Persistent groundwater inflow threatens the preservation and management of the Osireion at Abydos, a major monument within the archaeological landscape of Upper Egypt. The study investigates the relative influence of short-term Nile-stage fluctuation...
Drainage ditches are widespread across agricultural landscapes and represent potentially important sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, systematic assessments of their global emission patterns and controlling factors remain limited. Th...
Hybrid renewable mini-grids and microgrids offer opportunities to improve electricity access, reduce fossil fuel dependence and support sustainable development. However, economically viable system configurations do not necessarily guarantee comprehen...
Food waste has global economic, environmental and social implications, and hence tackling food waste provides significant opportunities to achieve several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The literature has already documented several promising t...
Water circulation and exchange in shallow lakes can be restricted by complex bathymetry and human activities. However, the interaction between dynamic water replenishment strategies and complex bathymetry remains unclear. This study developed a two-d...
Source separation is central to Sustainable Development Goal targets 11.6 and 12.5, yet behavioural interventions are often implemented without establishing what proportion of the waste stream users can realistically separate. This study presents a 2...
Sustainable management of cascade reservoirs requires joint consideration of sediment attenuation and downstream nutrient delivery, yet their relationships during cascade completion remain insufficiently understood. Using monitoring data from four re...
The valorization of industrial by-products into heat-resistant ceramics offers a promising route for resource recovery and waste management. In this study, hydrolyzed aluminum salt slag (71.42–82.71 wt.%) was utilized alongside silica sand to s...
Energy inequality refers to disparities in household energy outcomes and in households’ ability to improve them. Research has paid limited attention to whether vulnerable households can actually access the measures designed to help them. Using...
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) account for a large share of business-related environmental pressure, yet the firm-level resources that distinguish more engaged from less engaged SMEs remain contested. Using Flash Eurobarometer 549 (2024),...
