasets, while 31% of LMICs were unrepresented. Many studies (45%) had sites purposively selected for known or suspected contamination; after excluding such “targeted” studies, metaregression indicated that >20% (95% CI: 20-27%) of samples exceeded World Health Organization (WHO) guideline values for lead (n=523).\nPotential sources of bias within studies include sample collection and analysis limitations (lower quality studies) and purposive site selection (“targeted” studies); potential sources of bias among studies include language limitations, exclusion of grey literature, geographic heterogeneity of datasets, and potential publication bias.

Widespread lead contamination has been found in rural groundwater-supplied drinking water systems in low- and middle-income countries, potentially from corrosion of lead-containing materials such as galvanized steel and brass. National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) 61 is an international standard for certifying the safety of water system components in contact with drinking water based on their capacity to leach chemical contaminants, especially lead, into drinking water. Another standard, NSF 372, certifies the material composition of drinking water system components as ’lead-free' if lead content is ≤0.25% by weight for wetted surfaces. This work investigates the lead leaching potential of components frequently used in these systems and explores potential alternatives to determine which components can be safely used in drinking water systems. Galvanized handpump spouts and leaded brass taps of types widely used in rural water systems in Ghana and stainless-steel alternatives, were tested against NSF 61 and NSF 372 standards. Lead-free PVC pipe segments were used as controls. Test results indicated that all stainless-steel components and PVC controls met NSF 61 and NSF 372 standards while galvanized spouts and brass taps did not meet either. The average lead levels leached over the experiment period from the brass taps, galvanized spout, stainless-steel taps, PVC pipes, and stainless-steel spouts were 192 (SD=89), 34 (SD=3), 0.3 (SD=0.1), 0.2 (SD=0.3), and 0.1 (SD=0.1) µg/L, respectively. Overall, the use of lead-containing galvanized handpump spouts and brass taps should be avoided in water systems due to their lead leaching potential; alternative products made from lead-free materials such as stainless steel should be substituted.","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\").

Democratic backsliding, i.e. the decline or degradation of the institutions and social norms that sustain democratic societies, is a widespread and impactful trend, with strong but understudied two-ways linkages with land use dynamics. From protests instrumentalized by the far right against agricultural, nature restoration and land management policies, to regimes rejecting democracy and furthering extractivist economies based on mining, logging and large-scale investments, to right-wing populist discourses and movements blending denial of sustainability issues and nationalism, or authoritarian regimes spearheading tropical deforestation, the articulation between democratic backsliding and land use unsustainability is a massive challenge for contemporary societies and nature. Novel and robust scientific knowledge on these linkages is crucial to unlock this feedback loop and identify pathways to reconcile land use sustainability and democracy. In this paper, I argue that we need key contributions to understanding the linkages between these issues, with (i) explicit articulation and embedding of democratic backsliding concerns and knowledge within land system and sustainability science – moving beyond a focus of democratic backsliding research on social, economic and political aspects, and beyond a focus of sustainability science on policy rather than politics – ; (ii) spatial, quantitative causal analyses of linkages between multiple forms of democratic backsliding and land use changes and related environmental impacts – moving beyond mostly qualitative, political analyses – ; (iii) syntheses and theory building on these two-way interactions.

The resulting catalog includes origin time, similarity, magnitude, location, number of detecting templates, and interpreted focal mechanism.\n\nIn WEBNET data, Synthetic Template Matching with a cross-correlation threshold of 0.4 detected 264 events with a completeness magnitude of Mc=−0.1.

Biostimulation of urea hydrolysis by soil autochthonous ureolytic bacteria was not detected over 62 days. Flow cytometry revealed Sproposarcina pasteurii at initial OD600 = 0.01 was able to grow in soil water extracts of increasing hydrocarbon concentration (TOC = 0.035-35 mg/L), showing no negative effects on cell membrane stability. Urease activity assays in soil water extracts inoculated with S. pasteurii (OD600 = 0.01 and 1) and soybean Glycine Max urease enzyme (1 and 100 g/L) indicated cell and enzyme urease inhibition was dependant on hydrocarbon and cell/enzyme concentrations. Glycine Max urease activity was unaffected at 100 g/L but at 1 g/L decreased with increasing hydrocarbon concentration up to 61%. S. pasteurii at OD600 = 1 readily decreased at the lowest hydrocarbon concentration (TOC = 0.35 mg/L) to an overall reduction of 31% at the highest concentration. Bioaugmentation of S. pasteurii (OD600, initial = 1) inoculated in the soil matrix successfully hydrolysed urea within 24 h.

Unfortunately, observations are sparse and the analysis of tides is complicated by the proximity of wind-driven inertial oscillations to the semi-diurnal frequencies. Furthermore, computational costs typically prohibit the inclusion of tides in ocean models, leaving a significant gap in our understanding. Motivated by summer observations showing elevated downward surface heat fluxes in the presence of tides, we analyzed simulations carried out with an eddy-permitting coupled ice-ocean model to quantify the impact of tidal effects on Arctic sea ice. In line with previous studies, we find an overall decrease in sea ice volume when tides are included in the simulations, associated with increased vertical mixing and the upward flux of heat from deeper layers of the Arctic Ocean, but this sea ice volume decrease is less pronounced than previously thought. Surprisingly, our simulations suggest that in summer, Arctic sea ice area is larger, by up to 1.5\\%, when tides are included in the simulations. This effect is partly caused by an increased downward surface heat flux and a consequently lower sea surface temperature, delaying sea ice melting predominantly in the Siberian Seas, where tides are moderately strong and the warm Atlantic Water core is located relatively deep and does not encroach on the wide continental shelf. Here, tidally enhanced downward heat flux from the surface in summer can dominate over the increased upward heat flux from the warm Atlantic Water layer.","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\").

There are substantial uncertainties regarding the date of the crater formation (assumed to be either in 1963 or 1971), the ignition of the fire, and the relation between the fire intensity and methane release. In this study, we reconstruct the fire history using historical Landsat imagery, identifying that combustion began between late 1987 and early 1988. To quantify current methane emissions, we used hyperspectral satellites (EnMAP, PRISMA, EMIT, GF-5A, and ZY-1E) to detect 44 methane plumes between 2020 and 2025, with emission rates ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 kg/h. These observations indicate annual emissions of several thousand tonnes, and over these five years, we estimate a total of 71 ± 21 kt of CH₄. Extrapolating this annual amount since the crater's formation suggests total emissions above 900 ± 300 kt. Additionally, temporal analysis reveals a gradual decline in flaring intensity, although no apparent correlation with methane release was identified. This integrated analysis reduces key uncertainties about the origin and behavior of the Darvaza crater and contributes to a better understanding of long-term natural-anthropogenic methane emissions and their environmental implications.","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 analyzes the changes in stratiform heating structure and convectively-coupled Kelvin waves (KWs) associated with surface warming using a set of aquaplanet simulations. Results show that the melting level rises with warming, causing ice particles falling from the stratiform clouds to melt at lower pressure levels. The upward shift of melting-induced cooling results in a decrease in temperature and vertical motion variability associated with stratiform clouds in the lower free-troposphere and upper boundary layer. These changes lower the degree to which stratiform (i.e., the second baroclinic mode) and deep convective clouds (i.e., the first baroclinic mode) are coupled within KWs, causing KWs to weaken and accelerate with warming.

This study selects three typical multiple-point statistics (MPS) approaches—Direct Sampling (DS), Quick Sampling (QS), and SNESIM—and two Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) workflows—post-GANs perturbation and GANSim—as representatives to compare traditional geostatistics-based and deep learning-based generative geomodelling methods, based on two sedimentary reservoir scenarios. In addition to the latest GANSim enhancements—namely, the local discriminator and facies-indicator output designs—this paper further proposes injecting global feature information into intermediate layers of the generator, instead of concatenating global features with latent vectors, to improve constraint effectiveness. The geomodelling results demonstrate that GANs, especially GANSim, consistently produce geologically realistic and diverse facies models that are accurately conditioned to well facies data, global features, and facies probability maps. In comparison, MPS approaches perform well in honoring well facies and probability maps but produce facies models with significantly lower geological realism. Their conditioning effectiveness on global features is also less reliable. GANSim achieves geomodelling speeds hundreds of times faster than MPS methods. Flow simulations show that GANSim results yield more accurate and less uncertain predictions than MPS outputs. Moreover, although trained on stationary conceptual geomodels, the trained GANSim generalizes well to model large, nonstationary reservoirs by spatially varying the input global feature maps and carefully designing the conditioning probability maps, making it a powerful and flexible tool for high-fidelity conditional geomodelling.","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\").

Major industrial zones in Tanzania, including Dar es Salaam city, significantly contribute to heavy metal pollution in aquatic ecosystems. \nThe samples for heavy metal analysis in seawater, sediments, and fish tissues were collected, prepared, and digested accordingly, and then analysed using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The obtained results showed that marine sediments had higher levels of zinc (105.16 ± 11.83 mg/kg) at the sampling station in the Mangrove creek compared to other sampling stations in the bay, and their concentration levels were found to be in the order of Zn > Pb > Cr > Cd. In the seawater, Pb and Zn were detected within the range considered as natural in the ocean and their concentration were 1.84 and 19.35 µg/l, respectively. The liver of the fish was found to accumulate the highest concentrations of Pb (0.682 ± 0.25) µg g-1 and Cr (0.2 ± 0.09) µg g-1 compared to the kidney, gills, and muscle parts (p > 0.05). Overall, the concentrations in all compartments were below the permissible levels proposed by USEPA, ANZECC and ARMCANZ, FAO and WHO.

