Hydro‐Insurgency: Weaponization of Water Resources and Infrastructure in Northeast Syria

World Water Policy, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 924-938, November 2025.
ABSTRACT This article examines the strategic weaponization of water resources by Turkey‐backed armed groups in Northeast Syria (NES) within the broader context of the Syrian civil war. As the conflict evolved, water infrastructure—dams, rivers, and irrigation systems—became central to warfare, governance, and foreign agendas. The article introduces the

Quantifying Past and Future Terrestrial Water Storage Scarcity Across China Through Midcentury

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Terrestrial water storage (TWS) in China, with the world's largest irrigated expanse and extensive mid‐low latitude glaciers, is essential for effective water resource management and socioeconomic risk adaptation. However, the responses of TWS to human intervention and climate change, both during historical periods and under future scenarios ...

Twenty Thousand-Year-Old Huts at a Hunter-Gatherer Settlement in Eastern Jordan [PDF]

, 2012
Ten thousand years before Neolithic farmers settled in permanent villages, hunter-gatherer groups of the Epipalaeolithic period (c. 22–11,600 cal BP) inhabited much of southwest Asia.

Is There a Precipitation Decline in the Mediterranean Region? An Assessment Based on the Scientific Literatured

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 45, Issue 9, July 2025.
We have compiled research published since 1980 on annual precipitation trends in the Mediterranean basin. A total of 337 papers were analysed, with the aim of providing a comprehensive overview of the available research, rather than evaluating the quality of the data, methods, or interpretations.

Modelling Species Distribution at the Boundaries of the Earth's Climate

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to project species' responses to global changes. The climatic niche of a species is calibrated under current climate conditions and then projected in space and/or time, making model extrapolation an important concern. This issue is particularly relevant when considering species

, 2003
Cereal grains recovered from recent excavations at two early Neolithic tenth millennium (BP non cal.) sites on the Euphrates were measured. The results presented as scatter diagrams showed that there was an increase in grain size between early and later ...

A Simple Approach to Represent Irrigation Water Withdrawals in Earth System Models

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract The increasing demand for water, driven by population growth and agricultural expansion, underscores the need for accurate representation of irrigation in Earth System Models (ESMs). While a few current‐generation ESMs incorporate irrigation, their representation of water withdrawals remains overly simplistic.

To vegetable: Seasons that require us

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract Domestication of cereals tracks with the natural life cycle of plants in the Poaceae family, but vegetables represent a different modality and often possess a truncated life cycle. The evolution of vegetable biodiversity required curatorial work each growing season that differed in important ways from curation of grains or perennial crops ...
