Long-term development of a perennial firn aquifer on the Lomonosovfonna ice cap, Svalbard by T. van den Akker, T. van den Akker, W. van Pelt, R. Petterson, V. A. Pohjola

“…We find that the aquifer was present in 1957 and that it steadily grew over the modeled period with a relative increase of about 15 % in water table depth. On an annual basis, the aquifer exhibits sharp water table increases during the melt season, followed by slow seepage through the cold season.…”

Spatiotemporal Variation Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Water Transparency in the Pilot Zone of Yangtze River Delta by WANG Yu, ZHOU Wei-qi, BAI Meng-yu, SU Han, HU Wei

“…The negative correlation between TP and SD was particularly significant in lake water (R=-0.71), and the C3 component (humic-like substances) of dissolved organic matter (DOM) shared a common origin with TP (R=0.64), indicating that TP in lake water mainly originated from soil erosion and surface runoff input. …”

Comprehensive Assessment of Drought Susceptibility Using Predictive Modeling, Climate Change Projections, and Land Use Dynamics for Sustainable Management by Jinping Liu, Mingzhe Li, Renzhi Li, Masoud Jafari Shalamzari, Yanqun Ren, Esmaeil Silakhori

“…These aggravated risks are compounded with land use transitions from rangelands to bare land, mostly in Aqqala and Gomishan, besides urban expansion in Bandar-e Torkman and Bandar Gaz, all of which face less groundwater recharge and increased surface runoff. Golestan’s drought vulnerability has both local and regional impacts, with its increased susceptibility affecting neighboring communities and ecosystems. …”
