Large-area Assessment of Impervious Surface based on Integrated Analysis of Single-date Landsat-7 Images and Geospatial Vector Data

, 2009
Driven by a constantly accelerating increase of urban population in recent decades urban sprawl has become one of the most dynamic processes in the context of global land use transformations.

Importance of Spatially Continuous Urban Surface Properties in Urban‐Resolving Earth System Modeling

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Accurate representation of urban properties and processes at higher resolutions in global modeling systems is essential for advancing our ability to capture the complexities of urban systems and informing effective resilience strategies. However, the prescription of coarse global‐scale urban properties in most state‐of‐the‐art Earth system ...

The Growing Threat of Flooding on Transportation Infrastructure Across Texas Through 2100

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Flooding poses an escalating threat to transportation resilience, yet existing regulatory hazard maps often suffer from incomplete coverage and rely on static historical data, leaving vast infrastructure networks exposed to unquantified risks. We bridge this gap for Texas—a hydro‐geomorphologically diverse state with aging infrastructure—under

Detecting Land Use Change Impacts on Streamflow by Combining Field Data and Water Balance Modelling

JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Over the last half‐century, land use changes, including deforestation, urban sprawl, and open‐pit surface mining, have accelerated across the Susurluk Basin in northwestern Türkiye. This study analysed how land use changes, damming and mining activities affected basin hydrology using empirical and analytical methods and the process‐based Water

Role of freshwater availability and terrestrial land‐cover change in the distribution of a declining, terrestrial, insectivorous bird

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Insectivorous, Afro‐Palearctic migrant birds provide cross‐border ecosystem services, but many are declining rapidly. The complex life cycle of migrant birds makes their conservation difficult, but understanding where they spend time during the breeding season can help indicate where those actions will be most effective.

Urban Tolerance of Orthoptera Is Strongly Related to National Red List Status and Population Trends

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Quantifying the extent to which a species can tolerate urban environments is crucial for prioritising conservation efforts. By using a large citizen science dataset, we analysed the species‐specific urban tolerance of Orthoptera and examined how urban tolerance relates to Red List category, population status and population trends ...

Foliar Contributions to Methane and Nitrous Oxide Exchange in Urban Green Roof Systems

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 6, June 2026.
Biochar amendment of extensive green roof substrates enhanced foliar methane (CH4) uptake (~3×) and reduced nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions across native and stonecrop vegetation. City‐scale extrapolation to Toronto's permitted green roof area indicates measurable, management‐sensitive non‐CO2 mitigation within urban green infrastructure systems ...

The Social Equity of Spatial Compactness Varies by Context: Evidence From Belfast, Glasgow and Liverpool

The Geographical Journal, Volume 192, Issue 2, June 2026.
Short Abstract This paper examines the relationship between urban compactness and social equity across three UK cities. Using a multidimensional compactness framework and multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR), it analyses how demographic characteristics relate to spatial compactness at a fine scale.
