Background: Argentina is located at the southern temperate range of arboviral transmission by the mosquito Aedes aegypti and has experienced a rapid increase in disease transmission in recent years. Here we present findi...

Context and background  Rapid urbanization in Lagos metropolis, Nigeria, has led to significant changes in its urban climate, manifesting as Urban Heat Islands (UHIs). Goal and Objectives: This study assesses the...

Abstract The Alum Shale Formation of Baltica preserves one of the most continuous and fossil-rich records for the Cambrian Period. Thus, the Alum Shale is a key sedimentary archive for refining global chronostratigraphy,...

Recent studies of the Middle and Upper Paleolithic in the northwestern Caucasus are focused on the research of relations between natural (climate and environment) and social (behavior and adaptations) factors that govern...

Drought–flood abrupt alternation (DFAA) events, characterized by rapid transitions between drought and flood conditions, pose severe challenges to agricultural production, water resource management, and infrastructure ...

Abstract The Canary current upwelling System (CCS) is one the most productive marine ecosystems. CMIP5 simulations under the RCP8.5 scenario for the end of the 21st century project a modest upwelling‐favorable wind dec...

Abstract Model instability remains a core challenge for data‐driven parameterizations, especially those developed with supervised algorithms, and rigorous methods to address it are lacking. Here, by integrating machine...

Environmental factors such as air pollution, weather events, and ambient toxins are major contributors to human disease, with disproportionate impacts on vulnerable populations. In Puerto Rico, chronic exposure to air po...

Climate change has had crucial impacts on phenological stages, such as the advancement or decline of the vegetation cycle of stone fruit trees. Vegetation phenology is an important biological indicator in understanding a...

the Biotic Pump Theory, as set forward by Drs. Makarieva and Gorshkov, states that the primary force driving surface winds, certainly in the tropics, is induced by the negative changes in atmospheric pressure caused by c...

This book covers some of the key global dynamics of our age. It aspires to assist the non-specialized reader, as well as the specialized one, to understand the world we live in, the forces that affect our coexistence, th...

In a recent paper (Lüning et al., 2022; henceforth L22) we critically commented on an attribution study by Stuart-Smith et al. (2021; hencefort S21), pointing out a mismatch between numerical simulation and palaeoclimat...

Abstract The Early Permian witnessed the first icehouse‐to‐greenhouse turnover of the vegetated Earth, yet its climate dynamics remain enigmatic. Here, we used mercury (Hg) isotopes from pelagic and continental succe...

Abstract Food insecurity remains a major challenge in fragile and climate-exposed countries, especially where agricultural production depends on rainfall and economic systems are weak. Somalia faces this challenge acutel...

Climate change is exerting a significant influence on viticulture, leading to altered phenological stages, shifts in grape ripening, and major challenges for maintaining wine typicity. This study evaluates the long-term ...

Abstract Spawning underpins fish stock regeneration. Here, we investigate climate effects on spawning phenology in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), a severely exploited species whose stocks are now also affected by climate c...

The Antarctic Peninsula is one of the regions on the Earth with the clearest evidence of recent and fast air warming. This air temperature rise has caused massive glacier retreat leading to an increased influx of glacier...

In arid and semi-arid regions, irrigation demand across crop growth stages is highly sensitive to climatic variability, posing growing challenges for water management under climate change. This study investigates the spa...

The climatic variations observed in recent decades in Patagonia have affected the dynamics of the Andean forests. In this study, new and existing Austrocedrus chilensis chronologies were subjected to analysis in 28 sites...

In recent decades, escalating climate change, continuous population growth, rapid urbanization, and extensive agricultural development have placed increasing pressure on global ecosystems. Particularly in China, intensiv...

Rapid climatic changes and increasing human influence at high elevations around the world will have profound impacts on mountain biodiversity. However, forecasts from statistical models (e.g. species distribution models)...

IntroductionThe complex interplay between environmental dynamics, biodiversity loss, and public health necessitates advanced methodologies for quantifying and interpreting their interactions. Respiratory health, highly s...
