Despite being a limited resource, pollution, poor management, and other drivers like climate
change make available water unsuitable and insufficient for human consumption and ecosystem
maintenance. Therefore, a transdisciplinary approach is needed for managing this precious resource.
The overall aim of this paper is to address water inequalities...

Climate change and shifts in land use/land cover (LULC) are critical factors affecting the environmental, societal, and health landscapes, notably
influencing the spread of infectious diseases. This study delves into the intricate relationships between climate change, LULC alterations, and the
prevalence of vector-borne and waterborne diseases in...

The main aim of this study is to comprehensively analyze the dynamics of land use
and land cover (LULC) changes in the Bathinda region of Punjab, India, encompassing historical,
current, and future trends. To forecast future LULC, the Cellular Automaton–Markov Chain (CA)
based on artificial neural network (ANN) concepts was used using...

This study delves into the patterns of urban expansion in Kabul, using Landsat and Sentinel
satellite imagery as primary tools for analysis. We classified land use and land cover (LULC) into
five distinct categories: water bodies, vegetation, barren land, barren rocky terrain, and buildings.
The necessary data processing and analysis was...

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic
has presented unprecedented challenges to global health and economic stability. Intriguingly, the
necessary lockdown measures, while disruptive to human society, inadvertently led to environmental
rejuvenation, particularly noticeable in decreased air pollution...

Crafting a comprehensive strategy to mitigate the impact of droughts, a complex geo-hazard
profoundly affecting socio-economic aspects, entails the creation of a drought vulnerability map as
a primary step. This study harmonizes geospatial techniques and the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy
Process (fuzzy AHP) to formulate such a map for northwestern...

The NH 58 area in India has been experiencing an increase in landslide occurrences, posing
significant threats to local communities, infrastructure, and the environment. The growing need to
identify areas prone to landslides for effective disaster risk management, land use planning, and
infrastructure development has led to the increased...

Coastal social-ecological systems (SES) are essential for the wellbeing of coastal communities and the wider
society. However, in many parts of the world coastal SES face rapid change, and ultimately degradation. In this
paper we unravel the mechanisms and implications of change in coastal SESmobilising multiple sources of
knowledge, including...

Study region: Bosten Lake (Xinjiang, China).
Study focus: This paper mainly focuses on quantifying changes in water storage of Bosten Lake
using multi-mission satellite data. From Landsat images, we firstly extracted the lake area changes
between 2003 and 2022 with the help of the modified normalized difference water index
(MNDWI); Secondly, we...

Charcoal is a fuelwood commonly used for domestic purposes on the household scale
in Africa and Southeast Asia. Earnings from charcoal production contribute to the income of local
inhabitants in rural areas. Unfortunately, airborne emissions from the traditional charcoal-making
process affect both human health and the ambient environment. A...
