Public Understanding of Water‐Sensitive Urban Design and Implications for Land Use Planning: Insights From Aotearoa New Zealand

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
Conventional urban drainage systems are frequently found to contribute to degradation of urban watercourses. The implementation of Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) and associated nature‐based infrastructure is considered one potential solution to mitigate stormwater‐induced degradation.

Advancing Circular Strategies in Photovoltaics: Assessing Reuse Readiness Across Technical, Economic, and Environmental Dimensions in a Case Study

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Volume 34, Issue 9, Page 1077-1099, September 2026.
This study examines the reuse readiness of photovoltaic modules through the Swiss PV Circle project. Results confirm technical feasibility with cost savings from targeted preselection, whereas economic viability depends on module age, testing, and market conditions.

Water Availability and Hydraulic Strategies Control Leaf Thermoregulation and Damage During Heat Stress and Recovery in Temperate Tree Species

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 6296-6310, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Heatwaves are intensifying worldwide, often coinciding with high vapour pressure deficit (VPD) and soil drought. Yet, how temperate tree species tolerate these combined stresses remains elusive. Using single‐tree gas‐exchange chambers, we examined the response of leaf gas exchange and thermoregulation of three broadleaved tree species to a ...

Formulation and Implementation of a Dynamic Roughness Length for Improved Surface Wind Speeds in WRF

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Accurate near‐surface winds from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model are essential for wind‐energy applications, yet persistent biases remain that depend on terrain, season, and land cover. This study develops and evaluates an observation‐informed, time‐varying aerodynamic roughness length for WRF. The roughness length is inferred

Cultural geography of heat: Artistic experiments with heat’s animacies

Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2026.
A sustained, cultural geographical engagement with heat is long overdue. I advance this agenda by engaging with the work of contemporary artists. Artists are responding to uneven conditions of global heating by exploring heat’s animacies: how heat interweaves with the practices and textures of life.

Global Climatology of the Daytime Surface Cooling of Urban Parks Using Satellite Observations

Geophysical Research Letters
Green infrastructure‐based heat mitigation strategies can help alleviate the overheating burden on urban residents. While the cooling effect of parks has been explored in individual satellite‐based studies, a global, multi‐year investigation has been ...

Early‐Life Disaster Exposure and the Investment Response to Monetary Policy

Financial Review, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 701-723, August 2026.
ABSTRACT We place CEOs' formative experiences at the center of analyzing how firms respond to monetary policy. Specifically, we examine how early‐life exposure to natural disasters shapes CEOs’ investment behavior following monetary shocks. CEOs with exposure to moderate natural disasters during their formative years exhibit stronger risk‐taking ...

The Escalating Threat of Heatwaves in Central Asia: Climate Change Impacts and Public Health Risks

Global Challenges
Extreme temperature events, particularly heatwaves, are intensifying due to climate change and urbanization, posing major public health challenges in Central Asia (CA), where research is limited. Despite the rising frequency and severity of heat extremes,
