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 ...

Snow Cover Dynamics and Environmental Coupling Regulate Freezing Intensity Across China's Frozen Ground Regions

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Climate warming and increasingly frequent hydroclimatic extremes are altering snowfall regimes and snow cover dynamics, with important implications for frozen‐ground stability. Yet the combined effects of snow cover and environmental controls on ground thermal conditions remain poorly constrained.

We Are in the Anthropocene—Now What?

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract While the term “Anthropocene” is well established across scientific disciplines and social spheres, interpretations are diverse. Taking account of the 2024 rejection by a geological commission to accept the Anthropocene as a geological epoch and the related scientific debate, here we offer a future‐oriented perspective from the viewpoint of ...

Predicting Urban Heat‐Related Illness Across U.S. Climate Regions and Demographics

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We still know relatively little about how climate, demographics, built environment, and behaviors interact to drive hospitalizations during extreme heat events (EHEs). To address this paucity in understanding, we draw on extant literature to develop a transdisciplinary discrete event system dynamics (SD) modeling approach to address two ...

Assessing Intraurban Variation in Heat‐Attributable Health Burden to Inform Local Interventions

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Extreme heat exposure leads to excess cardiovascular morbidity and mortality among older adults, but misalignment in the geographic scales of health data and intraurban heat exposure make it challenging to inform local interventions. We introduce an adaptable framework for developing health burden estimates at finer geographic scales by ...
