Climatic controls on the hydrologic effects of urban low impact development practices
To increase the adoption and reliability of low impact development (LID) practices for stormwater runoff management and other co-benefits, we must improve our understanding of how climate (i.e.

A review of topsoil governance for mining and agriculture in South Africa and abroad
Topsoil is taken for granted as the dirt under our feet. Yet, humanity hinges on 15 cm of topsoil. As with potable water, topsoil is a natural resource we depend on daily. This review examines the chronological development of topsoil conservation through the governance of legal and other instruments since 1701. It highlights how topsoil is defined, its

Visualising the Urban Imaginary: Failure and Irresolution in an Urban Digital Twin
Short Abstract The article analyses the visualisation encountered in an urban digital twin to argue that recognising the visualisation as a representation of the city is dependent upon habituation to perceptual and computational practices. Through speculative engagement with moments of visual irresolution, the article highlights the importance of ...

Municipalities across the United States and the world face profound climate adaptation and mitigation challenges. To assess current engagement and future potential of various professional communities to communicate about and contribute to such efforts, we conducted 56 in‐depth interviews in Virginia with members of five communities of practice (elected

Quantifying Thermal Characteristics of Stormwater through Low Impact Development Systems
Urbanization causes alteration of the thermal regime (surface, air, and water) of the environment. Heated stormwater runoff flows into lakes, streams, bays, and estuaries, which potentially increases the base temperature of the surface water.

Impact of Seasonal Composition on the Long‐Term Performance of Post‐Consumer Recycled Polypropylene
Ten batches of post‐consumer polypropylene recyclate were examined over a period of 15 months. Despite identical MFR and density specifications, there were significant differences in their composition, affecting mechanical performance. Elongation at break and crack resistance varied particularly strongly.
