Hydro‐Insurgency: Weaponization of Water Resources and Infrastructure in Northeast Syria
World Water Policy, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 924-938, November 2025.ABSTRACT This article examines the strategic weaponization of water resources by Turkey‐backed armed groups in Northeast Syria (NES) within the broader context of the Syrian civil war. As the conflict evolved, water infrastructure—dams, rivers, and irrigation systems—became central to warfare, governance, and foreign agendas. The article introduces the

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 8, August 2025.Abstract Aquifer characterization is essential for predicting aquifer responses and ensuring sustainable groundwater management. In this study we develop a sparse‐grids‐based Bayesian framework to infer the hydraulic conductivity and the soil compressibility of over‐exploited aquifer systems using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) ground

New Insights on the Crustal Deformation in the Eastern Betics From Densified GNSS Data
Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 2, February 2025.Abstract The Eastern Betic cordillera, southeastern Spain, is characterized by slow tectonic deformation rates and moderate seismicity. Great uncertainties persist regarding the precise kinematics of the main fault system within the region, the Eastern Betic Shear Zone (EBSZ). We present a new GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) velocity field in

The Rise and Fall of the Ebro Water Transfer [PDF]
, 2006 This article analyzes the Ebro inter-basin transfer, which was the main project of the Spanish National Hydrological Plan. The Ebro transfer was prompted by pervasive pressures, scarcity and degradation of Southeastern basins in Spain.

Earth and Space Science, Volume 11, Issue 10, October 2024.Abstract The Trans‐Alboran Shear Zone is one of the most seismically active areas in the westernmost Mediterranean, where a wide variety of tectonic domains have developed within the context of oblique convergence between Eurasia and Africa plates. In this region, earthquakes occur close to seismogenic structures, some of them large enough to cause ...

Tectonics, Volume 43, Issue 10, October 2024.Abstract The Spanish historical earthquake catalog reveals a significant number of destructive earthquakes (≥ ${\ge} $Mw 6.0) that have occurred along the Eastern Betic Shear Zone (EBSZ), a major active fault system at the Eastern Betic Cordillera. However, during the last century, seismic activity in this region has been characterized by the absence ...

A new plant genus and species from south‐eastern Spain: Castrila latens (Rubieae, Rubiaceae)
TAXON, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 1001-1015, August 2024.Abstract A new genus and species, Castrila latens, native to the south‐eastern Iberian Peninsula, is described here for the first time and compared with its closest relatives. The plant is characterized by being annual, glabrous, having reduplicate leaves in whorls of (5)6–7, inflorescences capitate and involucrate, corolla shortly hypocrateriform and ...
