Characterising acute and chronic care needs: insights from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

Chronic care manages long-term, progressive conditions, while acute care handles short-term ones. Here, authors show chronic conditions account for most of the global health burden, with 68% of DALYs and 93% of YLDs attributed to chronic care needs.

Extending medium-range predictability of extreme hydrological events in Europe

Extreme winter flooding has caused devastation across Europe in recent years, highlighting the need for improved forecasts. Here, the authors show that the use of water vapour transport, rather than precipitation in weather prediction models, can extend the forecast horizon by as much as 3 days.

Mapping the planet’s critical areas for biodiversity and nature’s contributions to people

This study shows that conserving approximately half of global land area through protection or sustainable management could provide 90% of ten of nature’s contributions to people and could meet representation targets for 26,709 species of mammals, birds, amphibians, and reptiles. This finding supports recent commitments to conserve at least 30% of global lands and waters by 2030.

The economic consequences of conserving or restoring sites for nature

Nature benefits people in diverse ways, but insight on the relative value of conserving or restoring versus using intensively is limited. Synthesizing data from 62 sites worldwide, this study finds benefits from conservation and restoration often outweighing private ones and that these rise with the social cost of carbon.

Increasing precipitation volatility in twenty-first-century California

California recently experienced a rapid shift from multi-year drought to abundant rainfall. A large ensemble of climate model simulations suggests that the frequency of extreme wet-to-dry precipitation events will increase by 25% to 100% across California due to anthropogenic forcing.

Two-stage opening of the Dover Strait and the origin of island Britain

Britain’s separation from mainland Europe is believed to be the result of spillover from a proglacial lake in the North Sea, but this has remained unproven. Here, the authors show that the opening of the Dover Strait occurred in two episodes, where initial lake spillover was followed by catastrophic flooding.

Landslide erosion coupled to tectonics and river incision

The steep topography of mountain landscapes arises from interactions between tectonic rock uplift, valley incision and landslide erosion on hillslopes. An analysis of more than 15,000 landslides in the eastern Himalaya, mapped from satellite images, shows that steep uplands primarily respond to uplift and river incision by increases in landslide erosion rates rather than by steepened hillslope angles.

The Willamette River Valley in Oregon serves as a case study for how to use coupled human–natural systems to mitigate drought.

Here the authors show that SPHS costs vary from 0.007 to 0.2 US$ m⁻³ of water stored, 1.8 to 50 US$ MWh⁻¹ of energy stored and 0.37 to 0.6 US$ GW⁻¹ of installed power generation capacity.

Episodes of ice sheet disintegration and meltwater release over glacial–interglacial cycles are recorded in the sediments of the Labrador Sea. Analyses of sediment cores along the Labrador and Greenland margins reveal a layer of red material that was probably carried to the Labrador Sea during a glacial outburst flood through the Hudson Strait, early in the last interglacial period.

This work introduces a passive method for capturing CO₂ directly in the solid form using a carbonate crystallizer. This system harnesses wind-driven evaporation to enable rapid CO₂ capture and carbonate crystallization. This method provides a simplified and scalable alternative to conventional air contactors, which require substantial capital investments.

Mangroves are adapted to cope with tropical storms, but might be threatened by rising frequency and intensity of these events. Here the authors document one of the largest mangrove diebacks on record following Hurricane Irma in Florida, and show a greater role of storm surge and ponding rather than wind as a mechanism for mangrove dieback.
