Assessment of Human Thermal Stress Dynamics and Regional Drivers Across the Arabian Peninsula During 1990–2022 From Observations

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The results reveal that thermal stress varies substantially across the four AP regions, with winter cold stress in Region I, year‐round heat stress in Region II, pronounced summer heat stress in Region III, and persistent strong to very strong heat stress from late spring to early autumn in Region IV.

Accelerating Urban Heating Under Land-Cover and Climate Change Scenarios in Indonesia: Application of the Universal Thermal Climate Index

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment, 2021
Climate change causing an increase of frequency and magnitude of heat waves has a huge impact on the urban population worldwide. In Indonesia, the Southeast Asian country in the tropical climate zone, the increasing heat wave duration due to climate ...

Comfort in the canopy: How urban treescapes affect human thermal comfort in a temperate climate

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract People living in urban centres are exposed to higher levels of heat stress than those living outside of these areas; this is intensified by the urban heat island effect. Heat stress is a concern for the more vulnerable members of society and can exacerbate many medical conditions; excessive heat increases morbidity and mortality rates.

ERA5‐HEAT: A global gridded historical dataset of human thermal comfort indices from climate reanalysis

open access: yesGeoscience Data Journal, 2021
The mean radiant temperature (MRT) and the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) are widely used as human biometeorology parameters to assess the linkages between outdoor environment and human well‐being.

Fragmentation Across Scales, Geography, and Climate Challenges in European Urban Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Research: A Bibliometric and Systematic Review

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European urban climate change research lacks integration across scales, geography, and climate challenges, despite Europe's coordinated policy frameworks. Through a hybrid bibliometric and systematic review of 1528 studies (2010–2025) using Cortext Manager and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study maps the conceptual patterns, knowledge gaps, and

Regime Shifts During Compound Drought‐Heatwave Events Amplify Ecosystem and Heat Stress Risks

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Compound drought‐heatwave events (CDHEs) can cause severe ecological and socioeconomic impacts worldwide. However, their mechanisms are often inferred from seasonal statistics or event‐mean composites that obscure within‐event process evolution.

Trends in Heat Stress During Heat Waves Across Europe (1979–2023)

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract With heat waves becoming more frequent and intense under global warming, heat stress is a growing public health risk. We analyze heat stress trends (Simplified Wet Bulb Globe Temperature, sWBGT) during European heatwaves (1979–2023) using observations and reanalysis data.

Human Sun–Shade Adaptation Reshapes Global Outdoor Thermal Comfort Assessments

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Outdoor thermal comfort assessments typically assume static exposure to either sun‐exposed or shaded conditions, neglecting the common behavior of moving between sun and shade to regulate thermal stress during non‐occupational outdoor activities.