However, predicting their patterns of network expansion and contraction remains a key challenge across regulatory, practitioner, and research communities, especially given that most investigations focus on high-relief watersheds. To address this challenge, we employed physiography as a lens to investigate the impacts of geology, soil characteristics, topography, and vegetation on spatial and temporal patterns of stream wetting and drying. We instrumented three headwater stream networks located in the Coastal Plain, Piedmont, and Appalachian Plateaus physiographic provinces in the southeastern United States. In each network, we used ≥ 20 water presence/absence sensors over two water years (2023 and 2024) to investigate seasonal and interannual variability in network extent. Across the physiographic gradient, we found that a combination of topographic, geologic, and vegetative drivers best explained variability in stream network persistence. Our results also emphasized the role that sensor placement plays in understanding network-scale patterns, as deploying sensors in areas of greatest hydrologic variability was crucial to capturing the full range of network expansion and contraction. This study demonstrated that low-relief stream networks challenge contemporary perceptual models of network dynamics, and that consideration of other factors such as soils and vegetation can help explain network expansion and contraction in low-relief headwater stream networks.

In an interconnected global food system, countries rely on both local food production and imports to meet domestic demand. When assessing the impact of drought risk on national food security, however, imported crops are often overlooked. This study incorporates international crop trade information to understand the role of crop imports in the drought risk profile of countries. We focus on conflict-affected countries due to their reliance on food imports, and particular vulnerability to the impacts of drought events and their corresponding cascading effects. We develop a framework to quantify drought risk associated with domestic production and imports of crops (i.e. composite drought risk) by combining gridded drought risk data with crop production and trade for 23 countries. Our findings show that most conflict-affected countries face drought risk primarily through domestic production, as most consumed calories are produced locally. Nevertheless, including crop imports alters the composite drought risk profiles considerably (>10%) in 14 countries, with Middle Eastern and North African countries showing 40-50% reduction. Crop imports also introduce an additional source of high drought risk, accounting for over 10% of high drought risk in 18 countries and amounting to 90% in some cases. Furthermore, we identify critical trade connections that expose countries to concentrated drought risks from specific trading partners. We demonstrate the need to incorporate both domestic and import-related drought risks in food security assessments, and we suggest potential strategies based on countries’ composite drought risk profiles for drought resilient food security.

However, the subglacial topography of the Antarctic ice-sheet is sparsely measured. Obtaining a gridded topography map used in ice-sheet simulations requires interpolating the measurements or inverting topography from observations of ice velocity and surface elevation. Traditional inverse methods based on the mass conservation law usually produce a single topography that is overly smooth and does not capture the non-uniqueness of the solutions to mass conservation. In this study, we develop a new method that combines geostatistical simulations with Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to stochastically generate different realizations of subglacial topography for regions with high ice velocity. This method uses a two-step approach that iteratively simulates large- and small-scale topography. We test this method on Denman and Totten glaciers. The final topography ensemble shows significant elevation differences from BedMachine and presents large topographic uncertainty. This topography ensemble can be incorporated into ensemble ice-sheet modeling, allowing for the propagation of topographic uncertainty into the uncertainty in sea level projections

The\n moment magnitude (Mw) scale has been referred to by various researchers as the best\n scale, one that matches well with the observed surface-wave magnitudes with Ms ≥ 7:5\n at a global level. The formulation and validation of the Mw scale were carried out\n considering the southern California region for lower and intermediate earthquakes.\n In this study, an endeavor has been made to extend the moment magnitude scale to\n include lower and intermediate magnitudes in a global context emphasizing the use of\n body waves, particularly P waves, in which data are abundant. We first investigate the\n degree of closeness of Mw values with other observed magnitudes (e.g., Ms and mb)\n for smaller and intermediate magnitude ranges considering global International\n Seismological Centre (ISC) and Global Centroid Moment Tensor (CMT) databases. To\n improve upon the consistency of the Mw scale for a wider range, a uniform generalized\n seismic moment magnitude scale Mwg logM0=1:36 − 12:68, for magnitudes ≥ 4:5,\n has been developed, considering 25,708 global earthquake events having mb and M0\n values from ISC and Global CMT databases, respectively, during the period 1976–2006.\n The Mwg scale is also valid for 3:5 ≤ mb ≤ 7:0 because the relations between seismic\n moment and the magnitudes mb and Mwg are same.\n The greater accuracy of the Mwg scale over the Mw scale at different magnitudes\n (i.e., mb or Ms) is found to be statistically significant in the range including smaller and\n intermediate events. The similarity of the Mwg scale is also tested on 394 global seismic\n radiated energy values collected from Choy and Boatwright (1995). It is observed that\n 76% of estimated radiated energy values obtained through the Mwg scale show closer\n agreement (than with Mw) to the observed radiated energy values. Mwg is computed\n from low- and high-frequency spectra, and because it is consistent for small, intermedi\nate, and large earthquake events, it will play a useful role as an earthquake magnitude\n estimator for all earthquake related studies","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":"SEISMIC MOMENT MAGNITUDE SCALE"},{"word":"DAS MAGNITUDE SCALE"},{"word":"MWG"},{"word":"MW"}],"date_submitted":"2025-06-24T18:39:59.210000+02:00","date_accepted":"2025-06-24T22:58:46.894000+02:00","date_published":"2025-06-24T22:58:00+02:00","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1785/0120180338","preprint_doi":"10.31223/X5JQ8N","authors":[{"pk":110043,"first_name":"Ranjit","middle_name":"","last_name":"DAS Das","salutation":"Dr","orcid":null},{"pk":110636,"first_name":"MUKAT","middle_name":"LAL","last_name":"SHARMA","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":110637,"first_name":"HANS","middle_name":"RAJ","last_name":"WASON","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":110638,"first_name":"DEEPANKAR","middle_name":"","last_name":"choudhury","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":110639,"first_name":"Gabriel","middle_name":"","last_name":"Gonzalez","salutation":"","orcid":null}],"subject":[{"name":"Engineering"},{"name":"Physical Sciences and Mathematics"}],"files":[{"original_filename":"BSSA 2019_ MAGNITUDE SCALE.pdf","mime_type":"application/pdf","download_url":"/repository/object/9500/download/17708/"},{"original_filename":"bssa-2019_-magnitude-scale1.pdf","mime_type":"application/pdf","download_url":"/repository/object/9500/download/17711/"}],"supplementary_files":[]},{"pk":9502,"title":"WITHDRAWN: The association between experiencing environmental injustice and climate attitudes: a nationally representative survey of United States residents","abstract":"","license":{"name":"CC BY Attribution 4.0 International","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

