Exploring urban land surface temperature with geospatial and regression modelling techniques in Uttarakhand using SVM, OLS and GWR models

Waiza Khalid, Syed Kausar Shamim, Ateeque Ahmad · 1 Jan 2024

Given the climate change challenges, Uttarakhand has become crucial for examining land dynamics and regional climate interactions. This study employed a Support Vector Machine (SVM) for land use and land cover mapping for 2024, achieving 94% accuracy and a Kappa coefficient of 0.90, indicating robust mapping. Key land indices such as NDVI, NDWI, NDBI, NDSI,…

A multidisciplinary approach to resolving the end-Guadalupian extinction

Christopher R. Fielding, Scott E. Bryan, James L. Crowley et al. · 12 Oct 2023

The transition from the middle to late Permian (Guadalupian–Lopingian) is claimed to record one or more extinction events that rival the ‘Big Five’ in terms of depletion of biological diversity and reorganization of ecosystem structure. Yet many questions remain as to whether the events recorded in separate regions were synchronous, causally related, or were of…

Uncertainties in the debate on the environmental impact of lithium brine extraction in the Salar de Atacama, Chile

Mirko van Pampus, Bárbara Hogenboom, Carina Hoorn et al. · 17 Nov 2023

The global energy transition has dramatically increased the demand for raw materials, including lithium. The largest global reserves of lithium are situated in the salt flats of the Atacama Desert in Chile and the current boom is expected to result in an increase in production. Local communities and environmental NGOs fear a destabilisation of the…

Watershed resilience to climate change: From hillslopes to rivers and coasts

Paolo Tarolli, Giulia Zuecco, Lorenzo Picco · 4 Sep 2023

Climate is changing rapidly, resulting in more frequent and extreme weather events, such as prolonged megadroughts or flash droughts, intense rainfall events causing floods and landslides, heavy snowfalls, and windstorms. With a rising global population and increased levels of urbanization, the socio-economic consequences of these changes to Earth's surface processes are severe and have a…

Comparative taphonomy of Kem Kem Group (Cretaceous) pterosaurs of southeast Morocco

Roy E. Smith, David M. Martill, Nick Longrich et al. · 8 Aug 2023

Although diverse, disparate, widespread, and long-lived, our understanding of the Mesozoic pterosaurs is heavily biased by specimens from Konservat-Lagerstätten. Here we consider the pterosaur assemblage of the mid-Cretaceous Kem Kem Group of southeast Morocco and compare its taphonomy to other Cretaceous pterosaur-bearing assemblages. The Kem Kem Group pterosaur bones are usually fragmentary and isolated but…
