Heat waves (HWs) can cause large socioeconomic and environmental impacts. The
observed increases in their frequency, intensity and duration are projected to continue with …

Heat extremes (ie, heatwaves) already have a serious impact on human health, with ageing,
poverty, and chronic illnesses as aggravating factors. As the global community seeks to …

Rapid urban expansion has profound impacts on global biodiversity through habitat
conversion, degradation, fragmentation, and species extinction. However, how future urban …

The population experiencing high temperatures in cities is rising due to anthropogenic
climate change, settlement expansion, and population growth. Yet, efficient tools to evaluate …

The local climate zone (LCZ) system provides a universal classification mechanism for
urban and natural landscapes and plays an increasingly important role in urban climate …

Global warming has been changing the planet's climate pattern, leading to increasing
frequency, intensity and duration of extreme weather events and natural disasters. These …

Background The health impacts of climate warming are usually quantified based on daily
average temperatures. However, extra health risks might result from hot nights. We project …

Warming trends in cities are influenced both by large-scale climate processes and by local-
scale urbanization. However, little is known about how surface warming trends of global …

Building detection from very high resolution (VHR) optical remote sensing images, which is
an essential but challenging task in remote sensing, has attracted increased attention in …

Compound dry-hot extreme (CDHE) events pose greater risks to the environment, society,
and human health than their univariate counterparts. Here, we project decadal-length …
