Designing sustainability under Earth-system rate constraints
Sustainability debates are monopolized by quantities: total energy use, material stocks, or recycling volumes.Generative and deterministic deep learning models comparison for fine-scale precipitation retrievals from infrared brightness temperature
Accurate precipitation estimation at fine spatial scales is critical for hydrology, agriculture, and climate studies.Nutrient Competition as a General Mechanism of Regulation in Photosymbiosis
Nitrogen limitation is a key mechanism regulating the mutualism between photosymbiotic cnidarians and their algal symbionts.Three dimensional non-singular mollified elastic dislocation theory for extended width fault zones and inhomogeneous boundary element models
Classical elastic dislocation theory (CEDT) has two challenges when applied to faulting problems: 1) fictitious on-fault stresses not defined by ordinary integration and 2) the geometric unreality…When a high-mountain slope failure cascades downstream: physical footprint and evolving exposure of the 2026 Gyirong mixed rock-ice cascade
The 26 August 2026 Gyirong cascade connected a high-mountain failure to developed downstream valleys.Beyond species area curves: a theoretical approach to the relationship between diversity and area
Species area curves, which describe the number of species present as a function of area, have long been used to understand biodiversity and inform conservation efforts.Learning the Shoreline: A Very High-Resolution Approach to Reef Island Dynamics
Pacific atoll islets are often described as stable in global-scale studies, typically based on long-term shoreline proxies such as vegetation line or morphometrics like planform surface area.Multiphase Reactive Transport in a Heterogeneous Flow Field: Channel Formation in Hydrocarbon-Bearing Carbonate Rock
Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is a key approach for reducing anthropogenic CO2 emissions.EarthLD: Towards Unified Open-World Landslide Understanding via Vision-Language Guided Diffusion Models
Landslides are widespread geological hazards, yet their automated detection and mapping in remote sensing imagery remain challenging because of their irregular morphology, ambiguous spectral…Early Warning Signals Can Vanish or Amplify: Dimensionality in Complex Systems
Early warning signals (EWS), such as increasing variance and autocorrelation, are widely used to anticipate critical transitions associated with saddle-node bifurcations.Random Forest-Informed Cellular Automaton for Large-Scale Wildfire Spread Modelling
Accurate large-scale wildfire spread modelling requires models that capture both the environmental conditions associated with fire occurrence and the local dynamics of fire propagation.Camera trap classification with deep learning under ground truth uncertainty
Supervised deep learning methods enable the rapid processing of ecological image data, but depend on a costly annotation process.Foundation Models Meet Agriculture: Challenges Beyond Pretraining
Global food security and sustainable climate action increasingly rely on robust, scalable agricultural monitoring.Dimensionality-induced critical phase transition in stochastic Lotka-Volterra equation: From statistical averaging to systemic tipping point
By analyzing a stochastic Lotka-Volterra (LV) equation, we show that the underlying logic behind the diversity-stability debate in ecology can be framed as a dimensionality-induced critical phase…A Controlled Evaluation of Model Rankings and Input Reliance in Surface Water Segmentation
Performance evaluation for surface-water segmentation commonly uses an aggregate metric such as global intersection-over-union (IoU) to rank model configurations.AQ3D: Adaptive Query Transformer for 3D Instance Segmentation
Transformer-based decoders for 3D instance segmentation typically commit to a fixed number of queries and positional modeling calibrated on the training distribution rather than on the scene at hand.AI-enabled Low-Cost 3D Maize Ear Morphometry Platform at Breeding Scale
Maize ear geometry (length, width, curvature, and volume) is closely tied to yield and grain-filling outcomes, but existing high-throughput phenotyping pipelines remain constrained by the cost…Reconciling the Lack of a Robust Anvil Cloud Amount Response to Warming
The stability-iris hypothesis proposes that tropical anvil cloud amount decreases with warming as anvils rise into environments of greater static stability.
