Rearrangement Towards Stability: Plastic Shakedown in Granular Materials Under Thermal Cycles

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Granular materials are routinely subjected to thermal cycling due to natural and anthropogenic phenomena. Despite the ubiquity of this occurrence and its relevance for science, engineering, and technology, the long‐term thermo‐mechanical response of granular materials to repeated heating and cooling remains poorly understood.

A study of the urban heat island effect in Guangzhou

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2022
Abstract As the world economy continues to grow and energy consumption increases, the global climate is gradually warming. Among them, the economic activities in metropolitan areas are more intense compared to other areas, forming an urban heat island effect where the temperature in the urban area is higher than that in the surrounding ...

Thermal management of an unconsolidated shallow urban groundwater body [PDF]

, 2013
This study presents the development of tools for the sustainable thermal management of a shallow unconsolidated urban groundwater body in the city of Basel (Switzerland). The concept of the investigations is based on (1) a characterization of the present

Home and away: allometry and climate drive morphology of European rabbits in their native and introduced range

Oikos, EarlyView.
Climatic conditions shape phenotypic evolution by driving adaptations that optimise organismal function. Invasive species provide valuable systems to study these processes, as they often encounter novel climatic conditions in their introduced ranges. The European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus, native to the Iberian Peninsula, has established populations

Effects of Topography on the Urban Heat Island

, 2005
The UHI development for the ZGA was modelled with the three dimensional non-hydrostatic mesoscale model MEMO, for two different cases (9-10 June and 17-23 July 2004). The results demonstrated a successful multi-day simulation in the ZGA and a good agreement with the available observations.

Disproportionate exposure to urban heat island intensity – The case study of Győr, Hungary

Hungarian Geographical Bulletin
Extensive research has shown that urbanisation has a profound effect on the local climate system, leading to the formation of urban heat island.

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

People 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.

Development and appraisal of long-term adaptation pathways for managing heat-risk in London

Climate Risk Management, 2017
The risk of residential overheating and mortality is increasing due to the effects of global warming and the urban heat island effect and needs to be addressed through climate change adaptation.

Urban Heat Island: Measure, visualise, change (Phase 2 report)

, 2022
The City of Ipswich has partnered with Griffith University and Sunshine Coast University to conduct a three-year analysis about the identification of urban heat island (UHI), the residents’ perceptions about urban heat and how changes in urban design ...

Caring with forests: Human and more‐than‐human care in forest occupations in Germany

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing on ongoing ethnographic and participatory action research within forest occupations in Germany, this paper develops the concept of ‘caring with forests’ to theorise the mutual, multidimensional relationships of care that emerge between humans and more‐than‐human beings in environmental protest settings.
