Sustainable construction: potential carbon emission reductions (PCER) in Australian construction systems through the use of bioclimatic design principles

open access: yes, 2017
The building sector is responsible for 40 per cent of global energy use. By 2030, a total of 60 Mt of carbon-reduction opportunities will be available in the Australian building sector.

Polymorphic STRs represent unique genetic signals beyond SNPs associated with climate adaptation in Marchantia polymorpha

open access: yesiMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Natural populations of Marchantia polymorpha sampled across contrasting climatic regions show clear geographic differentiation between Europe and Japan based on polymorphic short tandem repeat (STR) variation. Genome‐wide association (GWAS) analyses identified pSTR loci whose repeat‐length variation tracks temperature‐related WorldClim variables.

Assessment of Human Thermal Stress Dynamics and Regional Drivers Across the Arabian Peninsula During 1990–2022 From Observations

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The results reveal that thermal stress varies substantially across the four AP regions, with winter cold stress in Region I, year‐round heat stress in Region II, pronounced summer heat stress in Region III, and persistent strong to very strong heat stress from late spring to early autumn in Region IV.

Contribution of Portuguese Vernacular Building Strategies to Indoor Thermal Comfort and Occupants’ Perception

open access: yesBuildings, 2015
Solar passive strategies that have been developed in vernacular architecture from different regions are a response to specific climate effects. These strategies are usually simple, low-tech and have low potential environmental impact.

Forest or tundra? How different vegetation reconstructions of Last Glacial landscapes in Europe may shape our perception of early human dispersal processes

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regional variability and long‐term changes of past ecosystems likely had a strong impact on hunter–gatherer population dynamics, including the expansion of anatomically modern humans and the disappearance of Neanderthals. However, our understanding of these ecosystems remains limited, even when looking at large‐scale patterns, such as the ...
