Abstract:

The settling velocity (Ws) is a fundamental parameter in sediment dynamics, particularly in the coastal zones as estuarine and mangrove ecosystems, where various physical processes interact to influence sediment transport and deposition. Determining settling velocity is essential for understanding and predicting sediment transport, erosion–deposition processes in coastal environments. This study aims to determine the settling...

There are global concerns about the significant increase in the concentrations of heavy elements due to the increase in agricultural, urban and industrial activities, which poses a threat to the natural environment and humans. This study focused on studying the addition of humic acid and different levels of zinc on the presence of zinc in... More

Abstract:

As part of the continuity of our floristic work carried out between June 2021 and July 2024 in the Ouezzane region, we carried out a botanical study in the western part of the Izarene massif, which is part of the Prerif-Moyen Sebou region and corresponds to the Maroc atlantique nord-1 (Man-1) division. Field surveys of... More

Abstract:

Climate change impact serious threats to global food security due to changes in water requirements resulting from the variation and instability of the spatial and temporal distribution of rainfall and the lack of water availability. Therefore, our research aims to use anti-transpiration agents that reduce plant water consumption, thus providing adequate amounts of water for... More

Abstract:

Fireworks and pyrotechnics are an integral part of the New Year celebration that take place both in cities and rural areas as well. Depending on the meteorological conditions, these activities can raise air pollutant concentrations in ambient atmosphere. In order to estimate the size of this increase, air pollutant concentrations from up to 61 air... More

Abstract:

Climate change has various effects on the global food supply and the  environment as a whole. Similarly, the production of fish like Rainbow Trout is affected by variation in the atmospheric temperature higher than 21^oC, leading to fluctuations in yield. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the impact of average atmospheric temperature on Rainbow Trout... More

Abstract:

The use of digital technologies in the water sector has proved revolutionary in water management but also opens up critical infrastructure to cyber threats, with extreme risks to public health, economic instability, and even forced migration. Therefore, this paper will address how cybersecurity vulnerabilities intersect with migration through case studies from various regions like Norway,... More

Abstract:

Barren land is non-productive land that is difficult to use as a medium for integrated agricultural cultivation. The aim of this research is to determine the profile and feasibility status of land in barren agricultural areas quantitatively. The research method used was descriptive with purposive data collection. Data analysis included SQI and WQI parametric analyses.... More

Abstract:

With increasing concerns about climate change and its profound implications for water resources, stochastic modeling of wet and dry spells has emerged as a critical domain within hydrology and climatology, providing insight into the temporal patterns of precipitation and drought occurrences. This review of the literature synthesizes recent advances in the modeling of wet and... More

Abstract:

Climate change poses a threat to the global ecosystem. Many countries adopt various approaches, including ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA), to address this problem. However, the assessment of the effectiveness of the EbA interventions is conducted manually, is resource-intensive, and is focused on short-term outputs. These limitations underscore a critical gap: the need for a comprehensive, automated... More

Abstract:

Cement production is an important industrial activity that generates large amounts of pollutants, including, among others, polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs). These environmental contaminants are persistent and bioaccumulative, potentially causing serious adverse effects on human health, including cancer. The present paper was aimed at providing an update of the environmental concentrations of PCDD/Fs around various... More

Abstract:

From the perspective of the thin shell droplet dynamics and based on the geographical and morphological data of the vast area from east to west Asia, this study suggests a tangential impact event of a quartzite asteroid with 430km diameter which may explain the formation of all basins, plateaus, mountains, Gobi and deserts northeast from...

Abstract:

The study aimed to isolate A.brasilense bacteria from the soil of the rhizosphere of different plants and different locations in Al-Diwaniyah Governorate. They were identified in two ways. The first was the routine method, which included studying the microscopic and cultural characteristics and biochemical tests of the isolates. The second method was molecular, using polymerase chain... More

Abstract:

Understanding the mineral composition and distribution of river deposits is crucial for environmental management, resource utilization, and geological studies. This study aims to investigate the mineral composition and distribution of silt and oxides in the deposits of the Shatt al-Arab River, specifically in the Faw area of Basra Governorate. Samples were collected from depths of... More

Abstract:

Sinkholes have frequently occurred around soluble rock formations, but they have been indirectly related to imprudent human practices, based on long-standing recognition. The aim of this study was to explore how to improve sinkhole hazard management to decrease the extent of related risks. The main methodology was a systematic literature review that identified and synthesized the... More

Abstract:

The activity concentrations of natural radionuclides in drinking water may be enhanced depending on the geological strata from which it is extracted. The demand and consumption of bottled drinking water is increasing every year in Uganda mainly in Kampala city. Therefore, the study was purposed to assess the levels of natural radioactivity using a gamma... More

Abstract:

Niamey sandstones belong to a group of formations of Neoproterozoic-age, located on the Man shield northeastern margin. They sporadically outcrop along the Niger river valley. These geological formations, which occupy a central position in relation to the Taoudenni basin (further north) and the Voltas basin (further south), share similarities with the formations of the aforementioned basins....

Abstract:

Land utilization without considering suitability can lead to capital loss and environmental degradation. Effective land use planning is crucial for managing environmental resources. The present study in three counties of Fars Province in southern Iran confidently assessed the ecological capability for industrial, rural, and urban development. This study employed a rigorous methodology to examine six general... More

Abstract:

One nation in sub-Saharan Africa that is vulnerable to the adverse consequences of climate change is Cameroon. The government of Cameroon has been funding the building of hydroelectric dam infrastructure for many years in an effort to expand the energy sector, which generates revenue and jobs and aims to make the nation a rising nation...

Abstract:

The research investigates the evolving context of Metro Rail Transit (MRT) systems, using a thorough bibliometric analysis to identify patterns, trends, and significant contributors impacting scholarly debate. The study focuses on the effects of MRT systems in metropolitan cities, looking at both existing studies and new areas for future research. The primary goals are to... More

Abstract:

Land conversions or land use changes also become the main cause of the decline in Citarum River conditions. The relationship between river sustainability and its watershed carrying capacity plays a vital role in protecting watersheds to implement sustainable water resources management. Previous studies on river assessment for watershed management have predominantly focused on specific hydrological... More

Abstract:

The main interactions of the Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) variations with the climatic system are considered. This research introduced new physically based indexes for 11-year cycles: the integral relative energetic power of the cycles solar activity (SA) and TSI, as well as the cycle-weighted mean value both of the TSI and sunspot number. The observed cycle-average...
