Urban areas are increasingly vulnerable to flooding due to climate change and rapid urbanization. Traditional mapping and decision-support tools lack the capability to integrate real-time data or analyze cascading disruptions across interconnected urban systems. Digital twins offer a promising solution by enabling real-time monitoring, simulation, and optimization of urban environments. This study presents a comprehensive city-scale digital twin framework that integrates flood forecasting, transportation networks, and critical infrastructure systems into a unified, real-time cyberinfrastructure. By leveraging data from sensors, hydrological models, and geographic information systems (GIS), the framework enables interactive, three-dimensional simulations to assess flood impacts and their cascading effects on urban mobility and infrastructure. Using Waterloo, Iowa, as a case study, we demonstrate the framework’s ability to simulate flood scenarios, assess transportation disruptions, and generate actionable insights for disaster preparedness. The results highlight the framework’s potential to enhance urban resilience by providing a holistic understanding of interdependent urban systems, supporting data-driven decision-making, and advancing flood risk management strategies.

For this, a single-layer UCM is extended to represent street trees within urban canyons and multi-objective parameter optimizations and a global sensitivity analysis are conducted with the aid of machine learning (ML) technique. Including street trees markedly improves the simulation performances of net radiation, sensible heat flux, and latent heat flux at both dense and vegetated urban sites, substantially reducing their systematic errors. Moreover, including street trees reduces the trade-off between the simulation performances of net radiation and sensible heat flux. At the dense urban site, the simulation performances of net radiation and sensible heat flux are the most sensitive to roof albedo while that of latent heat flux is the most sensitive to tree fraction. At the vegetated urban site, the tree-related parameters are the most influential for the simulation performances of all the three energy fluxes. This study emphasizes the importance of street trees in better simulating urban surface energy balance and presents an ML-based framework for efficient parameter optimization and sensitivity analysis.","license":{"name":"CC BY Attribution 4.0 International","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Using mobile methane measurements and a back-trajectory attribution and rate estimation method, we measured overall site emissions and those of individual landfill components (active face, closed cells, leachate, etc). We evaluated each component’s contribution to the total emissions and compared how much of emissions captured by mobile surveys could be covered by the walking SEM survey. We found that SEM was effective for closed sites, achieving on-average 67% rate coverage. However, SEM missed relevant emission sources at open landfill sites, most notably from the active face, reducing its rate percent coverage to 17%. The limited rate coverage of SEM suggests that using SEM alone is insufficient for measurement-informed management of landfill emissions. We recommend that SEM be augmented by other methods to fill monitoring gaps and provide a more comprehensive assessment of landfill methane emissions.
Reservoir geomodelling is critical for groundwater management, CO₂ storage, geothermal exploitation, and hydrocarbon exploration, yet traditional geostatistical methods like multiple-point statistics (MPS) struggle with simulating complex geological patterns. GANSim, a Generative Adversarial Networks-based geomodelling method, has proven effective for single-scenario stationary reservoirs, but its performance on multi-scenario non-stationary systems remained unverified. Additionally, current GANSim may overlook single-pixel well facies data, causing local disconnections around wells. Therefore, this study proposes two workflows for multi-scenario reservoirs: one combining all scenarios together during training and another incorporating an explicit scenario falsification process before GANSim training. GANSim neural network architecture is further enhanced by proposing a local discriminator design to address the local disconnection problem of single-pixel well facies data. Validated on a multi-scenario non-stationary turbidite reservoir, both GANSim workflows generate realistic, conditional, and non-stationary facies models while falsifying incompatible scenarios. The local disconnection issue of single-pixel well facies data is effectively eliminated. Compared to MPS, GANSim demonstrates superior reproduction ability of expected geological patterns and computational efficiency, achieving simulations ~1000 times faster than MPS.

Recent advances in subglacial hydrological modeling allow us to shed light on subglacial processes that lead to changes in ice mass balance in High Mountain Asia (HMA). We present the first application of the Subglacial Hydrology And Kinetic, Transient Interactions (SHAKTI) model on an alpine glacier. Shishper Glacier, our study site, is a mountain glacier in northern Pakistan that exhibits concurrent surges and GLOFs which endanger local communities and infrastructure. Without coupling to ice velocity, the modeled subglacial hydrological system undergoes transitions between inefficient to efficient drainage and back during spring and fall, supporting previous observations of spring and fall speedups of glaciers in the region. We compare modeled effective pressures from the years 2017-2019 with previously observed velocities, suggesting that while subglacial hydrology may explain seasonal sliding dynamics, our model is unable to provide an explanation for surge-scale behavior, implicating a need for coupled hydrological and ice dynamics modeling of surge conditions. This work demonstrates the potential of using ice sheet models for alpine glaciology and provides a new nucleus for modeling of glacial hazards in alpine environments.

This piedmont glacier, the largest in the world of its kind, is fed by three main tributaries that all exhibit similar flow patterns, yet with varying surge cycles. The piedmont lobe is dramatically reshaped by surges that occur at approximately decadal timescales. By combining historical accounts with modern remote sensing data we derive a surge history over the past century. We leverage the Stochastic Matrix Factorization, a novel data analysis and interpolation technique, to process and interpret large datasets of glacier surface velocities. A variant of the Principal Component Analysis allows us to uncover spatial and temporal patterns in ice dynamics. We show that Sít' Tlein displays a wide range of behaviors, spanning quiescence to surge with seasonal to decadal variations of ice flow direction and magnitude. We find that surges dominate the velocity dataset's variance (spanning 1984 to 2021), while seasonal variations represent a much smaller part of the variance.

ICESat-2 shows consistently thicker ice compared to CryoSat-2 across the western coastal Arctic, while CryoSat-2 shows some periods of thicker ice across the Central Arctic, largely consistent with winter thickness biases. Validation against upward-looking sonar moor- ings, IceBird-2019 airborne observations, and MOSAiC buoy data highlights generally strong performance across a range of conditions, although seasonal biases linked to snow loading, freeboard differences, and ice density assump- tions persist. The SnowModel-LG and NESOSIM snow accumulation models perform well across the validation datasets, but do not consistently add skill beyond the modified Warren climatology. Experimental ICESat-2/CryoSat-2 dual altimetry winter snow depths show strong performance relative to ex- isting products and future work should extend these into summer for fur- ther assessments. Overall, our analysis supports the viability of an all-season ICESat-2-derived thickness record.","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\").

Recordings were made using an irregular array of three broadband and eight short-period seismometers, with approximately 3 km aperture, deployed slightly upstream of the expected grounding line during the 2017-18 austral summer. The broadband sensors were used to construct the event catalogue, and the short-period instruments used to aid constraints on source directionality relative to the array. We observe a diurnal cycle of seismicity, which is characterised by Rayleigh waves with peak activity corresponding to low surface temperature, indicating surface crevassing enhanced by thermal stress as the dominant source mechanism. Event groups were formed using manual analysis, followed by template matching. These groups revealed spatial and temporal clusters with distinct crevassing zones operating in diurnal cycles, and other near-surface sources with weaker periodicity potentially originating from firn or hydrological processes. These cycles and source variability show the evolution of the surface on daily and season timescales, so may provide useful insights on hydrofracture and ice shelf stability.

The Nines of Safety (NoS) concept described in this study provides a new perspective for flood risk communication and assessment. The NoS method can help analyze flood risk comprehensively and support decision-makers and the public understand their vulnerability under various conditions. This novel approach considers physical parameters, socioeconomic factors, and demographics to assess flood risk. The analysis demonstrates that water characteristics are crucial to determining safety. The socioeconomic parameters deal with how income, age, and population density affect flooding risk. The analysis shows how these factors affect the Nines of Safety scale. These variations highlight the importance of a community-specific risk communication strategy. Explaining the complexity of flood risk assessment with this novel method makes it more accessible. Given its quantitative and qualitative effects, this strategy could empower communities to make sensible decisions and adapt to changing flood scenarios. The Nines of Safety concept can help communities better understand their risks. Information on vulnerable individuals and land use can help understand how different factors affect flood risk profiles. This study discusses how the NoS technique can transform flood risk perceptions and strengthen communities. By integrating this new strategy into risk management, stakeholders may tailor their responses to each community, making them more robust to flooding.","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":"Flood Risk"},{"word":" risk communication"},{"word":" Nines of Safety"},{"word":" flood warning"},{"word":" risk perception"}],"date_submitted":"2024-01-12T17:41:03.230000Z","date_accepted":"2024-01-12T22:22:11.694000Z","date_published":"2024-01-12T14:21:00Z","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1017/wat.2026.10017","preprint_doi":"10.31223/X58H5Z","authors":[{"pk":26275,"first_name":"S M Samiul","middle_name":"","last_name":"Islam","salutation":"Mr","orcid":"0000-0002-1123-2558"},{"pk":3764,"first_name":"Ibrahim","middle_name":"","last_name":"Demir","salutation":"Dr","orcid":null}],"subject":[{"name":"Civil and Environmental Engineering"},{"name":"Environmental Studies"},{"name":"Risk Analysis"}],"files":[{"original_filename":"Manuscript Nines of Safety_EarthArxiv.pdf","mime_type":"application/pdf","download_url":"/repository/object/6539/download/12633/"},{"original_filename":"Manuscript Nines of Safety_EarthArxiv.pdf","mime_type":"application/pdf","download_url":"/repository/object/6539/download/12636/"}],"supplementary_files":[]},{"pk":8687,"title":"Velocity of climate change and the vulnerability of mountain lake landscapes","abstract":"Freshwater ecosystems in mountain landscapes are increasingly threatened by climate change. Accumulated heat in ecosystems can result in lethal short-term heat exposure, while the velocity of change governs severity and rates of long-term heat exposure. Here, we novelly integrate heat accumulation and velocity of change approaches to classify climate-vulnerable USA mountain lake watersheds. Our results broadly demonstrate how rates of heat accumulation are increasing across mountain landscapes, and that this rise is most pronounced at lower elevations. We estimate 19% of mountain watersheds are currently at greatest vulnerability, and this value is set to jump to 33% by end-of-century. Further, mean killing degree days (i.e., mean number of days above 90th percentile) will increase 215 – 254% (mean = 236%) over this same timeframe. Taken together, results indicate heat accumulation will increase substantially over the next 75 years; changes will be experienced most severely in lower elevation landscapes and those with the greatest historical velocity of change. This degree of climate change will likely restructure species’ distributions. Decision-makers can utilize these classifications to understand landscapes likely to support desired species and ecosystem services into the future, thereby enabling more effective allocation of limited conservation resources.","license":{"name":"CC-By Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International","short_name":"CC BY-SA 4.0","text":"Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Canister integrity can be compromised by the activity of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and by abiotic corrosion. Unexpected aerobic microbial growth and SRB inhibition under anoxic conditions were observed in bentonite during a recent long-term in-situ experiment. It raised the possibility that residual O₂ may delay anaerobic growth. Here, to investigate the role of O₂, bentonite was equilibrated with 0, 21, or 100% O₂, compacted to 1.25 g/cm³, and deployed in a borehole for 1.5 years. Analyses revealed that the higher the O₂ concentration in bentonite, the greater the biomass and the more Desulfatitalea sp. dominates the SRB population. The thickest corrosion layer product of carbon steel was found in the 21% O₂ case, reflecting ongoing aerobic and anaerobic processes. In contrast, the most extensive structural Fe(III) reduction within montmorillonite was observed at 0% O₂. These findings demonstrate that residual bentonite O₂ shapes microbial activity and alters corrosion dynamics, highlighting the importance of accounting for oxygen during early repository evolution.","license":{"name":"CC BY Attribution 4.0 International","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

A sample from the Eagle occurrence, an ultramafic-hosted sulfide deposit in Michigan, USA that is the only active Ni mine in the United States, was characterized both before and after reaction with supercritical CO2 at elevated pressure and temperature. We present the changes in mineralogy, feature relocation, and potential for carbon mineralization and critical mineral recovery based on the comparison of pre- and post-reaction datasets. Herein, we present evidence of dissolution-precipitation reactions leading to carbon mineralization and critical mineral mobilization driven by water-saturated supercritical CO2 fluids, including the formation of aragonite and dissolution-reprecipitation of Ni phases Collectively, these results will improve fate and transport models for carbon storage in ultramafic rocks, increase understanding of new unconventional sources for critical minerals, and provide a foundation for future studies on CO2 enhanced mineral recovery (CO2-EMR).","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":"carbon dioxide removal"},{"word":"critical materials"},{"word":"geologic carbon sequestration"},{"word":"carbon mineralization"},{"word":"Critical minerals"},{"word":"nickel"}],"date_submitted":"2025-06-20T17:08:47.575000Z","date_accepted":"2025-06-20T21:30:52.231000Z","date_published":"2025-06-20T21:30:00Z","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.estlett.5c00603","preprint_doi":"10.31223/X5G150","authors":[{"pk":110404,"first_name":"Madeline","middle_name":"A.","last_name":"Murchland","salutation":"Ms","orcid":"0000-0002-8277-8144"},{"pk":24956,"first_name":"Quin","middle_name":"R.S.","last_name":"Miller","salutation":"Dr","orcid":null},{"pk":108092,"first_name":"Alexandra","middle_name":"","last_name":"Nagurney","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":110500,"first_name":"C.

The geochemical records fingerprint specific Chicxulub related impact ejecta products and thereby further constrain the timeline of ejecta deposition. High-resolution (25 μm) micro-X-ray fluorescence (µ-XRF) mapping and quantitative integrated-area linescans in combination with ESEM-EDS analyses of the Starkville South sequence (Raton Basin, Colorado) reveal a complex microstratigraphy, in which additional sublayers can be identified than the classic ‘dual-layer’ succession, described in literature for US Western Interior K-Pg sites. First, a basal claystone is identified with abundant glassy impact spherules that have been altered over time to kaolinite and jarosite due to acidic and reducing conditions in a local swamp environment. This first lithology is followed by a carbonaceous shale interval rich in ejected quartz grains. These two ejecta intervals are interpreted to have formed by ballistic transport from the Chicxulub crater region and were likely emplaced within ∼1 hour after impact at Starkville. In the overlying lignite layer, pronounced enrichments in both zirconium and chromium are detected, hinting to a triple ejecta layer with a large part of the siderophile element anomaly being likely preserved in this coaly interval, including the famous iridium anomaly. These enrichments are attributed to fine-grained impact dust comprising of pulverized granitoid basement (Zr) and an admixture of meteoritic material (Cr, Ni and likely Ir), probably deposited <20 years after impact following slow atmospheric settling.

