On 5–6 July 2017 (J17), an unusual series of rainfalls induced a concentration of precipitations in Northern Kyushu, Japan, reaching 516 mm in 24 h in Asakura City, a first in its history since the beginning of observation in 1976. This trigger...

Without proper data and standard methods, assessing and determining groundwater resources in mountains and flat dry plains is difficult for a region. In this study, a GIS-based groundwater resource assessment is deemed a viable option, so the Analyti...

The present study is based on the combination of field measurements with Copernicus Marine Service (CMS) data and numerical modeling approaches to assess the historical and actual variations of ocean parameters in the Oualidia lagoon in Morocco, incl...

Aquifers’ storability potential in Alice, comprising rocks of the Beaufort Group in the Karoo Supergroup, is examined based on the mineralogical and diagenetic implications of sandstones and mudstones. This investigation is focused on SEM + EDX...

The Southern Ocean waters exchange freshwater, nutrients, carbon, heat, and salt to the Equator and influence the global carbon budget. Therefore, it is essential to understand the variations in Southern Ocean circulation during the last deglacial pe...
