The Central African region hosts the largest continuous tract of forest in Africa, regulating global climate while providing essential resources and livelihoods for millions of people and harbouring extensive biodiversity. Extractive industries, infrastructure development and industrial agriculture have often been cited as major threats to these forests and are expected to increase. A regional collaborative effort has produced the first systematically validated remote sensing assessment of de…
An Overview of Coastline Extraction from Remote Sensing Data

Matched topics: land surface model
The coastal zone represents a unique interface between land and sea, and addressing the ecological crisis it faces is of global significance. One of the most fundamental and effective measures is to extract the coastline’s location on a large scale, dynamically, and accurately. Remote sensing technology has been widely employed in coastline extraction due to its temporal, spatial, and sensor diversity advantages. Substantial progress has been made in coastline extraction with diversifying dat…

BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT : The devastating impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) on human health globally has prompted extensive discussions on how to better prepare for and safeguard against the next pandemic. Zoonotic spillover of pathogens from animals to humans is recognized as the predominant cause of emerging infectious diseases and as the primary cause of recent pandemics. This spillover risk is increased by a range of factors (called drivers) that impact the nature, frequency, a…
To what extent does river routing matter in hydrological modeling?

Journal: Hydrology and earth system sciences · DOI: 10.5194/hess-27-3505-2023 · Citations: 22
Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, river, runoff, streamflow, land surface model
Abstract. Spatially distributed hydrology and land surface models are typically applied in combination with river routing schemes that convert instantaneous runoff into streamflow. Nevertheless, the development of such schemes has been somehow disconnected from hydrologic model calibration research, although both seek to achieve more realistic streamflow simulations. In this paper, we seek to bridge this gap to understand the extent to which the configuration of routing schemes affects hydrol…
The political economy of net-zero transitions: Policy drivers, barriers, and justice benefits to decarbonization in eight carbon-neutral countries

This study examines the political economy of decarbonization in eight countries over the period 2000 to 2021/2022 that have already achieved a national net-zero transition. These countries are Bhutan, Suriname, Panama, Guyana, Comoros, Gabon, Madagascar, and Niue. It utilizes an analytical method of a rich, interdisciplinary and systematized literature review integrated with thematic analysis. For each of these countries, the study examines the drivers and political motivation behind net-zero…
Climate-driven 21st century Caspian Sea level decline estimated from CMIP6 projections
Authors: Rohit Samant, Matthias Prange
Journal: Communications Earth & Environment · DOI: 10.1038/s43247-023-01017-8 · Citations: 36
Matched topics: hydrology, earth system model
Abstract Future Caspian Sea level change is estimated for the 21st century using 15 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6 climate models and three shared socioeconomic pathways. Projected evaporation increase is significantly larger than precipitation increase integrated over the Caspian Sea catchment basin, resulting in an increasingly negative water balance over the 21st century. A best-fit model analysis that resolves important model limitations related to spatial resolution, climate sen…
Recognizing Low-Inflow Estuaries as a Common Estuary Paradigm
Authors: John L. Largier
Journal: Estuaries and Coasts · DOI: 10.1007/s12237-023-01271-1 · Citations: 37
Matched topics: hydrology
Abstract It has become clear that estuaries with low rates of freshwater inflow are an important but overlooked sphere of estuarine science. Low-inflow estuaries (LIEs) represent a major class of estuary long downplayed because observations do not fit well in the dominant estuary paradigm, which was developed in perennially wet climates. Rather than being rare and unusual, it is now evident that LIEs are common globally and an alternate estuary paradigm within the idea of an estuary as the pl…
How Long Do Runoff‐Generated Debris‐Flow Hazards Persist After Wildfire?
Authors: Andrew Graber, Matthew A. Thomas, Jason W. Kean
Journal: Geophysical Research Letters · DOI: 10.1029/2023gl105101 · Citations: 31
Matched topics: hydrology, runoff
Abstract Runoff‐generated debris flows are a potentially destructive and deadly response to wildfire until sufficient vegetation and soil‐hydraulic recovery have reduced susceptibility to the hazard. Elevated debris‐flow susceptibility may persist for several years, but the controls on the timespan of the susceptible period are poorly understood. To evaluate the connection between vegetation recovery and debris‐flow occurrence, we calculated recovery for 25 fires in the western United States …

software. Results showed that the extension services significantly affected irrigated wheat yield with an average increase of 0.66 t/ha. Based on the results, out of the Marginal product value ($69 USD) of the extension services provided to the main farmers, 13.3% ($9 USD) had been spent as the cost of extension services and 86.7% ($60 USD) had been net profit gained by farmers. Farmers’ behaviors changed as a result of the AEMs with reduced input costs for growing the crop and increased prod…
