Sunshine Duration in Brazil From Meteosat (1983–2020): Climatology, Variability and Long‐Term Trends

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Using nearly four decades of Meteosat satellite data (1983–2020), this study presents a country‐wide climatology of sunshine duration (SDU) in Brazil. The results reveal marked regional contrasts, dominant modes of variability, and significant long‐term trends, providing new information on the most relevant meteorological systems that influence SDU and

Clay mineralogy in mylonite weathering products from Njimom (west Cameroon): origin and terracotta suitability

Discover Geoscience
This study investigated the mineralogical assemblage of weathering products developed on mylonite rocks in west Cameroon. Smectite and vermiculite occurrence was studied, particularly to emphasize its origin and the potential of the samples in terracotta

Projected Annual and Monsoonal Precipitation Trends of CMIP6 Over Peninsular Malaysia

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
In this study, we examined historical and projected precipitation temporal trends across Peninsular Malaysia using ground‐based records and CMIP6 models from NEX‐GDDP. Analysing data from 518 reliable gauges over 1973–2022, it identified spatial and monsoonal variations.

Rapid methods of landslide hazard mapping : Fiji case study [PDF]

, 1995
A landslide hazard probability map can help planners (1) prepare for, and/or mitigate against, the effects of landsliding on communities and infrastructure, and (2) avoid or minimise the risks associated with new developments.

Performance Evaluation of the MPAS Model in Simulating Southeast Asian Rainfall Characteristics

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study evaluates the performance of the Model for Prediction Across Scales–Atmosphere (MPAS) in reproducing key rainfall characteristics over Southeast Asia (SEA) during 2000–2020, using the MSWEP dataset as reference. MPAS realistically captures the observed meridional rainfall gradient, with higher rainfall in the south and lower in the north, as

Boron availability and fertilizer response of maize in soils from sub‐Saharan Africa

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Low boron (B) availability is associated with strongly weathered, coarse‐textured, and low organic matter soils, widespread in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). It is unknown to what extent B fertilization can increase maize yields in SSA.

Enhancing Soil Aggregation and Water Retention by Applying Kaolinite Clay to Post‐Tin‐Mined Land on Belitung Island, Indonesia

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐mining sandy soils have low water retention, which causes soil particle separation and persistent soil erosion. Although organic matter is commonly used for soil restoration, it is lightweight, washes away during heavy rain, and decomposes under strong sunlight.
