Understanding “Anti-Food Waste” efforts in China: a policy text analysis based on the period 2009–2021 - Tonglu Li; Guanmin Qiao; Na Cong; Keumseok Koh (Environment, Development and Sustainability, 2026)
Food waste is a pressing global challenge requiring complex policy solutions. As a pivotal contributor to global food sustainability, China’s national anti-food waste strategy has undergone significant evolution over the past decade, meriting systematic investigation. This study conducts a policy text analysis of 37 central-government documents from 2009 to 2021, applying a three-dimensional framework integrating policy objectives, tools, and plan phases. The key findings reveal a coherent and adaptive governance trajectory: (1) The policy evolution demonstrates a clear three-phase pathway, marked by continuity between stages and innovation in governance paradigms and policy tool combinations. (2) Policy objectives have shifted from specific issues such as improving food utilization to broader national strategies, culminating in deep integration with top-level agendas like Ecological Civilization. (3) The policy tool mix has transitioned adaptively from government-led supply-type tools to demand-type tools (notably social participation), and further to a significant rise in environment-type tools, ultimately forming a composite governance framework that synergizes legal regulation, market incentives, and social norms. This trajectory reveals a governance logic of innovative continuity, characterized by a “relay” pattern of political initiation, social diffusion, and legal-systematic consolidation. Deeply rooted in China’s politico-cultural traditions such as diligence and thrift, this process effectively integrates top-down mandates with bottom-up mobilization, forming a distinct Chinese paradigm of state-society synergy. The study thus presents a dynamic and transferable policy model for complex socio-environmental governance in developing economies.

Gas hydrate reservoir quality enhanced by framboidal pyrite formation - Qiang Song; Jiasheng Wang; Thomas J. Algeo; Can Chen; Zhou Wang; Muhui Zhang; Cong Cheng; Kunlong Geng (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Gas hydrate enrichment mechanisms and reservoir characteristics are crucial for understanding their resource potential and role in the global carbon cycle. Traditional models emphasize coarse-grained sediments as primary hosts for hydrates, but recent studies show significant accumulations also occur in fine-grained systems. However, the influence of authigenic minerals, particularly porous framboidal pyrite, on reservoir properties in such settings remains poorly understood. This study examines framboidal pyrite from three gas hydrate drillsites in the northern South China Sea: GMGS4-SC-W02B and GMGS4-SC-W03B in the Pearl River Mouth Basin, and GMGS2–16 in the Taixinan Basin. Integrated sedimentological, mineralogical, and petrophysical analyses, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), show that framboidal pyrite aggregates exhibit substantial porosity (ranging from 8.1% to 80.2%) and well-connected pore networks that enhance sediment permeability and provide favorable storage space for gas hydrates. Key controlling factors include framboid size, microcrystal morphology, and size, all of which are influenced by geochemical conditions associated with anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM). Additionally, pyrite microcrystals promote hydrate nucleation through their high specific surface area, defect-rich surfaces, and hydrophilic interactions, which enhance methane adsorption and facilitate heterogeneous crystallization. These findings demonstrate that framboidal pyrite actively facilitates hydrate storage and precipitation, rather than being a passive diagenetic product influenced solely by methane flux from hydrate dissociation, offering a refined geological framework for resource assessment and predictive exploration in fine-grained hydrate systems globally.

