Environmental flows (Qeco) facilitate a good ecological status of fluvial ecosystems, but they usually represent a constraint for water uses. Qeco flow regime should not only be based on the minimum flows, but it should also account their variability. It is expected that climate change impact on some hydrological systems diminishing the natural water resources and stressing the river ecosystems. In this context, the balance between ecosystems conservation and human water needs becomes even mo…

Sediment transport (bedload and suspension) plays a relevant role in the morphological response of river channels to large floods. Sediment load controls erosion and aggradation patterns during high flows, drives the migration of macroforms and contributes to the definition of thresholds for bank erosion and channel instability. Given this influence on channel morphology, it is clear that sediment transport influences both the channel geometry and water stage reached during floods and should …

Abstract The Hunga Tonga‐Hunga Ha’apai (HTHH) volcanic eruption in January 2022 injected unprecedented amounts of water vapor (H 2 O) and a moderate amount of the aerosol precursor sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) into the Southern Hemisphere (SH) tropical stratosphere. The H 2 O and aerosol perturbations have persisted during 2022 and early 2023 and dispersed throughout the atmosphere. Observations show large‐scale SH stratospheric cooling, equatorward shift of the Antarctic polar vortex and slowing o…
Exploring the nexus between land cover change dynamics and spatial heterogeneity of demographic trajectories in rapidly growing ecosystems of south Asian cities

Rapid urbanization is a global trend that significantly alters Land Use and Land Cover Change (LULCC) patterns. Dhaka, a megacity, and Chittagong, the country’s second-largest city, have experienced substantial shifts in LULCC patterns over the past three decades. This study aims to examine the LULCC in Dhaka and Chittagong districts of Bangladesh from 1991 to 2021, focusing on identifying patterns and quantifying the effects of population growth and urbanization. Changes in LULCC patterns we…

Microplastics (MPs), recognized as an emerging global environmental concern, have been extensively detected worldwide, with specific attention directed towards the Yangtze River Estuary (YRE) and East China Sea (ECS) regions. Despite their critical research significance, there remains a knowledge gap concerning the distribution of MPs in the benthic layer within this area, particularly regarding interactions governing their occurrence. Here we illuminate the distribution of MPs within the ben…
Hourly rainfall-runoff modelling by combining the conceptual model with machine learning models in mostly karst Ljubljanica River catchment in Slovenia

Journal: Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment · DOI: 10.1007/s00477-023-02607-w · Citations: 22
Matched topics: hydrologic model, river, runoff, streamflow
Abstract Hydrological modelling, essential for water resources management, can be very complex in karst catchments with different climatic and geologic characteristics. In this study, three combined conceptual models incorporating the snow module with machine learning models were used for hourly rainfall-runoff modelling in the mostly karst Ljubljanica River catchment, Slovenia. Wavelet-based Extreme Learning Machine (WELM) and Wavelet-based Regression Tree (WRT) machine learning models were …

Assessing seasonal dynamics of land surface temperature (LST) and land use land cover (LULC) in Bhairab, Kishoreganj, Bangladesh: A geospatial analysis from 2008 to 2023
Authors: Joy Saha, Showmita Subrin Ria, Jakia Sultana, Urmi Akter Shima, Md Mahadi Hasan Seyam, Md. Mostafizur Rahman
Journal: Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering · DOI: 10.1016/j.cscee.2023.100560 · Citations: 35
Matched topics: seasonal
Changes in LULC triggered by urbanization lead to an increase in impermeable surface, which seriously deteriorates urban climatic conditions and thermal status (LST). Under this circumstance, we analyze the spatiotemporal deviation of LST and LULC from 2008 to 2023 by using remote sensing Landsat satellite images of Bhairab, Kishoreganj. Major findings are the highly increasing trend of settlement area (7%–23% in summer and 8.5%–19.0% in winter) and waterbody whereas the decreasing trend of a…
