Integrated Surface Water–Groundwater Dynamics: Implications for Pollution Pathways, Prevention, and Environmental Control
Abstract: Water resources worldwide are increasingly threatened by pollution pressures amplified by climate change and intensified human activities. The vulnerability of surface water and groundwater systems to contamination is strongly governed by their dynamic hydrologic connectivity, which is often overlooked in pollution prevention and control frameworks. Rising global temperatures, altered precipitation regimes, land-use change, and intensified abstraction patterns modify recharge processes, flow paths, and contaminant transport mechanisms across environmental landscapes. This …

Climate Change and Urban Heat Islands in India: A Review Across Nine Urban Agglomerations
Abstract: Since 1901, anthropogenic climate change has raised India's mean surface temperatures by about 0.9°C, compounding warming. Rapid urbanization creates persistent Urban Heat Islands (UHIs), making cities dangerously hotter than rural areas. A combination of these forces presents acute thermal hazards to hundreds of millions of urban dwellers. The paper discusses the emergence and intensification of UHI in nine large Indian cities (Delhi-NCR, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and …

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 …

Rising Temperatures and Surface Mass Loss in Greenland: Implications for Regional Glacier Dynamics and Global Sea Level Rise
Abstract: In Greenland, the ice sheet serves as one of the strongest indicators of global climate change, with consistently rising temperatures driving it toward an even more negative mass balance. Over the last two decades, warmer conditions have exacerbated surface melting, darkened ice, and resulted in feedback stimulating further loss. This study assesses how those temperature trends—particularly during summer peak months—have impacted the stability of Greenland's ice, and then, more importantly, …