However, this hypothesis has been surprisingly poorly tested using modern river analogues, which provide an opportunity to assess whether sedimentary signatures of microtidal regimes can develop in rivers that lack diagnostic evidence of tidal control on large-scale channel morphology. This study investigates the relative importance of tidal and fluvial processes in shaping sedimentary deposits within the 180-km-long backwater, microtidal fluvial–marine transition zone of the Po River (Italy). The Po River enters the Adriatic Sea through several deltaic distributary channels that exhibit no evidence of funneling or cuspate meanders, indicating a clear morphodynamic dominance of fluvial over tidal processes. Hydrological data show that river water levels are modulated by tidal influence up to ~90 and ~40 km from the river mouth during low- and high-discharge stages, respectively. Approximately 30 km from the mouth, heterolithic deposits formed by riverine floods exhibit clear tidal signatures, including double mud drapes (both equal and unequal) and bidirectional ripples. Around 40 km from the mouth, cross-stratified dunes, and unit bars display bundles with cyclic organization—features that are unclear or absent in analogous bedforms farther upstream. Tidal control of river water levels during the deposition of bedforms with cyclic bundles suggests a linkage to semi-diurnal tidal modulation. These bundles are deposited above the average intertidal zone, indicating that flood-enhanced water levels enable tide-modulated sedimentation to extend beyond the typical intertidal range. This study shows that evidence of tidal processes can be common even in deposits of microtidally influenced rivers, highlighting that tidal signatures may develop where tides exert little to no control on large-scale morphodynamics. Overall, these findings emphasize caution when interpreting dominant morphodynamic processes solely from sedimentary structures—or interpreting structures solely from assumed morphodynamic controls.","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":"microtidal"},{"word":" channel morphology"},{"word":" tidal sedimentary features"},{"word":" high discharge"},{"word":" modern river-delta system"},{"word":"channel morphology"},{"word":"tidal sedimentary features"},{"word":"high discharge"},{"word":"modern river-delta system"}],"date_submitted":"2025-06-25T11:23:41.251000+02:00","date_accepted":"2025-06-27T17:26:07.869000+02:00","date_published":"2025-06-27T17:26:00+02:00","doi":null,"preprint_doi":"10.31223/X5NH9W","authors":[{"pk":17250,"first_name":"Anna","middle_name":"","last_name":"van Yperen","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":110695,"first_name":"Alvise","middle_name":"","last_name":"Finotello","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":110696,"first_name":"Riccardo","middle_name":"","last_name":"Maitan","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":10455,"first_name":"Ivar","middle_name":"","last_name":"Midtkandal","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":110697,"first_name":"Davide","middle_name":"","last_name":"Tognin","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":17320,"first_name":"Massimiliano","middle_name":"","last_name":"Ghinassi","salutation":"","orcid":null}],"subject":[{"name":"Earth Sciences"}],"files":[{"original_filename":"Po river_EarthArxiv.pdf","mime_type":"application/pdf","download_url":"/repository/object/9507/download/17723/"}],"supplementary_files":[]},{"pk":9509,"title":"Field evidence for non-linear IP effects in a volcanic hydrothermal system using reciprocal data.","abstract":"In electrical geophysical methods it is often assumed that the resistivity or chargeability, behaves linearly with the applied electrical current. However, non-linearity has been reported in Induced Polarization (IP) and can be caused by oxidation-reduction reactions or reactions at the surface of clay minerals. Methods to determine the presence of non-linear effects exist and involve analysis of the harmonic distortion of spectral IP data. Measurement of reciprocal data is standard practice in many ERT surveys in the context of data filtering and error quantification. When assuming a system behaves linearly, the normal and reciprocal measurements should yield the same distribution of values. Consequently, a systematic misfit between the two can indicate non-linearity. Here, we present the case of time domain IP (TDIP) data acquired in a volcanic hydrothermal system (VHS), with a strong discrepancy in both observed data and inversion of normal and reciprocal data, presented as a positive shift of the reciprocal decay curves (>100 mV/V). The inversion shows a strong discrepancy in the imaginary part, of 20 mS/m, localized on the southern part of the profile. In the complex environment of a VHS we interpret the observed non-linear IP effect as the result of oxidation-reduction reactions at the interface of iron oxides or sulfides. Our study suggests that analysis of normal-reciprocal misfit\ncan be further used as an interpretation tool for the presence of non-linear effects.","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 uses an XGBoost-SHAP explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) model to analyze meteorological and watershed controls on ROS runoff in the Great Lakes Basin. We used daily discharge, precipitation, temperature, and snow depth data from 2000 to 2023, available from HYSETS, to identify ROS runoff. The models demonstrated acceptable predictive accuracy for ROS runoff, with winter achieving higher performance (R² = 0.65, Nash-Sutcliffe = 0.59) than spring (R² = 0.56, Nash-Sutcliffe = 0.49), indicating greater predictability during colder months. The results reveal that Winter runoff is predominantly governed by climatic factors—rainfall, air temperature, and their interactions—with soil permeability and slope orientation playing secondary roles. In contrast, spring runoff shows increased sensitivity to land cover characteristics, particularly agricultural and shrub cover, as vegetation-driven processes become more influential. Snow depth effects shift from predominantly negative in winter, where snow acts as storage, to positive contributions in spring at shallow to moderate depths. ROS runoff responded positively to air temperatures exceeding approximately 2.5°C in both winter and spring. Land cover influences on ROS runoff differ by vegetation type and season. Agricultural areas consistently increase runoff in both seasons due to limited infiltration, whereas shrub-dominated regions exhibit stronger runoff enhancement in spring. The seasonal shift in dominant controls underscores the importance of accounting for land–climate interactions in predicting ROS runoff under future climate scenarios. These insights are essential for improving flood forecasting, managing water resources, and developing adaptive strategies.

Numerous permanent and temporary stations across Australia enable us to constrain localized seismic velocity structures, including the lithospheric-asthenosphere boundary (LAB), mid-lithospheric discontinuities (MLDs), and X-discontinuities (X-Ds) below the LAB, providing quantitative constraints on the variations of seismic velocity and radial anisotropy across these interfaces. Subsequent statistical cluster analysis of locally detected discontinuities identifies multiple MLDs and X-Ds. The LAB is shallow (60–100 km) in Phanerozoic eastern Australia and deepens toward western cratonic regions (120–200 km). A thick lithosphere (170–200 km) with significant radial anisotropy but minimal S-velocity reductions is observed beneath central Australia. MLDs in cratonic regions are detected at three distinct depths (from 60 to 130 km), with either negative or positive S-velocity changes depending on the tectonic setting. X-Ds, characterized by velocity increases beneath the LAB, are detected at multiple depths (~170 km, 220–270 km, and ~310 km), commonly associated with the weakening of radial anisotropy underneath. The shallowest X-D (~170 km) is found mainly beneath eastern Australia and is likely influenced by thermal effects in the asthenosphere, while deeper X-Ds may correspond to the Lehmann discontinuity or phase transitions of pyroxene. These findings provide a comprehensive view of the upper mantle discontinuities beneath Australia, offering new insights into the tectonic evolution of the Australian continent.

This study introduces the Runoff Potential Index (RPI), a curvature-based terrain metric that addresses specific limitations of slope-dependent indices for climate-resilient agricultural drought assessment: RPI(x, y) = ∇2z/(|∇z|+ε), integrating local terrain curvature (via Laplacian of elevation) with slope magnitude. The analysis presents complementary approaches combining: (1) RPI terrain analysis using satellite-derived elevation data for upland-lowland differentiation based on terrain-controlled water redistribution, identifying runoff-prone uplands versus water-retaining lowlands, and (2) CERES-Rice mechanistic crop modeling driven entirely by Earth observation data to evaluate drought stress patterns across varying sowing dates, supporting climate adaptation strategies in data-scarce regions. The RPI maintained analytical sensitivity across subtle elevation gradients (0.7-1.8 m variations) where TWI becomes numerically unstable, successfully detecting centimeter-scale microtopographic variations critical for water retention. Terrain analysis revealed distinct upland-lowland differentiation patterns, with lowland areas achieving 200 kg/ha higher yields compared to upland areas. CERES-Rice simulations across 20 years (2000-2019) identified optimal sowing windows that minimize drought stress, with delayed sowing causing yield reductions exceeding 1,500 kg/ha. Critically, terrain-based yield advantages (200-300 kg/ha) are substantially smaller than temporal optimization benefits, exposing limitations in current mechanistic models that fail to adequately represent topographic water redistribution effects captured by RPI analysis. The Earth observation-based framework enables drought vulnerability mapping without ground-based data requirements, supporting climate adaptation in agricultural systems globally. The findings reveal conceptual limitations in bucket-based crop models and demonstrate scalable approaches for drought-resilient agriculture under changing climate conditions. This framework enables practical climate adaptation through: (1) field-specific sowing recommendations that prevent 45-73\\% yield losses from suboptimal timing, (2) identification of drought-vulnerable zones requiring targeted water management, and (3) satellite-based drought risk assessment accessible to smallholder farmers in data-scarce regions, directly supporting SDG 13.1 (strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards) and SDG 13.3 (improve education and capacity-building on climate change adaptation).

Land surface temperature is useful for meteorological, climatological changes, heat island, agriculture, hydrological processes at local, regional and global scale. Presently many satellite sensor data are available for calculation of land surface temperature like Landsat 8 and MODIS. In the present study land surface temperature in Panchkula district of Haryana have been calculated using Landsat 8 satellite data of 5th May 2019 and 28th October 2019. Already available equations were used for computation of LST in the study area. LST in the study area varies from 18°C to 56°C. High LST is observed in cultivation land, urban area while low LST is observed in hilly forest area in the study area. In the study validation of LST could not be done because of not available of temperature data of studied dates, however, the result gives idea of land surface temperature on a particular day and location.\n\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\").

Permian oil and gas emissions averaged 4.0 ± 1.1 Tg a-1 over 2019–2023, with large seasonal variation but little interannual variability. Methane intensity fell from 5.2% to 3.2% as production surged. Intensity in the New Mexico Permian fell from 4.5% to 2.1%, approaching the state’s 2026 target of <2%. Emissions were on average 60% higher in the winter than summer, which we corroborate with Permian Basin Tower Network measurements, Insight M aircraft data, and GHGSat satellite observations. This seasonality may be driven in part by higher winter emissions from liquid storage tanks due to decreased separator efficiency in cold conditions. Similar but weaker seasonality along with decreasing emissions and intensities is found in weekly inversions for the Anadarko, Barnett, Eagle Ford, and Haynesville basins in 2022–2023. Our work suggests that better weatherization of oil and gas facilities could significantly reduce methane emissions.

