Advancing Sustainable Operational Efficiency in the Mining Industry: Trends, Innovations, Frameworks, and Future Research Directions

Sustainable Development, Volume 34, Issue S1, Page 736-757, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This review highlights the urgent need for sustainable operational efficiency (SOE) in the mining industry (MI) as it confronts escalating environmental, social, and economic pressures. Although considerable progress has been achieved in areas such as life cycle assessment, renewable energy integration, and data‐driven decision‐making ...

Mosaicking Landsat and Sentinel-2 Data to Enhance LandTrendr Time Series Analysis in Northern High Latitude Permafrost Regions [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2020
Permafrost is warming in the northern high latitudes, inducing highly dynamic thaw-related permafrost disturbances across the terrestrial Arctic. Monitoring and tracking of permafrost disturbances is important as they impact surrounding landscapes, ecosystems and infrastructure.

Divergent Spatiotemporal Patterns and Climate Responses of Lateral and Internal Lake Drainage in the Northern Permafrost Region

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 16, 28 August 2025.
Abstract Lake drainage is a key manifestation of permafrost degradation with implications for hydrology, landscape dynamics and carbon feedbacks. Lake drainage occurs through two distinct mechanisms, namely lateral drainage and internal drainage. Here, we identified 3,969 lake drainage events from 2001 to 2020 across the northern permafrost region ...

Higher Sensitivity of L‐Band Vegetation Optical Depth to Foliage Than Total Aboveground Biomass

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 12, 28 June 2025.
Abstract L‐band vegetation optical depth (VOD) has been widely used to estimate spatiotemporal variations of forest biomass. However, the sensitivity of L‐VOD to different vegetation components, such as foliage and stems, remains poorly understood despite their distinct interannual variations.

Spatio‐Temporal Dynamics of Invasive Spartina Alterniflora and Its Functional Traits' Responding to Hydro‐Meteorology

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Coastal wetlands represent one of the most critical ecosystem types worldwide, and offer a diverse array of vital ecosystem services. Large‐scale and rapid invasion of Spartina alterniflora (S. alterniflora) has imposed significant impacts on coastal wetland ecosystems and biodiversity globally. Tracking dynamic trajectories of S. alterniflora

Natural Forest Restoration Potential to Mitigate Climate Change in China

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract China has achieved remarkable progress in forest conservation and restoration through extensive management efforts, including afforestation and the protection of natural forests. However, previous studies on forest carbon potential have primarily foucused on afforestation, while natural forest restoration‐recognized for its superior carbon ...

Land Use Change Forcing Data Undermine the Modeling of China's Greening Efforts

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 5, 16 March 2025.
Abstract China has made extensive afforestation efforts over the past 40 years. However, ecosystem models simulate only modest vegetation enhancement, creating a significant disparity between documented reforestation efforts and model‐based simulations. This fundamental mismatch remains largely unexplored.
