More than 50% of the world's largest countries and cities depend on groundwater for their daily needs. In particular, 80% of the largest cities in the Middle East, South Asia, and Central Asia rely on groundwater for drinking, irrigation, and industr...
Environmental challenges such as drought, salinity, heavy metal contamination, and nutrient deficiencies threaten global agricultural productivity and food security. These stressors drastically reduce crop yields, necessitating innovative solutions. ...
Endemic and endangered bird species, such as Salvadori serin (C. xantholaema), are vulnerable to environmental and anthropogenic changes. Understanding the impact of climate change on ecological niches is essential for effective conservation. This st...
Riverine and lake ecosystems are sources of global non-CO greenhouse gases (GHGs) and serve as sinks for pollutants, facing the dual challenges of mitigating GHG emissions and controlling water pollution. However, interactions between pollutant input...
Environmental monitoring and assessment

Climate change is one of the most extreme challenges of the twenty-first century. Precipitation (pr) and temperature variability are key indicators of climate change detection. Whereas hybrid deep learning (DL) models have been widely applied, their ...
Marine phytoplankton are crucial to oceanic ecosystems, yet trends in their activity, monitored through chlorophyll a, remain uncertain due to observational limitations. We generated an ocean chlorophyll a dataset (2001 to 2023) across low to mid-lat...
In the context of global climate change, this study aims to investigate the spatial heterogeneity and driving mechanisms of the urban heat island (UHI) effect within Xi'an's second ring road area. We constructed a novel multi-source data fusion frame...
BACKGROUND: Health systems worldwide are increasingly influenced by rapid and complex changes across various domains. Anticipating and responding to these changes is critical to ensuring the sustainability and effectiveness of health systems. Future-...
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL), also known as kala-azar, has posed significant challenges to elimination efforts due to increased reporting of new cases from high mountain and previously considered non-endemic areas in Nepal. Understanding the potential...
The global carbon-climate system is a highly complex and dynamic network characterized by multiple feedback loops between interconnected components. Addressing the risks of climate change requires active intervention across these components (Atmosphe...
