The Role of Subsurface Changes and Environmental Factors in Shaping Urban Heat Islands in Southern Xinjiang

Remote Sensing
The urban heat island (UHI) effect is one of the most prominent surface climate changes driven by human activities. This study examines the UHI characteristics and influencing factors in the Southern Xinjiang urban agglomeration using MODIS satellite ...

Back to the future: Using ancient Bere barley landraces for a sustainable future

Plants, People, Planet
Societal Impact Statement Bere is an ancient barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) that was once widely grown in northern Britain, where its ability to grow on poor soils and under challenging climatic conditions made it a valuable staple.

Uniqueness of solutions to Hamilton-Jacobi equations arising in the Calculus of Variations

, 2000
We prove the uniqueness of the viscosity solution to the Hamilton-Jacobi equation associated with a Bolza problem of the Calculus of Variations, assuming that the Lagrangian is autonomous, continuous, superlinear, and satisfies the usual convexity ...

Association between urban heat island and type 2 diabetes risk: genetic and proteomic insights

Environment International
Background: The urban heat island (UHI) effect is increasingly recognized as an environmental risk factor for human health, yet its association with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Effects of the Western Pacific Subtropical High on the urban heat island characteristics in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, China

Computational Urban Science
The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are frequently affected by the Western Pacific Subtropical High (WPSH) in summer. This leads to phenomena including air subsidence, high temperatures, low rainfall, and weak winds, all of which affect the

How does urbanization process affect urban heat island effect? Interpretation of 31 cities in China based on local climate zones

Environmental Research Letters
Urbanization has dramatically reshaped the urban landscape and intensified the urban heat island (UHI) effect in recent decades. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of UHI across 31 major Chinese cities from 2000 to 2020, using the local ...

Pairwise‐Interaction Model Unifies Different Asymptotic Shapes of UHI Intensity

Geophysical Research Letters
City size is a primary determinant of the urban heat island (UHI) intensity, with its effects further nuanced by the urban form. But how to factor in the urban form into the UHI assessment remains unresolved.
