UCanWBGT: urban street canyon heat stress calculation for weather and climate models

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This work introduces UCanWBGT, a new model to calculate wet‐bulb globe temperature in an urban environment, suitable for use with weather and climate model data. We present the model, then verify its performance against observations made in the streets of Paris during heatwave conditions.

Centering Care in Transformative Climate Change Education: A Theoretical Framework for Communal Learning Ecosystems

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research‐practice partnerships addressing climate change education face challenges navigating political resistance, epistemic tensions, and systemic inequities within schools and communities. Recent scholarship has outlined transformative climate change education (TCCE) as requiring the simultaneous transformation of curricula, pedagogies, and

Urban Forests and Environmental Challenges in the Last Decades in Brazil: Insights for the National Urban Forestry Plan

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT National afforestation policies are crucial for outlining guidelines and goals to be implemented at the local level. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct research that systematizes indicators from across the country into a single proposal. This study examines the spatiotemporal distribution of urban forest research in Brazil from 1980 to 2020 ...

Classification and modelling of urban micro-climates using multisensoral and multitemporal remote sensing data

, 2012
Remote sensing has widely been used in urban climatology since it has the advantage of a simultaneous synoptic view of the full urban surface. Methods include the analysis of surface temperature patterns, spatial (biophysical) indicators for urban heat ...

Uncovering Semantic Patterns in Sustainability Research: A Systematic NLP Review

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study maps how Natural Language Processing (NLP) contributes to sustainability. Using a PRISMA‐guided review of 131 English‐language articles from Web of Science (2018–2025), we combine bibliometric co‐word mapping with BERTopic to derive complementary structural and semantic views. Four themes emerge: Topic 0—Climate Change Discourse and
