Geography of Sand and Gravel Mining in the Lower Mekong River by Jean-Paul Bravard, Marc Goichot, Stéphane Gaillot

“…Sand and gravel mining from rivers has increased throughout the developed countries since at least the mid-1900s, for construction (concrete) and for landfill (railways, motorways, land reclamation in flooded areas, offshore reclamation). Over the past 30 years, this phenomenon has spread due to the economic development of countries such as China, India and other fast-growing economies of South-East Asia. …”

Comparison of Precipitation Rates from Global Datasets for the Five-Year Period from 2019 to 2023 by Heike Hartmann

“…Reliable climate information including accurate precipitation data is essential for identifying precipitation trends and variability as well as applying hydrologic models for purposes such as estimating (surface) water availability and predicting flooding. In this study, I compared precipitation rates from five reanalysis datasets and one analysis dataset—the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis Version 5 (ERA-5), the Japanese 55-Year Reanalysis (JRA-55), the Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications Version 2 (MERRA-2), the National Center for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research Reanalysis 1 (NCEP/NCAR R1), the NCEP/Department of Energy Reanalysis 2 (NCEP/DOE R2), and the NCEP/Climate Forecast System Version 2 (NCEP/CFSv2)—with the merged satellite and rain gauge dataset from the Global Precipitation Climatology Project in Version 2.3 (GPCPv2.3). …”

Soil moisture controls over carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions: a review by Yuefeng Hao, Jiafu Mao, Charles M. Bachmann, Forrest M. Hoffman, Gerbrand Koren, Haishan Chen, Hanqin Tian, Jiangong Liu, Jing Tao, Jinyun Tang, Lingcheng Li, Laibao Liu, Martha Apple, Mingjie Shi, Mingzhou Jin, Qing Zhu, Steve Kannenberg, Xiaoying Shi, Xi Zhang, Yaoping Wang, Yilin Fang, Yongjiu Dai

“…Soil moisture directly affects photosynthesis, respiration, microbial activity, and soil organic matter dynamics, with optimal levels enhancing carbon storage while extremes, such as drought and flooding, disrupt these processes. A quantitative analysis is provided on the effects of soil moisture on CS-GHG across various ecosystems and climatic conditions, highlighting a “Peak and Decline” pattern for CO₂ emissions at 40% water-filled pore space (WFPS), while CH₄ and N₂O emissions peak at higher levels (60–80% and around 80% WFPS, respectively). …”

Impact of land use changes on waterlogging disasters in the small urban watershed of Hangzhou by Rikun Wen, Liu Yang, Hexian Jin, Hao Tao, Chingaipe N’tani

“…New hydrological insights for the region: 1) Using the GSSHA model to simulate waterlogging disasters at the small urban watershed scale was effective. 2) The waterlogging points in a small watershed were mainly distributed in areas with high building density, low forest area, low elevation, and low surface permeability. The most severely flooded points were often very close to the river system. 3) LULC has a significant impact on the spatial distribution of waterlogging points in small urban watersheds: When the forest area increases, the bare land area decreases, the area of land converted from construction land to forest land increases, the depth of waterlogging decreases, and the infiltration depth increases. 4) The responses of waterlogging and infiltration depth to forest cover exhibit spatial variations under the same rainfall intensity. …”
