From Tin Mining to Green Tourism—Sungai Lembing's Inspiring Ecological Transformation

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sungai Lembing, once a prominent tin mining town in Malaysia, faced severe environmental degradation and economic decline by the late 20th century due to unsustainable mining practices. This study explores Sungai Lembing's transformation from a mining hub to a model of ecological restoration and sustainable development through a governance‐led

Wetlands as environments of early human occupation: A new classification for freshwater palaeowetlands

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
A new classification for inland freshwater palaeowetlands to be used in the field or core laboratory by sedimentologists, providing examples from the Guadix Basin (southern Spain). Abstract Present wetlands have proven to be delicate, biodiverse ecosystems, that are natural sinks for CO2 and act as good indicators for climate changes.

Global-scale control of extensional tectonics on CO2 earth degassing

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Earth degassing of CO2-rich fluids has been proven to contribute significantly to the global carbon budget. The presence of ubiquitous outgassing reveals some degree of permeability of the crust that often coincides with seismically active zones. In this