This study quantifies the relative importance of the two processes on KW maintenance by comparing the growth rates of eddy available potential energy (EAPE) and eddy kinetic energy (EKE) within KWs using satellite and reanalysis data. Results show KWs are maintained primarily by the internal thermodynamic feedback in all regions and seasons, especially over the Indian Ocean, where the mean state sea surface temperature is the highest, and the upper tropospheric westerly is the weakest. Overall, the observed relative importance of the two maintenance processes can serve as a reference for numerical simulations of KWs.

However, measuring directivity of small earthquakes is challenging due to their compact rupture sizes and complex path and site effects at high frequencies. Here, we develop a new approach that deconvolves energy envelopes of the S-coda waves to remove path and site effects and robustly resolve azimuthal variations in apparent source-time functions. Our method benefits from the coherence of energy envelopes for high-frequency seismic data, which provides more stable directivity results than regular deconvolution methods. We validate our method using synthetic tests and a well-documented moderate-sized event. We apply the algorithm to determine rupture directivities of 69 magnitude 3.5--5.5 earthquakes during the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence. The rupture directivities suggest an orthogonal interlocking fault system consistent with aftershock locations. Additionally, the rupture directivity pattern appears to correlate with spatial heterogeneity in earthquake stress drops. Our energy envelope deconvolution method enables directivity measurements at lower magnitudes than traditional approaches and has potential for constraining small earthquake rupture dynamics.","license":{"name":"CC BY Attribution 4.0 International","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

To this end, developing a proxy for groundwater level using dv/v is an opportunity but requires further understanding of the relation between dv/v and subsurface hydrology. In this study, we apply single-station cross-component correlation analysis to 28 broadband seismic stations in Utah between January 2006 and March 2023 and analyze the dv/v in the 2-4 Hz frequency band. To explain dv/v, we linearly superimpose thermoelastic stresses, soil moisture estimated from remote sensing data products, and a long-term deep water table pore pressure. We find that the relative contributions of each depend on the location, but adding a long-term water table decline, which is not systematically observed in soil moisture, better fits our data. We conclude that soil moisture alone does not explain the variations in total water storage when subsurface moisture is decoupled from the deep water table. We also conclude that dv/v can be used as a proxy for water storage.","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\").

It is not well-understood why neither the 2021 nor the prior 2010 Mw7.0 earthquakes were pure strike slip events and, instead, ruptured with distinct patches of dip slip and strike slip motion on largely separate fault planes. The major characteristics of the earthquake rupture include: the characteristic spatial and temporal separation of strike-slip and dip-slip motion, rupture transfer to the Ravine du Sud Fault (RSF), and a multi-peak source time function. We develop several 3D dynamic rupture simulations of the 2021 earthquake to analyze which conditions may have controlled the complex rupture. We construct a detailed fault system geometry with 17 fault segments, including a north-dipping Thrust Fault (TF) and near-vertical RSF, along with surrounding regional and secondary faults. We find that along-strike changes to the frictional strength of the TF are needed to focus the slip to match the scale and pattern of surface deformation observed with InSAR. Lateral changes in the regional stress shape and orientation are key to generating the observed rupture transfer from the TF to the RSF while maintaining the rake required to match the broad InSAR surface deformation pattern and multi-peak source time function. The dynamic rupture modeling results suggest that significant variability in fault stress and strength as well as complexities of the subsurface geometry may have been key controlling factors on the dynamics of the 2021 rupture.

However, resolving these dynamics is challenging due to their rapid evolution (hours to days) and small spatial scales (1-10 km) of variability. The Modular Aerial Sensing System (MASS), an airborne instrument package measuring concurrent ocean dynamics and hyperspectral ocean color, provides a powerful tool to study the influence of submesoscale dynamics on phytoplankton and carbon. In this study, we present the first airborne observations pairing snapshots of sub-kilometer ocean velocities and their derivatives (i.e. vorticity, divergence, and strain) with concurrent ocean color and sea surface temperature. We developed airborne proxies of chlorophyll-a and particulate organic carbon, which explained about 70.7% and 65.6% of in situ variability without the need for atmospheric correction, suggesting that MASS can detect shifts in phytoplankton distributions. We also explored relationships between concurrent vorticity, divergence, strain, sea surface temperature, chlorophyll-a, and hyperspectral variables to illuminate the submesoscale processes that alter phytoplankton distributions. This study demonstrates the value of merging bio-optical and physical airborne remote sensing data to better understand the influence of submesoscale dynamics on oceanic ecosystems and organic carbon. We highlight the potential for suborbital remote sensing to quantify processes that impact phytoplankton ecosystems and carbon transport without the spatiotemporal aliasing affecting in situ sensors.","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\").

Geodynamic processes associated with the slab window are poorly understood. Here we apply finite-frequency P and SH body wave tomography to seismic data from several temporary arrays as well as regional stations to image seismic heterogeneities down to 650 km depth. The results show strong low velocity anomalies extending to 400 km depth beneath recent back-arc volcanism between 46oS and 48oS, suggesting a link to thermal upwelling in the upper mantle. The southern edge of the Nazca slab extends aseismically down to at least 350 km. We also image low upper mantle seismic velocities beneath the Patagonia icefields, suggesting low viscosity modulates the patterns of uplift and horizontal deformation observed by GNSS.

Here we compare coseismic deformation of the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake with 4767 individual marine terraces attributed to 16 sea-level stands over the last Myr. This reveals that the earthquake faults started slipping between 326 and 238 ka. The emerged landscape is still adjusting to it while the nearshore domain already records it, in particular the -60 m trace of the average coastline across eustatic cycles. Applied to nearby Sado Island, these observations reveal the likely location of an active fault that drives its fast deformation. We show that scarps along the currently submerged “average coastline” are more likely to be active faults defining the edge of land.

Our quantitative, rift-scale geomorphic analyses in the Suez Rift, an archetypal failed rift in Egypt, reveals widespread rifting after presumed rift “failure”. Stacked topographic swaths document normal fault offsets in Plio-Quaternary rocks along the entire rift length, where fluvial metrics show steep gradients consistent with active faulting. Quaternary shorelines uplifted along both margins constrain footwall uplift rates of up to 0.13±0.04 mm/yr in normal faults with estimated down-dip heights of 10-15 km and inferred activity by 3.12±0.23 and 4.44±0.2 Ma. Pleistocene- Recent extension rates of 0.26-0.55 mm/yr are lower than rates in preceding rift phases, albeit compatible with those of modestly active intracontinental rifts (e.g., Basin and Range). Our evidence of active extension after rift “abandonment” supports continued but decelerated rifting, not failure, in the Suez Rift.

Isolating the source component requires solving an ill-posed inverse problem. Whether the instability of inferred source parameters arises from varying properties of the source, or from approximations we introduce in solving the problem, remains an open question. Such approximations often derive from limited knowledge of the forward problem. The Empirical Green’s function (EGF) approach offers a partial remedy by approximating the forward response of larger events using the records of small events. Indeed, the choice of the « best » small event drastically influences the properties estimated for the larger earthquake. Discriminating variability in source properties from epistemic uncertainties, stemming from the forward problem or other modeling assumptions, requires us to reliably account for, and propagate, any bias or trade-off introduced in the problem. We propose a Bayesian inversion framework that aims at providing reliable and probabilistic estimates of source parameters (here, for the source-time function or STF), and their posterior uncertainty, in the time domain. We jointly solve for the best EGF using one or a few small events as prior EGF. Our approach is based on DeepGEM, an unsupervised generalized expectation-maximization framework for blind inversion (Gao et al, 2021). We demonstrate, with toy models as well as an application to an earthquake swarm in California, the potential of DeepGEM-EGF to disentangle the variability of the seismic source from biases introduced by modeling assumptions.

This includes the subduction of the proto-South China Sea beneath Sabah, terminating ~21 Ma; a postulated later phase of subduction of the Celebes Sea plate, terminating ~9 Ma; extension in central Sabah ~9-10Ma; rapid emplacement and exhumation of a granite intrusion ~7Ma, and the development of a fold-thrust belt offshore during the last 5 Myr. While these events have left imprints in the surface rock record, it has not been possible, until recently, to investigate deeper lithospheric processes that have shaped Sabah. The installation of 46 broadband seismometers - the northern Borneo Orogeny Seismic Survey (nBOSS) - between 2018 and 2020 means that it is now possible to constrain the architecture of the crust and uppermost mantle beneath Sabah. We use two years of passive seismic data recorded by the nBOSS network, and an additional 24 Malaysian Meteorological Service broadband seismometers in Sabah to calculate P-wave receiver functions. We then use these in a joint inversion with surface wave data to obtain shear velocity models of crustal structure. The thickest crust (60km) occurs beneath the Crocker Range, while the thinnest crust (24km) is found in central Sabah, potentially recording Miocene extension. The crust beneath the 4095m high Mt Kinabalu is also comparatively thin. Distinct, low-velocity, dipping anomalies identified in our shear wave velocity models provide clear evidence for underthrusting of Dangerous Grounds continental crust following subduction and collision.

Enhancing data acquisition by improving spatial resolution and isolating the underlying phenomena contributing to the overall signal has become a central direction in various scientific fields. In paleomagnetism, this advancement is now possible with the advent of magnetic microscopy (MM), whose high spatial resolution and magnetic moment sensitivity allow for imaging samples at the mineral grain scale. In this study, we aim to obtain reliable paleomagnetic directions using only MM data. To achieve this, we apply Euler deconvolution to solve the linear problem and mitigate the non-uniqueness associated with inversion. As an additional step, we refine the recovered parameters using a nonlinear inversion and remove interfering signals between sources to minimize noise. This algorithm was applied to both synthetic and real data and compared to its predecessor. The results from synthetic data demonstrate that this new approach is able to detect weaker sources and produce more accurate grain-level results, which in turn leads to larger datasets and improved statistical characterization of the sample. For real data, we observe that the iterative method was significantly more efficient than its predecessor, successfully retrieving the natural remanent magnetization direction of a basaltic sample with 3° accuracy. This represents a significant step forward in applying MM data to paleomagnetic studies.

These peculiar spectral characteristics are often attributed to source effects, such as resonances of fluid-filled cracks. In this paper, we report the results of numerical simulations of seismic wave propagation showing that the main signal features of the LP earthquakes (long duration and spectral peaks) can arise from strong multiple scattering in the strogly heterogeneous volcanic media.\nWe consider seismic sources located within a strongly heterogeneous volcanic plumbing system created through multiple injections of magmatic dykes and sills into the surrounding crustal rocks. The resulting structure is characterized by multiple batches of almost fully melted rocks and, as a consequence, by very strong contrasts of elastic properties. \nBy computing the propagation of waves in this medium, we show that the highly heterogeneous structure generates strong multiple scattering of seismic waves, whose interference leads to multiple peaks in the signal spectra.\nSome of these peaks are common to multiple receivers and thus are produced by local resonances in the vicinity of sources located in areas where the media is particularly heterogeneous. Although arising within irregular-shaped magma batches, these local resonances have a similarity with the fluid-filled crack model, implying that their frequencies are somehow linked to the near-source structure. \nMeanwhile, many spectral peaks are observed only for specific source-receiver pairs, implying that they are due to the interference of waves traveling along specific paths and therefore should not be interpreted as signatures of the near-source structure and processes. Overall, our results show that separating path and source effects for seismo-volcanic signals in realistically heterogeneous media might be delicate and not all spectral features should be attributed to the latter.","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 a Bayesian inversion approach, the nonlinear relationship between model parameters and data requires a computationally demanding Monte Carlo (MC) approach. As the computational cost of the MC method grows exponentially with the number of parameters, dynamic inversion of large earthquakes, involving hundreds to thousands parameters, is hindered by slow convergence and sampling issues. We introduce a novel multi-stage approach for dynamic source inversion. We divide the earthquake source into a hierarchical set of temporal and spatial stages. As each stage involves only a limited number of independent model parameters, their inversion converges faster. Stages are interdependent: the inversion results of an earlier stage are a prior for the next stage inversion. We use Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Networks to transfer the prior information between inversion stages. As proof-of-concept, we apply a two-stage version of our dynamic source inversion approach to a simulated earthquake scenario generated by dynamic rupture modeling. Compared to direct MC inversion, the two-stage approach achieves substantial improvements in relevant performance metrics, including integrated autocorrelation time, and a large increase in stability across several independent runs. Further application of the two-stage Bayesian inversion method will allow for expanded dynamic modeling studies of large earthquakes, paving the way towards a better understanding of earthquake physics.","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 Climate Models suggest this “direct” precipitation response ranges from -2% to -3% per CO2 doubling and hence contributes significantly to the net precipitation response of +3% to +9% per CO2 doubling. Our study aims to explain the magnitude and state-dependence of the direct precipitation response by developing an analytical model for CO2 surface forcing. The model is grounded in idealized CO2 spectroscopy that considers CO2 absorption bands both at 667 cm−1 and 1000 cm−1 and is validated against line-by-line radiative transfer calculations. Surface forcing increases with higher surface temperatures and less atmospheric water vapor. By combining our model with a previously established analytical model for top-of-atmosphere CO2 forcing, we derive a simplified model to estimate atmospheric forcing and quantify the global-mean precipitation sensitivity to CO2 changes. Atmospheric forcing increases with surface temperature and decreases with tropopause temperature. Despite ignoring shortwave changes and clouds, our analytical results compare favorably with the surface forcing in CMIP6 models and capture the bulk of these models’ direct precipitation response. Our surface forcing model thus provides a theoretical understanding for how CO2 increases suppress precipitation; it also has implications for understanding the precipitation response under solar geoengineering and how CO2 changes affect land climates.","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\").

