I argue that Joseph O’Neill’s Netherland is a novel offering fascinating criticisms of white, Eurocentric perspectives when understood within the context of research about conservative Caucasian responses to racial, ethnic, and national div…
This study investigates 210Pb- and 137Cs-dated sediment records to connect hydrologic drivers to mechanisms of coal ash release from waste storage ponds into three lakes in North Carolina. Originally constructed to provide cooling water for…
Climate-induced hazards in mountain systems rarely occur in isolation, instead they interact through cascading and compounding pathways that single-hazard assessments fail to capture. In Nepal, extreme monsoon rainfall can trigger landslide…
As the main gateway to the Arctic Ocean, the Fram Strait (FS) plays a critical role in regulating central Arctic–Atlantic water exchange and global climate dynamics. Paleoclimate reconstructions from this key region remain particularly chal…
Sustainable industrial transition requires productivity evidence that separates real efficiency improvement from scale expansion, capital deepening, and reporting change. This study develops a reproducible frontier-productivity diagnostic f…
Nepal has undergone significant land-use and land-cover (LULC) changes from 2000 to 2020, driven by urbanization, agricultural shifts, and broader socioeconomic dynamics. This study analyzes historical changes and projects LULC dynamics for…
Data centers are essential to modern infrastructure, but are significant contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) and related environmental challenges. Despite energy efficiency improvements, rising electricity demands driven by technologies li…
Predicting nutrient loads is essential to understanding and managing one of the environmental issues faced by the northern Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone, which poses a severe threat to the Gulf’s healthy ecosystem and economy. The development…
Algal blooms are caused by excessive levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and other plant nutrients in water. Algae and algal organic matter (AOM) pose a great threat to the quality of drinking water. This manuscript offers a systematic review o…
Over the past several decades, old industrialized regions worldwide have faced immense pressure to adapt to global economic shifts. Using one of China’s major industrial provinces, Hebei, as a representative case study, this study examines
Brownfields, abandoned or underutilized lands having the potential for contamination due to industrial activities, pose health risks to nearby residents and raise environmental justice (EJ) concerns. This study examines the relationship bet…