Europium (Eu) is one of the REEs and exists in oxidation states (Eu2+ and Eu3+) states. Eu2+ can be substituted for Ca2+ during plagioclase feldspar crystallization in reducing magmas, which becomes a cause of Eu anomaly in igneous rocks. In addition, Eu has two stable isotopes (151Eu and 153Eu). Recent reports for Eu isotope ratio in igneous rocks indicated that Eu anomaly and Eu isotope fractionation in igneous rocks had a good correlation, suggesting that magmatic differentiation might bring out Eu isotope fractionation due to feldspar crystallization. Here, we first report Eu isotope ratio and REE concentration for various kinds of feldspar standard reference materials (SRMs) prepared by NIST and GSJ in order to confirm whether Eu isotope fraction in igneous rocks should be derived from feldspar crystallization during magma evolution or not. Most feldspar SRMs have chondrite LREE-enriched and HREE depleted or flattened pattern with large Eu positive anomalies except for NIST SRM70b. The potassium feldspar SRMs are enriched in the lighter Eu isotope (i.e., negative values of δ153Eu), whereas the sodium feldspar SRM(NIST SRM 99a) is enriched in the heavier Eu isotope (i.e. positive value of δ153Eu). Our results indicate that crystallization of sodic feldspar potassic feldspar may have different geochemical features in Eu isotope ratio variation in the geological materials.","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 and evaluates a novel experimental setup that enables synchronized spectral induced polarization (SIP) and X-ray micro-computed tomography (µCT) measurements under dynamic saturation conditions. A custom-designed flow cell was developed to accommodate both high-resolution µCT imaging and accurate SIP acquisition at the same time. It includes retracted, non-polarizable potential electrodes placed in agar-filled channels, which minimize electrode polarization and preserve signal integrity during measurement. Using this setup, we conducted a drainage–imbibition experiment on an unconsolidated sand sample. High-resolution µCT images captured the evolving spatial distribution of the water phase, while simultaneous SIP data provided complementary information on bulk resistivity and phase connectivity. We extracted the fluid distribution in the pore network from segmented images and computed both geometric and electrical tortuosity to investigate how pore-scale and transport parameters are related. A pore network model (PNM), extracted from the dry µCT scan, was used to simulate resistivity index (RI) trends, allowing for direct comparison between experimental and modelled values. Results show that saturation history significantly impacts both resistivity and tortuosity, with notable differences between drainage and imbibition. The µCT data confirm that trapped gas phases and connectivity losses are key drivers of marked resistivity increases. While the tested sample exhibited limited polarization, the experimental platform proved effective in linking microstructure to geoelectrical response. The combined SIP–µCT method offers a promising route for refining petrophysical models and holds potential for future studies involving more complex, polarization-prone materials and biogeochemical processes.","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 source mechanism of newly created fracture space under confined space conditions with constant total volume remains unclear. This study develops a mechanical model for hydraulic fracturing in confined space systems based on fundamental principles including volume conservation, pore volume redistribution, Newton's third law, and Pascal's law. The research demonstrates that: the formation of artificial fractures and accommodation space for proppants originates from the adjustment and redistribution of existing pore space; compressive differential deformation provides the mechanical basis for shear fracture formation; rock deformation and failure follow an evolutionary sequence of \"compression (generating fracture space) → tension (controlling fracture propagation direction) → differential deformation (forming shear fractures).\"Based on the newly established mechanical model and Biot's poroelastic coupling theory, a novel fracturing production enhancement mechanism is proposed. This mechanism can provide theoretical guidance for well placement, wellbore trajectory design, and hydraulic fracturing target optimization, contributing to improved reservoir utilization and recovery rates, while offering new theoretical foundations for reservoir development numerical simulation.","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, it is difficult to determine cause and effect relationships between Ediacaran events. Continental-scale patterns of sedimentation have been used as proxies to investigate controls on Phanerozoic macroevolution, including sea level drivers and potential carbon cycling perturbations. Here we focus on quantitative properties of carbonate rock area, volume, geochemistry, and depositional environments from the North American Ediacaran System. Patterns of carbonate sedimentation and geochemistry are broadly coincident with transgressive/regressive cycles which have been linked to glacioeustacy and global/regional tectonics. Highly negative carbonate carbon isotope values distinguishing the Shuram-Wonoka carbon isotope excursion (SW-CIE) coincide with a distinct increase in carbonate quantity, which spans nearshore, outer shelf, and slope/basin depositional environments. An increase in the extent of carbonate sedimentation on the continent may indicate global marine transgression, suggesting that the excursion occurred during an interglacial warm period. This same increase in carbonate sedimentation is also broadly coincident with first occurrences of the Ediacaran biota. A subsequent increase in carbonate rock quantity in the latest Ediacaran, dominantly deposited in nearshore environments, coincides with the appearance of biomineralizers, potentially indicating common cause drivers for the extent of shallow shelves, carbonate sedimentation on the continents, and macroevolution. This analysis provides a robust, rock record-based chronostratigraphic framework within which major Ediacaran events can be anchored, new evidence of environmental correlates for several key features of the Ediacaran and provides a foundation for future hypothesis testing during the dawn of animal life.

Their continuous release from human use and variable removal in sewage treatment works (STWs) can produce ecologically relevant concentrations and contribute to antimicrobial resistance. We developed a probabilistic catchment-scale model based on a Bayesian Network (BN) to quantify pharmaceutical concentrations and the probability of exceeding predicted no-effect concentrations at a monthly time step. The BN embeds a stochastic mass-balance linking monthly prescribing rates, excretion fractions, STW removal efficiencies and river discharge to produce posterior distributions of concentrations for 16 pharmaceuticals at 20 monitoring points in a Scottish catchment. Model inputs were derived from Scotland’s National Health Service prescribing records, a literature compilation of excretion and removal data, and a calibrated hydrological model of the catchment. Simulated concentration distributions generally agreed with observations made at the 20 locations over a 16-month period and were typically within one order of magnitude for most compounds, indicating satisfactory performance. Highest exceedance probabilities were predicted for azithromycin, diclofenac, ibuprofen and clarithromycin, particularly at heavily impacted sites and during low-flow summer months. Scenario analyses show that future drier summers (UKCP18 RCP8.5) increase exceedance probabilities, and that substantial reductions in prescribing or markedly improved STW removal efficiencies are needed to reduce risks for high-impact compounds. The BN framework transparently captures uncertainty, supports diagnostic inference (to prioritise interventions) and is readily extensible to include additional sources (e.g., Combined Sewer Overflows or septic tanks) and mixture risk assessment.

Effects of glacier retreat have been especially consequential for mountain resorts such as Whistler Blackcomb, Canada, where almost 60 years of summer glacier use has been terminated due to the ongoing demise of Whistler, Horstman and Blackcomb Glaciers. Over the past five decades, Whistler, Horstman and Blackcomb Glaciers decreased in area by 95%, 75% and 60%, respectively. Using a positive degree-day model with downscaled CMIP6 data we project that Whistler Glacier will disappear within the next decade, whereas Horstman and Blackcomb Glaciers will vanish in the next 10–50 and 20–70 years, respectively. Our work implies that ski resorts that rely on glaciers will need to balance current ice preservation strategies with adaptation in light of future 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\").

However, systematic large-scale assessments of its subsurface occurrence remain limited. This study presents the first continental-scale prospectivity map of natural hydrogen in Europe, integrating geological indicators of hydrogen generation, reservoir quality, and sealing capacity. A comprehensive inventory of ultramafic rock bodies—key indicators of hydrogen potential—is compiled and spatially analysed. To address geological uncertainty, we apply Monte Carlo simulations, yielding conservative, median, and optimistic resource estimates. High-prospectivity regions are identified in Hungary, Denmark, Poland, and Serbia, with many documented hydrogen occurrences aligning with predicted source zones. This spatial assessment provides a critical framework for early-stage exploration, supports future energy security strategies, and highlights key regions for focused research and development in the context of the energy transition.

This study employs a multi-model supervised machine learning framework to predict and forecast daily urban air temperatures and evaluate model performance across key counties in the U.S. Midwest KANI region: Polk (IA), Pulaski (AR), Lancaster (NE), and Johnson (KS), encompassing 38 urban centres. Using ERA5-Land reanalysis data (2000-2024) from the cloud-based Google Earth Engine platform, this study compares six regression-based ML models: Linear Regression, Random Forest, XGBoost, Support Vector Regression (SVR), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Decision Tree to evaluate their predictive efficacy in forecasting urban temperature changes. Using 288 months of temperature data across 4 major economically important counties, we trained and evaluated each model using R², RMSE, and MAE metrics. Ensemble tree-based models XGBoost and Random Forest achieved the strongest performance in daily temperature forecasting across all counties from 2020 to 2024, with R² values around 0.91, RMSE between 2.60°C and 3.54°C, and MAE as low as 1.88°C. These models successfully captured seasonal dynamics, with forecasted daily temperatures ranging from –15°C during winter extremes to over 31°C in summer peaks. A Friedman test followed by Nemenyi post-hoc analysis confirmed that Decision Tree significantly underperformed compared to XGBoost (p = 0.04) and SVR (p = 0.03), while XGBoost, RF, SVR, and KNN formed a statistically indistinguishable high-performance cluster (p > 0.05). Linear Regression and Decision Tree were both outside this group, exhibiting poorer accuracy and greater bias, particularly in extreme conditions. These findings emphasize the superior reliability of ensemble methods for operational climate forecasting and highlight the practical forecast range of –15°C to +32°C, enabling precise early warning systems for climate adaptation and heat risk planning across vulnerable counties in the U.S. Midwest.","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 applies a machine learning-based Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model to assess agricultural risks, climate vulnerability in various Indian states with diverse climatic variables to address India’s 2070 net-zero goal. It addresses the existing research gaps between the predictive analytical models for climate vulnerability mapping and their application for policy implementation in India. Our predictive modelling analysis based on the AI ML applications presents a district-wise climate vulnerability mapping across India’s four major climatic zones. Based on district-specific vulnerability mapping across the four zones of India, this paper proposes a comprehensive framework for policy implementation and an action plan to address climate-induced agricultural vulnerability in the country. The model leverages climate variables such as temperature and rainfall, along with agronomic factors, to forecast systemic and non-systemic risks across states. Through our LSTM Model, the effect of climate factors has been analyzed in various districts of India for the Kharif and Rabi seasons. Our LSTM Model assists in finding the key districts requiring immediate attention in terms of policy execution and implementation at a sub-national level to address the district-specific climate and agricultural vulnerability. Key findings indicate substantial variability in risk profiles of the chosen districts of India, underscoring the need for tailored policies to enhance crop resilience and mitigate future climate-led agricultural vulnerabilities. By integrating predictive analytics, the research provides actionable insights for policymakers to design adaptive measures, ensuring sustainable agricultural practices, improved farmer incomes, and food security. As an outcome, this novel approach bridges the gap between predictive modelling and policy applications for mitigating agricultural and climate vulnerability of chosen Indian states and districts, paving the way for climate-resilient agricultural systems driven by subnational, decentralized, climate-resilience-based governance systems for the future.","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\").