Satellite-based quantifications of CO2 point source emissions have been limited by the spatial coverage of current satellite instruments. We combine three different satellite instruments to determine carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of seven large cities and six industrial complexes. We first estimate CO emission rates using TROPOMI CO observations with the Cross-Sectional Flux method. Subsequently, CO2 emission rates are calculated by multiplying with the ratio of TROPOMI-observed CO enhancements and CO2 enhancements from OCO-2 and OCO-3, also representing the combustion efficiency. We use synthetic observations to validate our approach and show that the inclusion of TROPOMI CO observations increases the number of possible CO2 emission quantifications. Using 2018-2023 observations, we find lower CO emission rates for Delhi and Lahore than the EDGAR emission inventory. In contrast, our CO emission estimates exceed bottom-up inventory estimates for most industrial sources. This is caused by observed combustion efficiencies that are generally lower than those reported in emission inventories. Our CO2 emission estimates show better agreement with EDGAR than the CO emissions, especially for industrial sources. We find higher CO2 emission rates than EDGAR for the cities of Delhi, Lahore, and Cairo that better agree with the ODIAC inventory. Our work shows the importance of CO as a co-emitted species, and paves the way for a similar approach to be applied to the combination of TROPOMI, its successor Sentinel-5, and the future CO2M satellites.","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, recent submesoscale modeling studies have advanced to a horizontal grid spacing of O(10 m) that is comparable to, or even smaller than, the typical depth of the turbulent surface boundary layer. Meanwhile, efforts toward realistic large-eddy simulations (LES) nested within regional models require subdomains with similar grid spacings, where turbulent eddies are partially resolved in the mixed layer. The range of intermediate gird resolution, often known as the \"gray zone\", presents challenges for model configuration and analysis, including uncertainties regarding the behavior of common turbulence closures outside of their ideal use cases. In this study, we evaluate three common configurations for subgrid turbulence—k-ε, Smagorinsky, and an implicit no-closure method—in the gray zone resolutions for the ocean surface mixed layer. Results indicate the k-ε closure shows less sensitivity to grid spacing, producing accurate mean mixed-layer profiles even with partially resolved turbulence. However, it overly damps turbulent motions, significantly reducing small-scale variability that could otherwise be captured. The Smagorinsky closure and the implicit method, in contrast, exhibit higher sensitivity to grid spacing, initially performing poorly but converging toward baseline solutions at finer grids. Our findings provide guidance for submesoscale and turbulent-scale modeling, recommending Smagorinsky or implicit methods for nesting scenarios at turbulence-permitting resolutions. The k-ε closure is more suitable for high-resolution models primarily focused on accurate mean-state representations rather than explicitly resolving detailed three-dimensional turbulence.","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\").

However, existing workflows are typically limited by low throughput, manual segmentation, and reliance on proprietary software, constraining dataset reproducibility and scalability. Here we present ForamJ, an open-source ImageJ plugin developed specifically for the semi-automated, reproducible analysis of foraminiferal µCT datasets. ForamJ streamlines key stages of image processing, including test segmentation, homogenous infill removal, chamber isolation, and morphological quantification, with outputs tailored to established micropaleontological metrics while providing a significant decrease in processing time versus existing methods. These include both calcite volume and chamber volumes, test surface area, inner and outer wall thickness, chamber centroid coordinates - parameters directly relevant to taxonomy, taphonomy, paleoecology, and biomineralisation processes. The plugin supports both single-sample and batch-processing workflows, enabling high-throughput analysis. Two use cases are presented: (1) the assessment of species-specific morphological variability in ancient cosmopolitan benthic foraminifera genus Cibicidoides spp. and (2) quantification of trends in between multiple species of modern planktonic foraminifera. Validation against manual segmentation of benthic foraminifera performed in commercial software ORS Dragonfly demonstrates ForamJ’s analytical fidelity, with a 1.30% difference in calcite volume between ForamJ and manually annotated tests, with a 0.9981% (± 0.001) segmentation accuracy and 0.97 (± 0.008) dice score with a median processing speed of 154 seconds per sample. By embedding foraminifera-specific metrics into an accessible, reproducible, and extensible framework, ForamJ provides a lightweight, dedicated digital toolset for advancing µCT-based test analysis in foraminiferal research.","license":{"name":"CC BY Attribution 4.0 International","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Here, we present the first global assessment based on in-situ observations from ~480,000 coastal monitoring locations. From 1990 to 2024, 21% of grid-cell aggregates had significant rising or falling GWL trends with magnitudes ≥0.1 m yr⁻¹ and with declines becoming more frequent in the last 9 years. More pronounced changes are observed for deeper water tables (ρs=0.63), in arid settings (ρs=0.56), and in some rural areas. SWI susceptibility is higher where seaward freshwater discharge is weak or gradients reverse landward, leaving limited hydraulic resistance to SWI. Decadal trend extrapolation suggests that these conditions mostly persist (93.4%), while 3.5% newly emerge and 3.1% stabilize (gradients strengthen seaward). The results provide global evidence for prioritizing monitoring and management of coastal groundwater at risk of salinization.

Accurate representation of these impacts requires accounting for the effects of prolonged sequences of hot days on mortality, the change in that mortality due to anthropogenic forcing, and the potential compensating effects of adaptation to heat. Here, we revisit the August 2003 heat wave in France, a canonical event in a region with rich climate and mortality data, to understand these influences. We find that standard heat mortality exposure-response functions underpredict excess deaths in August 2003 by 55%, but that accounting for the temporally compounding effects of hot days better matches observed mortality. After accounting for compounding effects and applying a machine learning approach to single-event climate attribution, we attribute 6,079 deaths in August 2003 to climate change, ten times higher than previous estimates. Finally, we show that recent adaptation to heat has reduced the projected death tolls of future 2003-like events by more than 75%.

The availability of remote sensing data has permitted numerous crop classification studies, which have investigated a variety of methods to improve classification performance, such as the selection of remote sensing sources, classification algorithms, and preprocessing methods. This paper compares these approaches with respect to classification accuracy in a European context. The study also investigates aspects such as classification level, study area division, and class granularity. The review shows that optical products provide more information for crop identification than radar products, however, combining optical data with radar backscatter increases accuracy. Classification accuracy benefits from specific features such as red-edge and spectral indices for optical products and Haralik textures for radar. Compared to traditional machine learning and distance-based classification methods, deep learning algorithms have been shown to achieve superior performance. Nevertheless, random forest's comparative accuracy at relatively low computational cost makes it a viable alternative for large-scale applications. Finally, preprocessing methods and data on topography, climate, and crop growth patterns appear to improve accuracy.","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":"Crop Mapping"},{"word":" classification accuracy"},{"word":" Supervised Classification"},{"word":" meta-analysis"},{"word":" Preprocessing"},{"word":" Postprocessing"},{"word":"Classification Accuracy"},{"word":"supervised classification"},{"word":"meta-analysis"},{"word":"Preprocessing"},{"word":"Postprocessing"}],"date_submitted":"2025-07-04T12:04:45.603000Z","date_accepted":"2025-07-04T14:14:34.928000Z","date_published":"2025-07-04T14:14:00Z","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1080/01431161.2025.2565837","preprint_doi":"10.31223/X54F1H","authors":[{"pk":111148,"first_name":"Elif","middle_name":"","last_name":"Dönmez","salutation":"Ms","orcid":"0000-0002-5683-6750"},{"pk":111149,"first_name":"Thomas","middle_name":"","last_name":"Heckelei","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":111150,"first_name":"Hugo","middle_name":"","last_name":"Storm","salutation":"","orcid":null}],"subject":[{"name":"Agriculture"},{"name":"Earth Sciences"}],"files":[{"original_filename":"full text _ preprint.pdf","mime_type":"application/pdf","download_url":"/repository/object/9582/download/17852/"}],"supplementary_files":[]},{"pk":7657,"title":"Envisioning nature positive futures for Europe: Inspiring transformative change at the biodiversity nexus","abstract":"Transformative change is required to secure a liveable future for people and nature. The Nature Futures Framework (NFF) is a heuristic tool to facilitate the creation of plural visions of nature positive futures that help build shared motivation for transformative change. Integrating nexus approaches with the NFF leverages the foundational role of biodiversity in supporting desirable outcomes across sectors and scales (i.e., the biodiversity nexus). In this paper, we bring these areas of biodiversity research together by co-creating plural visions of nature futures for Europe that make positive synergies within the biodiversity nexus explicit and consider transformative changes to the state of indirect drivers that enable them. In doing so, we aim to reflect upon methodological insights for future applications of the NFF. Nature futures for Europe were co-created with 26 participants representing diverse sectors and regions in Europe, resulting in three visions underpinned by different value perspectives: Dòigh Nàdair: The way of nature (Nature as Culture), NaturAll (Nature for Nature), and Return to Nature (Nature for Society). Subsequent analyses and a webinar enriched the narratives with possibilities for more synergistic nexus interactions. The findings highlight how plural visioning processes can generate distinct visions with positive nexus synergies enabled by unique indirect drivers. Yet, the resulting visions also share common features with overlapping value perspectives that evolved through the process. The methodological advances reveal how explicit consideration of the biodiversity nexus can mitigate unintended trade-offs between diverse values of biodiversity and increase the overall ambition of biodiversity outcomes.

Regarding global agriculture, laboratory experiments suggest that early crop exposure to heat may either confer tolerance or enhance vulnerability to subsequent heat during the critical crop flowering stage. We show that warm early-seasons improve crop yield potential, particularly for soybean and maize, but also increase the impacts of subsequent heat by 5% to 55% compared to years with average early-season temperatures. The impacts of this increased yield sensitivity outweigh the benefits of early season heat when mid-season temperature anomalies exceed 0.7–5°C (depending on the crop). Analyzing projected temperatures under the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway 3-7.0, we find a tenfold increase in the likelihood of experiencing sequential heat in early and mid-season crop growth stages, defined as a joint 90th percentile event. Accounting for the interactive effects of early and mid-season warming increases projected temperature-related crop yield losses by 2–44%, depending on crop and region. These results underline the emerging nonlinear risks from sequential heat extremes to food systems, which can largely be avoided when limiting warming to 1.5°C globally.","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":"compound events"},{"word":"Food production"},{"word":"Heat Extremes"},{"word":"climate change"}],"date_submitted":"2025-09-05T11:04:32.048000Z","date_accepted":"2025-09-06T13:03:58.724000Z","date_published":"2025-09-06T13:03:00Z","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ae06b8","preprint_doi":"10.31223/X5NB2H","authors":[{"pk":110578,"first_name":"Raed","middle_name":"","last_name":"Hamed","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":24999,"first_name":"Carmen","middle_name":"B.","last_name":"Steinmann","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":119387,"first_name":"Qiyun","middle_name":"","last_name":"Ma","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":119388,"first_name":"Daniel","middle_name":"","last_name":"Balanzategui","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":119389,"first_name":"Ellie","middle_name":"","last_name":"Broadman","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":94368,"first_name":"Corey","middle_name":"","last_name":"Lesk","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":3615,"first_name":"Kai","middle_name":"","last_name":"Kornhuber","salutation":"","orcid":"0000-0001-5466-2059"}],"subject":[{"name":"Agriculture"},{"name":"Climate"}],"files":[{"original_filename":"sequential_heat_ERL_preprint.pdf","mime_type":"application/pdf","download_url":"/repository/object/10146/download/18765/"}],"supplementary_files":[]},{"pk":9728,"title":"Air quality impacts of electricity purchase and air travel by organizations","abstract":"Organizational climate actions often prioritize greenhouse gas reductions without considering other impacts such as improved air quality from reduced fossil fuel use.

We quantify the impact of organizations' fossil fuel use from electricity purchasing and air travel on climate and air quality using a system-level approach, with data from two universities and one corporation based in greater Boston. We use energy system and aviation emission models to estimate marginal emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollution precursors, and compare monetized air quality impacts calculated using an atmospheric chemistry-transport model with climate impacts from the same activities. Organizational activities were associated with air quality damages of ~$88/tCO2 (electricity purchase) and ~$265/tCO2 (air travel), compared to ~$170–200/tCO\\2 in climate damages (2015 USD). Air quality impacts vary spatially, with renewable energy purchases and short-haul flight segments having proportionally more impacts in the US Northeast.

Vertical Greenery Systems\n(VGS) are increasingly promoted as nature-based solutions for space-constrained cities,\nyet their performance remains highly variable and context-dependent. This systematic\nreview, conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines and synthesising evidence from\n34 peer-reviewed studies, demonstrates that VGS hydrological efficacy is not a universal\nconstant but is fundamentally moderated by local climatic conditions. Climate acts as the\nprimary filter, shaping system function across tropical, temperate, Mediterranean, arid,\nand cold zones, each presenting distinct opportunities and constraints. Beyond climate,\nperformance is refined by system typology (green façades versus living walls), plant\nfunctional traits (notably root architecture), and substrate composition, which together\ndetermine trade-offs between runoff delay, retention, and water quality improvement.\nThe review further reveals a stark divergence in adoption barriers: in the Global North,\nhigh costs, regulatory complexity, and data gaps create institutional inertia, whereas in\nthe Global South, limited awareness, misaligned priorities, and weak policy frameworks\nrelegate stormwater management to a low priority. To address these challenges, we\npropose a five-pillar implementation framework centred on climate-responsive design\nprotocols, advanced economic valuation of co-benefits, adaptive governance, long-term\nmonitoring, and context-sensitive community engagement. This review provides actionable,\nevidence-based guidance for integrating VGS as resilient, equitable, and multifunctional\ncomponents of sustainable urban water management, tailored not to global templates, but\nto local environmental and socio-institutional realities.","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 uses advanced geospatial analysis techniques to assess the environmental and economic vulnerabilities of 12,703 CAFOs across Iowa, United States. We focused on the exposure of CAFOS to 100-year and 500-year floodplains, integrating floodplain maps with location data operational characteristics, and livestock types (cattle, swine, poultry) to assess flood risk. The analysis also considered the size and construction year of each CAFO, offering insights into how older and larger operations are disproportionately vulnerable. The results indicate that over 1.9 million animal units (13.35% of total), are located within the 100-year floodplain. In the 500-year flood floodplain, it increases to 2.05 million animal units, representing 14.37% of the state’s total. Sioux, Lyon, and Hancock counties were identified as particularly high-risk, with over 16% of animal units in Sioux County exposed to 100-year flood risks, rising to 17.4% under the 500-year floodplain. The study reveals that larger CAFOs, particularly those constructed before 2004, are at greater risk due to their location in flood-prone areas and the challenges posed by their operational scale. These risks not only threaten livestock but also have far-reaching economic consequences, including significant operational disruptions, infrastructure damage, and cascading effects on supply chains and market stability. As extreme weather events become more frequent due to climate change, these findings highlight the need for heightened awareness of CAFO vulnerabilities and call for further research into adaptive strategies to protect Iowa’s agricultural sector.","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\").

