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

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 13, Page 9126-9143, 15 August 2026.
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 ...

Integrating multispecies habitat suitability and landscape connectivity to design biodiversity corridors for mountains

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract In the Himalayan region, habitat loss from infrastructure development and land use changes threatens biodiversity by degrading biological corridors. Despite increased protected areas (PAs), maintaining connectivity between them remains challenging.

Surface Mineralogy and Hydrological Controls on “Hotspots” of Dust Emission at Etosha Pan, Namibia

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Ephemeral lake beds are globally significant sources of atmospheric mineral dust aerosols, yet emissions from these landforms exhibit considerable spatial and temporal variability. The complex interactions between climatic drivers and surface properties that govern dust emissions remain poorly understood, contributing to uncertainties in model

Spatiotemporal Analysis Of Flood Inundation Using MNDWI At Rawa Pening 2019-2025

Jambura Geoscience Review
Flood inundation around Rawa Pening Lake has intensified in recent years, yet long-term patterns of inundation extent and persistence remain poorly quantified. This study aims to analyse the interannual and spatial dynamics of flood inundation in the Rawa Pening lake-basin system during 2019–2025 and to identify riparian zones that experience recurrent

Detecting cotton Verticillium wilt within and across multiple fields with Sentinel‐2 imagery and machine learning

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Verticillium wilt, caused by Verticillium dahliae, poses a major threat to cotton production worldwide. This study presents a framework for predicting Verticillium wilt incidence across multiple cotton fields by combining Sentinel‐2 imagery, preseason inoculum, and weather variables with machine learning models.

Enhancing flood inundation mapping technique using Landsat-based remote sensing and 2D hydrodynamic modeling: a case study of the Bihar flood caused by the Koshi embankment breach

Frontiers in Remote Sensing
Floods have become more unpredictable and erratic due to the influence of extreme hydroclimatic events. Therefore, obtaining near-real-time, accurate flood inundation maps for such events is essential for effective flood emergency response, which can be ...

Spatiotemporal Analysis of Hydrological and Land Cover Transformations in the Upper Indus Basin Insights from MNDWI

Evidence in Earth Science
The Upper Indus Basin (UIB) is a crucial freshwater source for millions of people in South Asia, although its water resources are increasingly threatened by climate change, population increase, and land-use changes. Effective monitoring and management of these resources are essential for long-term sustainability.

Seasonality, barrage (Farakka) regulated hydrology and flood scenarios of the Ganga River: a study based on MNDWI and simple Gumbel model [PDF]

Modeling Earth Systems and Environment, 2016
The hydrology of the Ganga River is mainly characterized by high monsoon rainfall and seasonal variability in discharge flow. The study is focuses on both the up and down-streams of Farakka barrage. It has been executed with the help of Modified Normalized Difference Water Index using Landsat satellite images (2014), satellite based discharge data and ...

Mangrove expansion in a large river delta is dependent on foreshore geomorphology

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Our findings provide guidance for large‐scale mangrove restoration, particularly in tropical river deltas, by identifying sites where (1) mangroves can potentially expand in the future, and (2) conditions are favourable for active mangrove seedling planting. The presence of a mudflat in front of existing mangroves is not sufficient.
