Marine heatwaves in the Arabian Sea [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2021 Abstract. Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are prolonged warm sea condition events that can have a destructive impact on marine ecosystems. The documentation of MHWs and assessment of their impacts is largely confined to a few regional seas or to global mean studies.

Heat risk assessment for the Brussels capital region under different urban planning and greenhouse gas emission scenarios [PDF]
, 2019 Urban residents are exposed to higher levels of heat stress in comparison to the rural population. As this phenomenon could be enhanced by both global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and urban expansion, urban planners and policymakers should integrate ...
