Despite the importance of this feedback, its specifics remain poorly constrained, because representing permafrost dynamics still poses a significant challenge for Earth System Models (ESMs). This review assesses the current state of permafrost representation in land surface models (LSMs) used in ESMs and of…

Abstract We hypothesize and test how climate change (CC) impacts financial risks (FR) and the effectiveness of central banks’ green policies (CBGP) in mitigating these effects. Using data from 115 countries, our analysis reveals that climate change, particularly through events like wildfires and floods, significantly heightens FR. However, CBGP is found to moderate this relationship, reducing the adverse effects of CC on FR. Specifically, two components of CBGP—requirement policies and green …

Abstract Glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs) may originate from larger lakes as these continue to grow with ongoing glacier retreat; however, this perception remains poorly supported in available GLOF databases. Here we mapped the areas of 1,686 glacier lakes, just before they drained, across 13 glaciated mountain regions outside polar regions and examined the trends in pre-GLOF lake areas between 1990 and 2023. We found that pre-GLOF lake areas barely changed, or even decreased, regionally …

Abstract. The most useful weather prediction for the public is near the surface. The processes that are most relevant for near-surface weather prediction are also those that are most interactive and exhibit positive feedback or have key roles in energy partitioning. Land surface models (LSMs) consider these processes together with surface heterogeneity and, when coupled with an atmospheric model, provide boundary and initial conditions. They forecast water, carbon, and energy fluxes, which ar…

Reference conditions pertain to conditions without anthropogenic influence and serve to gauge the degree of river pollution and identify the best attainable water quality. Here we show estimates of the global human footprint of nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations and potential for related nuisance or harmful algal growth in rivers. We use statistical models based on 1.2 million stream nutrient measurements (from 2005 to 2013) and find global human enrichment of river total nitrogen and tot…

• Heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Pb, Zn) exhibited higher concentrations in soils than water, indicating strong adsorption. • Water samples showed significant dilution of contaminants compared to leachate and soil. • The study highlights the urgent need for enhanced e-waste management to mitigate heavy metal pollution. • Significant retention of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Pb, Zn) in landfill soils, exceeding global benchmark concentrations. • Selenium (Se) concentrations in landfill soils surpassed levels …
Filament-Induced Failure in Lithium-Reservoir-Free Solid-State Batteries

Matched topics: reservoir
Lithium-reservoir-free solid-state batteries can fail due to electrical shorting as a result of fracture and lithium metal filament formation. Mechanical stress at the solid electrolyte surface can induce fractures, which promote lithium filament growth. This stress arises from both electrochemical sources, due to lithium electrodeposition, and mechanical sources, such as external stack pressure. Solid electrolyte surface roughness and the applied stack pressure together affect stress develop…
Exploring the potential processes controlling changes in precipitation–runoff relationships in non-stationary environments

Abstract. The influence of climate change and anthropogenic activities on precipitation–runoff relationships (PRRs) has been widely discussed. Traditional models assuming stationary conditions can lead to inaccurate streamflow predictions. To address this issue, we propose a Driving index for changes in Precipitation–Runoff Relationships (DPRR), identified as key PRR influencers, involving climate forcing, groundwater, vegetation dynamics, and anthropogenic influences. According to the quanti…

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants with urban landscapes as major source areas of MPs and stormwater runoff as an important transport pathway to receiving aquatic environments. To better delineate the drivers of urban stormwater MP loads, we created a global dataset of stormwater MP concentrations extracted from 107 stormwater catchments (SWCs). Using this dataset, we trained and tested three optimized gradient boosting Machine Learning (ML) models. Twenty hydromete…
Assessment of pollution risks posed by trace elements in the riverbed sediment of the Ganges River in Eastern Uttar Pradesh, India

Matched topics: river
This research investigates trace elements in newly deposited riverbed sediment along a 225-km section of the Ganges River in eastern Uttar Pradesh, India. Samples were collected from 10 locations between Kanpur and Prayagraj, and were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The study focused on eight heavy metals: iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn). The pollution risk was assessed using four indicators: enric…
Diverse vegetation responses to solar farm installation are also driven by climate change

Solar farms play an integral role in the global energy transition and climate change mitigation. However, criticism has emerged, arguing that mitigating climate change cannot come at the expense of ecosystem degradation due to an ambiguous understanding of solar farms’ environmental impacts. Here we developed a harmonic regression model to conduct a nuanced global analysis of solar farms’ influences on vegetation. Results show that 52% of solar farms exhibited beneficial effects on vegetation…
Dynamical blockade of a reservoir for optimal performances of a quantum battery

Matched topics: reservoir
The development of fast and efficient quantum batteries is crucial for the prospects of quantum technologies. In the present paper we demonstrate that both requirements are accomplished in the paradigmatic model of a harmonic oscillator strongly coupled to a highly non-Markovian thermal reservoir. We show that at short times, a dynamical blockade of the reservoir prevents the leakage of energy towards its degrees of freedom, promoting a significant accumulation of energy in the battery with h…
