Strengthening urban resilience in China through underground infrastructures management: Addressing global climate challenges with technological solutions

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper explores how climate‐resilient technologies, such as smart grids, digital twins, and self‐healing materials, can enhance urban resilience. It highlights the urgent need for proactive planning, public‐private collaboration, and data‐driven innovation to future‐proof underground infrastructure amid accelerating climate and urban pressures ...

Effects of Prenatal Exposure to Ozone, Heatwave and Green Space on Neonatal Congenital Heart Disease: A Case-Control Study in Eastern China

Toxics
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most prevalent birth defect. Ozone and heatwave exposure during pregnancy could increase the risk of adverse birth outcomes. Green space might be associated with beneficial birth outcomes.

Excess deaths during the 2004 heatwave in Brisbane, Australia

, 2010
The paper examines whether there was an excess of deaths and the relative role of temperature and ozone in a heatwave during 7–26 February 2004 in Brisbane, Australia, a subtropical city accustomed to warm weather. The data on daily counts of deaths from

Assessment of heat-related health impacts in Brisbane, Australia: comparison of different heatwave definitions. [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: There is no global definition of a heatwave because local acclimatisation and adaptation influence the impact of extreme heat. Even at a local level there can be multiple heatwave definitions, based on varying temperature levels or time ...

Human pressure, habitat heterogeneity and species traits jointly determine the level of dark diversity in coastal fish communities

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how anthropogenic pressures and environmental gradients shape coastal fish communities is a central question in biogeography and marine conservation. Yet, the set of species expected to occur at a site given ecological conditions but being absent – the so‐called dark diversity – has received far less attention than observed species, even ...

Translating Across Boundaries: The Process of Integrating Forestry Into the German National Water Strategy

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Participatory processes are increasingly recognized as essential components of modern environmental governance. While much scholarly attention has been devoted to the design and implementation of such processes, less is known about the critical phase between participatory processes and final policy outputs.

Subsurface heatwaves in lakes

Nature Climate Change
Abstract Lake heatwaves (extreme hot water events) can substantially disrupt aquatic ecosystems. Although surface heatwaves are well studied, their vertical structures within lakes remain largely unexplored. Here we analyse the characteristics of subsurface lake heatwaves (extreme hot events occurring below the surface) using a spatiotemporal

Thermal performance of buildings integrated with phase change materials to reduce heat stress risks during extreme heatwave events

, 2017
Building refurbishment, through incorporating phase change materials (PCMs) into building fabrics, has been considered to be an effective way to reduce the energy consumption and related carbon emission of buildings. At the same time, it can also help to

Temperature homeostasis disruption and hypothalamic alterations in experimental drug‐resistant epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Elevated body temperature may increase seizure risk, yet the relationship between thermoregulation and seizures, as well as the underlying mechanisms, remains poorly understood. We investigated whether thermoregulatory control is altered in experimental temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), as such impairment could reduce the ability of ...

Causes on the 2018 record-breaking heatwave in South Korea: compound impacts from recurrent large-scale atmospheric teleconnections

Environmental Research Letters
This study analyzed the causes of the extreme heatwave in East Asia in 2018, which brought a record-breaking event in South Korea in terms of the number of hot days and the intensity in history.