Adapting the COASTGUARD shoreline detection workflow to macrotidal estuaries: a case study in the Musquash Estuary Marine Protected Area - Peike Cong; Catherine Evans; Bryce MacInnis; Alysa Czenze; Melina Mehlmann; Maggie Sutherland; Christopher Whidden; Levi Morrison (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Tidal range, diverse land-cover conditions, and complex intertidal topography make accurately monitoring estuarine shoreline change difficult. This study extends the COASTGUARD workflow from traditional open coastline applications to complex, macrotidal estuarine environments, demonstrated through a case study in the Musquash Marine Protected Area. The revised pipeline introduces three key contributions: habitat-aware classification tailored to estuarine settings, a buffer-area strategy for tidal flat shorelines, and tidal correction based on DEM-derived slope estimation. High-resolution SuperDove imagery was used for habitat classification using a three-layer MLP with 91.94% accuracy validated against existing habitat maps. Slopes were derived through calculations of shoreline position using a 1 m LiDAR derived DEM. Water level was calculated through applying the Piecewise Cubic Hermite Interpolation on a seven-day moving window. Images captured during high tide had a 150 m buffer applied to the reference shoreline , reducing misclassification from offshore noise . These contributions to the COASTGUARD framework enhance shoreline tracking in a macrotidal environment of beaches, salt marshes, and tidal flats in close proximity. This introduces an accurate long term and event-based monitoring strategy for environments hosting across different tidal zones, advancing applied scientific research and management applications.

Numerical simulation of hydrological response to extreme rainfall in Atacama Desert - Seyedamirali Sahraei; Cong Jiang; Mehdi Hamidi; Yaping Shao (Natural Hazards, 2026)
Extreme rainfall events in hyper-arid regions are rare but can trigger disproportionally large hydrological and geomorphological responses. On 24–26 March 2015, an unprecedented precipitation event struck the Atacama Desert in northern Chile, producing destructive floods in normally dry basins, including the Salado River Basin. This study investigates the hydrological response of this hyper-arid catchment using the fully coupled Atmospheric and Hydrological Modeling System (AHMS), which integrates the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model with the distributed Hydrological Modeling System (HMS) through the Noah-MP land surface model. A 13-day online simulation is performed to reproduce the extreme event, while an 8-year offline simulation driven by ERA5 reanalysis data is conducted to place the 2015 flood within a longer-term hydrological context. The online simulation reproduces intense precipitation over the high-elevation Precordillera, with accumulated rainfall exceeding 120 mm, and generates peak discharges of approximately 1000 m 3 s −1 at El Salado and about 930 m 3 s −1 at Chañaral, consistent with previous independent estimates. The offline simulation indicates that such discharges are far outside typical basin conditions, with probability density functions of daily streamflow showing that the 2015 event exceeds the 99.9th percentile of the modeled distribution. Despite severe data limitations, this study provides a process-based numerical reconstruction of runoff generation in one of the driest environments on Earth, highlighting both the potential and the limitations of fully coupled atmospheric–hydrological modeling for extreme flood analysis in data-sparse hyper-arid basins.

A Global Optimization Framework for Energy Efficiency of Wing–Diesel Hybrid Ships Under Distinct Sail-Statuses Based on Improved Deep Q-Network and D*Lite Algorithm - Cong Wang; Lianzhong Huang; Xiaowu Li; Ranqi Ma; Jianlin Cao; Rui Zhang; Haoyang Zhao (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Wing–diesel hybrid ships are a practical approach to sustainable maritime transport that harnesses wind energy to supplement diesel propulsion and reduce carbon emissions. The core optimization problem addressed in this study is the global energy efficiency optimization of path planning and propulsion system cooperative control for wing–diesel hybrid ships under two typical sail operation statuses (sail-deployed and sail-stowed) with dynamic changes in complex maritime meteorological and hydrological conditions. To address this issue, this paper proposes a global energy efficiency optimization framework based on an improved Deep Q-Network (DQN) and D*Lite algorithm. Firstly, the D*Lite algorithm is reconstructed with an incremental replanning mechanism and risk-aware cost function to generate real-time safe path constraints. Secondly, the DQN is improved by adopting a dueling network, noisy exploration and prioritized experience replay, and a differentiated reward function dynamically weighted by sail statuses is designed for it. Finally, a fuel consumption prediction model based on the gradient boosting algorithm is integrated into the reward function to realize an accurate energy efficiency assessment. Empirical results confirm that the framework achieves remarkable carbon reduction effects: the optimized routes reduce the total fuel consumption by 5.02%, cut carbon dioxide emissions by 140.66 tons, and improve the energy efficiency operational index by 7.50%. This framework provides an effective technical solution for the dynamic energy efficiency optimization of wing–diesel hybrid ships under different sail operation statuses.

