Integrating Satellite‐Based and Participatory Spatial Analyses for Local, Contextualised, and Nuanced Extreme Heat Hotspot Mapping in Overheated Urban Southeast Asia

open access: yesSustainable Development, Volume 34, Issue S2, Page 1015-1033, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Rapid urbanisation in Southeast Asia intensifies extreme‐heat exposure, especially where high population density, extensive impervious surfaces, and limited green cover coincide. This study combines multi‐decadal satellite‐derived land surface temperature (LST) mapping with spatial regression and community participatory mapping to locate ...

Understanding Biases in Simulated Cloud Radiative Effects in E3SMv3

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract This study systematically investigates biases in cloud radiative effects (CREs) within the recently released Energy Exascale Earth System Model version 3 (E3SMv3). Compared to its previous version (E3SMv2), E3SMv3 shows excessively strong shortwave CRE over tropical and subtropical oceans, the Southern Ocean, and the Northern Hemisphere storm ...

Statistical Downscaling of Future Temperature in Tianshan Mountains Based on Batch Gradient Descent Nonlinear Regression

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Temperature is a key variable in alpine regions such as the Tianshan Mountains, which affects the population and economic development in lowlands by regulating the melting of snow and glaciers. The climate change over the Tianshan Mountains may have a strong climate impact.

Assessment of the Spatiotemporal Patterns and Ecological Impacts of Photovoltaic Power Plants in Central Asia

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Photovoltaic (PV) power plants rapidly expand in drylands because of the high solar potential and efficient land‐use capabilities. However, existing PV data sets are often incomplete and lack installation timestamps, which significantly hinder comprehensive assessments of PV power plants' ecological impacts. By integrating a random forest (RF)

Ecosystem Service Dynamics in the Upper Yellow River Mega‐Irrigation Area (Hetao): A Framework for Element–Structure–Ecosystem Network Assessment

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Increasing water scarcity intensifies conflicts between socio‐economic development and ecological integrity, underscoring the need for integrated socio‐ecological approaches. However, current assessments often lack frameworks that quantitatively capture the dynamic interactions among ecosystem structure, function, and human activity.

Urban Shrinkage and Surface Urban Heat Islands: Does Population Decline Lead to Cooling? A Spatiotemporal Analysis of China's 89 Shrinking Cities (2001–2019)

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Numerous studies have examined how urban expansion exacerbates Surface Urban Heat Island intensity (SUHII), yet limited attention has been paid to whether and how urban shrinkage mitigates SUHII. This study employed multiple models to analyze the spatiotemporal evolution of surface urban heat island (SUHI) and its driving factors in 89 ...
