Fluorescent Colored Passive Radiative Cooling Based on Carbon Dots for Cooling Power Recovery

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
We demonstrate colored passive radiative coolers consisting of a highly reflective porous ceramic base covered by an eco‐friendly luminescent carbon dot‐polymer composite, with two types of carbon dots enabling conversion of either ultraviolet or visible light, respectively.

Spatiotemporal evolution characteristics and driving factors of heat island effect based on territorial perspective: A case study of Beibu Gulf urban agglomeration, China

Ecological Indicators
The heat island effect has far-reaching impacts on human settlements and natural ecosystems. Current research predominantly focuses on urban areas and overlooks the broader natural ecosystems beyond urban boundaries.

Identification of Thermal Environment Networks in the Wanjiang Urban Agglomeration Based on MSPA and Circuit Theory

Land
With the acceleration of urbanization, the high density and intensity of urban construction and expansion have led to an exacerbation of the urban heat island (UHI) effect, which, in turn, contributes to global climate warming and severely impacts urban ...

Study on Riparian Shading Envelope for Wetlands to Create Desirable Urban Bioclimates

Atmosphere, 2020
Climate change and rapid urbanization are adversely affecting the urban environment by exacerbating the widely reported urban heat island effect in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Two wetland areas with variable riparian shadings in the warm-humid conditions of urban

Multi‐Timescale Drought Evolution in Greece (1960–2022) From Station‐Based SPI and SPEI

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Using homogenized data from 67 HNMS stations in Greece (1960–2022), we calculated SPI and SPEI at 1–12‐month scales to characterize meteorological to hydrological drought. We quantified the network‐based spatial extent of drought, compared SPI and SPEI drought signals, and tested changes with autocorrelation‐robust Mann–Kendall trends and Pettitt ...

Modelling the urban heat island intensities of alternative urban growth management policies in Brisbane [PDF]

, 2017
When urban areas experience higher temperature than their surrounding rural areas, this phenomenon is called the urban heat island (UHI) effect. UHI contributes to global warming.

Contrasting Heatwave Regimes in Dry and Humid Subtropical Mexico: A Station‐Based Probabilistic Assessment

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Heatwaves have intensified under a warming climate, producing substantial environmental and societal impacts. This study characterizes heatwave regimes in two contrasting regions of Mexico using a percentile‐based threshold and a Poisson distribution framework.
