Exploring variations in heat shock protein 70 expression among vulnerable populations across urban and rural areas in Klang Valley [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
As global temperatures rise due to climate change, the occurrence and intensity of heat waves are anticipated to increase. Despite this anticipation, there remains a gap in comprehending the underlying defense mechanisms against heat stress, particularly

Assessing Progress in Urban Climate Adaptation: A Review of Indicators for Heat‐ and Water‐Sensitive Urban Development

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 4, Issue 1, June 2025.
We identified 27 indicators that were grouped into 5 key areas: (1) surface and urban overheating indicators; (2) building type and structure indicators; (3) green infrastructure indicators; (4) soil‐sealing indicators; and (5) water‐sensitive urban development indicators. We concluded in the review that green infrastructure and soil‐sealing indicators,

Overexposed and Understudied: Environmental Risks Among Older Adults Experiencing Homelessness in Phoenix, Arizona

GeoHealth, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Individuals experiencing homelessness are highly vulnerable to urban environmental hazards, such as heat and air pollution, due to a lack of stable housing and limited access to indoor or cooled spaces. These risks are heightened for older adults and individuals with preexisting health conditions.

Analysis of the complex role of trees in street canyons using a large‐eddy simulation model

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 151, Issue 769, April 2025 Part B.
Our large‐eddy simulations with high spatial resolution (down to 1 m) show a significant improvement in thermal comfort in shaded areas beneath trees during the hottest part of the day and just after sunset. However, they also highlight a drawback: in narrower streets, PM10 concentrations more than doubled compared with areas without trees, suggesting ...
