In order to ensure the availability of drinkable water in these places, this research proposes integrating concentrated solar power (CSP) with desalination systems (DS). Present research is focused on identifying and evaluating potential locations for DS/CSP implementation within Mauritania by employing a comprehensive, multi-criteria decision-making framework. This framework synthesizes mathematical approaches from multi-criteria analysis with geospatial analysis techniques, considering a range of factors including environmental impact, economic viability, demographic demands, and climatic conditions. Research findings reveal that 10% of the Mauritanian, approximately 103070 km<sup>2</sup>, presents optimal conditions for the deployment of DS/CSP facilities. The study delineates the coastal regions as prime candidates for seawater desalination plants, while the densely populated southeastern areas are identified as suitable for brackish water desalination systems. Conversely, the less inhabited northern territories hold the potential for decentralized brackish water desalination plants. Hence this study provides a holistic approach for DS/CSP systems installation to manage water scarcity as well as energy security issues in Mauritania.

There is a growing recognition that adaptation practices need to be directed within specific industries, communities, and stakeholders. A key area that is being impacted is the snow sports industry which is facing various challenges due to localized climatic changes. Previous work has indicated that climate change may leave these snow-dependent industries in the U.S. Midwest unviable in the future, so it is imperative to understand how these stakeholders are adapting to climate change and how they view the future of their industry. To do this, we conducted in-depth interviews with owners and operators in Wisconsin to understand 1) the climate change impacts they are facing, 2) their adaptation strategies, and 3) their views of the future of Wisconsin downhill skiing. Our results outline various environmental and social changes that participants associate with climate change and document their current adaptation strategies. Operators are optimistic about the future, but there is a recognition that adaptation practices and planning will likely intensify.

To explore the connection between UHI and urban expansion, this study takes GBA as the study area, based on Google Earth Engine platform and Landsat satellite data. The urban-rural temperature difference method was used to analyze the heat island zoning in the GBA from 2000 to 2020, and the direction and type of urban expansion in the GBA were investigated by standard deviation ellipse and LEI, to explore the link between the type of urban expansion and the heat island region through geospatial analysis methods. The results of the study show that: (1) The proportion of the area of strong and extreme heat islands in the GBA was 37.64% in 2000; 38.61% in 2005; 47.07% in 2010; 55.76% in 2015; and finally 59.69% in 2020. The proportion of the area of heat island regions in the period from 2000 to 2020 showed an overall increasing trend, with the largest increase in heat island regions in the period from 2015 to 2020. (2) The intensity of urban expansion in the GBA is 32% in both 2000–2005 and 2005–2010, which is significantly higher than the 9% in 2010–2015, and then increases to 24 per cent in 2015–2020. The speed of movement of urban centroids decreases in 2000–2015 and increases in 2015–2020. The direction of urban expansion in the first 5 years is dominated by the northeast, and the direction of urban expansion in the latter 15 years is generally dominated by the southwest, and the type of urban expansion is dominated by the fringe type, with the enclave type of expansion accounting for a smaller proportion. (3) Pearson correlation analysis further confirms that there is a significant positive correlation between urban sprawl and the urban heat island effect, with a correlation coefficient of 0.78 and a p-value of 0.041. There is a high degree of spatial consistency between the distribution of built-up urban areas and the distribution of heat island areas in GBA, and the direction of the evolution of the urban heat island areas is the same as the direction of the evolution of the built-up urban areas in general, and the thermal response of the marginal expansion to the ground surface temperature is stronger than that of enclave expansion. The thermal response to the surface temperature is stronger than that of the enclave type of expansion.","PeriodicalId":48496,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Research Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142214900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to elucidate the evolving patterns and determinants of runoff within the UMRYR, a matter of considerable importance for the basin’s water resource management, strategy, and distribution. Utilizing the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, this research accessed comprehensive datasets including precipitation, drought index, and terrace area, among others, to examine their effects on runoff variations at five gauge stations across the YRB. Terrace data was extracted from Landsat imagery via the Random Forest Model, while annual runoff figures from 1990 to 2020 were sourced from the Sediment Bulletin of China River. Employing the Mann-Kendall test, we assessed the temporal changes in runoff over three decades. In addition, runoff drivers were analyzed by stepwise regression and redundancy analysis, leading to the construction of a multiple linear regression model. The accuracy of predicting annual runoff using the multiple linear model was verified through cross-validation and comparison with the ARIMA time series model. Our findings reveal the efficacy of the random forest algorithm in classifying terraces, achieving an accuracy rate exceeding 0.8. The period from 1990 to 2020 saw a general increase in annual runoff across the five gauging stations in the UMRYR, albeit with variations in the pattern, particularly at the Tangnaihai gauge station which presented the most complex changes. Crucially, three main drivers—summer precipitation (SP), terrace area (TR), and drought index (DI)—were identified as significant predictors in the regression models. The multiple linear regression model outperformed the ARIMA model in forecasting accuracy, underlining the significance of integrating these drivers into runoff prediction models for the UMRYR.","PeriodicalId":48496,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Research Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142214808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This phase locking is a fundamental property of the ENSO. The observed characteristics of phase locking are intricately tied to the seasonality of ENSO-related Sea Surface Temperature (SST) growth rate. In this study, notable observational evidence is presented: the strength of phase locking of El Niño weakened, and the phase locking advanced to peak at an earlier time during the period 2001 to 2022 compared to 1982 to 2000. The advancement of El Niño Phase Locking is explored by analyzing the contributions of different oceanic feedbacks to the El Niño phenomenon. Specifically, our findings highlight the significant role of nonlinear advective dynamic heating (NDH), which is influenced by the decrease in equatorial pacific surface zonal current anomaly and the equatorial pacific surface zonal gradient of sea SST anomaly. This investigation enhances our understanding of the evolving dynamics of El Niño phase locking, shedding light on the intricate interplay of oceanic feedbacks in influencing this fundamental aspect of ENSO behavior.","PeriodicalId":48496,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Research Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142214809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the relationship between environmental factors and management alternatives for an integrated mangrove-aquaculture system in Derawan Island District, Berau Regency, East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. The study collected a total of 56 soil and water samples from around 50 ha to assess environmental limiting factors for integrated mangrove-brackishwater aquaculture management. The measured soil quality variables included field pH (pH<sub>F</sub>), pH of hydrogen peroxide extract (pH<sub>FOX</sub>), peroxide oxidizable sulfur (S<sub>POS</sub>), pyrite (FeS<sub>2</sub>), organic matter (OM), nitrogen-total (N-<sub>TOT</sub>), iron (Fe), and aluminum (Al). Water quality variables included salinity, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), different forms of nitrogen (NH<sub>3</sub>–ammonia, NO<sub>3</sub>–nitrate, and NO<sub>2</sub>–nitrite), phosphate (PO<sub>4</sub>), Fe, and total organic matter (TOM). The study employed a hydrological restoration approach to suggest a mangrove-friendly aquaculture pond design and layout. The study generally showed that Acid Sulfate Soils (ASS) significantly restricted the existing mixed-mangrove aquaculture pond management by negatively impacting water quality. This study highlights that, given the characteristics of ASS-affected aquaculture ponds, reducing pond size for shrimp culture (mangrove-to-pond ratio of 80% and 20%) will simplify managing ASS environmental limiting factors through cost-effective remediation techniques and a Balanced Fertilization Strategy (BFS). The reduced shrimp pond size will also provide direct opportunities for mangrove restoration and allow effective hydrological restoration. The economic benefit of the proposed pond design and management model focuses on diversifying production units which include shrimp aquaculture ponds, milkfish or tilapia culture in the peripheral canals of the mangrove compartment, juvenile shrimp production, and periodic harvest from the primary pond canal. The study findings are particularly applicable to ponds that have already been built in ASS to improve productivity in addition to supporting the mangrove rehabilitation program. Converting mangrove and ASS-affected land is not advisable for constructing new aquaculture ponds.","PeriodicalId":48496,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Research Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142214784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the temporal change and spatial variation in the association between temperature and transport accident mortality in Japan using daily time-series data from 1972 to 2019. First, we used time-stratified case-crossover analyses with a distributed lag nonlinear model to estimate the risks of transport accident mortality with temperature in 47 prefectures in Japan. We then pooled the estimates to obtain the risk at the country level through multivariate meta-analysis. In addition, we divided the whole time period into five sub-periods to explore temporal changes in the association and fitted the mixed-effects meta-regression to identify climatic, demographic, and socioeconomic factors that may explain the spatial heterogeneity. We found that temperature was positively associated with transport accident mortality, with a percent change (PC) of 1.47% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.10%, 1.85%) increase in transport accident mortality per 1 °C increase in daily mean temperature. The risk of transport accident mortality associated with temperature has decreased from 1972 [PC = 2.14% (95% CI: 1.51%, 2.77%)] to 2000 [PC = 0.89% (95% CI: 0.21%, 1.57%)] but increased slightly from 2001 [PC = 1.13% (95% CI: 0.47%, 1.48%)] to 2019 [PC = 1.60% (95% CI: 0.73%, 2.48%)]. The association between temperature and transport accident mortality was larger in relatively less developed prefectures, as explained by demographic and socioeconomic factors (e.g., total population, proportion of older people and females, and number of general hospitals). Our findings may help to better understand the association between high temperature and transport accident mortality and underlying potential mechanisms, which can provide implications for public health policies to reduce the mortality burden from transport accidents in the future.","PeriodicalId":48496,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Research Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142214815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Early Stage (December 6–10), surface air temperature (SAT) anomalies reach the highest at 6.77 °C, exceeding mean value by two standard deviations. The variation of SAT anomalies (differences of SAT anomalies between the last day and the first day for a given period) is 0.60 °C. In Development Stage (December 11–15), SAT anomalies begin to decline but remain positive. In Outbreak Stage (December 16–22), the variation of SAT anomalies reaches a minimum of −3.17 °C, reflecting the cooling of EC. From December 1, cold air gradually gathers in Siberia under the influence of Arctic high moving southward. Cold air is locked in Siberia due to negative anomalies of geopotiential height (GH) and the westerlies anomalies between 40°–50°N. On December 11, these negative GH anomalies begin to move southeastward, and the westerlies anomalies weaken to a easterlies. From December 16–22, EC experiences an extreme cold event due to the southward of Arctic high and the eastward of Ural and Okhotsk high. On the basis of the zonal wind index (ZI) phase changes from negative to positive and the jet stream moves southeastward, the strong (weak) jet stream is spotted to block (promote) the southward of cold air. Linear regression shows that negative Arctic Oscillation (AO) conducts to the concentration of cold air in Siberia. Positive Siberia High (SH) pushes cold air to EC.
