Urban Heat Island Effect In The Megacities Of The Philippines

International Journal of Environmental Sciences
The three megacities namely Cebu City, Davao City and Manila City are considered as highly urbanized cities in the Philippines. The migration of the rural dwellers to these cities are the cause of fast urbanization. To meet the demand for housing, better roads and economic growth, the use of land was shifted from natural ecosystems (such as vegetation,

Automated Lawn Maintenance: An Agronomic and Operational Review of Turf Health, Biodiversity, and Field Performance

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grass mowing is one of the most resource‐consuming activities in green maintenance, whether in private areas such as home gardens or in public spaces like urban parks. In recent years, concerns related to climate change, human health, and sustainability have become increasingly prominent in green maintenance, leading manufacturers and industry

Thermal Environment Characteristics of Local Climate Zones Based on Summer Stage Subdivision: An Observational Study in Shenyang, China

Land
Global warming and urbanization have exacerbated the urban heat island (UHI) effect, threatening human settlements and public health. Existing studies have primarily focused on analyzing urban thermal environment characteristics throughout the year or in

Strategies for Assessing Post‐Wildfire Geomorphic Resilience in Semiarid Rivers

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We review and summarize diverse components of a catchment that can be monitored after wildfire to assess the geomorphic resilience of the river corridor in semiarid regions. We distinguish upland portions of river catchments from river corridors.

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Numerical Studies on the Influence of Building Morphology on Urban Canopy Wind Speed

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
Buildings increase the urban surface roughness and reduce near‐surface wind speeds in the urban canopy due to the drag effect. Urban heat storage and other effects cause urban warming as well, which decreases the urban boundary layer stability and ...
