Ambient air samples were collected from a rural area close to the lake. The levels of metal elements bonded to PM<sub>10</sub> were measured by the Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The mean ambient PM<sub>10</sub> concentration around the studied lake (78.12 μg/m<sup>3</sup>) was higher than the 24 h guidelines PM<sub>10</sub> standards proposed by World Health Organization (WHO) (50 μg/m<sup>3</sup>). The highest and lowest concentrations were related to Fe and V, respectively. Lifetime Cancer Risk (LCR) was higher for adults than for children. Additionally, the LCR value was higher for As compared to other metals, indicating that the cancer risk in the adults group was mainly due to As. Besides, health risk assessments indicated that adults suffered from higher cancer risks compared to children, while both adults and children did not suffer from non-carcinogenic risks. Through Principal component analysis (PCA) and random forest (RF) analysis, it was determined that metallic concentrations in the air samples are influenced by both natural and anthropogenic sources, with copper and lead identified as pivotal predictors for nickel levels. Therefore, monitoring and addressing such metal-induced pollution is essential for regional public health.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54616,"journal":{"name":"Physics and Chemistry of the Earth","volume":"137 ","pages":"Article 103793"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142656894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent years have seen significant growth in hydropower (Rusumo 80 MW, Kikagati 14 MW, Kakono 87 MW) and irrigated agriculture. Additionally, the full irrigation potential is planned for expansion from 45.15% (2016), alongside 94.71 ha allocated for large-scale manufacturing across six sub-catchments. To assess the impact of these developments on water availability, three scenarios (recent, medium-term, and long-term) were simulated using the MIKE HYDRO Basin model. This model, calibrated with baseline data (1982–2012), used river gauge data and the NAM rainfall-runoff model to estimate discharge and input flows. Results project total water demand to nearly double by 2040, reaching 823.4 Mm³/year, up from 415.2 Mm³/year in 2016. Water deficits are most severe from July to September, with the Kagera catchment showing the highest shortages, reaching 80.1 Mm³/year by 2040. Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) indicates Scenario 2 (irrigation capped at 60%) as the most sustainable, balancing social, economic, and environmental needs.

In this regard, there is need to identify strategies to monitor flood occurrence, to minimize effects. Remote sensing is one of the key data sources for natural hazards monitoring, over space and time. This paper therefore provides the state-of-the-art review on flood monitoring, using remote sensing in southern Africa, since the emergency of earth observation technologies. Specifically, the review focused on how southern Africa has embraced remote sensing for mapping flood extent, vulnerable areas and impacts, over time. The review also highlights available remote sensing data and products, to monitor floods, including their success, limitations, and prospects for improved flood monitoring in the region. Overall, there has been limited use of remote sensing data in flood monitoring in southern Africa, until 2010. Since then, there was an increase in the use of remote sensing data, for flood monitoring. Most of these studies used the freely available Landsat and MODIS datasets, and these studies focused more on mapping the extent of flooding. However, as much as considerable strides were made, there is still more work to be done. Future research needs to shift towards the use of new generation remote sensing data, including radar, as well as high spatial resolution drones, before, during and after flood occurrence. Advanced cloud-computing, such as Google Earth Engine and machine learning algorithms, also present opportunity for time series analysis of flooding.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54616,"journal":{"name":"Physics and Chemistry of the Earth","volume":"136 ","pages":"Article 103796"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142553955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The spatial variability of the evaluation of the drought class demonstrated that, with the exception of the northwestern region (Bayburt station), the correlation between RDI and SPI exceeded 97% and the difference in occurrence between drought classes is found to be marginal. In the multiscale analysis of the two indices, firstly, the Improved Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise (I-CEEMDAN) was employed to decompose the series. The modes of RDI and SPI at different process scales exhibited a strong positive linear correlation, however, the association in their long-term trends may not be of the same nature. The TDIC analysis captured the long-range correlations between the modes of RDI and SPI at diverse process scales, and the newly proposed average significant correlation (ASC) measure could quantify their strength. Within the basin, there exists strong interconnections between SPI and RDI, with the exception of the observed alterations in their nature and strength at short time spells in some inter-annual scales. The proposed TDIC based framework is a generic and robust alternative for multiscale investigation studies while ASC can quantify the strength of non-linear associations at distinct process scales.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54616,"journal":{"name":"Physics and Chemistry of the Earth","volume":"136 ","pages":"Article 103787"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142553953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seasonal variations and daytime carbon uptake reflected the role of urban vegetation in carbon sequestration. Additionally, our observations revealed that the implementation of COVID-19 control measures effectively reduced urban carbon emissions, with stricter controls associated with lower carbon emissions. Furthermore, we compared the differences in carbon emission reductions between anthropogenic controls and seasonal variations at the two sites.