Against this general human-induced warming trend, understanding the\ncirculation patterns that drive such heat extremes is crucial. Weather-regime (WR) approaches\nhave been widely used to characterise large-scale circulation variability; however, conventional\nclassifications are not optimised to identify the dynamical drivers of extremes. Here we apply a\nnovel targeted machine learning-based approach, the regression mixture-model variational\nautoencoder (RMM-VAE), to characterise summer weather regimes relevant for Western European\ntemperatures. We compare its performance against the standard, non-targeted k-means approach\nand find RMM-VAE to yield dynamically coherent regimes while being more informative of\n(extreme) temperatures in the target region.\nOur analysis identifies a southerly-flow regime that accounts for the vast majority of heatwave\ndays, while k-means disperses them across multiple regimes. Moreover, the seasonal frequency of\nthis impact-relevant regime, combined with global mean temperature, explains a large fraction of\ninterannual variability in both mean (R² = 0.84) and extreme summer temperatures (90th\npercentile; R² = 0.65), with predictive skill persisting out-of-sample tests. Finally, this simple\nregression model allows us to attribute 34% of total summer warming in Western Europe and\nabout 70% of the observed “excess” warming (relative to the global mean) to an observed increase\nin the identified southerly flow circulation patter, which we quantify to be largely forced.\nOur results demonstrate that targeted weather regime approaches can sharpen the link between\ncirculation and surface extremes, offering attribution of regional warming. Furthermore, the\nidentified regimes provide interpretable predictors with potential for improving seasonal forecasts\nand climate risk assessments.","license":{"name":"CC BY Attribution 4.0 International","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

This study introduces a machine learning framework capable of forecasting the onset of moderate coral heat stress at site-specific resolution on Florida’s Coral Reef. Leveraging the XGBoost algorithm, the data-driven prediction system forecasts whether heat stress will occur in a given season and, if so, the week in which moderate stress will begin. The prediction system achieves skillful forecasts up to six weeks in advance with a mean absolute error of approximately ±1 week. Two baselines are defined to compare performance– a multiple logistic regression model and a frequency-based model that predicts onset using the most common onset week, with the number of predicted onsets matched to the historical onset rate through random sampling. At the three reef sites analyzed, the machine learning model outperforms both baseline approaches in overall performance, including accuracy in predicting the timing of heat stress onset. Our approach uses the explainable AI technique, SHAP, to identify the most influential predictors across reef sites, lead times, and onset occurrence. Surface air temperature consistently ranked as a top predictor, while other key variables varied by location and lead time, underscoring the importance of localized analysis for drivers of heat stress onset. This framework provides an explainable tool for predictions on actionable timescales for anticipatory conservation with insight into stress onset at specific reefs, potentially allowing managers to develop reef-specific monitoring for emergency actions.

Here we demonstrate an approach for predicting future summertime temperature extremes on decadal timescales by first identifying an abrupt jump in average summertime temperature as a covariate of extreme summertime temperatures, and then showing that these jumps can be predictable. We train a convolutional neural network (CNN) on historical and future global climate simulations to predict a confidence that future five-year mean summertime temperatures will jump above a hot threshold given maps of recent sea surface temperature variability and the global warming level. We show that in most land regions, the CNN outperforms a classifier that relies solely on the forced temperature response, implying that information about the prior 10-year SST variability improves the CNN's prediction skill and confidence. We input the observational record into the CNN as independent unseen data and observe some skill, with investigation revealing that this skill is driven by the CNN learning conditions that best suppress summertime temperature jumps. Our study emphasizes the importance of targeted methodology for diagnosing extreme event predictability, and demonstrates that future predictions of extremes can be improved by considering the prior 10-year SST variability, rather than just the forced response to global warming.

These CIS rely on high-quality climate and weather data in order to predict and prepare for specific extreme weather or climate events such as droughts and floods. Within the health sector, most CIS have been developed to prevent and treat specific infectious diseases or food insecurity; however less is known on how CIS have been used for nutrition programming. We conducted a scoping review of available evidence, on the use of CIS to implement nutrition interventions (both direct and indirect health and other sectors) ahead of extreme weather or climate events. We searched PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus, and grey literature sources for primary studies (observational, intervention, and program evaluations) conducted in low- and middle-income countries from January 1, 2000 to April 1, 2024. We included 48 studies, representing 67 country-level programs. The majority of programs were found in the African region (n=38), followed by Region of the Americas (n=9), Western Pacific Region (n=8), Eastern Mediterranean Region (n=1), and the European Region (n=1). Most CIS were developed in response to vector-borne diseases (17 countries), droughts (10 countries), floods (9 countries) or multi-hazards (11 countries). The types of nutrition programs deployed were largely outside of the health sector including poverty alleviation (n=49 programs), water, sanitation and hygiene (n=24 programs), disease prevention (n=23 programs) or emergency nutrition (n=19 programs). Few studies evaluated impacts of CIS on nutritional status in vulnerable populations. There is urgency and opportunity for better integration of weather and climate information into health systems decision-making and workforce preparedness at local levels to improve both short- and long-term nutrition outcomes.","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\").

Growing treatment volumes and more stringent water quality standards are expected to increase the amount of energy needed to treat wastewater, but accurately estimating energy consumption and potential remains challenging due to variability in scale, treatment methods, and effluent standards. In this study, we used publicly available data to evaluate the accuracy of methods for estimating energy consumption, then quantified uncertainty based on key factors like flow rate, treatment level, and geographic location. To validate methods, we estimated energy consumption at the facility-level, then compared estimates to self-reported data from utilities in major U.S. cities. We found that methods based on effluent treatment level and flow rate performed well for estimating electricity consumption, and process models of treatment trains were accurate relative to other methods for estimating total energy consumption. Applying the evaluated methods to a national inventory of treatment facilities, we estimate that annual energy consumption ranged from 50,900 to 77,100 TJ in 2012 and will increase to between 81,100 and 123,000 TJ in 2042. By quantifying the variability of existing estimation methods and highlighting their advantages and disadvantages, this work enables more data-driven water-energy management in the future.","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":"wastewater"},{"word":"electricity"},{"word":"energy recovery"},{"word":"energy"}],"date_submitted":"2025-08-22T21:01:35.210000Z","date_accepted":"2025-08-23T13:12:27.291000Z","date_published":"2025-08-23T13:12:00Z","doi":"https://doi.org/10.1088/3033-4942/ae2e35","preprint_doi":"10.31223/X56F2H","authors":[{"pk":89917,"first_name":"Abigayle","middle_name":"Rose","last_name":"Hodson","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":4021,"first_name":"Sahar","middle_name":"Head","last_name":"El Abbadi","salutation":"Dr","orcid":null},{"pk":118709,"first_name":"Rania","middle_name":"","last_name":"Lachhab","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":118708,"first_name":"Xiatong","middle_name":"","last_name":"Li","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":118707,"first_name":"Zhiyong Jason","middle_name":"","last_name":"Ren","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":118706,"first_name":"Christopher","middle_name":"M","last_name":"Chini","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":89924,"first_name":"Jennifer","middle_name":"R.","last_name":"Stokes-Draut","salutation":"","orcid":null}],"subject":[{"name":"Engineering"}],"files":[{"original_filename":"full_preprint.pdf","mime_type":"application/pdf","download_url":"/repository/object/10008/download/18557/"}],"supplementary_files":[]},{"pk":9117,"title":"Modulation of tropical cyclogenesis on subseasonal-to-interannual timescales in the deep-learning climate emulator ACE2","abstract":"Deep-learning global climate emulators are providing a new lens to investigate tropical cyclogenesis (TC genesis). However, without explicitly enforcing known physics, it is necessary to assess whether TC genesis in these models is physical. To address this question, we use the Ai2 Climate Emulator version 2 (ACE2) trained on ERA5 reanalysis to investigate TC genesis and its relationship with the large-scale environment on subseasonal-to-interannual timescales. We run simulations with ACE2 using forcing fields from 2001 to 2010, which is outside of its training period. Compared to observations, the geographic distribution and annual cycle of TC genesis are reasonably represented in ACE2 across the globe. TC genesis in ACE2 generally occurs with favorable environmental conditions (high genesis potential index) on annual, interannual, and subseasonal timescales. On subseasonal timescales, ACE2 shows that the environmental conditions for TC genesis are affected by the occurrence of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) and convectively coupled equatorial waves (CCEWs), as in observations. With pronounced eastward propagation of the MJO and realistic simulation of precipitation and three-dimensional circulation anomalies in ACE2, a clear signal of MJO modulation of TC genesis is found in most basins. This study suggests that deep learning climate emulators may be a useful tool for understanding cyclogenesis in the current climate from subseasonal-to-interannual timescales, as well as their changes in altered climates.

Escalating heatwaves, intensifying monsoon floods, accelerating glacial retreat, chronic smog, and advancing desertification are not future projections for Pakistan: they are present, documented, and accumulating realities that claim lives, destroy crops, and destabilise livelihoods year after year. To assess community-level perceptions, lived impacts, and policy priorities, the PIEAS SAI Research Initiative administered a bilingual (English / Roman Urdu) structured survey instrument from 1 to 16 May 2026. A total of 1,149 valid, anonymised responses were obtained across all seven administrative regions: Punjab (37.5%), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (25.8%), Islamabad Capital Territory (21.1%), Sindh (7.0%), Azad Jammu and Kashmir (3.5%), Gilgit-Baltistan (2.3%), and Balochistan (2.7%). The sample comprised 852 general-public respondents and 297 domain professionals from engineering, natural sciences, and academia. Principal findings indicate that 90.6% of general-public respondents rated their climate-change awareness as Critical or Serious. Disruption to rainfall patterns ranked highest among six impact dimensions on a five-point Likert scale (mean = 3.91; SD = 1.1), followed by extreme heat-wave intensity (mean = 3.76; SD = 1.1) and agricultural stress (mean = 3.70; SD = 1.1). An aggregate 68.8% reported direct household or livelihood damage attributable to climate events. Afforestation and ecosystem restoration dominated government-priority preferences (65.1%), with water-resource management second (20.9%). This report documents the full survey findings, integrates triangulated secondary evidence for underrepresented regions, develops a thematic qualitative analysis, critically evaluates the limitations of community-preferred conventional solutions, and situates the survey evidence within the PIEAS SAI Research Initiative's broader scientific inquiry into Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) as a near-term, temporary geoengineering supplement — not replacement — to conventional emissions-reduction pathways","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\").

Confronted with such problems, we are often tempted to act fast by pulling together little bits and pieces from different fields and simply adding these to pre-existing models and frameworks. Seldom, though, do we pause long enough to look whether and for how long those larger structures we build can support reliable answers to our questions. In this Perspective, I critically discuss the current state of broad-scale, interdisciplinary coupled modeling of human-environment relationships, with a focus on the classical model virtues precision, generality, and realism. I focus on models used to address land-use-driven biodiversity change in the context of broader global-change and sustainability challenges, for which I draw examples mainly from agroeconomic land-use models and integrated assessment models – popular coupled modeling frameworks that are increasingly coupled further with ecological models. Specifically, I discuss i) how limitations in our models’ training data and underpinning theories translate into excessively uncertain predictions, ii) how coupling even highly general sub-models can lead to hardly generalizable representations of indirect human-environment relationships, and iii) how representing ever more processes decreases rather than increases realism due to greater average measurement bias, a problem further exacerbated as we add processes based on their relevance for our own systems of interest, rather than for the real-world systems’ dynamics. I also explore barriers to advancing scientific modeling virtues amid other, non-scientific motivations for interdisciplinary modeling (e.g., cultural, economic, normative). Finally, I offer suggestions to modelers and other actors in science, science administration, and science policy to help promote a transition to more reliable interdisciplinary coupled models that can remain powerful for addressing major sustainability challenges far beyond the next iteration of science-policy assessments.

Given its status as one of the world’s biodiversity hotspot, land cover monitoring for effective conservation strategies and sustainable development planning is essential. While early research relied on coarse or medium-resolution satellite imagery for limited temporal coverage, recent initiatives like MapBiomas Colombia have improved national-scale mapping capabilities. However, mapping the complex spectral-temporal patterns of heterogeneous tropical mountain environments benefits from advanced methods that can track long-term surface trends. This study presents comprehensive annual land cover maps for the Colombian Andes and Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta spanning 1997-2024, representing the longest and most detailed temporal analysis of this critical region to date. We employed the Continuous Change Detection and Classification (CCDC) algorithm applied to Landsat data, coupled with machine learning models trained on a custom dataset designed to address existing limitations in temporal depth and spatial detail. Our time series approach leverages spectral-temporal signatures to distinguish land cover types with similar spectral characteristics but distinct temporal behaviors, providing a unique method for monitoring forest dynamics, habitat changes, and anthropogenic impacts across the Colombian Andes.

