Abstract. Compound drought and heatwave (CDHW) events can result in intensified damage to ecosystems, economies, and societies, especially on a warming planet. Although it has been reported that CDHW events in the winter season can also affect insects, birds, and the occurrence of wildfires, the literature generally focuses exclusively on the summer season. Moreover, the coarse temporal resolution of droughts as determined on a monthly scale may hamper the precise identification of the start …

This article reviews the literature on the economic impacts of disasters caused by extreme weather and climate events to draw lessons on how societies can better manage these risks. While evidence that richer, better-governed societies suffer less and recover faster from climate extremes suggests adaptation, knowledge gaps remain, and little is known about the efficiency of specific adaptation actions. I review various “no or low” regrets adaptation options that are recommended when uncertain…

The middle reaches of the Yellow River basin (MYRB) are among the regions most severely affected by soil erosion globally. It has always held a pivotal role in soil and water conservation and ecological restoration efforts in China. Nonetheless, in the face of recurrent drought occurrences and growing human intervention, there have been notable alterations in the eco-environmental quality (EEQ) within the MYRB. However, the influences of drought and human intervention on the EEQ of MYRB remai…

Remote sensing of mountain snow from space: status and recommendations
Authors: Simon Gascoin, Kari Luojus, Thomas Nägler, Hans Lievens, Mariano Masiokas, Tobias Jonas et al.
Journal: Frontiers in Earth Science · DOI: 10.3389/feart.2024.1381323 · Citations: 32
Matched topics: hydrology, streamflow, land surface model
The spatial and temporal variation of the seasonal snowpack in mountain regions is recognized as a clear knowledge gap for climate, ecology and water resources applications. Here, we identify three salient topics where recent developments in snow remote sensing and data assimilation can lead to significant progress: snow water equivalent, high resolution snow-covered area and long term snow cover observations including snow albedo. These topics can be addressed in the near future with institu…
Habitat quality on the edge of anthropogenic pressures: Predicting the impact of land use changes in the Brazilian Upper Paraguay river Basin
Authors: Mélanie Broquet, Felipe S. Campos, Pedro Cabral, João David
Journal: Journal of Cleaner Production · DOI: 10.1016/j.jclepro.2024.142546 · Citations: 36
Matched topics: river, earth system model
Landscape changes driven by anthropogenic activities often have negative impacts on ecosystems, jeopardizing the provision of vital services that sustain biotic elements and wildlife. Predicting the effects of such transformations is crucial for developing strategies to mitigate ecological damage. This study explores the interaction of land use changes and habitat quality estimates in the Upper Paraguay River Basin in Brazil, using the InVEST Habitat Quality model to estimate spatiotemporal l…
Reservoir stimulation for unconventional oil and gas resources: Recent advances and future perspectives

Matched topics: reservoir
The first Geo-Energy Frontier Forum with the theme of “opportunities and challenges for geo-energy exploration and development” was successfully held in Wuhan, recently. The forum included 32 sessions, mainly focused on four directions: geo-energy development and reserve, petroleum geophysical exploration, oil and gas geology, and field development engineering. This paper summarizes the key findings in the 22 nd session titled “Reservoir stimulation for unconventional oil and gas resources”. …

Dams trigger exponential population declines of migratory fish
Authors: Zhenli Huang, Haiying Li
Journal: Science Advances · DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adi6580 · Citations: 37
Matched topics: hydropower
. Despite 40 years of effort, these five fishes are on the verge of extinction. Here, we propose an analytical tool that includes a framework of fish migration taxonomy and six life cycle models, the concepts of invalid stock and the dam impact coefficient, and a simplified population model. We then clarify the migration patterns and life cycles of these fishes and show that the Yangtze dams have severely disrupted the life cycle integrity of these species, causing seven types of invalid stoc…

The Andes–Amazon–Atlantic pathway: A foundational hydroclimate system for social–ecological system sustainability
Authors: Claire Beveridge, Jhan Carlo Espinoza, Simone Athayde, Sandra Bibiana Correa, Thiago B. A. Couto, Sebastián Heilpern et al.
Journal: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences · DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2306229121 · Citations: 16
Matched topics: hydrology, runoff, streamflow, hydropower, earth system model
The Amazon River Basin’s extraordinary social-ecological system is sustained by various water phases, fluxes, and stores that are interconnected across the tropical Andes mountains, Amazon lowlands, and Atlantic Ocean. This “Andes-Amazon-Atlantic” (AAA) pathway is a complex hydroclimatic system linked by the regional water cycle through atmospheric circulation and continental hydrology. Here, we aim to articulate the AAA hydroclimate pathway as a foundational system for research, management, …
Global carbon balance of the forest: satellite-based L-VOD results over the last decade
Authors: Jean‐Pierre Wigneron, Philippe Ciais, Xiaojun Li, Martin Brandt, Josep G. Canadell, Feng Tian et al.
Journal: Frontiers in Remote Sensing · DOI: 10.3389/frsen.2024.1338618 · Citations: 35
Matched topics: hydrology
Monitoring forest carbon (C) stocks is essential to better assess their role in the global carbon balance, and to better model and predict long-term trends and inter-annual variability in atmospheric CO2 concentrations. On a national scale, national forest inventories (NFIs) can provide estimates of forest carbon stocks, but these estimates are only available in certain countries, are limited by time lags due to periodic revisits, and cannot provide spatially continuous mapping of forests. In…
Microplastic distribution and their abundance along rivers are determined by land uses and sediment granulometry
Authors: Fernanda Gonzalez-Saldias, Francesc Sabater, Joan Gomà
Journal: The Science of The Total Environment · DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.173165 · Citations: 32
Matched topics: river
Microplastics in freshwater ecosystems have gained attention for their potential impact on biodiversity. Rivers are complex and dynamic ecosystems that transport particles and organic matter from the headwaters through watersheds to the ocean. Changes in land use and the presence of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) increase the risk of plastic contamination. Simultaneously, hydromorphological features of the watershed can influence the dispersion and retention of microplastics. This study …
Integrating remote sensing, GIS-based, and AHP techniques to delineate groundwater potential zones in the Moulouya Basin, North-East Morocco

Abstract Groundwater is a valuable shared resource in the Moulouya Basin, but it has been in decline due to recent years of low rainfall and rapid population growth. To support socio-economic development, there is increased demand for this precious resource. This paper presents a standard methodology for delimiting potential groundwater zones using geographic information systems (GIS), an integrated analytical hierarchy process (AHP), and remote sensing techniques. Seven parameters that monit…
