text: As climate change intensifies, cities globally are experiencing more severe
rainfall and frequent pluvial floods. Urban expansion is altering the permeability
of the land, thus increasing the risk of flooding. This study investigates the
impact of urban morphology on pluvial floodwater distribution in 15 urban catchments
across England, UK, to provide an analysis of how urban morphology influences
flood magnitude. Using a cellular automata-based model, pluvial flood simulations
were conducted for catchments characterized by diverse urban morphologies. Then
a series of machine learning models were adopted to reveal the relationships between
the morphological characteristics of urban configurations (e.g., building footprints,
impervious surfaces, street network, topography) and pluvial flooding. These models
were used to identify and quantify the effects of key urban morphological indicators
on pluvial flooding. The results indicate that, although the total area of impervious
surfaces plays the most significant role in floodwater distribution, the edge
density (ED) of building footprints and impervious surfaces also influences this
process. Synthetic experiments with an exemplary urban fabric show that decreasing
“ED of building footprint” and increasing “ED of impervious surface” can mitigate
flood volume by up to 6.3 % at 100 % drainage efficiency and 7.8 % at 50 % efficiency.
The results of this study are anticipated to aid urban planners and policymakers
in developing strategies for implementing flood-resilient cities.

text: Acanthocephalans, intestinal parasites of vertebrates, are characterised by
orders of magnitude higher metal accumulation than free-living organisms, but
the mechanism of such effective metal accumulation is still unknown. The aim of
our study was to gain new insights into the high-resolution localization of elements
in the bodies of acanthocephalans, thus taking an initial step towards elucidating
metal uptake and accumulation in organisms under real environmental conditions.
For the first time, nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS) was used
for high-resolution mapping of 12 elements (C, Ca, Cu, Fe, N, Na, O, P, Pb, S,
Se, and Tl) in three selected body parts (trunk spines, inner part of the proboscis
receptacle and inner surface of the tegument) of Dentitruncus truttae, a parasite
of brown trout (Salmo trutta) from the Krka River in Croatia. In addition, the
same body parts were examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and
correlated with NanoSIMS images. Metal concentrations determined using HR ICP-MS
confirmed higher accumulation in D. truttae than in the fish intestine. The chemical
composition of the acanthocephalan body showed the highest density of C, Ca, N,
Na, O, S, as important and constitutive elements in living cells in all studied
structures, while Fe was predominant among trace elements. In general, higher
element density was found in trunk spines and tegument, as body structures responsible
for substance absorption in parasites. The results obtained with NanoSIMS and
TEM-NanoSIMS correlative imaging represent pilot data for mapping of elements
at nanoscale resolution in the ultrastructure of various body parts of acanthocephalans
and generally provide a contribution for further application of this technique
in all parasite species.

text: A spatially distributed trace metal transport and transformation module was
developed and implemented within the hydrological model TOPKAPI-ETH. The new module
can be used to better understand, at high spatial and temporal resolution, the
transport and reactions of trace metals as they move through a catchment from
upland sources to downstream areas and water bodies. The newly developed module
takes into consideration solid metal in multiple chemical phases with different
reactivity and simulates their mutual transformation over time, which gives the
possibility to analyze the fraction of different solid metal phases present in
the river suspended sediment. The characteristics and potential of the model are
demonstrated by simulating Zinc (Zn) and Cadmium (Cd) dynamics in a headwater
catchment of the Xiang River in South China, which has been highly perturbed by
mining activities. The developed module is shown to reasonably reproduce the observed
dynamics of dissolved and total trace metals flux for 14 months at two monitoring
stations. The distributed solute transport model was proved to be capable of explaining
the reasons underlying the spatial variability of C-Q relationships that are driven
by the combined effect of point and non-point pollution sources, as well as identifying
the spatiotemporal hotspots of trace metal pollution. By means of synthetic numerical
experiments, a limited impact of slow reactions on dissolved Cd transport from
upland to river over short-temporal scales was demonstrated, while for longer
scales, e.g. >5 years, this effect becomes more relevant, highlighting potential
long-lasting sources of trace metal pollution and their impacts.

