Classification‐Based Greenspace Exposure Assessment Reveals the Compensatory Role of Urban Cropland in Greenspace Equity

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Urban greenspace inequality has become a major sustainability challenge, yet the roles of different greenspace types in mitigating exposure inequality remain poorly understood, even as cropland is increasingly being incorporated into urban landscape thinking.

The Effects of Urbanization on Infrastructure Sustainability and Resilience in Variable Microclimates Within Arid Environments

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Rapid urbanization significantly intensifies land surface temperature (LST), with profound implications for local climate, infrastructure sustainability, and environmental quality. The Local Climate Zones (LCZs) classification provides a standardized framework for examining urban thermal dynamics and supporting strategies to mitigate heat ...

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

Hybrid Supervised‐Unsupervised Modeling for Post‐Hurricane Private Well Contamination Risk Score Using Empirical Validation and Community‐Informed Assessment

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Hurricane‐related flooding can mobilize microbial and chemical contaminants, while limited well testing and uneven disaster response capacity leave many households relying on private wells at elevated risk, particularly during the early recovery phase when contamination risk is acute.

Landscape heterogeneity is an important predictor of snake–human encounters in Eswatini

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our results suggest that large‐scale land use changes, such as disintegration of natural habitat into smaller patches of habitat, are associated with a significant increased likelihood of encountering a snake. This has important implications for both snakebite prevention and landscape conservation in southern Africa as habitats change and populations ...
