Influence of land use on urban climate of a small town - doi: 10.4025/actascitechnol.v35i2.13703

Acta Scientiarum: Technology, 2013
This study aimed to quantify the influence of anthropogenic activity in changing the microclimate of the urban area of a small town. To this end, the temperature and relative humidity were monitored over six days using a direct-reading thermo-hygrometers

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.

Fragmentation Across Scales, Geography, and Climate Challenges in European Urban Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Research: A Bibliometric and Systematic Review

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European urban climate change research lacks integration across scales, geography, and climate challenges, despite Europe's coordinated policy frameworks. Through a hybrid bibliometric and systematic review of 1528 studies (2010–2025) using Cortext Manager and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study maps the conceptual patterns, knowledge gaps, and

Agrivoltaic Lettuce Production Under Future Climates: A Sustainable Strategy for Optimizing Food and Energy Yields

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food system resilience is increasingly challenged by climate change and global trade volatility, even in high‐income nations like Canada. Agrivoltaics—co‐locating crops and photovoltaics (PV)–offers a sustainable production strategy to optimize land use and address both food and energy security.
