The intensification of agriculture, coupled with unregulated fertilizer application and groundwater overexploitation, has led to widespread nitrate (NO3􀀀 ) contamination in many agrarian regions, including the Malwa region of Punjab, India. This study employs the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) system to simulate the spatio-temporal evolution...

Climate variability poses a serious challenge to the sustainability of fragile mountain ecosystems where local livelihoods are closely dependent on natural resources. However, limited studies have examined long-term trends and local perceptions of climate variability in the north-eastern region of Dimapur district of Nagaland state in India. Thus...

The Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD), a cornerstone of national food security, is increasingly affected by salinity intrusion arising from the combined influences of upstream hydropower development, climate change, and sea-level rise. Despite growing attention to this issue, the long-term hydrological mechanisms shaping these changes remain...

Effective disaster risk reduction in developing countries requires policies that are systematically informed by scientific evidence. This paper investigates how science–policy integration for disaster management and climate adaptation has been institutionalised in three international reference cases (Japan, the United States, and the Netherlands)...

Agricultural smoke from rice residue fires is now regarded as a dominant source of India’s autumn haze. Yet, the degree to which yield-driven intensification amplifies this pollution remains uncertain. To assess this environmental issue, there is an urgent need to analyze long-term datasets and to develop fine-grained fire-severity mapping. This...