Fuels treatments, including the use of prescribed fire, can reduce the extent and severity of future wildfires, but air quality trade-offs resulting from application of these treatments -- more initial smoke from prescribed burning in hopes of less smoke from future wildfire -- remain poorly quantified. Using two decades of high-resolution satellite-derived measurements of fire severity and fire smoke particulate matter across California, we assess the causal effect of low-severity wildfire -- a proxy for prescribed burning -- on subsequent wildfire activity and air quality, with particular attention to whether low-severity fire also reduces subsequent fire risk in surrounding unburned areas. We find that locations \"treated\" with low severity fire see an immediate 92% reduction in the probability of very high severity wildfires in the same location, with detectable reductions in high-severity fire risk lasting up to a decade and detectable up to 5 km from the treated locations. We estimate that the future benefits of low-severity fuel ``treatments'', in terms of reduced smoke from severe fires, substantially outweigh the costs of the smoke produced in the initial treatment fires, with benefit-cost ratios that exceed six after a decade even under a high discount rate (> 6%). Benefits and costs rise roughly linearly with the amount of area treated. We estimate that a policy of 500 thousand acres of low-severity treatments per year in CA, sustained for a decade, would have reduced cumulative smoke PM2.5 concentrations by roughly 10% by the end of the period. These results suggest that substantial expansion of limited current prescribed burned acreage could have meaningful air quality benefits.

A Test of Early Warning Signal Theory on Three Distinct Holocene Climate Events","abstract":"The detection of Early Warning Signals (EWS) in noisy paleoclimate time series is a significant analytical challenge. Previous studies have often focused on individual events or single metrics, leaving the broader robustness and universality of the EWS framework unresolved.\n\nIn this study, we apply a comprehensive analytical pipeline to a δ¹⁸O proxy record from the NGRIP ice core, testing for EWS preceding three distinct Holocene climate transitions: the Younger Dryas termination, the 8.2k event, and the onset of the Holocene Thermal Maximum. Our approach includes a parameter sweep across four detrending methods and six window sizes, with statistical significance assessed using phase-randomized surrogate data.\n\nWe find that rising lag-1 autocorrelation (a signature of critical slowing down) shows a consistent positive trend before all three transitions and is robust to methodological choices in two of the three cases. In contrast, variance-based signals exhibit context-dependent behavior, and in some cases—such as the Younger Dryas—variance decreases rather than increases prior to the transition. We also perform a state-based statistical comparison of distributional shifts, finding a significant change only for the Younger Dryas event.\n\nThese results provide empirical support for the partial predictability of past climate tipping points. They also establish a multi-metric, statistically validated blueprint for future EWS detection studies using paleoclimate proxies.\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\").

Long-term landscape changes in the Afar region and implications for hominin bipedalism","abstract":"Tectonic and geomorphological processes in East Africa have long shaped the habitats and ecosystems within which hominins evolved, with the Afar Depression, created through rifting and plate reorganisation, a striking example of landscape isolation potentially shaping evolutionary opportunity. Yet climate change in Africa has traditionally been regarded as a key driver of behavioural adaptations, particularly hominin bipedalism. Here we outline a refugial scenario for bipedalism, a complementary approach that situates the evolution of hominin bipedalism within the tectonic and geomorphic evolution of the Afar region.
\nOur reconstruction draws on Geographic Information System (GIS) assisted mapping of successive tectonic stages, providing a spatial framework for evaluating isolation, faunal migration, and the opening of dispersal corridors. We suggest that geological isolation, reduced faunal exchange, and lowered predation pressures created a refugium in which upright locomotor behaviours could emerge in concert with climatic fluctuations and ecological pressures. The dominance of rifts and cliffs in this tectonically active area may also have reinforced bipedal strategies that later proved evolutionarily advantageous. By about 4.2 Ma, the Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) corridor, established by ca. 5 Ma, enabled southward dispersal, coinciding with the earliest secure evidence for facultative bipedal hominins in the Turkana record. Their sudden emergence contrasts with earlier regional absences and may reflect the earliest documented hominin migration “out of Afar” and into wider Africa. By combining fossil distribution with GIS-based landscape history, we demonstrate how geomorphological isolation can be integrated with climate-driven models, highlighting this refugial scenario as a complementary perspective for explaining the earliest bipedalism in the Afar region.

The components of volcanic emissions that cause the most impact are CO2, SO2, H2S, 222Rn, HCl, HF, and PM.\nThe consequences of volcanic gases for populations include deaths and impacts on physical and mental health. These depend on the duration of exposure and the concentration of the emissions. Socioeconomic impacts of gas emissions include evacuation of communities and abandonment of properties, damage to the built environment and disruption of tourism and agriculture even far from the degassing areas. Developing comprehensive risk management plans, including early warning systems, public education initiatives, and financial support mechanisms, may enhance community resilience and reduce the economic toll of volcanic gas emissions.","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":"volcanic gases"},{"word":" Health"},{"word":" gas hazard"},{"word":" acidic plumes"},{"word":" diffuse degassing"},{"word":" limnic eruptions"}],"date_submitted":"2025-07-02T16:57:18.724000+02:00","date_accepted":"2025-07-02T23:42:24.234000+02:00","date_published":"2025-07-02T04:44:00+02:00","doi":null,"preprint_doi":"10.31223/X5PB1F","authors":[{"pk":111040,"first_name":"Fátima","middle_name":"","last_name":"Viveiros","salutation":"","orcid":"0000-0002-0442-7955"},{"pk":111041,"first_name":"Tamar","middle_name":"","last_name":"Elias","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":11544,"first_name":"Evgenia","middle_name":"","last_name":"Ilyinskaya","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":111042,"first_name":"Charles","middle_name":"","last_name":"Balagizi","salutation":"","orcid":"http://orcid.org/0000-0003-0313-2626"},{"pk":111043,"first_name":"Carol","middle_name":"","last_name":"Stewart","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":111044,"first_name":"Tullio","middle_name":"","last_name":"Ricci","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":84479,"first_name":"Erouscilla","middle_name":"Pat","last_name":"Joseph","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":111045,"first_name":"Pedro","middle_name":"A.","last_name":"Hernández Pérez","salutation":"","orcid":null}],"subject":[{"name":"Physical Sciences and Mathematics"}],"files":[{"original_filename":"Viveiros et al2025_Volcanic gas impacts_Encyclopedia of Volcanoes.pdf","mime_type":"application/pdf","download_url":"/repository/object/9560/download/17816/"}],"supplementary_files":[]},{"pk":9561,"title":"Machine Learning Insights into the Geochemical Life Cycle of the Columbia River Flood Basalts","abstract":"Flood basalts are challenging to characterize in detail, despite enormous their erupted volumes, due to their age and chemical homogeneity. Here we explore machine learning (ML) approaches for classification and pattern identification in whole rock geochemical data of the Columbia River Flood Basalts (CRFB), which provide key constraints on magma generation, transport, and emplacement. We utilize supervised and unsupervised ML workflows to (1) classify unknown samples into an assumed CRFB stratigraphy, and (2) identify geochemical patterns independent of eruptive order that fingerprint the underlying petrologic processes associated with magma genesis and ascent. We synthesize a large new database of chemical analyses and use a high dimensional approach that leverages all possible ratios of major and trace elements. The supervised model demonstrates ~99% effectiveness for classification into Formation level classes and ~89% effectiveness on a member level from a complete labeled dataset, and slightly lower (~90%) Formation-level accuracy for a partially labeled dataset. Unsupervised clustering suggests similarities between member classes across stratigraphic boundaries in mantle source composition and crustal processing pathways. In particular, we find compositional clusters that point to a rapid expansion of crustal storage within the Grande Ronde, and primitive samples spanning all Formations that likely fingerprint persistent recharge from multiple mantle sources. Comparison of supervised and unsupervised approaches re-enforces known patterns in CRFB chemistry but also highlights areas where further data assimilation could lead to robust insights. This approach represents a powerful framework for classification and highlights significant future opportunities to objectively characterize petrologic datasets like the CRFB.","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\").

Global-scale coral bleaching events (GCBE) can unfold when marine heatwaves impact reefs across all tropical ocean basins within a common period. Here, we define an objective, quantifiable index to compare periods of satellite-derived coral heat stress accumulation globally from 1985–2025 and examine their relationship to confirmed GCBEs. We uncover an uninterrupted and ongoing period of global coral heat stress from 2018 to 2025, affecting an unprecedented 87% of reef areas globally. The average intensity has also been record-setting, with the median global heat stress accumulation on reef areas nearly 50% greater than the previous GCBE record. This is largely driven by general ocean warming, as recent baseline global surface ocean temperatures (2019-2023) are comparable to extreme anomalous conditions observed ~25 years ago. The development of a strong El Niño event in 2023, superimposed upon the already anomalously warm ocean, culminated in the 4th GCBE, the most extensive and intensive on record. Qualitative observations of coral bleaching have been reported from 84 countries spanning all coral-containing ocean basins. Further, an analysis of the extent and magnitude of heat stress suggests that bleaching may have impacted 98 of the 102 countries with coral reefs. GCBE4 (2023–present) marks a period of heat stress that is unprecedented by every investigated metric. However, global-scale coral bleaching-level heat stress has persisted for almost the entirety of the last decade, bringing many reef areas into an era of near-annual bleaching.

