Assessing the role of urban blue space in summer outdoor thermal regulation in northwestern Europe: A hectometric Weather Research and Forecasting modelling on idealized urban landscape

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Using hectometric Weather Research and Forecasting simulations, we examine how urban blue spaces mitigate extreme summer heat in northwestern European cities through neighbourhood‐scale cooling mechanisms. Results show horizontal advection dominates cooling by mixing cooler air from waterbodies with warmer urban air, providing ∼50W·m−2$$ \sim 50\kern0 ...

Spatiotemporal Characteristics and Physical Drivers of Heatwaves in India

Geophysical Research Letters
In this study, we analyze the spatiotemporal patterns of propagation of pre‐monsoon heatwaves and their drivers in India. Using complex networks, we find that heatwaves originate most frequently in northwest India and propagate in the northeast or ...

Breaking down seagrass fragmentation in a marine heatwave impacted World Heritage Area

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Habitat fragmentation can exacerbate the impacts of habitat loss but is rarely quantified in marine environments. Using satellite‐derived habitat maps, we identify widespread seagrass fragmentation following a marine heatwave that contributed to a dramatic shift in seascape structure in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area.

Evaluating land–sea linkages using land cover change and coral reef monitoring data: A case study from northeastern Puerto Rico

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Land cover change that leads to increased nutrient and sediment runoff is an important driver of change in coral reef ecosystems. In this study, we combined satellite remote sensing and field monitoring to assess concomitant changes in watershed land cover and coral cover in northeastern Puerto Rico in 2000–2015.

Education in a Changing Climate: A Systematic Review for Low and Middle‐Income Countries (LMICs)

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is a major global challenge that affects many aspects of human life and hinders progress on the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One area that has not received enough attention is its impact on children's education in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), which are especially vulnerable to ...

Strong impact of tropical cyclones on the genesis of subsurface marine heatwaves

Communications Earth & Environment
Subsurface marine heatwaves are newly recognized extreme ocean events with profound impacts on global marine ecosystems. Previous studies have linked their formation to downwelling favorable surface winds, warm ocean eddies, and planetary waves, yet ...

Regulatory Framework and Public Policies for Sustainability in the Construction Sector

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analyzes the role of public policies in promoting socially responsible practices in the construction sector, with a particular focus on their contribution to climate neutrality and the decarbonization of the building stock. European agreements exert increasing pressure to transform the construction sector, reinforcing the transition

Marine heatwaves are shaping the vertical structure of phytoplankton in the global ocean

Communications Earth & Environment
Marine heatwaves, characterized by extremely high ocean temperatures, significantly impact marine ecosystems. To date, the vertical structure of phytoplankton responses to marine heatwaves remains poorly understood.
