The Gross Ecosystem Product (GEP) represents the total value of goods and services supplied by ecosystems, serving as a key indicator that connects ecological well-being with economic development and supports the achievement of sustainable developmen...

The long-distance transport of wastewater in sewers inevitably leads to the formation of biofilms on the inner wall of sewers. Numerous studies have focused on analyzing the hydrogen sulfide, methane production, and emission patterns associated with...

Background: As a key structure for gully control on the Loess Plateau, check dams are designed to intercept sediment and reduce flood peaks without intentional water storage. However, persistent ponding zones have often formed upstream of dams in the...

Marine plastic pollution represents a critical ecological challenge, exerting long-lasting impacts on ecosystems, biodiversity, and human well-being. This study introduces the DEEP-PLAST project, an integrated AI-based framework designed for the dete...

Digitalization and intelligence have become pivotal in the realm of oil and gas field development, concomitant with a marked increase in the volume of fracturing-related documentation, the majority of which exists in unstructured form. This has given...

The analysis of rainfall-induced landslides, which involve complex interactions between hydrology, soil mechanics, and geometry, is still limited by simplifying assumptions in existing models. We introduced a numerical model that couples soil infiltr...

The systematic regulation of Polish gravel-bed watercourses, notably intensified in the latter half of the 20th century, coupled with extensive gravel extraction, have become one of the main factors leading to severe channel incision and degradation...

In practical engineering geophysics, anomalous bodies are typically three-dimensional (3-D) structures, making it inaccurate to represent the subsurface geoelectric model using a two-dimensional (2-D) assumption. Furthermore, the underlying mechanism...

Africa’s industries have been developing at a pace more rapid than other continents, including Asia, over the past two to three decades. This research investigated the industrial water use in 1987–2017 in twenty major African countries, r...

The extraction of lithium from salt flats such as the Salar de Atacama (SdA) has raised concerns about its potential impact on the local water balance. This study evaluates the possibility of including localized mining impacts on groundwater tables,...
