Embracing Multiple Ways of Knowing for Coastal and Fisheries Management
The weaving of diverse knowledge systems is an increasingly adopted approach in scientific research. Despite documented successes, skepticism among scientists and decision-makers persists, leaving unaddressed gaps.
Integration of geospatial technologies with multiple regression model for urban land use land cover change analysis and its impact on land surface temperature in Jimma City, southwestern Ethiopia
The planet earth is very dynamic due to continuous interaction with human beings. Human beings overexploit the natural resources for the sake of well-being. The overexploitation of natural resources leads to environmental problems.
The impact of renewable and non‑renewable energy consumption on aggregate output in Pakistan: robust evidence from the RALS cointegration test
This study investigates the impact of both non-energy factors and energy-specific factors on Pakistan’s aggregate output. By employing advanced econometric techniques such as the RALS cointegration test and ARDL methodology, the study explores the long-run relationships among these factors.
Why the strangely colored pond? The beginning of research on mine drainage
Our new paper "Treatment abandoned mine drainage can protect streams cost effectively and benefit vulnerable communities" establishes new facts on an issue affecting most communities with a legacy of mining. The work has its origins in a visit to property being sold for a low price.
Searching for hydrothermal vent archaea in the deep subsurface of Guaymas Basin
With increasing subseafloor depth, temperatures increase and impact microbial subsurface life. Will high subseafloor temperatures that approach hydrothermal vent conditions select for hydrothermal vent microbes, including hyperthermophiles? A comprehensive sequencing census is seeking the answer.
