We show here that population growth, resolved at the county level, is spatially
heterogeneous both among and within the US metropolitan statistical areas. Our analysis of …

Extreme heat continues to be a pressing challenge of the changing climate. The impacts of
extreme heat manifest on two different spatio-temporal scales:(1) episodic continent-wide …

A compact city is a urban area characterized by high density, mixed land use, and limited
sprawl, designed to promote sustainable development, reduce urban sprawl, and enhance …

As a result of ongoing global warming, approximately 30% of the world's population lives in
areas where the temperature reaches the death risk threshold at least 20 days a year. The …

This study examines the efficacy of urban spatial patterns at alleviating the urban heat island
(UHI) effect in Germany's city regions (Großstadtregionen) using multivariate and non …

In recent years, with rapid urbanization, the underlying urban surface has changed
dramatically. Various urban eco-environmental problems have emerged globally, among …

The paper presents results of a laboratory modeling of heat transfer processes in the
idealized urban landscape conditions. As an experimental model, we used a three …

In the context of current global warming, understanding urban thermal resilience (UTR)
dynamics across different climatic zones is crucial. This study aims to examine the complex …

Elevated urban air temperatures, driven by climate change and the urban heat island effect
(UHI), form a significant problem for human health as evidenced by increased mortality rates …

Cities experience the extensive urban heat island effect (UHI), which continue to pose
challenges for humanity's increasingly urban population, where tropical cities have …
