A worldwide meta-analysis review of restriction criteria for landfill siting using geographic information systems.
One of the most crucial parts of solid waste management is determining landfill site location, since multiple factors must be considered and there is no universal formula. The main purpose of this study is to make a worldwide systematic review of restriction criteria used for landfill siting using g...

Carbon and Beyond: The Biogeochemistry of Climate in a Rapidly Changing Amazon.
The Amazon Basin is at the center of an intensifying discourse about deforestation, land-use, and global change. To date, climate research in the Basin has overwhelmingly focused on the cycling and storage of carbon (C) and its implications for global climate. Missing, however, is a more comprehensi...

Spatio-temporal variation of the phytoplankton community in a tropical estuarine gradient, under the influence of river damming.
The Paraguaçu River is one of the most important rivers in Bahia State, Brazil, and the main tributary of the Todos os Santos Bay, the second largest in that country. We evaluated the spatio-temporal variations in the composition and structure of the phytoplankton community in the Paraguaçu River ...

Land-use impacts of Brazilian wind power expansion.
While wind power is a low-carbon renewable energy technology with relatively little land footprint, the necessary infrastructure expansion still has land-related environmental impacts. Brazil has seen more than a ten-fold increase in wind power capacity in the last decade. However, little is known a...

How well does the HadGEM2-ES coupled model represent the Southern Hemisphere storm tracks?.
This study presents an assessment of the ability of the Hadley Centre Global Environment Model version 2-Earth system configuration (HadGEM2-ES)-in simulating the mid-latitude storm tracks over the Southern Hemisphere (SH). The storm tracks are primarily assessed using cyclone tracking using data fr...

Tropical peatlands and their contribution to the global carbon cycle and climate change.
Peatlands are carbon-rich ecosystems that cover 185423 million hectares (Mha) of the earth's surface. The majority of the world's peatlands are in temperate and boreal zones, whereas tropical ones cover only a total area of 90170 Mha. However, there are still considerable uncertainties in C stock es...

Spectral impact on PV in low-latitude sites: the case of southeastern Brazil.
The spectral impact on various PV materials eamorphous silicon (a-Si), CdTe, CIGS, single crystalline silicon (sc-Si) and multi crystalline (mc-Si)e in two nearby cities of Southeastern Brazil is presented. For every PV technology studied, the values of the spectral mismatch factor on instantaneous,...

How norms, needs, and power in science obstruct transformations towards sustainability.
After decades of inadequate responses to scientists' warnings about global environmental threats, leading analysts of the science-policy interface are seeking an important shift of research focus. This switch is from continued modeling and diagnoses of biogeochemical conditions in favor of enhanced ...

Functional rather than taxonomic diversity reveals changes in the phytoplankton community of a large dammed river.
River damming reduces the dispersal rates of biota and filter species by altering the local environmental conditions. Although phytoplankton is a key biotic group to indicate changes in aquatic environments, the effects of river damming on the longitudinal distribution of phytoplankton communities a...