In Greater Accra, Ghana, rapid urban expansion has produced a road network character-ised by strong spatial inequalities, with many neighbourhood roads remaining unpaved despite sur-rounding development. This study identifies and quantifies persistent road underdevelopment using a reproducible geospatial and machine learning framework integrating OpenStreetMap data with multi-temporal satellite imagery (Landsat-8, Sentinel-1, and Sentinel-2). Road segments were standardised and classified using Random Forest, XGBoost, and LightGBM with spatial cross-validation. Results show that Sentinel-2 combined with LightGBM performed best, achieving a balanced accuracy of about 0.80 and an MCC of about 0.58. Change detection revealed that ap-proximately 11,030.9 km of roads remained persistently unpaved between 2018 and 2024, repre-senting 27.20% of the total road network. Within the urban core, 2,092 km of persistently unpaved roads were identified, compared with 1,593 km of roads upgraded from unpaved to paved. Persistent unpaved roads were spatially clustered, with 14 blind spots identified across 17 districts, covering about 566.9 km². Blind spot areas exhibited significantly higher built-up intensity than non-blind areas, supported by Mann–Whitney (p < 0.001), Welch t-test (p < 0.05), and a large effect size (Cliff’s δ = 0.6211). Moran’s I (0.0803, p = 0.001) confirmed significant spatial clustering. Overall, persistent road underdevelopment is spatially structured and associated with uneven urban devel-opment.","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":"Road Surface Classification"},{"word":"Persistent Infrastructure Underdevelopment"},{"word":"Geospatial Machine Learning"},{"word":"Spatial Clustering."}],"date_submitted":"2026-04-30T20:29:31.143879Z","date_accepted":"2026-04-30T23:55:30.839337Z","date_published":"2026-04-30T23:55:00Z","doi":null,"preprint_doi":"10.31223/X5FZ1G","authors":[{"pk":136299,"first_name":"Desmond","middle_name":"","last_name":"Kemeh","salutation":"Mr","orcid":"0009-0007-3775-6476"},{"pk":136300,"first_name":"Yuri","middle_name":"","last_name":"Ribakov","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":136301,"first_name":"Israel","middle_name":"","last_name":"Klein","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":136303,"first_name":"Achituv","middle_name":"","last_name":"Cohen","salutation":"","orcid":null}],"subject":[{"name":"Engineering"},{"name":"Physical Sciences and Mathematics"}],"files":[{"original_filename":"Desmond Kemeh_Article.pdf","mime_type":"application/pdf","download_url":"/repository/object/12854/download/22820/"}],"supplementary_files":[]},{"pk":13068,"title":"Polygonal peatlands and treed plateau bog in Northwest Hudson Bay Lowlands, Canada: Holocene development and permafrost dynamics","abstract":"Since the retreat of the Laurentide Ice Sheet, peatland development in the Hudson Bay Lowlands (HBL) has been mainly influenced by postglacial isostatic rebound and climate. We studied the timing of permafrost aggradation and the successional trajectories of low Arctic and subarctic polygonal peatlands and a boreal plateau bog in Wapusk National Park (WNP), in northwestern HBL. We also explored the timing of peatland initiation and long-term carbon accumulation between peatland types. Peatland initiation in WNP dates to at least 6000 cal BP, and peat thickness and carbon mass were higher in permafrost peat plateaus (mean: 71.7±21.4 (SE) kg C m-2) and intermediate-centred polygons (63.2±7.14 kg C m-2) than in non-permafrost fens (20.4 ±1.75 kg C m-2). In the boreal plateau bog, permafrost may have been present ~2585–1755 cal BP, while the most recent phase of permafrost aggradation likely occurred at the onset of the Little Ice Age (LIA). In the low Arctic and subarctic polygonal peatlands, permafrost likely developed ~1500–1050 cal BP, during the Dark Ages Cold Period (DACP), suggested by rapid declines in peat and carbon accumulation. In three subarctic sites, dry polygons were preceded by treed Sphagnum bogs with Picea mariana and P. glauca, until spruce disappeared ~1330–780 cal BP. These results suggest that in the subarctic HBL, polygons formed in Sphagnum-dominated plateaus after spruce disappeared, during the DACP or at the onset of LIA. In the low Arctic site, dry intermediate-centred polygons formed ~200 cal BP, but the exact successional pathway remained uncertain.

Measurements of environmental MP fragments or fibers typically target variable size spans within the formal 1 to 5000 µm range, due to different sampling and detection techniques, and are therefore not directly comparable. In addition, the majority of measurements by microscopy techniques are number based, whereas life cycle analysis, numerical models for MP dispersion and policy evaluation, and plastic additive exposure estimates are mass based. Data analysis frameworks, based on measured MP particle number size distribution (PSD), have been developed to align and extrapolate measurements to a common MP size range (e.g. 1-5000 or 1-300 µm), which in turn allows direct data-data and data-model inter-comparison. In this study we present the MPsizeBase, a database of published MP number concentrations and PSD in the environment, including land, ocean and atmosphere. MPsizeBase uses the power law to fit observed cumulative MP number PSDs, and extrapolate and align observations over a common size range of choice. Assuming MP shape and volume approximations, MPsizeBase also estimates size-aligned MP mass concentrations. We illustrate how the MPsizeBase can be used for inter-comparison studies, and end with recommendations on MP size, shape, and PSD reporting, including length, width and surface area. We invite scientists to contribute old and new data to MPsizeBase for additional environmental compartments, including soils, sediment and biota.

While the existing baseline model provides high-resolution national coverage and is suitable for screening purposes, its accuracy remains insufficient for local groundwater management applications. The proposed method integrates new groundwater observations into the existing training dataset and retrains the baseline model to enhance local fidelity while preserving large-scale consistency. The approach is demonstrated for a 212 km² case study area using 100 synthetic groundwater observations. Cross-validation results show consistent improvements in mean error, mean absolute error, and root mean squared error compared to the baseline model, particularly when increased weights are assigned to new observations. The refined models produce improved precision in areas with new observations while maintaining baseline behaviour elsewhere, demonstrating its suitability for combining national datasets with local monitoring networks for improved decision support in climate adaptation, nature conservation and other applications.

To provide a detailed analysis of climate regions and climatic changes occurring at a sub-regional scale during the 1961-2020 period, we exploited an updated regionalization of the European Alps that benefits from EEAR-Clim, a new observational daily dataset permitting a robust analysis of local-scale climate features. The regionalization of the European Alps identifies five sub-regions exhibiting distinct climate features: North-West, North-East, South-West, Central-South, South \\& South-East (S\\&SE). The analysis of average climate conditions highlighted Central-South and S\\&SE as the sub-regions experiencing the warmest temperatures and the highest monthly precipitation totals, mostly in spring and autumn, though characterized by a pronounced variability among stations. Conversely, colder temperatures and moderate yet frequent precipitations occurs in northern Alps. Trends of air temperature and precipitation over these sub-regions highlights uneven warming in the Alpine region. North-East, South-West and S\\&SE were identified as the fastest warming sub-regions, with increases over 1961-2020 reaching +2.0°C for minimum temperature, +2.8°C (SW) and +2.4°C (NE and S\\&SE) for maximum temperature, respectively. Despite the high spatial and temporal variability of precipitation over the European Alps, the S\\&SE sub-region exhibits drying conditions in spring and summer compared to the other regions. Trends in extreme precipitation are more statistically significant compared to changes in mean values, resulting in an increased frequency since 1961 of very extreme rainfall events, mostly in the southern Alps (+18 days). The new regionalization of the European Alps presented here is expected to support a range of climate related applications including impact studies. Moreover, it demonstrates the importance of considering variations in both average climate conditions and ongoing trends across different parts of the Alps, helping to identify areas most vulnerable to the effects of 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\").

A Systematic Benchmark Across Geometry, Computation and Relational Joins","abstract":"As geospatial datasets exceed the billion-row threshold, Discrete Global Grid Systems (DGGS) promise to replace expensive vector spatial joins with fast relational hash-joins on discrete cell identifiers. However, the real-world performance of different grid implementations and the upfront cost of converting vector geometries into grid indexes remains largely unquantified. This paper introduces dggs-bench, an opensource benchmarking framework that standardizes spatial operations across disparate grid libraries, and demonstrates it by evaluating four DGGS (H3, S2, rHEALPix, ISEA4H) and two legacy planar grids (XYZ Tiles, Geohash) across geometric fidelity, topological resilience, computational throughput, and relational performance experiments. Pre-computed DGGS equi-joins universally outperform ST_Intersects baselines by 13×–457×, with all grids completing ten-million-point joins in under 200 ms on a consumer workstation. On-the-fly polygon covering is not competitive at macro scales for any grid, though break-even query thresholds drop dramatically at coarser resolutions while maintaining ≥ 99% spatial accuracy. ISEA4H achieves competitive join performance and strict equal-area compliance but incurs covering costs up to 154× higher than H3, exposing a tooling maturity gap rather than a geometric limitation. Across all experiments, computational performance rank runs in partial reverse of geometric correctness. The benchmarking framework and all experimental data are openly available.","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\").

Land-sea interactions at low lying coastal areas that are often dominated by peatlands, and are a common feature along the Baltic Sea coast, are not well understood. The core hypothesis of Baltic TRANSCOAST is that the shallow sea and the terrestrial peatland have a mutual impact on each other with far-reaching consequences for water and energy fluxes, matter cycling and the biota. The interdisciplinary research focuses on the significance of flooding frequency and duration on biogeochemical processes by concentrating the investigations on three comparison sites.

However, no existing global dataset resolves this typology at high spatial resolution. We present the Forest Typology (ForTy) v1 dataset, a global 10-meter resolution map for 2020 that classifies all land into six categories aligned with FAO and EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) definitions: Primary Forest, Naturally Regenerating Forest, Planted Forest, Plantation Forest, Tree Crops and Agroforestry, and Other Land. A cascaded deep learning pipeline, trained on 1.7 million globally distributed samples, generates per-class probability maps from geospatial satellite embeddings by combining weakly supervised learning with active learning. Independent validation against 8,190 stratified random sites, each labeled by two experts, yields an overall accuracy of 90.2% for the six-class scheme, 94.8% for natural forest classification, and 95.5% for forest/non-forest classification.

Emergency response operates on timescales of hours, whereas societal adaptation unfolds over decades.

We argue that artificial intelligence should be developed not only as a domain-specific tool, but as an integration layer linking fragmented physical, social and institutional systems. This Perspective outlines a blueprint for Integrated Climate Intelligence built on three pillars: fairness, which prioritizes vulnerability alongside data availability; speed, which reduces the latency between assessment and action; and robustness, which quantifies uncertainty under extrapolation and high-stakes decision-making.

Here we document such a response during an exceptional rainfall episode in early 2026 that affected a confined karst aquifer in southern Spain. Seismicity displays a coherent spatio-temporal evolution within the aquifer, from localized nucleation to distributed activation and outward migration, consistent with diffusion-driven pressure propagation through a connected fracture network. Stress modelling indicates that modest pore-pressure perturbations of ~0.4–0.7 MPa, comparable to decades of tectonic loading in the region, are sufficient to trigger slip on optimally oriented faults. In addition to this dominant shallow seismicity, a subsidiary population of deeper earthquakes occurs within the underlying basement, exhibiting a systematic delay of ~4 days relative to shallow events. The delayed occurrence of basement seismicity is consistent with stress transfer from hydrologically driven shallow activity, indicating mechanical coupling between the two depth domains. These results demonstrate that confined karst systems can act as transient stress modulators, controlling the timing and spatial organization of seismicity. As the frequency of extreme hydrological events increases, such systems may play a broader role in regulating shallow earthquake activity in tectonically active regions.","license":{"name":"CC BY Attribution 4.0 International","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Yet, existing coupling models differ widely in methodology and inputs, lack common community standards, and are scattered across publications and repositories. Here, we introduce the “Coupling Cloud” (https://couplingcloud.ucsd.edu), an open, extensible, community-driven platform that curates, standardizes, documents, and disseminates more than 96 kinematic coupling models from 55 publications across 21 subduction margins. The platform provides interactive 2D and 3D plate-interface viewers to inspect coupling models together with associated information such as slab geometry, uncertainty estimates and metadata. All datasets can be downloaded directly in standardized formats: surface-projected coupling values as NetCDF, plate-interface dislocation geometries as VTU, and model metadata as YAML files. We demonstrate the advantages of centralized and standardized coupling data through a Cascadia subduction zone example, where synthesizing eight full-margin models reveals along-strike patterns that are not apparent when models are examined individually. Consolidating coupling models within a coherent, version-controlled framework enables systematic cross-margin comparison and FAIR-compliant data sharing, opening the door to more comprehensive assessment of megathrust mechanics.

the impact of Colombian public land acquisitions on forest cover in the Andes","abstract":"Public land acquisitions (PLAs) are a promising conservation instrument, combining the permanence of protected areas with the voluntary, compensatory structure of payments for ecosystem services, yet causal evidence on their effectiveness remains limited. Colombia’s Article 111 mandate, which requires departments to allocate 1% of revenue to land acquisition for watershed protection, has produced one of the world’s largest and longest-running PLA programs, enabling rigorous evaluation. We estimate the impact of 2,512 PLAs in the Colombian Andes on parcel-level forest cover from 2001 to 2021 using covariate matching and staggered difference-in-differences. PLAs have a statistically significant, time-accumulating effect on forest cover, increasing from 0.16 percentage points after one year of protection to 2.53 percentage points after 15 years. Effects are driven primarily by forest regrowth rather than avoided deforestation, consistent with program targeting and active reforestation on acquired parcels. Benchmarking against the literature, estimated effect sizes fall within the range reported for protected areas and payments for ecosystem services. These results indicate that PLAs can generate measurable conservation gains even when implemented in relatively low-threat landscapes. Crucially, impacts emerge slowly and accumulate over time, implying that evaluations based on short post-treatment windows will systematically underestimate their effectiveness.

Most economic mineralisation is associated with orthomagmatic Ni-Cu-Au-PGE systems, where chalcophile elements are concentrated within sulphide minerals in mafic-ultramafic layered intrusions or conduit systems. Irish and Northern Irish centres have been identified among the most prospective European PGE targets and have been subject to exploration since the 1960s, largely focused on Paleogene intrusions. This study reviews the geological framework, exploration history and prospectivity of PGE mineralisation in Ireland and Northern Ireland, synthesising published data and exploration records. Historic exploration has failed to identify deposits of economic scale, likely because mineralisation is highly localised and controlled by magma system architecture, with country rock contacts and fault-controlled dyke geometries influencing sulphide saturation and accumulation. Although Ireland does not host mineralisation comparable in scale to existing world-class deposits, such systems are unlikely to occur anywhere in Europe. In this context, mineralisation of the type proposed in Ireland may represent a realistic model for future European supply, while providing a natural laboratory for understanding tectonomagmatically controlled mineralising processes at local scales.","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\").

