Elemental Mobility and Provenance in Sediments: A Geochemical Study of Deccan Basalts, Bay of Bengal, and Northern China
Abstract: Twenty-eight sediment samples from seventeen rivers, including the Krishna headwaters and the west-flowing Western Ghat rivers, draining the Deccan Trap basalts, were analyzed for major elements (Na, Ca, Mg, K, Al, Ti, Fe) and trace elements (Sr, Ba, Mn, P, V, Cr, Ni, Cu, and Zn). The mobility of these elements, especially Na, Ca, Mg, and Sr, was assessed by comparing their abundances in sediments and dissolved phases. Approximately 60% …

Effective Strategies for Sustainable Soil and Water Management: Enhancing Agricultural Productivity and Environmental Conservation
Abstract: Soil and water are essential natural resources, and their degradation due to erosion, overgrazing and other factors is ongoing. Water erosion is influenced by climate, topography, vegetation and soil, while wind erosion is affected by wind characteristics, surface features, topography and soil properties. Unsustainable land and water management practices lead to reduced soil fertility, soil loss, lower crop yields, water depletion, deforestation, and diminished biomass. Of the 1386 million cubic …

Increasing Total Solar Irradiance on Far Future Climate: General Atmospheric Circulation
Abstract: The total solar irradiation at the top of the atmosphere is the primary forcing mechanism for the Earth's Climate System. In this work, we used the addition of 10% in the radiation value (from 1360 Wm−2 to 1496 Wm−2) to simulate the Earth's climate system in the habitable zone inner orbit. Two tenyear- long fully coupled simulations using the Community Earth System Model were performed; the CONTROL experiment was configured …

Multifunctional and Photocatalytic Properties of DyFeO₃/Dy₃Fe₅O₁₂ Biphasic Nanoparticles
Abstract: Rare-earth orthoferrites constitute a class of compounds that exhibit remarkable magnetic, optical, and electronic properties across a wide temperature range. In the present study, a dysprosium-based orthoferrite containing dual phases of DyFeO₃ perovskite and Dy₃Fe₅O₁₂ garnet was successfully synthesized via the co-precipitation technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was employed to investigate the structural configuration of the synthesized material. The diffraction pattern confirmed the formation of a biphasic composite comprising orthorhombic …

Intelligent Earth: AI As A Catalyst For Climate Action
Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is assuming an increasingly influential role in climate science, providing advanced tools capable of interpreting vast, complex, and multi-dimensional environmental datasets. Traditional climate modeling approaches, while grounded in physical principles, frequently struggle to deliver high-resolution, real-time, and region-specific forecasts because of heavy computational demands, incomplete observations, and uncertainties in representing small -- scale processes. Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, especially machine learning and deep learning, provide strong substitutes …
