This study aimed to investigate the physical factors influencing the occurrence of forest fires and to create a fire risk map of Phrae Province. Remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) technology were applied for the analysis, focusing...
Outdoor activities are significantly influenced by meteorological conditions. Human tower exhibitions are performed in urban squares. Human towers were recognised as an Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 2010. The objectives of this study are...
Urban boundary delineation is essential for understanding spatial structure, monitoring urbanization, and guiding sustainable land management. Nighttime light (NTL) data effectively capture urban dynamics across multiple spatial scales. This study in...
Historical water infrastructures represent an overlooked cultural heritage of extraordinary importance, encompassing centuries of technical knowledge deeply intertwined with the landscape and social life. Matera stands out as a case study of internat...
Wildfire behavior and post-fire effects are strongly modulated by terrain, yet the relative influence of individual topographic factors on burn severity remains incompletely quantified at landscape scales. The Composite Burn Index (CBI) provides a fi...
Market gardening plays a crucial role in ensuring food security and reducing poverty in Africa’s rapidly urbanizing regions. However, urban agricultural systems are increasingly threatened by climatic shocks such as floods, droughts, and heat w...
Climate change affects all human and ecological systems. The rapid climate impacts are increasingly evident on all economic activities, including tourism. Regarding the fact that “the window is closing”, climate resilience is urgently nee...
Fast fashion is a rapidly expanding sector characterized by high production volumes, low costs, and short product lifecycles. While recent efforts have focused on improving sustainability within supply chains, consumer behavior remains a critical yet...
Flood impacts are intensifying due to the increasing frequency and severity of factors such as severe weather events, climate change, and unplanned urbanization. This study focuses on Briar Creek in Charlotte, North Carolina, an area historically aff...
This study investigates how land access, inheritance expectations, and socio-economic conditions influence migration intentions of rural youth in central Vietnam. Drawing on survey data from 200 young respondents and employing logistic regression ana...
The Cau River Basin in northeastern Vietnam is an ecologically and economically important watershed, yet it has lacked comprehensive hydrological modelling to date. Characterised by highly complex topography, diverse land use/land cover, and limited...
Climate change represents one of the main challenges of this century. The hazards generated by this process are various and involve territorial assets all over the globe. Hydrogeological risk represents one of these aspects, and the violence of rain...
An indicator-based approach was implemented to assess the contributions of soils in supplying ecosystem services, providing a scalable tool for modeling the spatial heterogeneity of soil functions at regional and local scales. The method consisted of...
The depletion of water resources caused by climate change and human activities is a pressing global issue. Lake Ereen is one of the ten natural landmarks of the Gobi-Altai of western Mongolia is included in the list of “important areas for bird...
The prevailing environmental conditions before and during the 28 Large Forest Fires (LFFs) that have occurred in the Canary Islands since 1983 are analyzed. These conditions are often associated with episodes characterized by the advection of contine...
Sustainable Development Reserves are organized units in the Amazon that are essential for the proper use and sustainable management of the region’s natural resources and for the livelihoods and economy of the local communities. This study aims...
This study was conducted in the northeast of the Tadla plain, within the Beni Mellal-Khenifra region of Morocco. The primary objective is to elucidate the geometric and hydrogeological characteristics of this aquifer by analyzing and interpreting dat...
The Quaternary saw numerous reorganizations of the hydrographic network, greatly modifying the hydrological network of these rivers. Eastern France is well known for many stream captures, described as early as the late 19th century. The oldest of the...
The Chacopampean Plain is a major physiographic unit in Argentina, bounded by the Colorado River to the south, the Sierras Pampeanas and Subandinas to the west, and the Paraná River, Río de la Plata Estuary, and the Argentine Sea to the...
This study explores the water harvesting systems of mgouds in southern Tunisia and boqueras in southeastern Spain to understand their adaptation to semi-arid conditions and geomorphic contexts. These systems use ephemeral water through medieval-origi...
Indonesia faces significant challenges in meeting food security targets due to rapid agricultural land loss, with approximately 1.22 million hectares of rice fields converted between 1990 and 2022. Therefore, this study developed a prediction model f...
Wildfires play a pivotal role in shaping and regulating the structural characteristics of forest ecosystems. This study examined post-fire vegetation dynamics following the 2020 Bighorn Fire in the Santa Catalina Mountains, Arizona, USA, by integrati...
Erosion represents a significant global threat to coastal zones, especially beaches, which are among the most valuable coastal landforms. This study evaluates the vulnerability to coastal erosion along the Brazilian Amazon coast, focusing on eight re...
The vulnerability framework developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) defines vulnerability as a function of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. Building off this framework, the Connecticut Institute for Resilience a...
In this study, we selected a series of pothole wetlands to investigate their nucleation, evolution, and recent anthropogenic degradation in the Alcores Depression (AD), southern Iberian Peninsula, where over 100 closed watersheds containing shallow,...