TC frequency increases along the Southeastern U.S. and declines along the Gulf under both SSPs. Greater TC frequency is not projected in the highest-warming scenario (SSP5-8.5) than in the lowest-warming scenario (SSP1-2.6) in the North Atlantic basin, even though it is in the global mean. These patterns remain broadly consistent over the 21st century, with stronger changes under higher-emission scenarios. The response appears driven primarily by El Niño-like shifts in the tropical Pacific mean state that influence Atlantic potential intensity and vertical wind shear. These results suggest that regional TC activity is more sensitive to the pattern of surface warming than to its global mean, and highlight the importance of the tropical Pacific in particular.","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":"tropical cyclones"},{"word":"cmip6"},{"word":"climate risk"}],"date_submitted":"2026-05-21T15:06:12.844242Z","date_accepted":"2026-05-22T07:54:36.029158Z","date_published":"2026-05-22T07:54:00Z","doi":null,"preprint_doi":"10.31223/X5DF5H","authors":[{"pk":137884,"first_name":"Ratnaksha","middle_name":"","last_name":"Lele","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":47942,"first_name":"Adam","middle_name":"H.","last_name":"Sobel","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":137886,"first_name":"Chia-Ying","middle_name":"","last_name":"Lee","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":137885,"first_name":"Suzana","middle_name":"","last_name":"Camargo","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":137888,"first_name":"Patrick","middle_name":"","last_name":"Kelly","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":137887,"first_name":"Ted","middle_name":"","last_name":"Amdur","salutation":"","orcid":null},{"pk":137889,"first_name":"Radovan","middle_name":"","last_name":"Drinka","salutation":"","orcid":null}],"subject":[{"name":"Physical Sciences and Mathematics"}],"files":[{"original_filename":"article_file.pdf","mime_type":"application/pdf","download_url":"/repository/object/13129/download/23250/"},{"original_filename":"si_file.pdf","mime_type":"application/pdf","download_url":"/repository/object/13129/download/23251/"},{"original_filename":"article_file.pdf","mime_type":"application/pdf","download_url":"/repository/object/13129/download/23252/"}],"supplementary_files":[]},{"pk":12899,"title":"Sustained Decline of Annual Snow Cover Area in the Sikkim Himalaya (1987–2025): Multi-Sensor Remote Sensing on Google Earth Engine, Machine Learning, and Projections to 2100","abstract":"Snow cover is a critical component of the Himalayan cryosphere, providing freshwater to millions of people across South Asia and regulating regional climate through albedo feedbacks. Sikkim, a small but ecologically significant state in the Eastern Himalaya, has experienced accelerating glacial retreat and mounting hydrological stress in recent decades. This study presents a comprehensive, multi-decadal analysis of annual snow cover area (SCA) in Sikkim from 1987 to 2025, utilising cloud-masked, cloud-free median composites derived from Landsat 5, Landsat 8, and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery processed on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) cloud computing platform. The Normalised Difference Snow Index (NDSI) threshold of 0.1 was applied uniformly across all sensors and years to map annual SCA at 30-metre spatial resolution. After quality-controlled exclusion of five years with zero valid satellite acquisitions (1984–1986, 2002, and 2012), a final time series of 37 annual observations was analysed. Results reveal a statistically significant and robust long-term decline in SCA (Mann–Kendall z = −4.49, p < 0.001; Sen’s slope = −17.62 km²/year), representing an estimated cumulative loss of approximately 669 km² over the study period. Decadal mean SCA declined monotonically from 1537.75 ± 342.55 km² in the 1990s to 923.22 ± 166.44 km² in the 2020s, a 40% reduction. Six machine learning and statistical models were evaluated via Leave-One-Out Cross-Validation (LOOCV): Support Vector Regression (SVR) achieved the best performance (RMSE = 237.19 km², R² = 39.4%). An inverse-RMSE weighted ensemble of LM, GAM, and SVR projects a continued decline to approximately −256 km² by 2100 under the central scenario (95% PI: −1194 to +937 km²), implying functional disappearance of annual snow cover before the end of the century under business-as-usual warming. These findings provide a quantitative, long-term baseline for cryospheric change in the Eastern Himalaya, with direct relevance to water resource planning, hydrological impact assessment, and climate adaptation policy for the Teesta Basin and downstream communities.","license":{"name":"CC BY Attribution 4.0 International","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Although VIIRS routinely tracks global flaring activity through nighttime observations, its coarse spatial resolution limits the ability to attribute flares to specific facilities or operators. Here, we present flare detection and quantification using high spatial resolution imaging spectrometers. We demonstrate that NASA’s Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT) is capable of detecting flares at individual flare stacks with a probability of detection (POD) comparable to that of VIIRS. We further attribute the detected flare stacks in the Permian Basin during 2023 to individual operators and evaluate EMIT’s potential to estimate annual flared gas volumes at the operator level. We find good correspondence between the EMIT observed radiant heat values and reported annual flared gas volume on the operator level. Despite limited temporal sampling relative to VIIRS, EMIT achieves accuracy comparable to VIIRS-based annual flaring estimates, while providing operator level attribution. This highlights the value of high-resolution imaging spectrometers in regulatory and mitigation efforts by adding insights at the operator level that can complement existing VIIRS observations, enabling more comprehensive flare monitoring and analysis.","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\").

Unlike conventional approaches that either require propagation of full normal matrices or rely on empirical assumptions regarding temporal and spatial correlations, the dataset combines ensemble statistics from independently processed Level-2 solutions to quantify uncertainties associated with ocean tide models, parametrisation strategies, and Atmosphere and Ocean De-aliasing products. Post-processing uncertainties related to filtering effects and Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) model variability are quantified using a known-pair approach and an ensemble of 56 GIA models, respectively. Uncertainty fields are provided for multiple anisotropic filtering strategies (DDK2--DDK7), enabling assessment of filtering strength, leakage effects, and processing-choice impacts on total uncertainty. In addition to the standard Level-2/3 configuration, the ancillary TUD-L3-EWH\\_UNC\\_noSLR-GRACE product, in which low-degree coefficients ($C_{2,0}$ and $C_{3,0}$) are not replaced by Satellite Laser Ranging estimates, allows users to isolate uncertainties associated with low-degree coefficient treatment. TUD-L3-EWH\\_UNC is the first Level-3 EWH dataset to provide end-to-end gridded uncertainty fields, supporting applications in hydrology, glaciology, solid-Earth, and oceanographic studies. Ancillary tidal corrections and climatological fits are distributed separately through the TUD-L3-EWH\\_CLIM-GRACE product suite.

Twenty assessments at eighteen Indo-Pacific sites using two-track methodology establish the governing principle: CPAdry returns meaningful skill only where the forcing mode imposes locally active inhibition — independent of coupling magnitude. At MJO direct-passage sites, diagnostic skill is strong and rising with lead time; at all passive sites, it collapses to chance, with the highest-coupled passive site — Colombo — serving as the central falsifying case. Across the ENSO/IOD arm, four active-mechanism sites spanning warm-pool displacement, Walker relay, thermocline-tilt, and extratropical Rossby wave pathways confirm the same bifurcation with high to moderate skill. Three cross-timescale synthesis findings emerge. First, MJO phase state does not condition ENSO/IOD skill (p = 0.94): ENSO and IOD establish the suppressive umbrella; MJO contributions are absorbed by the accumulation window. Second, a three-layer conditional suppression structure at Colombo reveals that NegIOD alone produces −11.6% suppressive anomaly, while NegIOD combined with active MJO produces −28.4% — neither crosses the −25% threshold alone. Third, this conditional suppressibility is unique to Colombo across the entire non-active network. The coupling-magnitude proxy is replaced by a sign-discriminated suppressive anomaly criterion that correctly classifies all twenty assessments without skill computation.","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\").

As an expression of uniformitarianism, this law underpins interpretations of Earth’s history, yet it has not been quantitatively tested. We test this law and examine its limitations by quantifying multidecadal changes in environmental heterogeneity (1945-2019) in the Bahamas and extrapolating them to millennial timescales using forward modelling. Virtual stratigraphic successions predicted by Walther’s law contain substantially greater heterogeneity than observed in sediment cores. This discrepancy arises because small and short-lived environment patches undergo rapid turnover and fail to accumulate sufficient sediment for preservation. Our work establishes a quantitative framework for defining preservation thresholds and demonstrates that stratigraphy functions as a low-pass filter on environmental variability, selectively preserving low spatial- and temporal-frequency environmental signals. These findings fundamentally constrain how environmental change can be reconstructed from the sedimentary record.","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\").

It is based on a workshop organised within the IRD’s CoSav Migrations network, which brought together researchers seeking to better understand how environmental and climatic changes drive, constrain and interact with human migration and (im)mobilities. \n This article emerges at a particular moment: a third generation of researchers now works in this field, sharing a growing recognition that environmental migration and (im)mobilities cannot be reduced to simple causal chains. Understanding migration complexity requires approaches that are conceptually grounded, methodologically diverse, and capable of engaging with uncertainty, multi-causality, and scale interactions. \nThis work arises from a collaborative, interdisciplinary process that brings together researchers from various backgrounds in social and environmental sciences. This diversity necessitated ongoing dialogue to clarify the underlying epistemologies, temporalities, scales and analytical priorities of concepts still under development. Instead of suggesting a single unified framework, the article describes an evolving field in the making, rooted in empirical realities and shaped by ongoing discussions. In doing so, it emphasises the importance of conceptual reflexivity, methodological diversity, and collaborative knowledge production to address a research object that remains unstable and context-dependent.\nThe article is organised around four interconnected dimensions of this complexity. Chapter 2 investigates environmental hazards, highlighting their compound, non-linear, and multi-scalar characteristics. Chapter 3 focuses on livelihoods, understood as socially and historically rooted practices that shape migration and staying strategies. Chapter 4 presents habitability as an inclusive concept that reflects the relational and political processes through which environments become differently liveable. Finally, Chapter 5 addresses methodological challenges, presenting complex adaptive systems as a comprehensive framework alongside agent-based modelling and the ongoing limitations of data and scale.\nTaken together, these contributions highlight an evolving field characterised by conceptual plurality, methodological diversity and the need for deeper dialogue across disciplines and knowledge systems. It calls for research that is more reflexive, integrative and attentive to power relations, local knowledge and cross-scale dynamics in order to better understand the present and future of migration and (im)mobilities in contexts of environmental change.\n","license":{"name":"CC BY Attribution 4.0 International","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Meteorological analysis revealed that extreme precipitation was exacerbated by the Madden‐JulianOscillation and jet stream dynamics. However, alternative narratives proliferated on social media, particularlyclaims that India deliberately released water from upstream dams. This study synthesizes hydrometeorologicaldata and social media analysis to examine the divergence between scientific evidence and social narratives.Despite hydrometeorological explanations, misinformation attributing floods to intentional dam releases gainedtraction because it aligned with existing sentiments in Bangladesh. While these narratives did not appear tomaterially impact disaster response in 2024, similar patterns elsewhere demonstrate the potential harm.Effective flood management requires aligning scientific data with narratives that motivate collective action. Weargue that both India and Bangladesh face mutual vulnerabilities that give misinformation its power but can alsofacilitate cooperation. Drawing on the water diplomacy literature, we propose a pilot flood early warninginitiative on the Feni and Gomati rivers, combining data sharing with community‐based outreach throughlocally trusted individuals and institutions, as a practical first step toward strengthening transboundary floodpreparedness, countering divisive misinformation, and achieving a flood‐resilient system.

Phosphorus is treated as the primary limiting nutrient for harmful algal blooms in the watershed, and Spectacle Pond is the largest direct phosphorus source to Mashapaug Pond and the lower pond cascade. In February 2026, the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management issued a permit requiring 65–68 percent stormwater phosphorus reductions from regulated parcels but did not address legacy phosphorus from industrial sources. Tongue Pond, the uppermost kettle pond, received Narragansett/Falstaff brewery effluent from 1890–1981 and once discharged to Spectacle Pond through a constructed outlet. To evaluate whether brewery-derived phosphorus remains a plausible management concern, I estimate phosphorus delivered to, exported from, and retained in or near Tongue Pond during brewery operations. Using 1974 EPA water-quality data and a 1976 federal discharge permit application, I developed a literature-based input model, outlet-constrained export model, and mass-balance retention estimate to partition phosphorus loads. An estimated 281,000–1,405,000 kg P was delivered to Tongue Pond, with a best estimate of 54,000 kg P reaching Spectacle Pond via Tongue Pond outflow. This model yields inferred legacy residuals of 227,000–1,351,000 kg P in or near Tongue Pond, with a central estimate of 643,000 kg P. Sediment cores, porewater profiles, groundwater transects, storm-event flow monitoring, and benthic-flux measurements are needed before managers can determine whether stormwater controls alone are sufficient or whether legacy reservoirs require targeted intervention.","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, estimates of such emissions are uncertain and depend on the modeling approach used. Process-based modeling of wetland emissions incorporates scientific knowledge of the underlying biogeochemical process, but prediction accuracy is insufficient. Machine learning models have the potential to improve emissions estimates; however, they often struggle to generalize to new prediction sites. We explore combined process-based machine learning strategies for estimating wetland emissions globally. One such strategy, cross-domain model stacking — using the output from a process-based surrogate model as an additional input to a second neural network trained on real data — improved reducing prediction error by 2.1%, while other transfer learning methods did not improve performance. In addition, we find that learning features from MODIS satellite images local to each measurement site served as a valuable input to the neural network, improving performance by 3.7%. Finally, we estimate global-scale emissions using a new, hybrid approach: conditional model selection dependent on local environment. The hybrid approach resulted in a global emissions estimate of 180.9 teragrams of methane per year, which is larger than either of the individual models, although the global sum was strongly affected by the inundation map. Last, integrating process-based information with machine learning improved alignment with established trend and seasonal behaviors while maintaining or enhancing agreement with independent machine learning-based global estimates.

