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.

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

Regime Shifts During Compound Drought‐Heatwave Events Amplify Ecosystem and Heat Stress Risks

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Compound drought‐heatwave events (CDHEs) can cause severe ecological and socioeconomic impacts worldwide. However, their mechanisms are often inferred from seasonal statistics or event‐mean composites that obscure within‐event process evolution.

Bioclimatic conditions of Lublin based on the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI)

Miscellanea Geographica: Regional Studies on Development, 2020
The objective of this paper is to describe bioclimatic conditions in Lublin and Radawiec in the period 1976–2015 using the UTCI index. The paper shows that in Lublin and Radawiec, the most frequent biometeorological conditions caused no heat stress and ...

Trends in Heat Stress During Heat Waves Across Europe (1979–2023)

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract With heat waves becoming more frequent and intense under global warming, heat stress is a growing public health risk. We analyze heat stress trends (Simplified Wet Bulb Globe Temperature, sWBGT) during European heatwaves (1979–2023) using observations and reanalysis data.

Human Sun–Shade Adaptation Reshapes Global Outdoor Thermal Comfort Assessments

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Outdoor thermal comfort assessments typically assume static exposure to either sun‐exposed or shaded conditions, neglecting the common behavior of moving between sun and shade to regulate thermal stress during non‐occupational outdoor activities.
