arXiv:2510. 23798v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The proliferation of floating anthropogenic debris in rivers has emerged as a pressing environmental concern, exerting a detrimental influence on biodiversity, water quality, and human activities such as navigation and recreation.
arXiv:2606. 00675v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Water research in Brazil largely overlooks the widespread damming of small streams for agricultural uses such as watering cattle, farm-scale hydropower, irrigation, and aquaculture.
The paper presents an open‑access deep learning model that automatically detects openly dumped municipal solid waste using crowdsourced UAV imagery across 29 regions in 10 Sub‑Saharan African countries. Trained on manually annotated image tiles, the model shows excellent performance and reveals heterogeneous waste accumulation patterns, from localized hotspots along waterways to dispersed litter in urban areas. The study links waste accumulation most strongly to population density and lack of local infrastructure, underscoring the need for fine‑scale data to understand localized waste dynamics.
arXiv:2608. 09360v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The demand for maritime surveillance has given rise to the need for monitoring fishing vessel activities, particularly in addressing the challenge of "dark vessels" that operate without Automatic Identification System (AIS) transmission.