We show that much of this error is not random but reflects a stable, site-specific response that can be learned from model output and observations. We develop a time-invariant response operator combining linear memory and bilinear interactions to approximate unresolved shallow-water dynamics. In idealized experiments, the operator recovers overtide generation, tide–surge interaction, and fluvial coupling. The approach yields substantial improvements across regional and operational models of water level and currents, and the correction substantially reduces errors in coarse-resolution simulations, yielding skill comparable to higher-resolution models. Applied globally to a GTSM reanalysis, it reduces a 0.14 m negative bias in 100-year return levels to 0.02 m across 199 GESLA4 gauges, with mean absolute error reductions of 48%, 26%, and 20% for 10-, 50-, and 100-year return periods. These results show that a significant component of coastal model error, including extremes, stems from tidal processes and is locally learnable, offering a practical way to improve skill without modifying underlying models or increasing computational cost.","license":{"name":"CC BY Attribution 4.0 International","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Recent 3D deep-learning models perform strongly in forests, but their transfer beyond closed-canopy benchmarks is limited by scarce labelled 3D data and forest-centred architectural assumptions.\nWe present a modular 2D-to-3D label-transfer workflow that projects high-resolution UAS multispectral labels into co-registered LiDAR point clouds, generating height-plausible and object consistent volumetric supervision without manual point-cloud annotation. Using this supervision, we evaluated zero-shot transfer, few-shot fine-tuning, and training from scratch.\nForest-trained models declined from 85.2% mIoU in forest to 41.1% and 16.1% in medium- and low-density rangelands, while instance F1 dropped\nsharply. Curriculum fine-tuning produced the strongest rangeland performance, reaching 49.6% and 63.1% mIoU. Effective 3D rangeland mapping therefore requires scalable target-domain supervision and adaptation beyond forest-centred structural assumptions.","license":{"name":"CC BY Attribution 4.0 International","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License\r\n\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

We investigate this problem using coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical simulations with explicitly represented discrete fracture networks embedded in a poroelastic rock matrix. The study considers three fracture density levels (low, medium, and high), multiple realizations, and contrasting injection-temperature and pressure-gradient conditions. An isothermal reference configuration is used to help isolate the relative contributions of pressure and cooling. The results show a clear transition in the main control on slip. Fracture slip initiates mainly in response to pressure propagation, whereas long-term development of the cumulative seismic moment is sustained by cooling-related stress redistribution. Pressure perturbations spread rapidly through connected fracture clusters and define a broad early activation region, while cooling remains more localized within preferential flow corridors and becomes increasingly important for late-time moment accumulation. Higher fracture density increases both cumulative heat extraction and cumulative moment relative to low-density networks, but the two responses do not scale identically within the medium- and high-density networks. A small fraction of fractures carries a large share of the total moment, and the fractures with the largest moment contributions shift toward higher shear-to-normal stress states as cooling develops. Together, these findings explain why improved thermal performance does not correspond to a proportional increase in cumulative moment across fracture network realizations.","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, these systems frequently generate inconsistent representations of the same ecosystem due to differences in sensor sensitivity, ecological complexity, scale interactions, and recovery dynamics. This study conducted a natural language processing (NLP)-assisted structured thematic review to synthesize the dominant drivers, manifestations, and methodological responses associated with multidimensional inconsistency in forest ecosystem representation. A total of 500 publications were retrieved from the Dimensions database, of which 181 studies were retained following semantic relevance screening, thematic filtering, and manual verification.\nThematic synthesis showed that combined SAR and structural indicators dominated contemporary forest remote sensing literature, followed by ecosystem condition monitoring and multisensor fusion approaches. Ecological heterogeneity and terrain-related structural complexity emerged as the dominant drivers of inconsistency, accounting for 30.2% of all primary causes and occurring in 59.5% of all detected inconsistency pathways. Scale mismatch, sensor saturation, and benchmark instability also represented major sources of representational uncertainty. Biomass and carbon estimation uncertainty emerged as the most widespread manifestation, occurring in 94.0% of the reviewed studies. The review further demonstrated that spectral, structural, and functional ecosystem dimensions frequently become partially decoupled following disturbance, producing misleading representations such as spectrally recovered but structurally degraded “green deserts.” The study proposes a multidimensional inconsistency framework linking ecological, methodological, structural, and functional drivers of representational instability.\n","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 paper presents the Survey Management System, a free and open-source QGIS plugin connected to a PostgreSQL/PostGIS spatial database, which connects the AutoCAD drafting workflow already standard in Nigerian cadastral practice to a structured digital archive without requiring practitioners to change how plans are drawn. The system implements bearing-and-distance traverse computation conforming to the Nigerian Survey Regulations 1:5000 precision standard, role-based access control structured around the principal surveyor hierarchy, MD5 cryptographic document integrity verification, and automatic detection of boundary conflicts with neighbouring cadastral records. Its principal contribution to digital land administration adoption is an automated DXF import engine that reads beacon coordinates, boundary polylines, traverse annotations, and plan metadata directly from AutoCAD files, eliminating the manual data re-entry identified as the main barrier to digital uptake in private firms. The engine exploits the finding that the Boundary LWPOLYLINE in Nigerian AutoCAD survey plans encodes the correct traversal order in vertex sequence. Validation on production plans from a licensed firm in Imo State demonstrated sub-centimetre traverse closure accuracy (precision ratio 1:16,240 against a regulatory minimum of 1:5000) and complete metadata recovery. Record retrieval time fell from approximately 20 minutes to under 2 seconds; spatial proximity queries, previously impossible under the paper system, complete in under 5 seconds. The plugin is freely available with no commercial licensing requirement and exceeded 255 downloads across 20 countries within its first month of release.","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\").

Synthetic fracture networks characterized by power-law length exponent \\(a\\), fracture density \\(d\\), and percolation parameter \\(p\\) are constructed. Elastic wave propagation through these fracture networks is then simulated across a range of dimensionless specific stiffness values \\(\\tilde\\kappa\\). From 2560 Monte Carlo simulation runs, we extract two wave transport metrics: the inverse quality factor \\(Q^{-1}\\) and the normalized transmitted energy \\(E\\). Distance-based generalized sensitivity analysis in the \\((Q^{-1},E)\\) space reveals stiffness-dependent wave transport regimes (propagation, superdiffusion, normal diffusion, subdiffusion, and localization) and quantifies the contributions of parameters \\(a\\), \\(d\\), \\(p\\) and \\(\\tilde\\kappa\\) in each regime. A random forest surrogate for the mapping of \\((a,d,p,\\tilde\\kappa)\\mapsto(Q^{-1},E)\\) is then embedded in a Metropolis-Hastings scheme to perform Bayesian inversion of fracture network parameters. When the dimensionless stiffness \\(\\tilde\\kappa\\) is near 1, both \\(a\\) and \\(d\\) are reliably recovered, with posterior probabilities for the true values well above their uniform priors. For large \\(\\tilde\\kappa\\) (corresponding to the propagation and superdiffusion regimes), the fracture stiffness itself becomes highly identifiable, and complementary inversions in which \\(\\tilde\\kappa\\) is treated as unknown show that it can be robustly recovered from \\((Q^{-1},E)\\) in these regimes. For small \\(\\tilde\\kappa\\) (subdiffusion and localization regimes), multiple scattering prevails and all parameters become more weakly resolved. Our results demonstrate that wave attenuation and energy metrics can be used to jointly invert fracture stiffness and network geometry, provided that the inversion targets wavefield regimes where these parameters are most sensitive.","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\").

Performance evaluations are often limited to one dimension (e.g. quantification), while methodological opacity limits interpretation and inter-comparisons between technologies. Here, we develop a vehicle-based measurement system and processing framework incorporating a novel weighted likelihood algorithm for automated source attribution. Using controlled release experiments at two dedicated testing facilities, we characterize system performance across three dimensions – detection, attribution, and quantification. The system achieved a 96.1 % true positive detection rate with no false positives and a 90% detection limit as low as 0.024 kg/h with repeat transects. Attribution accuracy was high at the source-group level, reaching 99.7 % in single-source releases and 86 % in multi-source scenarios. Quantification was unbiased for low-to-moderate complexity releases (2 source groups; slope=0.99, R2=0.81) but overestimated under highly complex conditions (5 source groups; slope=1.45, R2=0.91). These results provide a transparent performance benchmark, demonstrating that these systems are well-suited to survey the large populations of low-to-moderate complexity sites (e.g. single wells and batteries), as a screening layer in LDAR applications and to quantify the low-end of emission distributions in inventories, reducing reliance on generic emission factors.

We analysed the 2002–2024 satellite, climate, and ground record across four governorates to test whether this irrigation buffer — the aquifer's capacity to absorb climate variability on behalf of the crop — is still intact or already degrading.
\nThe buffer is still largely effective: no satellite or climate covariate carries a learnable signal about interannual yield anomalies, and every model we tested performs worse than a naive trend baseline. But the resource sustaining that buffer is disappearing. GRACE/GRACE-FO terrestrial water storage has declined by 16.6 cm since 2002, with the aquifer approximately stable through the mid-2000s and then declining at roughly 1 cm per year. And in Kébili, the governorate with the most overexploited aquifer (229% of renewable resources), the buffer is already cracking: per-hectare yield has become progressively more sensitive to vapour pressure deficit over the study period (HAC-corrected p < 0.001), a signal that strengthens after area normalisation (Δ|r| = +0.444) and is robust to detrending method and placebo-feature tests, though it emerges from an exploratory scan and does not survive FDR correction in the full grid. Tozeur shows a similar pattern; Gafsa's signal is tentative.
\nIn these oases, satellite monitoring detected the onset of buffer degradation years before any decline appeared in the production record, suggesting that the primary value of earth observation in aquifer-dependent agriculture lies in tracking buffer integrity rather than predicting yields.

This study proposes a multi-dimensional framework to diagnose such inconsistencies by integrating scale, dimensional, and variable components within a unified analytical structure. Using Ekiti State, Nigeria as a heterogeneous tropical test landscape, scale inconsistency was assessed through comparison of CASA-derived and MODIS Net Primary Productivity (NPP), dimensional inconsistency through threshold-based validation of land use/land cover (LULC) against GEDI-derived canopy height (≥5 m and ≥10 m), and variable inconsistency through non-proportional changes between aboveground biomass (AGB) and canopy height model (CHM).\nResults indicate persistent scale-related discrepancies, with CASA systematically overestimating NPP relative to MODIS and exhibiting weak spatial correspondence (R² ≈ 0.03 in 2020 and 0.04 in 2025). Dimensional inconsistency was substantial (mean ≈ 0.41), reflecting systematic mismatch between spectral and structural representations of forest extent. In contrast, variable inconsistency was relatively low (mean VI = 0.18), indicating broadly proportional structural–carbon responses across most of the landscape, with localized divergence in disturbed and non-vegetated areas. Integration of these components yielded a Multi-Dimensional Inconsistency Index (MDII) of 0.26, indicating moderate overall inconsistency dominated by dimensional mismatch.\nThese findings demonstrate that inconsistencies in remote sensing-based ecosystem assessment are systematic and multi-faceted, arising from differences in spatial scale, data representation, and model structure, and highlight the importance of integrated frameworks for improving the reliability of ecosystem monitoring in complex landscapes.\n","license":{"name":"CC-BY Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International","short_name":"CC BY-NC 4.0","text":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Public License\r\nBy exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Public License (\"Public License\").

Practitioners working on dam-adjacent SWMM models typically generate a breach hydrograph in HEC-RAS, losing their SWMM network model in the process, or hand-construct a boundary condition in spreadsheets and paste it into the .inp file. Although Wahl (2004) demonstrated that empirical breach parameter regressions carry standard errors of estimate of approximately 0.10-0.40 in log10 units on breach-geometry parameters - propagating through the broad-crested-weir relationship to factor-of-two to factor-of-four multiplicative uncertainty on peak discharge - and recommended Monte Carlo simulation as the appropriate response, breach analyses in engineering practice continue to report a single deterministic peak. We present swmm-breach, an MIT-licensed Python package providing end-to-end probabilistic dam-breach hydrograph forecasting for EPA SWMM and PCSWMM. The package implements the Froehlich (1995, 2008) regressions with Wahl-style log-normal residual sampling and multi-model ensemble averaging, level-pool routing through a developing trapezoidal weir, and binary .inp/.out integration. Validation against three historical or independently-modeled cases spanning more than three orders of magnitude in reservoir volume (Anson lagoon 7.9 x 10^4 m^3, Lawn Lake 8.0 x 10^5 m^3, Teton Dam 3.1 x 10^8 m^3) shows that the probabilistic 5-95 percentile envelope brackets the reference peak in every case, while the deterministic single-model point estimate misses the observed Teton peak by approximately 80%.","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 comprehensive review reflects the insights into the complex dynamics of small landholding (SLs) in India by leveraging earth observation (EO) based sensing technology through synthesizing existing literature, methodologies and outcomes, and technological advancements along with its challenges and limitations. This study aims to summarize the current state-of-the problems, management, and utilization of EO technology for mapping, monitoring, and parametric assessment of small-scale agricultural land holdings in India. The review also discussed about different sensing platforms, and how to utilize their varied spectrums for identifying and characterizing SLs at different geographies of India. India, with its deeply rooted agricultural tradition dating back thousands of years, has agriculture as the primary occupation for a significant portion of its 1.4 billion population. However, a significant issue in Indian agriculture is the fragmentation of croplands into small landholdings, which results in the division of agricultural land into smaller and often uneconomical parcels. Therefore, accurate delineation and EO based sensing of SLs in India is highly necessary for precise monitoring of crop health, soil conditions, and water usage and many more, which can significantly improve productivity on small, uneconomical parcels of land to boost nations food security. The Authors believe with the efficient intervention of EO based sensing technology in SLs, farmers can make more informed decisions and maximize their yields by making more effective use of their resources. Furthermore, Earth observation can help prevent crop losses and improve food security in a nation where a large portion of the population is dependent on agriculture by helping with the early detection of pests and diseases. Our study will support the decision-making process and policy formulation in Indian agriculture system by providing comprehensive insights from EO-based sensing perspectives. Finally, this will help to create more productive and sustainable farming methods, which will be advantageous to both farmers and the national economy.

