Thirsty country: climate change and drought in Australia [PDF]

, 2015
This report argues that climate change is likely making drought worse in the southeast and southwest of Australia, which are some of our most populous regions. Introduction Drought has deeply affected Australia throughout its history.

Seasonal Climate Forecasts and Risk Management Among Georgia Farmers [PDF]

, 2008
Recent increases in the scientific robustness of seasonal climate forecasts have not led to substantial changes in farmers’ risk management strategies of actors, largely because there is poor integration of scientific forecasting into farmers’ decision ...

Toward Pore‐Engineered 3D‐Printed Materials for Sorption Water Harvesting, Interfacial Evaporation, and Radiative Cooling

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Water harvesting, radiative cooling, and interfacial solar evaporation are fundamentally governed by coupled heat, mass, and light transport processes. These processes are mediated by pore architecture, including pore size, connectivity, and hierarchical organization.

Local climate zone mapping: a case study in Belgium [PDF]

GEOBIA 2016: Solutions and synergies, 2016
Classifying a city according to the local climate zone (LCZ) scheme can provide insights into the thermal issue of urban planning. The different zones of the LCZ scheme feature particular morphological properties in terms of terrain roughness class, aspect ratio, sky view factor, surface admittance, etc.

Warming and cooling effects of local climate zones on urban thermal environment

Frontiers in Public Health, 2022
Understanding the thermal characteristics and contribution ranking of local climate zones (LCZs) is essential since they can help in maintaining environmental harmony. However, previous studies only considered independent effects and could not analyze the combined effects of LCZ on land surface temperature (LST).

Highly Sensitive Broadband Photodetectors Based on Donor–Acceptor 2D Conjugated Coordination Polymers

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Donor–acceptor molecular design and chemical vapor deposition growth enable the two‐dimensional nickel‐tetraaminobenzoquinone films with strong broadband absorption and efficient charge separation. The resulting photodetectors exhibit a structured broadband response with a high responsivity of ∼3.1 A W−1 and a response time of ∼170 µs, which surpasses ...
