Abstract River water quality forecasting on directed river networks requires jointly modeling temporal dynamics and directional spatial dependencies among monitoring sites. Existing spatio-temporal models often emphasize...

Bangladesh is highly susceptible to recurrent and devastating floods due to its geographic location. This research investigates the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in developing flood evacuation route...

The prediction of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) is of critical importance for the management of aquatic ecosystems, flood control, and erosion assessments. However, the continuous measurement of SSC is technical...

Downscaling is a critical step to bridge the gap between large-scale climate information and local-scale impact assessments. However, steep and complex mountainous terrain induces highly heterogeneous local-scale meteoro...

The Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS) is a promising flood-modelling tool available for most river basins worldwide. However, it contains inherent biases, notably linked to its spatial resolution. This study propose...

The identification of suitable models for predicting daily water flow is important for planning and management of water storage in reservoirs of Argentina. Long-term prediction of water flow is crucial for regulating res...

The EU's Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability aims to incorporate environmental risk of combined exposure, stemming from unintentional chemical mixtures in the environment, into regulatory risk assessments. Within the E...

Understanding the spatio-temporal structure and persistence of meteorological droughts is critical for climate risk assessment, particularly in regions with pronounced climatic gradients. Here, we present the first appli...

Assessing DEMs is a critical step in hydrological applications to reduce uncertainties. This study assesses the uncertainty level of using several DEM products by comparing the derivation of watershed morphometric inform...

Regional economic growth drives significant land-use changes, impacting urban development, resource allocation, and ecological networks. Challenges such as climate change, ecological degradation, and land-use-ecology con...

Soil erosion is a major problem, which has had adverse effects on the productivity of agriculture, the quality of water, and the sustainability of land in the long term, especially in semi-arid states of southern India. ...

"In this paper, we propose a formalism to query transportation networks that are equipped with sensors that produce time-series data. The core of the proposed query mechanism is a logic based language that is capable to...

This paper presents an introduction to Artificial Intelligence and creativity. Creativity is analyzed from a biological point of view based on the concept of neuroplasticity of the human brain. It seeks to understand the...

Abstract Microorganisms play key roles in nutrient cycling and soil remediation in saline-alkaline ecosystems. However, how their assembly rules and interaction networks change during natural succession remains unclear. ...

Recent rock art research in the Pali Aike volcanic field (PAVF, southern Argentina and Chile) expanded the chronology (ca. 3100B.P.) and morphological and technical repertoire of abstract-geometric and figurative paintin...

The problem of incomplete data matrices is repeatedly found in large databases; posing a significant obstacle for an effective treatment of data. This paper examines a self-organizing-map (SOM) based method of data imput...

Abstract Rapid and continuous urbanization has increased water demand in cities worldwide. Global assessments of urban water scarcity should be conducted using gridded hydrological information, but are hampered by the la...

Freshwater science has grown and evolved extensively since its inception in the late 1800s. Many of the models and conceptual frameworks developed for and used in freshwater research were originally proposed by researche...

A bacia do Tietê/Jacaré é uma das 22 Unidades de Gestão de Recursos Hídricos (Ugrhis) do Estado de São Paulo. Um estudo desenvolvido de 2005 a 2007 detalhou as principais características dessa bacia hidrográfica,...

The Andes Cordillera contains the most diverse cryosphere on Earth, including extensive areas covered by seasonal snow, numerous tropical and extratropical glaciers, and many mountain permafrost landforms. Here, we revie...

Background Strengthening emergency care systems could reduce death and disability in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), yet many struggle to provide timely, high-quality care. LMICs also face growing risks from cl...

This article examines how floodwater can become a driver of urban resilience in Addis Ababa. Focusing on the Upper Kebena River basin, the study analyzes how rapid urbanization, steep geomorphology, low- infiltration soi...

In the past, country house research was mainly concerned with individual houses and gardens. Yet, as early as the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, so many country houses were being built around the major cities that...

Smooth-coated Otter Lutrogale perspicillata is one of the three species of otters found in India. Photographs from the Lower Ganga Canal confirmed the presence of the species in the Ganga River in January of 2021 and 202...