Using observed CO₂-driven warming relationships and globally available population vulnerability data, we estimate that continued business-as-usual emissions would impose very large, geographically concentrated mortality burdens this century, with risks escalating nonlinearly beyond 2 °C. While uncertainty remains substantial, especially for undernourishment and conflict pathways, the direction and scale of risk are robust, providing a broad exploratory framework for approximating climate-related mortality. Expressing mortality per Mt CO₂-e allows the metric to be applied across all greenhouse gases and policy contexts. The resulting estimates should be interpreted as scenario-based approximations contingent on the assumptions and historical relationships used in the model. The results imply that treating climate change primarily as an economic externality understates its consequences, and that precautionary policy assessment should explicitly account for human lives at risk or saved due to decarbonization.

It does not presuppose that warming Mars is desirable; its purposeis to identify what would need to be true for Mars to be warmed, what it would cost, and whatcould go wrong. Three complementary research tracks appear promising. Solid-stategreenhouse membranes offer local warming, aiding water harvesting, food production, andoxygen supply near human bases. Orbiting reflectors can warm key sites such as bases andCO2-ice reservoirs, although a large combined area would be required. Strengthening Mars’natural greenhouse effect might warm large regions or the globe, although many aspectsremain to be worked out. Each approach carries scientific and technical risks that researchmust address. Near-term priorities are on-Earth testing of key parameters that will determinewhether engineered aerosol warming is realistically possible, assessing whether exponentialproduction of bioplastic habitats is possible, and designing at-Mars process experiments. Inthe near term, the research proposed here is closely aligned with and supports research neededto understand Mars’ atmosphere and volatile evolution and hazards to human explorers. Themain external uncertainty is whether or not launch costs continue to fall. This is early-stageresearch, and we discuss key near-term decision points, alternative pathways, and payoffs ifresearch outcomes are negative. We also outline build-out pathways if research succeeds anddemand exists. Relatively modest research investments would keep open the option ofextending life beyond Earth as Mars’ scientific exploration continues.","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 terrain's theoretical water yield, set by Arabian Sea moisture flux and ridge geometry alone, far exceeds what Pakistan currently captures. We show that a single atmospheric variable, the lifting condensation level (LCL), controls how much of this terrain potential is realized, that the LCL is currently held above the lower ridges by a deficient surface humidity flux, and that the deficit is empirically documented across multiple independent datasets.\n\nUsing ERA5 reanalysis (1980-2024), mean June daily-maximum LCL over the Indus Plains is 2,727 ± 786 m, exceeding the Salt Range (1,520 m) and Margalla Hills (1,600 m) on 94.7% and 93.0% of pre-monsoon days. The MERRA-2 reanalysis confirms the bypass independently (99.0% June Salt Range bypass over 2015-2024), and 1,641 IGRA v2 radiosondes show ERA5 reproduces surface temperature to within -0.26 °C and surface dewpoint within -5.98 °C of station observations across three near-domain sites. The mechanism, ridges aerodynamically transparent because the LCL is too high, is supported by GLDAS-2.1 evapotranspiration data: the Indus Plains return 0.87 mm/day in June versus 3.80 mm/day at comparable-elevation NE India, a 4.4-fold deficit between two regions sharing the same monsoon supply. NASA GPM IMERG half-hourly precipitation (2005-2025) shows June mountain-to-plains ratios of 1.43-2.63x across the Indus-KPK corridors versus 1.26-1.56x in peak monsoon; plains precipitation is 28.8% from intensities >10 mm/hr versus 18.9% over the mountains, the convective spillover signature predicted when the lower ridges fail to extract distributed orographic rainfall. Hansen GFC, ESA WorldCover, and ESA CCI Land Cover converge on <0.5% Indus Plains tree cover, and GRACE records a -12.83 cm/decade trend in Punjab terrestrial water storage 2002-2025 (p ≈ 10^-97). The bypass mechanism is robust to seven methodological perturbations (range 92.3%-97.6% June bypass) and to the choice of LCL formulation (Bolton 1980 versus the exact Romps 2017 closed form, agreement within 1.3 percentage points).\n\nLowering the surface T-Td depression through vegetation evapotranspiration and soil water retention, pathways operating on years-to-decades and years-to-multi-decadal timescales respectively, reactivates the lower ladder stages, with ~1,000 m of LCL reduction achievab","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\").

As long as the risk of nuclear war exists, so too will the catastrophic risk of a nuclear winter. Much of the modeling and research that exists on nuclear winter relies on several outdated assumptions or has been altered to elicit a specific political response, thus exaggerating or downplaying the severity. The nuclear field often conflates the ‘politically irrelevant’ with the ‘scientifically resolved.’ When certain questions fall out of political relevance, the field most often stops investigating them and considers them solved. Over time, the nuclear field has become more narrowly focused on preventing nuclear war, and because of this, the field has largely failed to more rigorously re-examine and update the scientific foundations of our understanding of how a nuclear winter occurs and behaves. This report interrogates current nuclear winter models, relevant literature, and prevalent scientific research to more clearly identify and understand the assumptions and uncertainties that underpin the field’s understanding of nuclear winter. The broader goal is to identify assumptions in the literature and evaluate how strongly each assumption is supported. In identifying these assumptions and uncertainties throughout the different phases of the nuclear winter mechanism chain, we both replicated methodologies from past models and developed new methodologies and conclusions to determine the validity of the assumptions themselves. Informed by this research, we developed a more comprehensive research agenda on where the field’s understanding of nuclear winter falls flat, and how more recent and multidisciplinary research can bolster analysis more broadly.

Predicting which trees will survive is essential for guiding species selection and management interventions. This study develops an explainable machine learning framework that integrates long term empirical forestry data with climate projections, functional traits, and management practices to predict survival probability for drought resistant trees. We trained and compared multiple models, including Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Random Forest, and survival analysis methods, using data from 12,000 individually monitored trees in arid and semi arid Kenya. XGBoost achieved the highest predictive performance (accuracy 98.5%, F1 score 0.99). Explainable AI techniques (SHAP, LIME) revealed that species identity is the dominant predictor of survival, with root depth, genetic drought score, and mulching as key modulators. Critically, survival depends on species specific trait combinations rather than single trait optima. The Cox proportional hazards model identified tree age, elevation, irrigation, and fertilization as significant drivers of mortality risk (p < 0.05). This framework provides an interpretable, forward looking tool for guiding species selection and targeted interventions, thereby enhancing reforestation viability in drought prone landscapes. The approach is generalizable to other regions and supports evidence based climate adaptation in forest ecosystems worldwide.","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\").

As drought, insect outbreaks, pathogens, and climate extremes intensify tree mortality worldwide, scalable methods are needed to detect and map standing dead trees consistently across forest landscapes. Recent advances in high-resolution remote sensing and computer-vision-based deep learning, including object detection, semantic segmentation, instance segmentation, and transformer-based models, are making large-scale standing dead-tree detection increasingly feasible. This review synthesizes 38 studies from 2019 to 2026 that apply deep learning to optical and LiDAR data acquired from UAV-borne, airborne, satellite, and multi-sensor remote sensing platforms for standing dead-tree detection and mapping. We identify five major advances: 1) object-detection models have become central for identifying dead trees, especially where mortality is spatially scattered and dead trees occur at low density, with transformer-based frameworks emerging as a promising development; 2) U-Net derivatives and hybrid or ensemble models are widely used for segmentation in dense canopies; 3) multi-sensor fusion can improve detection robustness, particularly where spectral and structural cues are complementary; 4) transfer learning and domain adaptation are important for scaling across regions, although cross-biome generalization remains limited by differences in forest structure, dead-tree appearance, and sensor characteristics; and 5) model comparability is constrained by inconsistent annotations, varying definitions of standing dead trees, and the lack of standardized benchmark datasets. Despite substantial progress, operational deployment remains limited by canopy occlusion, class imbalance, annotation variability, and uncertain transferability. By linking ecological monitoring needs with recent methodological advances, this review outlines a pathway toward scalable, transferable, and benchmarked deep-learning systems for standing dead-tree monitoring, supported by standardized datasets, domain-invariant and self-supervised learning, and open databases such as deadtrees.earth.

Norway shares responsibility for SDG- based sustainable development with local authorities (municipalities and counties). The Planning and Building Act’s purpose clause stipulates that it shall promote sustainable development for the benefit of individuals, society and future generations. Municipal responsibility for sustainable development, when incorporated into planning processes, is complex and requires including diverse knowledge holders. Focusing on spatial planning as an instrument for sustainable transformation, this study examined citizen participation practices at the municipal level in the Norwegian Arctic. I conducted semi-structured interviews with 75 residents with very diverse backgrounds. Using inductive thematic analysis, I coded forms of citizen participation, their characteristics, and their links with sustainability and transformation. I further analyzed the forms using Arnstein’s ladder of citizen participation and Fung’s cube of democracy. I identified 10 forms of citizen participation in planning processes. Only two of these give citizens the opportunity to influence decisions, but only in matters that are less relevant to sustainability. A link to sustainability and transformation is prominent in all forms. Citizens emphasize the importance of focusing on climate adaptation, nature conservation, and local values. Local authorities see green industry, power plants, and the economy as fundamental. Lay citizens, some politicians, and some planners believe these are destructive to local sustainability values, which are strongly linked to the importance of nature in people's lives. Overall, the current practice of participation in planning processes in my sample of municipalities in the Norwegian Arctic lacks genuine cooperation, fails to incorporate local knowledge, and hardly leads to citizens' influence. Citizens’ priorities thus don’t affect the decisions that are made. This hinders local engagement in planning processes, utilization of local knowledge, and achievement of the SDGs.

Geophysical data and inversion product are essential to map many components of the critical mineral system by detecting geophysical anomalies that can be interpreted by expert geologists. However, the inversion of airborne geophysical data acquired along flightlines into subsurface petrophysical properties remains an outstanding challenge. Many inversion techniques rely either on 1D deterministic inversion or on stochastic inversion on a local scale. The outcome of our work is the stochastic inversion along flightlines of 2D panels (flightline direction vs depth), while at the same time producing plausible spatial variation of the petrophysical properties. Our method relies on a sequential application of Bayesian inversion, where we invert a sequence of 2D panels such that the variation of petrophysical properties avoid generation of artifacts across the panel boundaries. We show that our method can be used in a practical setting in the context of mineral exploration in the Cape Smith Belt of Canada.","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\").

Temporal variations in slip rate have been attributed to earthquake clustering and anti-clustering in tectonically active settings. Here we explore the combined temporal and spatial assessment of slip rate variations of individual faults and the network they form part of. We present slip rates derived from a seismically imaged, presently-inactive fault network, from offshore NW Australia. This region underwent extension from the Upper Triassic (209.5 Ma) to Early Cretaceous (137.3 Ma) related to continental breakup, and it represents a low strain region as the maximum slip rates are <0.1 mm/yr. We show spatial and temporal slip rate variations across million-year time scales for individual faults within a network of across-strike faults. Slip rate profiles also differed through time, with the location of maximum slip rate on individual faults migrating along-strike by several kilometres between time periods (over 106 to 107 million years). We then calculate the resulting temporal variations in earthquake occurrence arising from the changes in slip rates. We show that within a fault network, whilst overall the earthquake recurrence rates over the entire fault system remain similar, recurrence rates on individual faults vary on the million-year timescales we study. Spatial and temporal variability of slip rate can introduce uncertainty in earthquake probability calculations, highlighting the need to incorporate this into probabilistic seismic hazard assessments.

Yet, the climatology and meteorological drivers of dust events in the region are poorly characterized due to sparse monitoring and limitations of satellite observations. Using meteorological observations from 15 meteorological stations, we systematically catalog and analyze dust events across the Central Valley during 2005-2024, leveraging a hybrid approach that combines observer-reported dust codes with meteorological criteria that capture events missed by manual reporting. We identified 707 dust events, averaging ~35 events per year with a significant increase over the past two decades. These dust events are generally short-lived (≤1 h), occur mainly in the afternoon hours (14:00-18:00 local time), and are most frequent in the southern San Joaquin Valley between September and November. Self-organizing map analysis during the September-November peak dust season reveals four dominant synoptic-scale configurations driving dust events, characterized by anomalously strong surface winds, low relative humidity, and amplified mid-tropospheric troughs. Specifically, positively tilted troughs with northwesterly along valley surface winds produced widespread dust events during abnormally dry conditions, while negatively tilted troughs are associated with convective-driven fronts. Our results provide a robust foundation for improving dust forecasting and public health interventions in the agriculturally intensive Central Valley.

fertile, and unusually persistent soil associated with long term Indigenous land use in the Amazon Basin.
Prior research has established the importance of charcoal derived black carbon, nutrient enrichment,
stable organic matter, and high nutrient holding capacity in explaining many of its distinctive properties
(Glaser et al., 2001; Lehmann et al., 2003). This manuscript does not claim those foundational
observations as novel.
This article advances a narrower falsifiable hypothesis: Terra Preta persistence may be better investigated
as a possible path dependent emergent ecological state rather than as a substrate reproducible by
compositional replication alone.
Under this framework, black carbon is treated as necessary infrastructure, but not as the whole system.
Terra Preta like persistence may depend on long term interactions among aged carbon, minerals, organic
inputs, ceramic fragments, microbial succession, spatial heterogeneity, disturbance regimes, Indigenous
land use, and time. Such interactions could generate attractor like dynamics characterized by resistance,
hysteresis, basin thresholds, assembly dependence, and persistence following management withdrawal.
This is not presented as demonstrated multistability. It is an operational hypothesis. It generates testable
predictions. Reproducible creation of self sustaining Terra Preta like fertility within decadal timescales
through compositional manipulation alone would substantially weaken or refute the framework.
