Summary: Understanding consumer preferences is essential for promoting eco-friendly vehicles. However, there is limited research on consumer preferences for fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). This study uses a discrete choice model to examine consumer preferences for all vehicles and forecasts the market share of FCEVs in the future.

Summary: The LSTM model outperforms the DLCM model in predicting water levels in rivers, providing more accurate forecasts. It is particularly effective for low and flood stages, but less reliable for medium stages.

Summary: This paper discusses the importance of achieving the required shares of alternative vehicles by 2050, with a focus on the significant role of investment costs in vehicle choice. Extreme efforts targeting both technical and economic characteristics of vehicles, as well as individual characteristics such as information level and risk attitude, are necessary to achieve full electrification.

Summary: This study investigates the choice of temporary housing after a large-scale flood and predicts the relocation of households based on a simulation. The results indicate that a significant residential movement would occur, with approximately 60-70% of households in the high-risk disaster areas choosing to live in other areas even six months after the flood.

Summary: River barriers, including large dams and small-scale barriers, have a significant impact on fish habitats and can lead to population decline or extinction. Previous studies in the Mekong basin have focused mainly on large dams and neglected the effects of small-scale barriers. The completeness of existing barrier databases was tested, and a comprehensive database was created for the Upper Mekong. The study found that a large percentage of river barriers were absent from existing databases, with small-scale barriers being particularly overlooked. The presence of barriers was found to contribute to fragmentation within the catchment, impacting fish species distribution.

Summary: The study highlights the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the long-term travel behavior of individuals. It reveals that people are more willing to use sustainable modes of transportation and choose public transportation after receiving the vaccine. The fear of contracting the virus and trust in preventive measures are key factors influencing mode choice. Strategies need to be implemented to enhance the safety and attractiveness of existing sustainable modes of transportation.

Summary: The reuse of treated greywater in residential settings can alleviate water scarcity issues, but preferences for greywater reuse vary across households and are influenced by psychological constructs. Data analysis using a hybrid choice model with latent variables reveals preferences for different uses of greywater and the heterogeneity of choices among individuals and uses.

Summary: This study focused on a section of the Yellow River in China and used the Yellow River carp as an indicator species. A habitat suitability model for the carp was built, and changes in reproductive habitat suitability before and after the construction of the Xiaolangdi Dam were simulated. The results showed that the dam delayed the breeding time of the carp, decreased its quality, and significantly affected larval fish development. This study provides valuable reference for the ecological scheduling of discharges from the Xiaolangdi Dam.

Summary: This paper develops an integrated postprocessing framework for hydrometeorological ensemble forecasts, which aims to address the data correction issue for hydrological models. By using a reasonable design of canonical events and employing postprocessed ensemble precipitation forecasts, the performance of hydrological forecasts can be improved in terms of lead times and accuracy. The Bayesian model averaging (BMA) scheme further enhances the forecast effect by generating more skillful and reliable probabilistic hydrological forecasts.

Summary: The study shows strong support for marine debris removal and prevention programs, particularly focusing on derelict fishing gear and debris removal efforts in the North Western Hawaiian Islands. However, individuals who believe that governments have the majority responsibility for reducing and cleaning plastic pollution in marine environments show the strongest willingness for change and subsequent action.

Summary: Investigating travellers' travel-based multitasking behaviour expands the scope of transport policies and their impact on sustainable travel behavior. This study in Singapore analyzes preferences for multitasking during travel and quantifies the trade-offs between time savings and seat availability. Different activity types and durations are classified into five groups, revealing variations in travellers' monetary trade-offs across different in-vehicle activities.
