Urban Climates and Climate Change [PDF]

Annual Review of Environment and Resources, 2020
Cities are particularly vulnerable to extreme weather episodes, which are expected to increase with climate change. Cities also influence their own local climate, for example, through the relative warming known as the urban heat island (UHI) effect. This review discusses urban climate features (even in complex terrain) and processes.

Integration of urban science and urban climate adaptation research: opportunities to advance climate action. [PDF]

NPJ Urban Sustain, 2023
There is a growing recognition that responding to climate change necessitates urban adaptation. We sketch a transdisciplinary research effort, arguing that actionable research on urban adaptation needs to recognize the nature of cities as social networks

The condition of urban climate experimentation

Sustainability: Science, Practice, & Policy, 2023
As the trend of urban climate experimentation continues, many accounts now seek to identify how it can be harnessed toward responses of sufficient scale and magnitude for the crises at hand. The imperative is to move beyond experimentation.