Household water treatment and safe storage are often advocated as effective, rapidly deployed, and cost-effective solutions to these problems. However, the effectiveness of these measures and household compliance with them often degrade over time. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of household strategies for ensuring water safety, and investigates the perceptions that influence these practices in the Dominican Republic. A mixed methods approach was adopted, which combines a household survey, interviews, immersive research, and water sample testing for E. coli using AguaGenX’s compartment bag test. The findings show that no water sources in the study communities were reliably free of E. coli contamination, and households’ efforts to ensure water safety exacerbate the problems they are employed to resolve. We discuss the JMP drinking water services ladder and demonstrate how these indicators lead to overestimates of water service provision. We argue that household water treatment and safe storage strategies cannot be relied on to resolve chronic failures in the delivery of water services. Rather, devolving the responsibility for water safety to households increases their user burden and the risk of contracting waterborne diseases.","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 Hydro3DJS, a lightweight, browser-native 3D visualization library that integrates real-time environmental data with interactive digital-twin capabilities. Built with JavaScript, WebGL, and the Google Maps API, the system renders rainfall, floodwater dynamics, and insfrastructure exposure within spatially accurate environments while incorporating live data from USGS and NOAA. Its modular design supports terrain-aware water animation, customizable 3D infrastructure models, and scenario-based simulations suitable for research, planning, and communication. Two use cases, a rural multi-hazard simulation and an urban 100-year flood event with stream gauge overlays, demonstrate cross-context applicability. A usability study with 20 domain experts highlights the platform’s strengths and identifies opportunities for enhanced interactivity and performance. Hydro3DJS contributes an accessible open-source framework for real-time 3D hydrological visualization, modular environmental data integration, and improved stakeholder communication in flood and watershed analysis.

This study employs Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to assess the spatial distribution of Pb in soils across the Savar industrial zone, Bangladesh—an area characterized by dense industrial activity, including tanneries, textile mills, and metal-processing plants. Using point data from ten geo-referenced sampling sites, Pb concentrations ranged from 35.6 to 46.0 mg/kg, with a mean of 41.15 mg/kg and standard deviation of 3.53 mg/kg. Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) interpolation in QGIS was used to create a continuous raster surface of Pb concentrations, revealing notable spatial heterogeneity. High-concentration hotspots (>43 mg/kg) were observed predominantly in the northeastern and central sub-regions, coinciding with mapped industrial clusters. The most contaminated zone (Site 10: 46.0 mg/kg) lies within 500 meters of major manufacturing units, while the lowest (Site 1: 35.6 mg/kg) is situated near peri-urban green space. The resulting contamination map emphasizes localized risk zones and informs targeted remediation efforts. These findings highlight the utility of GIS-based interpolation for environmental risk assessment and land use planning in rapidly urbanizing industrial corridors.

These fluctuations have been perceived as a seesawing between two climatic phases, one corresponding to a more poleward jet and the other to a more equatorward. However, recent work has shown that zonal wind anomalies also propagate poleward at interseasonal timescales. Using reanalysis data, this work demonstrates for the first time that the subseasonal NAO propagates with a 145-day period, explaining the recently discovered long-term predictability of the NAO. This propagation period can be predicted from a reduced-order model of zonal wind dynamics. This propagating behavior is fundamental to the NAO, representing the true “dynamic mode” of North Atlantic jet variability, and removing this propagation in the reduced-order model decreases the NAO’s predictability. Furthermore, the NAO’s climate anomalies, including SLP, propagate along with the wind; SLP exhibits the same low-frequency periodicity as the wind. This suggests the NAO has two under-studied phases in quadrature with the “seesaw” phases. Finally, our work suggests that the North Atlantic response to uniform climate forcing will include both a poleward jet shift and a jet strengthening.

Whether they do is not currently known; some evidence suggests so, while specific field data suggest not. To address this gap, we develop MimiNet, a neural-network-based tool that identifies surface crevasse fields. We train MimiNet on Sentinel-1 scenes across a 629 km2 area in Pakitsoq, central-western Greenland, and use it to locate crevasse fields annually over 2015–2024. We find that the crevassed area varied from a minimum of 141±25 km2 in 2019 to a maximum of 183±27 km2 in 2016, with no overall trend over the ten-year study period. We find that seasonal ice flow speed anomalies in crevasse fields are significantly higher than those in moulin-drained areas in July, but that in all other months of the melt season there is no difference between the two regions. We therefore infer that crevasse fields in Pakitsoq deliver meltwater to the bed, but in a spatially isolated way that keeps the local subglacial drainage system in an inefficient state for the entire melt season, while surrounding moulin-drained areas transition in mid-summer to a more efficient state.","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\").

Typically, automatic systems are built by learning\nfrom large seismic catalogs, where each instance has a label indicating its source mechanism. However, building complete\ncatalogs is difficult owing to the high cost of data-labelling. Current machine learning techniques have achieved great success\nin constructing predictive monitoring tools; nevertheless, catalog-based learning can introduce bias into the system. Here,\nwe show that while monitoring systems trained on annotated data from seismic catalogs achieve performance of up to 90%5\nin event recognition, other information describing volcanic behavior is not considered or either discarded. We found that\nweakly supervised learning approaches have the remarkable capability of simultaneously identifying unannotated seismic\ntraces in the catalog and correcting misannotated seismic traces. When a system trained on a master dataset and catalog from\nDeception Island Volcano (Antarctica) is used as a pseudo-labeller in other volcanic contexts, such as Popocatépetl (Mexico)\nand Tajogaite (Canary Islands) volcanoes, within the framework of weakly supervised learning, it can uncover and update10\nvaluable information related to volcanic dynamics. Our results offer the potential for developing more sophisticated semi-\nsupervised models to increase the reliability of monitoring tools. For example, the use of more sophisticated pseudo-labelling\ntechniques involving data from several catalogs could be tested. Ultimately, there is potential to develop universal monitoring\ntools able to consider unforeseen temporal changes in monitored signals at any volcano.","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\").

Traditional tracking methods struggle with the scale and complexity of modern marine sensing needs. This paper proposes distributed networks of low-cost drifting sensors and presents a comparative study of heterogeneous graph neural networks (GNNs) versus Kalman filters for predicting marine entity trajectories in such distributed networks with intermittent observations. Using the Aquascan simulation framework, we model drifting sensors detecting marine entities across 480 km² of ocean surface with realistic movement patterns and sparse coverage. Experiments across multiple prediction horizons show GNNs significantly outperform Kalman filters: GNNs maintain over 95% AUC (Area Under the Curve) across all horizons while Kalman filters degrade from 97% to 69% AUC. The performance gap widens under challenging conditions—at 5 km sensor spacing, GNNs achieve 92.8% AUC versus 66.9% for Kalman filters. GNNs' superior performance stems from leveraging network topology and reasoning about non-detections to infer entity presence in coverage gaps. These results demonstrate that graph-based approaches offer substantial advantages for distributed marine monitoring.","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 relational turn in sustainability science is centred around the coconstitutive dynamics of human–nature relationships. Yet, it has so far paid limited attention to the power relations that shape which values gain legitimacy or are marginalised. We introduce the concept of symbolic power—defined as the capacity to naturalise particular worldviews and value systems—as a critical yet underexplored dimension of the formation of relational values of nature. Drawing on social theory and critical realism, we present a conceptual framework that focuses on how symbolic power mediates the co-evolution of individual values and socially endorsed beliefs, influencing the institutionalisation of certain values over others. A case study of fisheries governance in Japan illustrates the role of symbolic power and highlights the conditions under which sustainability-aligned relational values—such as care and reciprocity—can gain social legitimacy and institutional traction. Key implications are identified for governance and policy, emphasising the need to foster deliberative and reflexive spaces that support symbolic shifts and recognition of plural values as preconditions for sustainability transformations.","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\").

