Schmidt hammer exposure dating for brick masonry
This research investigates the validity of the Schmidt hammer exposure dating (SHED) technique as a complementary means to date monuments according to the evaluation of the brick decay from masonry exposed to climatic conditions. The degree of surface weathering, I<sub>5</sub> (%) is calculated as an indicator of the ageing effect and ...

Legacy effects of redlining on the distribution of greenspaces in US cities
We investigated how a discriminatory housing policy—redlining—has shaped the spatial patterns and configurations of greenspaces throughout 177 cities in the contiguous US. Housing segregation has been a long‐term development practice that has sequestered communities of color to areas with elevated environmental and public health risks.
