Long‐Term Morphodynamic Responses to Flood Diversion in the Lower Kano River, Japan

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fluvial morphodynamics—the interaction between water flow, sediment transport, and channel morphology—is a central concern in sustainable river management. However, the long‐term effects of flood diversion remain underexplored. This study investigated the decadal‐scale morphodynamic responses of the lower Kano River in Japan following the ...

Improving forest age estimation to understand subtropical forest regrowth dynamics using deep learning image segmentation of time‐series historical aerial photographs

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Accurately estimating forest age is key to understanding how forests recover and evaluating restoration success. We developed a two‐step deep learning approach using historical greyscale aerial photographs to map forest age at fine spatial scales. By combining a pre‐trained model with localized fine‐tuning, our U‐Net + ResNet50 architecture achieved ...

Subtropical middle atmosphere dynamics observed by the Chung Li radar [PDF]

, 1989
The Chung Li Radar (24.91 N; 121.24 E) has been operating since 1986. A five beam observational configuration was used on a regular basis to study the various dynamics processes in the atmosphere-lower stratosphere height region.

Regulatory Framework and Public Policies for Sustainability in the Construction Sector

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analyzes the role of public policies in promoting socially responsible practices in the construction sector, with a particular focus on their contribution to climate neutrality and the decarbonization of the building stock. European agreements exert increasing pressure to transform the construction sector, reinforcing the transition

Mechanism driving stronger tropical cyclones in cooler autumn than the hottest summer

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
Warmer sea surface temperatures (SSTs) increase evaporation, convection, and latent heat release in the atmosphere, which favors tropical cyclone (TC) intensification and ultimately leads to stronger storms.

Overcoming Barriers and Solutions for Catalysing Private Capital in Climate Adaptation: A Stakeholder‐Informed Agenda for Hong Kong's Intermediary Role in Southeast Asia

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates stakeholder perspectives on mobilising private‐sector finance for climate adaptation in Southeast Asia, emphasising Hong Kong's role as a financial intermediary. Through semi‐structured interviews with diverse stakeholders, including practitioners, policymakers, insurers, and project developers, we employed a grounded ...

A thermoplastic microfluidic platform with integrated electrospun scaffolds for assessing brain cell‐specific drug selectivity

VIEW, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the microfluidic platform with its advantages. Abstract A major challenge in pharmacology is the limited selectivity of therapeutic compounds toward specific tissues or cells. Drugs often distribute systemically before reaching the intended site of action, affecting nontarget cells and potentially reducing efficacy or ...

Comparative evaluation of data‐driven weather forecast models performance for medium‐ to extended‐range weather forecasting and tropical cyclone genesis in 2024

Weather, EarlyView.
This study examines the performance of state‐of‐the‐art artificial intelligence (AI) weather forecasting models in 2024. For tropical cyclone genesis forecasts in the western North Pacific, AI models generally perform better than the physics‐based European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Integrated Forecasting System (IFS ...
