Spatio-temporal modeling of urban flood inundation using eigenvector filtering and google earth engine: a probabilistic framework for sub-district-level risk assessment

Spatiotemporal dynamics of urbanisation induced environmental quality in arid city using a grid-based analysis in Jodhpur India from 2001 to 2021

Rapid urbanisation in arid regions intensifies heat exposure, vegetation loss, and particulate pollution, yet medium-sized desert cities remain underrepresented in integrated environmental assessments. We quantified spatiotemporal changes in environmental quality in Jodhpur, India, from 2001 to 2021 using a novel grid-...

Nonlinear Drivers and Interaction Patterns of Land Surface Temperature in a Coastal Mountainous City: A Mountain–Sea–City Perspective

Against the backdrop of global warming and rapid urban development, urban thermal conditions have become an increasingly important challenge for sustainable planning, particularly in coastal mountainous cities with complex geographic settings. Taking the main urban area of Yantai, China, as a case study, this study int...

Spatial structure in urban water consumption: A Bayesian space-time analysis of Bogotá (2019–2024)

In this study, we apply fully Bayesian spatio-temporal models to locality-level water consumption in Bogotá, Colombia, from 2019 through 2024. An additive model identifies spatial differences after adjusting for common temporal dynamics and city-wide climatic and socioeconomic time series. Because these covariates ar...

Cross-regional assessment of urban flood vulnerability in climate-exposed coastal megacities: Casablanca, Morocco, and Jakarta, Indonesia

Spatio-Temporal Groundwater Levels in Megacity Delhi (2010–2022): Implications for Urban Drinking-Water Services (DWSF)

Rapid urbanization across global South megacities has accelerated the overexploitation of urban aquifers, creating complex socio-hydrological crises that threaten long-term water resilience for a vast population. Conventional urban-water management frequently relies on uniform, city-wide regulatory mandates that fail t...

Surface Thermal State, Antecedent Hydroclimate, and Post-Fire Vegetation–Water Response in the Zambezi River Basin: A Multi-Source Environmental Time-Series Analysis

Wildfire in African savannas reflects coupled surface thermal, hydroclimatic, vegetation, and disturbance processes, but basin-scale time-series analyses can overstate mechanisms when temporal dependence and spatial heterogeneity are ignored. We assembled a monthly 2003–2024 multi-source environmental dataset for the Z...
