Matched topics: climate change

Dengue is expanding globally, but how dengue emergence is shaped locally by interactions between climatic and socio-environmental factors is not well understood. Here, we investigate the drivers of dengue incidence and emergence in Vietnam, through analysing 23 years of district-level case data spanning a period of significant socioeconomic change (1998-2020). We show that urban infrastructure factors (sanitation, water supply, long-term urban growth) predict local spatial patterns of dengue …

Plant hydraulics is crucial for assessing the plants’ capacity to extract and transport water from the soil up to their aerial organs. Along with their capacity to exchange water between plant compartments and regulate evaporation, hydraulic properties determine plant water relations, water status and susceptibility to pathogen attacks. Consequently, any variation in the hydraulic characteristics of plants is likely to significantly impact various mechanisms and processes related to plant gro…

Abstract. The difficulties in using conventional mitigation techniques to maintain global-mean temperatures well below 2 ∘C compared with pre-industrial levels have been well documented, leading to so-called “climate intervention” or “geoengineering” research whereby the planetary albedo is increased to counterbalance global warming and ameliorate some impacts of climate change. In the scientific literature, the most prominent climate intervention proposal is that of stratospheric aerosol inj…

Matched topics: reservoir

Significance We show that vertically grown bismuth nanosheets on a gas-diffusion layer can create numerous cavities as “electrolyte reservoirs,” which confine in situ–generated hydroxide and potassium ions and concurrently limit inward proton diffusion, thereby creating locally alkaline environments. The concept of electrolyte reservoir has been implemented in efficient CO2-to-HCOOH conversion in acidic media (pH ≤ 2) on sheet-like bismuth (Bi) catalyst, which enables HCOOH production at part…

Understanding the cost of soil erosion: An assessment of the sediment removal costs from the reservoirs of the European Union

Authors: Panos Panagos, Francis Matthews, Edouard Patault, Carlo De Michele, Emanuele Quaranta, Nejc Bezak et al.

Journal: Journal of Cleaner Production · DOI: 10.1016/j.jclepro.2023.140183 · Citations: 57

Matched topics: reservoir, hydropower

Soil erosion is both a major driver and consequence of land degradation with significant on-site and off-site costs which are critical to understand and quantify. One major cost of soil erosion originates from the sediments delivered to aquatic systems (e.g., rivers, lakes, and seas), which may generate a broad array of environmental and economic impacts. As part of the EU Soil Observatory (EUSO) working group on soil erosion, we provide a comprehensive assessment of the existing costs of sed…


Spatial distribution of heavy metals in the sediments of River Ganges, India: Occurrence, contamination, source identification, seasonal variations, mapping, and ecological risk evaluation

Authors: Abhijit Debnath, Prabhat Kumar Singh, Yogesh Chandra Sharma

Journal: Marine Pollution Bulletin · DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2023.115910 · Citations: 45

Matched topics: river, seasonal

Present study analyzed the seasonal and spatial distribution patterns, sources, and ecological risks of seven heavy metals (Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb) in the sediments of River Ganges, finding that the majority of concentrations were lithologic, except for Cd, which was significantly higher than background standards. Elevated values of geochemical indices viz. Igeo, CF, RI, Cd, mCd, HQ, mHQ, and PN suggest moderate to high ecological risk in the benthic environment and its organisms due t…


GNOS-II on Fengyun-3 Satellite Series: Exploration of Multi-GNSS Reflection Signals for Operational Applications

The Global Navigation Satellite System Occultation Sounder II (GNOS-II) payload onboard the Chinese Fengyun-3E (FY-3E) satellite is the world’s first operational spaceborne mission that can utilize reflected signals from multiple navigation systems for Earth remote sensing. The satellite was launched into an 836-km early-morning polar orbit on 5 July 2021. Different GNSS signals show different characteristics in the observations and thus require different calibration methods. With an average …

-hexane, and air, inducing distinct conformations that affect the degree of PANI conjugation and electron migration along the chains. This process is reversible and non-destructive to the polymer chain, ensuring the effective and uncompromised performance of the EMI shielding switch. We can achieve precise and reversible tuning (on/off) of EMI shielding with different effectiveness levels by manipulating the solvents within the framework. This work opens a new solvent-stimuli avenue for the d…

Abstract This study evaluates six precipitation reanalysis products for the Yellow River Basin using gridded rain gauge data, runoff data and the Atmospheric and Hydrological Modelling System (AHMS) simulations. The assessment begins with comparing the annual, seasonal, monthly and daily precipitation of the products with gridded rain gauge data. The AHMS is then run with each of the precipitation reanalysis products under two scenarios: one with calibrated rainfall-runoff and the other witho…

Towards robust seasonal streamflow forecasts in mountainous catchments: impact of calibration metric selection in hydrological modeling

Authors: Diego Araya, Pablo A. Mendoza, Eduardo Muñoz‐Castro, James McPhee

Journal: Hydrology and earth system sciences · DOI: 10.5194/hess-27-4385-2023 · Citations: 15

Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, runoff, streamflow, seasonal

Abstract. Dynamical (i.e., model-based) methods are widely used by forecasting centers to generate seasonal streamflow forecasts, building upon process-based hydrological models that require parameter specification (i.e., calibration). Here, we investigate the extent to which the choice of calibration objective function affects the quality of seasonal (spring–summer) streamflow hindcasts produced with the traditional ensemble streamflow prediction (ESP) method and explore connections between …
