This can also lead to efficiencies in monitoring effort as many MPAs are already the target of monitoring programmes for animal abundance or other stressors. Trends at these priority sites need to be set in the context of wider trends in noise pollution. In the case of shipping, such trends...
Fig. 1. Global map of underwater noise emissions from ships in 2019 (63 Hz 1/3 octave band, in Gigajoules). The labeled areas are 1: Baffin Sea with Milne mining operations; 2: Kara Sea with Yamal gas fields; 3: Palmer basin research stations; 4: Galapagos Islands; 5: Socotra Islan...
Water footprint (WF), a comprehensive indicator of water resources appropriation, has evolved as an efficient tool to improve the management and sustainability of water resources. This study quantifies the blue and green WF of major cereals crops in Indi
Indeed, there are some other geographical regions around the world—such as northeastern Brazil, India, and others—that are suffering from acute water stress, shortages, drought, and other problems which, hopefully, will be investigated by another research paper and compared with the regions ...
1). Three objectives were identified: (i) to map stakeholder interest in and influence over the management of water and other natural resources; (ii) to identify the mechanisms and initiatives that support successful collaboration and promote synergies between users, regulators and managers of water...
The aim of this paper is to map the vulnerability of this aquifer to marine intrusion, based on the proven methodology of the GALDIT model for coastal aquifers combined with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The GALDIT methodology requires six input parameters: groundwater occurrence (G), ...

The challenge is that vegetation responses to groundwater changes can vary substantially over time and space due to natural seasonal and interannual groundwater fluctuations, species-specific tolerance and adaptations to water stress and the existence of supplemental water sources such as surface water, ...
More than two billion people worldwide have suffered thyroid disorders from either iodine deficiency or excess. By creating the national map of groundwater iodine throughout China, we reveal the spatial responses of diverse health risks to iodine in cont
includes scenario planning, learning-based approaches, flexible and low-regret solutions, reduction of non-climate stressors on water resources; strengthening of institutional capacities for demand management, groundwater assessments, integrated water-wastewater planning, integrated land and water governance, ...
