Bridging Horizontal to Vertical Radiative Cooling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Radiative cooling materials are mature but only work facing the sky, confining them to rooftops. Instead of developing new ones, this system bridges existing horizontal coolers to vertical windows using blades outside the glass. On an occupied urban building, windows stay up to 1.4°C below air temperature while preserving daylight, outward views, and ...

An intensity gradient of extreme rainfall governs nitrogen and phosphorus losses from contour ridge systems in the rocky mountain region of Northern China

Agricultural Water Management
Extreme water erosion-induced nutrient loss poses a widespread environmental threat, contributing to land degradation and waterbody eutrophication. The increasing changes in extreme rainfall aggravate the complexity and uncertainties for nutrient loss ...

Polydopamine‐Wool Textiles for Sustainable Interfacial Solar Vapor Generation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A natural wool textile engineered for high solar absorbance and a fast‐wicking structure serves as a highly efficient, single‐layer system for interfacial solar vapor generation (ISVG). This integrated evaporator seamlessly couples rapid water transport with continuous evaporation. Ultimately, this sustainable photothermal design offers a scalable, eco‐

A framework for the analysis of the influence of rainfall spatial organization and basin morphology on flood response [PDF]

, 2013
This work describes the derivation of a set of statistics, termed spatial moments of catchment rainfall, that quantify the dependence between rainfall spatial organization, basin morphology and runoff response.

A dependence modelling study of extreme rainfall in Madeira Island

, 2016
The dependence between variables plays a central role in multivariate extremes. In this paper, spatial dependence of Madeira Island's rainfall data is addressed within an extreme value copula approach through an analysis of maximum annual data.

Extreme Weather Events and Consumer Food Responses

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates consumer food responses to Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which affected a swath of the Southeastern U.S. in 2024. Using representative consumer survey data from six affected states, we analyze 10 distinct food responses classified into ex ante and ex post responses, and examine their associations with food insufficiency

Water vapour transport associated with tropical-temperate trough systems over southern Africa and the southwest Indian Ocean [PDF]

, 2004
Tropical–temperate trough (TTT) systems are the dominant rain-producing synoptic type over southern Africa. They represent an important mechanism of poleward transport of energy and momentum.

Farmers' Preferences for Gene Editing Crops and Influencing Factors

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gene editing (GE) is gaining momentum worldwide, but limited data on UK farmers' preferences hinders our understanding of its potential impact amid deregulation debates. Based on a survey of 200 English arable farmers, we employ a Latent Class Analysis and Multinomial Logit regressions to investigate current preferences for GE crops.

Understanding compounding heatwave-extreme rainfall events for building climate resilience [PDF]

Extreme rainfall can lead to (flash) flooding which can cause high impacts on society. It has been shown recently that the intensity and likelihood of extreme rainfall can be increased if it occurs immediately after a heatwave, amplifying the chance of ...
