Tropical South American Rainfall Response to Dansgaard-Oeschger Stadials of Marine Isotope Stage 5

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Tropical precipitation patterns will most likely be altered by future climate change, with major socioeconomic consequences for human populations that are highly reliant on water availability for subsistence like populations in northeastern (NE) Brazil ...

Sustainable Building Design for Tropical Climates [PDF]

, 2019
The “Handbook-Sustainable Building Design for Tropical Climates” considers the impact of the construction sector on climate change, estimating that the building stock that will be built in Sub-Saharan Africa by 2050 will be three times greater than the current overall building stock of Europe. The purpose of the handbook is to offer an easy-to-use tool

Sector-specific carbon emission trajectories in Beijing (2025–2035): a STIRPAT–LEAP coupled framework for identifying optimal decarbonization pathways

Frontiers in Environmental Science
The two-fold carbon ambitions of China of ensuring its emissions peak prior to 2030 and carbon-neutrality before 2060 presuppose sectoral decarbonization plans to suit heterogeneous technological and economic limitations.

Impact of COVID-19 Control Measures on Trace Gases (NO2, HCHO and SO2) and Aerosols over India during Pre-monsoon of 2020

Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 2020
To prevent the transmission of COVID-19, India implemented country-wide restrictions on socio-economic activities. Using satellite observations for the pre-monsoon (March–April–May) season, we explore the effect of the extended lockdown, on nitrogen ...

A remote sensing framework for predicting and managing waste generation in tropical highland agroecosystems: case study of land use transitions in cameron highlands, Malaysia

Scientific Reports
Urbanisation, agriculture, and tourism are rapidly transforming land use and land cover (LULC) in tropical highland agroecosystems. In the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia, these transitions are closely associated with rising volumes of solid waste, yet the ...

An umbrella review of health co-benefits from actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

The Lancet Planetary Health
Background: There have been many modelled studies of potential health co-benefits from actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but so far there have been no large-scale attempts to compare the magnitude of health and climate effects across sectors ...

Tropical vegetation response to Heinrich Event 1 as simulated with the UVic ESCM and CCSM3 [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2013
We investigated changes in tropical climate and vegetation cover associated with abrupt climate change during Heinrich Event 1 (HE1, ca. 17.5 ka BP) using two different global climate models: the University of Victoria Earth System-Climate Model (UVic ...