Their retreat during the late Pleistocene and Holocene resulted in isostatic adjustments of the previously glaciated landmass, which influenced post-glacial changes in relative sea level (RSL). Many questions, however, remain about the timing and impact of the ice retreat on the continental shelf environments and RSL after the Last Glacial Maximum, and of short-lived climatic events, such as the Younger Dryas. This study aims to reconstruct the deglaciation history and changes in RSL for the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence off Prince Edward Island on the eastern Canadian continental shelf for the past 14 ka, and to determine the influence of the Younger Dryas on the ice margin. Using information from sub-bottom profiles, sediment cores, and multibeam bathymetry, this study finds that most of the continental shelf was already flooded 13.6 ka ago, as evidenced by the presence of Bølling-Allerød marine sediments at a modern water depth of less than 50 m and ~15 km off the modern coastline. During the Younger Dryas cooling event, sedimentation rates increased from 0.1 to 1 cm a-1, likely as a consequence of readvancing ice masses. We observe an erosional truncation on top of the Younger Dryas sediment package, which presumably indicates a drop in RSL in the early Holocene. Based on our new data, we propose an updated RSL curve for the region that accounts for the presence of sea ice coverage rather than complete ice coverage as well as a geological model highlighting the sedimentation history over the past 14 ka and role of the Younger Dryas. The new paleo-environmental and RSL reconstructions shed light on the potential impact of short-lived climatic events at the former ice margin during deglaciation and reduce uncertainties for about past sea level changes.","license":{"name":"No Creative Commons license","short_name":"No CC license","text":"This option allows you to opt out of adding a Creative Commons license to your submission.","url":"https://escholarship.org"},"keywords":[],"date_submitted":"2025-07-09T17:50:12.544000+02:00","date_accepted":"2025-07-10T15:18:43.321000+02:00","date_published":"2025-07-10T15:18:00+02:00","doi":null,"preprint_doi":"10.31223/X5SX64","authors":[{"pk":111313,"first_name":"Irena","middle_name":"","last_name":"Schulten","salutation":"Dr","orcid":null},{"pk":46584,"first_name":"Vittorio","middle_name":"","last_name":"Maselli","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":111320,"first_name":"Edward","middle_name":"L.","last_name":"King","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":49497,"first_name":"Mark","middle_name":"","last_name":"Schmidt","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":111321,"first_name":"Christian","middle_name":"","last_name":"Hensen","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":111322,"first_name":"Thomas","middle_name":"Harald","last_name":"Müller","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":111323,"first_name":"Alessandra","middle_name":"","last_name":"Asioli","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":111397,"first_name":"Aaron","middle_name":"","last_name":"Micallef","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":49496,"first_name":"Christian","middle_name":"","last_name":"Berndt","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":28766,"first_name":"Craig","middle_name":"J.","last_name":"Brown","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":111324,"first_name":"Fernando","middle_name":"","last_name":"Cordoba Ramirez","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":111325,"first_name":"Judith","middle_name":"","last_name":"Elger","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":111326,"first_name":"Sebastian","middle_name":"","last_name":"Hölz","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":111327,"first_name":"Antonia","middle_name":"","last_name":"Kotliarov","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":17532,"first_name":"Barret","middle_name":"L","last_name":"Kurylyk","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":111328,"first_name":"Shengchao","middle_name":"","last_name":"Yu","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":111329,"first_name":"Mladen","middle_name":"","last_name":"Nedimovic","salutation":"","orcid":null}],"subject":[{"name":"Earth Sciences"},{"name":"Geology"},{"name":"Geophysics and Seismology"},{"name":"Sedimentology"},{"name":"Stratigraphy"}],"files":[{"original_filename":"Schulten_et_al_2025.pdf","mime_type":"application/pdf","download_url":"/repository/object/9619/download/17919/"},{"original_filename":"Schulten_et_al_2025.pdf","mime_type":"application/pdf","download_url":"/repository/object/9619/download/17920/"}],"supplementary_files":[]},{"pk":9592,"title":"Simulated Soil Respiration is Sensitive to Soil Hydraulic Properties from Intact vs. Repacked Cores","abstract":"Soil hydraulic properties, such as water retention and hydrodynamics, play a pivotal role in regulating belowground carbon (C) storage by influencing microbial activity and nutrient availability. However, empirical measurements of these properties are labor-intensive and often fail to replicate field conditions in laboratory settings. Standardizing and increasing the throughput of hydraulic property measurements is essential to improve model predictions of ecosystem-scale soil C dynamics. To address this need, we investigated the hydraulic properties of intact field-collected soil cores and laboratory-repacked soil columns to assess how soil structure impacts hydraulic measurements and subsequent model predictions of soil respiration. Using four distinct soil textures (sandy loam, silt loam, loam, and silt clay) sampled as part of the Molecular Observation Network (MONet), we compared water retention curves derived from both methods to publicly available HiHydroSoil v2.0 database values. We then applied the Millennial model to simulate soil respiration rates and total C stocks based on measured hydraulic properties. Our experimental results show the largest differences in hydraulic properties between intact and repacked approach for the silty soil texture, and the smallest differences in the sandy soil texture. The model predicted increased respiration in repacked sandy loam and loam cores (~6% and ~9%), while repacked silt loam and silty clay showed ~17% lower respiration vs. intact cores. Respiration in sandy loam and loam soils showed higher respiration in repacked associated with lower SOC stocks compared to intact. However, silt loam and silty clay in repacked cores had ~12–19% higher total C stocks as compared to intact, consistent with SOC protection by clay. These uncertainties in model predictions also varied with whether intact or repacked hydraulic properties were used, emphasizing the need for reliable measurements that account for environmental and anthropogenic impacts on soil structure, with implications for both empirical and modeling efforts.","license":{"name":"CC BY Attribution 4.0 International","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Interregional CDR trade offers a solution, yet there has been no quantitative assessment of how such trade could reshape the economies of exporting regions and impact their economy–food–energy systems. Here we address this gap by integrating country-level CDR trading into a global integrated assessment model, enabling Global South countries to export carbon removal credits to the Global North in exchange for financial transfers. We find that by 2060, the Global South could export approximately 5 GtCO₂ per year in international CDR credits, generating US$3.1 trillion annually in financial transfers and creating 17 million jobs in the CDR sector. However, by 2060, imports of biomass, natural gas, beef, and corn in the Global South could rise by 36%, 18%, 3%, and 2%, respectively","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\").

TieBeNN extends the existing workflow by adding automatic, probabilistic focal depth estimation using NonLinLoc and introduces a Location Quality Score (LQS) to quantify location reliability with a single metric. In testing, TieBeNN’s automated locations approach the accuracy of human analyst solutions, demonstrating comparable performance in well-instrumented regions. By automating depth determination and providing immediate quality assessment, the system reduces analysts’ daily workload, allowing them to focus on events flagged as low-quality or complex. The LQS effectively distinguishes well-constrained event locations from those with large uncertainties or poor network geometry, enabling rapid identification of high-quality automatic results versus those requiring review. However, events below the Moho depth (i.e., deeper than approximately 30~km), which are rare in Germany, remain challenging: their uncertainties are larger, and LQS values tend to be lower, indicating limitations in the current calibration. Overall, these enhancements significantly advance real-time local seismic event monitoring in Germany by increasing both the speed and reliability of automatic event characterization.","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 Importance of Nuance in Definitions of Vanishing Glaciers","abstract":"Glaciers provide critical ecosystem services, including water resources, biodiversity, cultural value, and climate signals. But what makes a glacier a glacier? Dierent definitions of what characterizes a glacier can conflict with each other. While a common definition emphasizes \"past or present flow,\" practical applications involve various criteria like currently observable ice flow, crevassing, minimum thickness, minimum area, surficial features related to hydrology and/or debris cover, or relative size. Increasingly, glacier inventories are applying multiple criteria, acknowledging the nuanced, continuous nature of glacier retreat rather than a binary status. In the context of increasingly melting, shrinking, and vanishing glaciers, it is important to explore glacier definitions and their application. Ultimately, the glacier definition applied depends on the specific context, purpose, and audience. This also highlights the need for careful language choice, clear communication, and localized expertise in considering glacier loss.

This study focuses on glacier algae variation during summer seasons in the 2016-2023 period at Qaanaaq Ice Cap, NW Greenland. Based on ice samples and field spectroscopy measurements, an empirical model is proposed to estimate glacier algae abundance from a reflectance ratio (695/687 or 695/681 nm). By applying this method to Sentinel-2 data at high resolution (10 m), through a phenology approach, algae abundance variation was estimated in relation to glaciological parameters and a marked spatial and temporal heterogeneity was found. High algae concentrations were found in the 2019, 2020 and 2023 summer seasons (~1 ×106 cells mL-1 on average) especially at low elevations (< 800 m a.s.l). At the scale of an outlet glacier, strong algal blooms were observed with more than one month of continuous positive air temperature and hiatus of snowfalls. The present research represents one of the first estimations of glacier algae phenology for the high latitudes at this high spatial resolution. These results could set the stage for future research focused on understanding the role of glacier algae at the scale of the Greenland Ice Sheet.

Extensive geophysical and geochemical data were collected during both the preceding unrest and eruptive event. Petrological monitoring was largely restricted to rapid stereo microscope observation and a few supporting in-depth studies using analytical instruments off-island. Here, we utilise time-series samples of lava and tephra from the Tajogaite eruption collected with near-daily frequency to understand the magmatic processes responsible for changes in petrological, geochemical, and geophysical observations. We combine published whole-rock major and trace element data with new QEMSCAN textural and mineral abundance data, major element analyses of the major macrocryst phases, and trace element data from clinopyroxene to illustrate magma plumbing system processes, supported by pressure and temperature modelling of mineral growth. Finally, we calculate olivine Fe-Mg diffusion timescales from early erupted tephra, and compare them with timescales of the climactic unrest period. Our data indicate that more-evolved and mineralogically-diverse magmas were tapped during the first week of the eruption, with little evidence for magma mixing. Magma mixing only becomes apparent when more primitive magmas erupted after the first ~10 days, exemplified by reverse-zoned olivines. Nonetheless, clinopyroxene barometry suggests that much of the erupted material is fed from the upper mantle at all stages of the eruption. Timescales of this process overlap with, and extend, the record of climactic geophysical unrest, suggesting that destabilisation of the magma system started before geophysical methods alone could detect and resolve variations from background. The chemical compositions of the crystal cargo are surprisingly uniform from Stage 2 (~5 - 10 days of activity) to eruption cessation (after 85 days of activity), and changes in whole-rock and tephra glass compositions observed by previous studies are not obviously mirrored in the mineral record. We highlight the importance of combining both whole-rock and mineral scale observations to understand how eruptions progress, and ultimately end.

