Long-term observations of water level are scarce in Amazonia. The observations in the Negro River at the port of Manaus provide one of the few time series for more than 100 years in the Amazon Basin. We performed spectrum and trend analyses to understand long…

The waste sector is a growing contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Côte d’Ivoire, with methane (CH₄) as the dominant pollutant. This study examines GHG emission trends from this sector during the period 1990-2022, using data from Côte d’Ivoire’s n…

Temperature changes were investigated via Fourier analysis for the entire globe, the 48 states, and the Japanese archipelago. A comparison of power spectra revealed that the amplitude of temperature changes in the Japanese archipelago was greater than that fo…
