With advances in technological sciences, individuals can utilize low-cost air monitoring sensors to record air quality at homes, schools, and businesses. Air quality data collected from LCSs are publicly accessible, informing the community of the air...

In this paper, the wind direction ($WD$) behaviour with respect to the variability of other meteorological parameters (i.e., rainfall (R), temperature (T), relative humidity ($Rh$), solar radiation ($SR$) and wind speed (U)) was studied in a multi-scale wa...

The Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) effect refers to the difference in Land Surface Temperature (LST) between an urban area and its surrounding non-urban area. LST can provide detailed information on the variations in different types of land cover....

Constructed wetlands (CWs) are nature-based solutions that utilize natural vegetation, soils, and microbes to treat domestic wastewater and industrial effluents. They are engineered treatment systems that mimic the functions of natural wetlands to ca...

Fungi are a diverse and fascinating group of organisms that play an important role in various ecosystems, e.g., in the decomposition of organic matter and nutrient cycling. However, climate change poses a significant threat to these ecosystems and th...

Sea-level rise, population growth, and changing land-use patterns will further constrain Florida’s already scarce groundwater and surface water supplies in the coming decades. Significant investments in water supply and water demand management...

Due to the limited reach of the drinking-water delivery network, Yaoundé’s surrounding communities (such as Nkoabang) rely on well water, boreholes, and springs. This study conducted a Thornthwaite water-balance analysis in the watershed...

Globally, the seasonal snow cover is the areal largest, the most short-lived and the most variable part of the cryosphere. Remote sensing proved to be a reliable tool to investigate their short-term variations worldwide. The medium-resolution sensor...
