Six events are likely to be due to planets with Einstein radius crossing times t E < 0.5 days, and the shortest has t E = 0.057 ± 0.016 days and an angular Einstein radius of θ E = 0.90 ± 0.14 μ as. We measure the detection efficiency depending on both t E and θ E with image-level simulations for …

Low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites enable complex Earth observation tasks ( e.g., remote sensing and cooperative monitoring) by leveraging large-scale satellite-generated Earth imageries and state-of-the-art machine learning (ML) techniques. However, due to restricted downlink bandwidth and spotty connectivity, it is infeasible for the satellites to transmit all the imageries to ground stations for ML model training. To address this issue, we use federated learning (FL) to mitigate the signific…

Deltas play a critical role in the ambition to achieve global sustainable development given their relatively large shares in population and productive croplands, as well as their precarious low-lying position between upstream river basin development and rising seas. The large pressures on these systems risk undermining the persistence of delta societies, economies, and ecosystems. We analyse possible future development in 49 deltas around the globe under the Shared Socio-economic and Represen…

in sludge. Mass balance analysis showed an increase in the identified PFAS compounds in the effluent compared to the influent (from 0.9% - 1.3% to 3.6% - 6.1%), suggesting biotransformation of non-targeted PFAS precursor compounds. In conclusion, wastewater treatment plants transform some PFAS, and wastewater effluent is a source of PFAS contamination in surface water.
Nontarget Identification of Novel Organophosphorus Flame Retardants and Plasticizers in Rainfall Runoffs and Agricultural Soils around a Plastic Recycling Industrial Park

Accurate bathymetric mapping is critical for island reef research, coastal ecosystem monitoring, and nearshore engineering. Increasing amounts of remote sensing data have promoted the development of optical bathymetric remote sensing. However, large-scale and efficient bathymetric mapping of shallow oceanic islands is difficult due to the limited availability of high-quality optical remote sensing images. In this study, we propose a cost-efficient method for bathymetric mapping based on a qua…

Combined sewer overflows (CSOs) can have a severe negative, local impact on surface water systems. To assure good ecological surface water quality and drinking water production that meets the demands, the impact of sewer system overflows on the surrounding water bodies for current and future climate conditions needs to be assessed. Typically, integrated, detailed hydrological and hydrodynamic water quantity and quality models are used for this purpose, but often data and computational resourc…
