Strong impact of tropical cyclones on the genesis of subsurface marine heatwaves

Communications Earth & Environment
Subsurface marine heatwaves are newly recognized extreme ocean events with profound impacts on global marine ecosystems. Previous studies have linked their formation to downwelling favorable surface winds, warm ocean eddies, and planetary waves, yet ...

Monitoring of Crustose Coralline Algae Using Low‐Altitude Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Intertidal Reefs

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
High‐resolution visible‐light imagery from low‐altitude unmanned aerial vehicles, combined with superpixel segmentation and a Random Forest classifier, provides an efficient and scalable framework for mapping and monitoring crustose coralline algae and reef habitats.

Improved Cerrado Wetland Mapping Through Seasonal Moisture Metrics, Terrain Information and Semantic Segmentation

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Brazil's Cerrado valley wetlands—swamp savanna and gallery forest—are highly important for the biome's water cycle and carbon storage and are susceptible to degradation from the impacts of land use expansion and the climate crisis. In support of their detailed monitoring and assessment, we developed and tested a transferable mapping approach that ...

Marine heatwaves are shaping the vertical structure of phytoplankton in the global ocean

Communications Earth & Environment
Marine heatwaves, characterized by extremely high ocean temperatures, significantly impact marine ecosystems. To date, the vertical structure of phytoplankton responses to marine heatwaves remains poorly understood.

Stunned by a Heatwave: Experimental Heatwaves Alter Juvenile Responsiveness to the Threat of Predation

Ecology and Evolution
ABSTRACTHeatwaves, increasingly prevalent in our rapidly changing climate, significantly impact animals with far‐reaching ecological and evolutionary consequences. One of the first responses in animals to stress, including heat stress, is behavioural change, and this can directly influence fitness and survival.

Future changes in population exposure to snowfall extremes across Eurasia

River, EarlyView.
Abstract Extreme snowfall events have frequently occurred across parts of Eurasia, causing substantial economic losses and severe societal impacts. As global warming intensifies, assessing its potential effect on population exposure to such extremes becomes increasingly crucial. This study employed CMIP6 model datasets and future population projections

Mortality risk during heatwaves: An evaluation of effects by heatwaves characteristics in Serbia

Geographica Pannonica
Extreme temperatures and heatwaves are recognized as one of the deadliest weather-related hazards. The first of its kind in the Balkans region, this study explores the effects of heatwave timing, duration, and intensity on mortality in Serbia. Using daily all-cause mortality data and mean temperature, a distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM) evaluates

Toward Sustainable Healthcare: Examining ESG‐Readiness in Austrian Regional State‐Owned Hospitals

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reporting on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues is now an essential part of responsible corporate governance, including in the healthcare sector. This study investigates the ESG reporting practices of Austrian regional state‐owned hospitals (rSOHs), contributing to the growing sustainability literature. Thirteen interviews with

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.
