Executive summary Food systems have the potential to nurture human health and support
environmental sustainability; however, they are currently threatening both. Providing a …

Eutrophication is a major global concern in lakes, caused by excessive nutrient loadings
(nitrogen and phosphorus) from human activities and likely exacerbated by climate change …

Seas are polluted with macro-(> 5 mm) and microplastics (< 5 mm). However, few studies
account for both types when modeling water quality, thus limiting our understanding of the …

Abstract Meeting the United Nations'(UN's) 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has
become a worldwide mission. How these SDGs interrelate, however, is not well known. We …

Most of the global population will live in urban areas in the 21st century. We study impacts of
urbanization on future river pollution taking a multi-pollutant approach. We quantify …

Excessive nitrogen (N) deposition affects aquatic ecosystems worldwide, but effectiveness of
emissions controls and their impact on water pollution remains uncertain. In this modeling …

Reducing water scarcity requires both mitigation of the increasing water pollution and
adaptation to the changing availability and demand of water resources under global change …

We develop a new large-scale hydrological and water resources model, the Community
Water Model (CWatM), which can simulate hydrology both globally and regionally at …

Empirical evidence demonstrates that lakes and reservoirs are warming across the globe.
Consequently, there is an increased need to project future changes in lake thermal structure …

Ocean warming has severe impacts on coral reef ecosystems with frequent incidences of
coral bleaching. In addition, eutrophication poses an increasing threat to coral reef …
