Driven by a combination of anthropogenic activities and climate changes, near- surface terrestrial winds displayed a large decrease in their magnitude in the past decades, named “stilling”, and a recent recovery in their ...

Ice sheets are disintegrating due to global warming. One factor controlling ice-sheet behavior is the processes active beneath the ice sheet. In particular, processes connected to glacial meltwater drainage are essential ...

Addition of fertiliser nitrogen (N) in crop production increases yields and protein contents, but all is not taken up by the crop. Instead, some of the N is lost to air and waters, contributing e.g. to climate change, ...

The Norra Kärr alkaline complex in southern Sweden (58°06’N, 14°34’E) is a classic occurrence of agpaitic rocks, which contains a large mineral deposit of rare-earth elements (REE), Zr, and Nb. The complex consists of ...

Increasing magnitude and frequency of climate extremes under global warming are threatening the socioeconomic development in many parts of the world. The Mekong River Basin (MRB) is a good example for how climate extremes ...

Hydrogeological investigations and in particular groundwater resource assessments are strongly reliant on understanding the factors controlling groundwater level dynamics. However, historical records of measured groundwater ...

The Tibetan Plateau (TP) and surrounding regions are known as the ``Third Pole'' because of their polar-like environment and large reservoirs of fresh water. Due to the latter aspect, the TP is also considered the ``Water ...

The intensifying impacts of climate change on human health represent a significant and pressing global health threat of the current century. This encompasses both short and long-term effects on human health, as well as ...

Climate change will alter the hydrological cycle, potentially changing dynamic groundwater storage and increasing groundwater drought risk. Climate influences groundwater storage directly via changes in groundwater ...

Climate change in mountain regions has far-reaching societal impacts such as increased risks for natural hazards and water scarcity that may affect billions of people in the downstream regions. Precipitation changes play ...
