Given the essential role of rocks in the construction of various structures, it is imperative to prioritize the analysis of these geological formations. Therefore, it is imperative to thoroughly examine all potential future scenarios in which adverse environmental conditions manifest.

The inherent strength and failure behavior of rocks are modified by physico-mechanical changes induced by elevated temperatures. The development of appropriate remediation and renovation protocols for structures damaged by fire can be achieved by quantifying the thermally-induced alterations.

However, in some areas, including Bangladesh, groundwater quality has not been extensively studied concerning fluoride contamination, its hydrogeochemical properties, human health impacts, and nutrient dynamics. The present study aimed to assess the fluoride enrichment and broad hydrogeochemical properties of multiple aquifers along the modified tropical coast of Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. A total of 91 groundwater samples from shallow aquifers (SA), middle aquifers (MA), and deep aquifers (DA) were analyzed for hydrogeochemical elements. The results revealed that fluoride concentrations exceeded the permissible limit (1.50 mg/L) in 29 %, 25 %, and 27 % of SA, MA, and DA samples, with a maximum concentration of 13.5 mg/L. The saturation index indicated that evaporation intensified fluoride enrichment in over 40 % of groundwater samples, coinciding with increased total dissolved solids (TDS). The fluoride enrichment in the SA system was attributed to evaporite dissolution, carbonate weathering, desorption, competitive adsorption, cation exchange, and mineral dissolution-precipitation processes. Stable isotope analysis suggested that MA water was unaffected by evaporation during recharge, while recent recharge events influenced the isotopic composition of SA and DA waters, primarily through rainfall infiltration. The entropy water quality index classified 87.4 %, 91.8 %, and 82.9 % of respective SA, MA, and DA groundwater samples as very poor in quality. Health risk assessment revealed that SA posed the highest non-carcinogenic risk (83.02 %), followed by MA (12.03 %) and DA (9.75 %). Adults using SA water faced five times higher health risks than children, with the northern region identified as a hotspot for nutritional risks.

The multifaceted impacts of climate change on resources with a particular reference to the water, energy and food (WEF) nexus in the MENA countries are critically reviewed. Increasing population pressure (estimated 724 million by 2050) leads to higher demands on energy, especially electricity (an increase of 416 % from 1990 to 2022.), reaching 1060 TWh in 2020 due to urbanization and industry activities. This contributes to climate change, leading to higher regional temperatures in in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and Iran, which has risen by 1.2 °C since 1970. It is estimated that by 2050, temperature increases in MENA countries range from 1.5 to 3 °C. This in turn exacerbates drought, causing severe heatwaves and water scarcity, particularly in Egypt, Yemen, Syria and Sudan, affecting food production and security. The nexus concept highlights the interconnected challenges of water, energy and food in the MENA region amid climate change, where alterations in one element reverberate through the others. Adapting to this dynamic scenario involves solutions such as water desalination, where energy generated by renewable sources such as solar and wind as well as hybrid systems combining solar and fossil fuels offers a versatile solution; i.e., solar energy is utilized during the day, while fossil fuels provide backup power during periods of low sunlight or high demand.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54616,"journal":{"name":"Physics and Chemistry of the Earth","volume":"139 ","pages":"Article 103936"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143817449","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}

Among these, social integration risk, social network risk, rural social contact risk, and family relationship risk emerged as the most significant contributors to the overall risk profile. Risk assessments show consistent results, regardless of whether individual characteristics were controlled, highlighting the widespread nature of these challenges. A central risk scenario is the “urbanization dilemma,' where migrant workers face barriers to full urban integration while losing rural ties. This dilemma is driven by government policies, enterprise practices, and individual circumstances, leading to potential outcomes such as social disharmony, labor-capital conflicts, and risks of land loss and unemployment. To address these risks, a dual strategy of pre-prevention and post-control is proposed. Pre-prevention measures include promoting social integration, reforming land policies, and strengthening community support systems.

It provides a detailed comparative analysis of various climate indicators in Europe and globally, examining monthly and annual trends in key metrics. These indicators include air temperature (<em>T</em>), dew point temperature (<em>T</em><sub><em>d</em></sub>), wet bulb temperature (<em>T</em><sub><em>w</em></sub>), specific humidity (<em>q</em>), relative humidity (<em>RH</em>), water vapor partial pressure (<em>e</em>), dew point depression (<em>DPD</em>), air density (<em>ρ</em>), total column precipitable water (<em>TCPW</em>), and total precipitation (<em>TP</em>). The study's findings highlight significant changes in these climate indicators across Europe, revealing notable differences from global trends and offering detailed insights into regional variations in climate change impacts. <em>T</em>, <em>T</em><sub><em>d</em></sub>, <em>T</em><sub><em>w</em></sub>, <em>q</em>, <em>RH</em>, <em>e</em>, <em>DPD</em>, <em>ρ</em>, <em>TCPW</em>, and <em>TP</em> yearly anomalies relative to the 1991–2020 average for Europe in 2023 were found to be +1.0738 °C, +0.8497 °C, +0.8979 °C, +0.4338 g kg<sup>−1</sup>, -0.9414 %rh, +0.6612 hPa, +0.2241 °C, −0.0048 kg m<sup>−3</sup>, +1.2030 kg m<sup>−2</sup> and +0.0413 <em>m</em>, respectively.
