Unravelling the long-term river health status of Kruger National Park Rivers using macroinvertebrate-based monitoring
Freshwater ecosystems face severe threats from pollution, habitat loss, and climate change. This study analyzes a decade of biomonitoring data (2010–2019) from Kruger National Park’s four rivers using SASS5, habitat, and physicochemical metrics to assess resilience against upstream human pressures.

Solving a mystery of Greenland’s melting ice sheet—what happens when models miss refreezing?
New field measurements and modeling show meltwater refreezing in Greenland’s bare ice may reduce runoff to surrounding oceans, highlighting a process climate models can incorporate for improved predictions of future sea-level rise.