text: 'Glaciers in the Andes of Chile seem to be shrinking and possibly loosing
mass, but the number and types of studies conducted, constrained mainly by data
availability, are not sufficient to provide a synopsis of glacier changes for
the past or future or explain in an explicit way causes of the observed changes.
In this paper, we provide a systematic review of changes in glaciers for the entire
country, followed by a discussion of the studies that have provided evidence of
such changes. We identify a missing type of work in distributed, physically-oriented
modelling studies that are needed to bridge the gap between the numerous remote
sensing studies and the specific, point scale works focused on process understanding.
We use an advanced mass balance model applied to one of the best monitored glaciers
in the region to investigate four main research issues that should be addressed
in modelling studies for a sound assessment of glacier changes: 1) the use of
physically-based models of glacier ablation (energy balance models) versus more
empirical models (enhanced temperature index approaches); 2) the importance of
the correct extrapolation of air temperature forcing on glaciers and in high elevation
areas and the large uncertainty in model outputs associated with it; 3) the role
played by snow gravitational redistribution; and 4) the uncertainty associated
with future climate scenarios. We quantify differences in model outputs associated
with each of these choices, and conclude with suggestions for future work directions.'

text: 'Switzerland is one of the countries with some of the longest and best glaciological
data sets. Its glaciers and their changes in response to climate have been extensively
investigated, and the number and quality of related studies are notable. However,
a comprehensive review of glacier changes and their impact on the hydrology of
glacierised catchments for Switzerland is missing and we use the opportunity provided
by the EU-FP7 ACQWA project to review the current state of knowledge about past
changes and future projections. We examine the type of models that have been applied
to infer glacier evolution and identify knowledge gaps that should be addressed
in future research in addition to those indicated in previous publications. Common
characteristics in long-term series of projected future glacier runoff are an
initial peak followed by a decline, associated with shifts in seasonality, earlier
melt onset and reduced summer runoff. However, the quantitative predictions are
difficult to compare, as studies differ in terms of model structure, calibration
strategies, input data, temporal and spatial resolution as well as future scenarios
used for impact studies. We identify two sources of uncertainties among those
emerging from recent research, and use simulations over four glaciers to: i) quantify
the importance of the correct extrapolation of air temperature, and ii) point
at the key role played by debris cover in modulating glacier response.'

text: Projections of climate change effects in streamflow are increasingly required
to plan water management strategies. These projections are however largely uncertain
due to the spread among climate model realizations, internal climate variability,
and difficulties in transferring climate model results at the spatial and temporal
scales required by catchment hydrology. A combination of a stochastic downscaling
methodology and distributed hydrological modeling was used in the ACQWA project
to provide projections of future streamflow (up to year 2050) for the upper Po
and Rhone basins, respectively located in northern Italy and south-western Switzerland.
Results suggest that internal (stochastic) climate variability is a fundamental
source of uncertainty, typically comparable or larger than the projected climate
change signal. Therefore, climate change effects in streamflow mean, frequency,
and seasonality can be masked by natural climatic fluctuations in large parts
of the analyzed regions. An exception to the overwhelming role of stochastic variability
is represented by high elevation catchments fed by glaciers where streamflow is
expected to be considerably reduced due to glacier retreat, with consequences
appreciable in the main downstream rivers in August and September. Simulations
also identify regions (west upper Rhone and Toce, Ticino river basins) where a
strong precipitation increase in the February to April period projects streamflow
beyond the range of natural climate variability during the melting season. This
study emphasizes the importance of including internal climate variability in climate
change analyses, especially when compared to the limited uncertainty that would
be accounted for by few deterministic projections. The presented results could
be useful in guiding more specific impact studies, although design or management
decisions should be better based on reliability and vulnerability criteria as
suggested by recent literature.
