Coal Mining as a Driver of Land Use and Land Cover Change and Degradation: A Case in Moatize City, Mozambique

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coal remains a major global energy source despite ongoing environmental controversies, particularly, regarding climate change and landscape transformation. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) in the Moatize Coal Basin (MCB), Mozambique, between 1990 and 2024, with a specific focus on land ...

Uncertainty in aquatic greenhouse gas flux estimates arises from subjective processing of floating chamber time series

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate quantification of greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes from aquatic systems is essential for constraining regional and global carbon budgets. Closed floating chambers are widely used to measure carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) fluxes at the water–air interface, yet large uncertainties persist due to subjective processing of chamber time ...

Assessing the Relationship between Coastal Reclamation and Seagrass Ecosystems in Coron, Palawan using Multitemporal Remote Sensing, Shoreline Change Analysis, and Turbidity Mapping [PDF]

ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences
Coastal reclamation can be a threat to benthic habitats, which include seagrass meadows. However, long-term data to assess seagrass response to reclamation are limited due to time and logistics challenges.

Water Scarcity, Marketing, and Privatization [PDF]

, 2005
Most Americans take water for granted. Turn on the tap and a limitless quantity of high quality water flows for less money than it costs for cable television or a cell phone.

Microbially driven organic carbon cycling at the land−sea interface: Advances and an integrated study framework

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract The land−sea interface is a vital component of global biogeochemical cycles, where microorganisms drive the cycling of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur. This review synthesizes the research progress from representative land−sea interfaces to elucidate how the microbial community structure and metabolic function influence the mobilization ...

Climate change and the Delta, San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science [PDF]

, 2016
Anthropogenic climate change amounts to a rapidly approaching, “new” stressor in the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta system. In response to California’s extreme natural hydroclimatic variability, complex water-management systems have been developed, even as

Reconstructing Early Human Subsistence in Near Oceania: New Insights From Matenkupkum and Matenbek

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The colonization of New Ireland ~44–40,000 years ago represents the earliest evidence of human occupation in Near Oceania. Yet, the precise impacts of climatic changes on subsistence strategies during the Late Pleistocene, Last Glacial Maximum, and Holocene remain poorly understood.

Epistemic opacity in Antarctic science: Unknowing the last frontier

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Antarctica is facing intensifying pressures from climate change, industrial fishing, tourism and renewed geopolitical competition, even as scientific activity on the continent reaches unprecedented levels. We argue that this proliferation of research often fails to deliver the integrated, policy‐relevant knowledge needed for precautionary ...
