Right tree, right place, right reason: Using knowledge exchange and research co‐design to explore current challenges and opportunities for sustainable urban forest management

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The urban forest provides important environmental and health and well‐being benefits to people living in cities. However, sustainable management of urban trees is challenging as they face interrelated pressures from the urban environment, pests and diseases and climate change.

Multi-scale analysis of the surface layer urban heat island effect in five higher density precincts of central Sydney [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The urban heat island (UHI) effect is invariably present in cities, mainly due to increased urbanisation. It can result in higher urban densities being significantly hotter (frequently more than 4°C, even up to 10°C) than their peri-urban surroundings ...

Potential distribution and susceptibility of Coffea arabica L. to climate change impacts

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Ecological niche models (ENMs) are vital for understanding the impact of historical factors on ecosystems and predicting future climate change scenarios. These models help assess how environmental shifts affect agricultural species like coffee, which supports millions of people globally.

Applications of HCMM satellite data [PDF]

open access: yes
Underflight data were radiometrically calibrated at several locations and surface water temperature measurements were made for several areas approximating the field of view of the HCMM sensor in a study of the thermal properties of Lake Ontario and Lake ...

Satellite-derived land surface parameters for mesoscale modelling of the Mexico City basin

open access: yes, 2005
International audienceMesoscale meteorological modelling is an important tool to help understand air pollution and heat island effects in urban areas. Accurate wind simulations are difficult to obtain in areas of weak synoptic forcing. Local factors have

Using dendroclimatic analysis of exotic deciduous conifers in an arboretum to document tree growth in response to climate change, Northeast Ohio, USA

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Rising temperatures and wetter conditions in the Midcontinent of North America are influencing climate responses in trees. Dendroclimatological analyses of four exotic deciduous conifer species from Secrest Arboretum, Northeast Ohio help identify past, present and future climate‐tree interactions.

Unravelling indoor temperature response to summer heat through long‐term crowdsourced observations in Dutch residences

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study analysed and modelled summertime indoor temperature dynamics in the Netherlands using a unique long‐term crowdsourced dataset from seven residences (spanning 2–27 years). Indoor temperatures were found to rise and cool more slowly than outdoors (mean 260 minute lag), with heatwave signals persisting about five days.