Molecular characterization of hypoxia-inducible factor alpha isoforms reveals a pivotal role of HIF-3α in acute hypoxia adaptation of greenfin horse-faced filefish (Thamnaconus septentrionalis) - Mingyu Ma; Yi Bai; Zhewen Zhang; Xiaolei Su; Cong Liu; Wuhong Lv; Weiwei Liu; Kai Wang; Mingzhu Li; Qiangde Liu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Introduction Hypoxia-inducible factor α (HIF-α) family members are key transcription factors mediating cellular responses to hypoxia. However, their specific roles in the greenfin horse-faced filefish, Thamnaconus septentrionalis , remain unclear. Methods The hypoxia sensitivity of T. septentrionalis was determined by the critical O 2 tension for loss of equilibrium (LOEcrit). Three TsHIF-α genes (TsHIF-1α, TsHIF-2α, and TsHIF-3α) were cloned and characterized through phylogenetic, structural and tissue expression analyses. Acute hypoxia responses were assessed in the liver, and dual-luciferase reporter assays were performed to examine transcriptional activation of the vegfa promoter. Results T. septentrionalis is highly sensitive to hypoxia, with a LOEcrit of 1.43 ± 0.2 mg/L. Phylogenetic and structural analyses confirmed that TsHIF-αs cluster into three canonical isoforms, with highly conserved basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)-Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domains and divergent oxygen-dependent degradation domain (ODDD) regions, including fewer serine residues compared with homologs in other species. All three TsHIF-αs were broadly expressed, with higher levels in the head kidney and gill. Under acute hypoxia, TsHIF-3α exhibited rapid and sustained upregulation in the liver, preceding TsHIF-1α and closely paralleling the expression of the downstream target genes vegfa and ldha . Consistently, TsHIF-3α activates the vegfa promoter more efficiently than TsHIF-1α in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion These results indicate that T. septentrionalis is a hypoxia-sensitive species that may rely on a TsHIF-3α-dominated regulatory mechanism to respond to acute hypoxia and enhance adaptive survival. This study advances understanding of HIF-α functional diversification in teleosts and provides a molecular framework for the genetic improvement of stress-resistant aquaculture species.

Depth Conversion of Underwater Static Electric Fields for Submersibles in High-Latitude Low-Temperature Sea Areas - Yuhong Li; Cong Chen; Hongsen Zhao; Yiqun Liu; Yunfu Hou; Jiaqing Sun; Wentie Yang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Depth conversion of underwater static electric fields refers to a mathematical approach that indirectly determines the distribution of planar electric fields at larger depths using measured planar electric field data obtained from a shallower region with finite depth and limited area. The complicated environment of high-latitude low-temperature sea areas further increases the difficulty of performing practical large-depth measurements of underwater electric fields. Therefore, depth conversion becomes an important technical strategy for overcoming the constraints of field measurements and for comprehensively understanding the distribution of underwater static electric fields of the target. This study begins with the mathematical formulation of the depth conversion problem, solves the related boundary value problem, and develops the corresponding depth conversion method. Subsequently, based on COMSOL simulation data of the underwater static electric field generated by a scaled-down submersible model, numerical analyses are conducted to investigate the effects of factors such as grid discretization, measurement plane dimensions, conversion depth, and data noise on the conversion accuracy. Finally, the reliability of the conversion method is validated in a laboratory environment by simulating a naturally frozen sea area and employing measured underwater static electric field data from the scaled-down submersible model. The results demonstrate that the developed conversion method can effectively achieve extrapolation of the underwater static electric field of the submersible from shallow regions to deeper water. Even when the noise amplitude is nearly twice that of the effective signal and the conversion depth reaches 8 times the outer diameter of the submersible, the relative root mean square error (RRMSE) of the conversion results can still be maintained below 0.10. These findings provide useful references for the advancement of technologies related to underwater electric field characteristic recognition and electric field stealth performance evaluation in high-latitude low-temperature sea areas.