This study presents a comprehensive sedimentological, palynological, and geochemical record of the STTE based on two shallow marine wells (Moczygemba VT #11 and Vogelsang Frieda #1) from the Texas Gulf Coast. Our multi-proxy approach integrates palynology and nannofossil biostratigraphy to establish age constraints and track ecological changes, organic carbon isotopes to detect regional preservation of the STTE, and use elemental ratios to infer chemical weathering intensity and mean annual precipitation. Results indicate that the STTE along the Gulf Coast was characterized by elevated weathering rates under semi-arid to humid climatic conditions. Palynological assemblages show a marked increase in Thomsonipollis magnificus, suggesting the expansion of mangrove or coastal swamp taxa during inferred warming phases. Notably, negative excursions in organic carbon isotopes, along with increased terrestrial input of organic matter in both cores, confirm the regional expression and impact of the STTE. These findings provide critical constraints on the Selandian–Thanetian Transition Event by linking carbon cycle perturbations to continental-scale source-to-sink responses across North America, and demonstrate how deltaic systems along the Gulf Coast recorded and responded to mid-Paleocene global warming.

Near source surface reflections such as pP, sP, and sS (known as depth phases) provide critical information for resolving hypocentral depth, particularly for intermediate-depth earthquakes. The number of depth phases reported by global earthquake monitoring agencies has declined significantly in recent decades, potentially reducing the precision of resolved earthquake depths. To address this, we automatically detect P, pP, sP, S and sS phase arrivals using teleseismic ad-hoc arrays. We detect these phases for earthquakes in the South American Subduction Zone (SASZ) at depths of 40–350 km and between mb 4.7 to 6.5. The identified phases are integrated with the phases reported to the ISC Bulletin, and used to relocate earthquakes with ISCloc. We assess the impact of incorporating automatically detected, ad-hoc array-derived depth phases on earthquake relocations across the SASZ, and find an improvement in depth resolution for 88.8% of earthquakes. Using this enhanced catalogue we investigate the structure of the Wadati-Benioff zone, focusing on two significant earthquakes: the 2005 Mw 7.7 Tarapacá and 2019 Mw 8.0 Peru events. Finally, we successfully apply our methodology to deep focus earthquakes (350-700 km), which further define the deepest portion of the seismogenic slab. Our results demonstrate the potential for automatically detected, ad-hoc array-derived depth phases to substantially improve the accuracy of teleseismic earthquake hypocentres, and offer further constraint upon slab geometry and seismogenic structure.","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, many management tasks require complex system modelling and optimization approaches, which heavily rely on specialized domain expertise and human resources. Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) offer promising opportunities to automate complex hydraulic decision-making tasks. This study presents an LLM-based agent framework to automate WDN management tasks. Two tasks are considered to evaluate the feasibility and limitations of LLM agents: hydraulic model calibration and pump operation optimization. The key component of the proposed framework is an Orchestrating Agent that interprets tasks and system states, generates update strategies or executable code, and interacts with three specialized agents to carry out implementation: a Knowledge Agent performing reasoning based on hydraulic principles, a Modelling Agent that interfaces with hydraulic simulation tool EPANET, and a Coding Agent that executes code and returns output feedback. To assess the capabilities of these agents, the framework was systematically tested on two benchmark WDNs - Net2 and Anytown. The results indicate that the reasoning capability demonstrated through interaction with the Knowledge Agent effectively replicates expert-level hydraulic thinking, though it lacks numerical precision. In contrast, the Modelling Agent, which integrates external simulation tools, enhances reliability, although interpreting and enforcing numerical constraints expressed in natural language remain challenging. Furthermore, the Coding Agent, where code for optimization algorithms is iteratively generated and executed, delivers the most consistent and accurate performance across both networks, underscoring its practical potential. These findings highlight the potential of LLM-based agents for automated, accurate hydraulic optimization, and represent a significant step toward LLM-driven multi-agent frameworks for hydraulic decision-making. This work establishes a foundation for future advancements in specialized, domain-focused LLM applications in complex hydraulic management scenarios.

Recently, methane (CH4) has been proposed as a potentially important electron donor in this process, with CH4 oxidation by methanotrophic bacteria facilitating Fe(III) reduction and subsequent As release. However, the role of CH4 in As mobilisation remains poorly constrained, particularly regarding the origin, prevalence, and vertical distribution of CH4 production and oxidation. Here, we present compelling field-based evidence for As mobilisation linked to CH4 cycling, based on a comprehensive, depth-resolved dataset from four groundwater wells in northern Bangladesh. This includes isotopic measurements of δ13CVPDB-CH4, δ2HSMOW-CH4 , δ13CVPDB-CO2 as well as of various other hydrogeochemical parameters. Two of the wells exhibited high dissolved As concentrations, with depth-specific profiles showing significant correlations between As, Fe(II), and CH4. In particular, isotopic signatures of CH4 and CO2 revealed that CH4 formation and oxidation processes were closely associated with zones of elevated As. In contrast, the other two wells showed relatively low As and Fe(II) concentrations and no clear evidence of CH4-driven biogeochemical activity. Our findings suggest that, depending on site-specific hydro-biogeochemical conditions, Fe(III) (hydr)oxide reduction coupled to CH4 oxidation may substantially contribute to As mobilisation in Bangladeshi aquifers and potentially in other As-impacted regions worldwide.","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 Gulf of Genoa, a critical source region for European storm systems, has exhibited a 1.17°C increase in sea surface temperature (SST) between 2010 and 2020. This study links accelerated SST warming to enhanced atmospheric moisture availability, suggesting a substantial increase in storm precipitable water and precipitation intensity. Intermittent marine heatwaves might further elevate storm total precipitable water (TPW), increasing the likelihood of extreme rainfall events. Projections indicate that, under current warming trajectories, storms originating from the Gulf of Genoa may contain up to twice the moisture content by 2040, substantially amplifying heavy rains across Europe. Such extreme rainfall events are a significant threat to European cities, potentially resulting in catastrophic flooding. These findings emphasize the emerging role of oceanic warming in modulating mid-latitude storm dynamics, provide a potential explanatory framework for recent catastrophic floods, and underscore the urgent need for revised hydrological models, expanded flood management strategies, and adaptive risk governance in a rapidly changing climate.","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, if You fail to comply with this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License terminate automatically.\r\nWhere Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under Section 6(a), it reinstates:\r\n\r\nautomatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or\r\nupon express reinstatement by the Licensor.\r\nFor the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of this Public License.\r\nFor the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so will not terminate this Public License.\r\nSections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public License.\r\nSection 7 – Other Terms and Conditions.\r\n\r\nThe Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.\r\nAny arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the Licensed Material not stated herein are separate from and independent of the terms and conditions of this Public License.\r\nSection 8 – Interpretation.\r\n\r\nFor the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and shall not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose conditions on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully be made without permission under this Public License.\r\nTo the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and conditions.\r\nNo term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the Licensor.\r\nNothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities that apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal processes of any jurisdiction or authority.","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"keywords":[],"date_submitted":"2025-07-09T23:00:14.656000+02:00","date_accepted":"2025-07-10T15:18:10.568000+02:00","date_published":"2025-07-10T15:18:00+02:00","doi":null,"preprint_doi":"10.31223/X5XQ7P","authors":[{"pk":111410,"first_name":"Dorota","middle_name":"","last_name":"Retelska","salutation":"","orcid":"0009-0008-3349-1981"},{"pk":111411,"first_name":"Thierry","middle_name":"","last_name":"Meyer","salutation":"","orcid":"0000-0003-2546-9107"}],"subject":[{"name":"Environmental Sciences"}],"files":[{"original_filename":"PCLM-D-25-00224.pdf","mime_type":"application/pdf","download_url":"/repository/object/9627/download/17924/"}],"supplementary_files":[]},{"pk":9628,"title":"Conservation is Coherence: Introducing the Negawatt Philosophy of Lawful Design","abstract":"This paper articulates the Negawatt Philosophy, reframing conservation not as omission or moral restraint, but as the structural intelligence that sustains life and preserves biospheric coherence. Modern economies valorise extraction and combustion while treating conservation as invisible absence. Yet thermodynamics reveals life as negentropy—an ordering that defies the drift into entropy’s disorder.\n\nRooted in systems thinking, deep ecology, and traditions such as Daoist wu wei (non-forcing) and Confucian Lǐ (principled pattern and order), this philosophy positions conservation as the lawful structuring of flows to maintain systemic integrity. It recognises that life emerges from duality (the interplay of complementary forces: use and restraint, entropy and negentropy, combustion and conservation). Just as thumb and finger create grip through opposition, conservation provides the counterforce that generates design intelligence.\n\nThe Negawatt Philosophy establishes the conceptual foundation for the Negawatt Economy’s Ten Layers Architecture, mapping the flow from the philosophical principle to operational protocol. It introduces the Negatrope (defining conserved value as structural yield) and the Negawatt (its measurable manifestation, operationalised through Proof of Conservation). In this framing, conservation is not passive absence but an affirmative, enforceable design act that preserves biospheric integrity.\n\nUltimately, this philosophy calls for a civilisational shift—from economies defined by what we burn to economies defined by what we conserve. Conservation is coherence; it is the structural breath in that sustains life’s enduring possibility. \n\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\").
