Temperature affects many life processes, but its effect might be expected to differ among
eukaryotic organisms inhabiting similar environments. We reviewed literature on …

Background The link between heat exposure and adverse health outcomes in workers is
well documented and a growing body of epidemiological evidence from various countries …

Our current 1.1 C warmer world is already affecting natural and human systems in Europe
(very high confidence1). Since AR5, there has been a substantial increase in detected or …

Compound and cascading natural hazards usually cause more severe impacts than any of
the single hazard events alone. Despite the significant impacts of compound hazards, many …

The mean radiant temperature (MRT) and the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) are
widely used as human biometeorology parameters to assess the linkages between outdoor …

Assessing heatwave-induced human health risk is of critical importance in order to mitigate
hazards caused by extreme environmental events. Air temperature or land surface …

Air temperature has been the most commonly used exposure metric in assessing
relationships between thermal stress and mortality. Lack of the high-quality meteorological …

Global warming is leading to increased heat stress in many regions around the world. An
extensive number of heat stress indicators (HSIs) has been developed to measure the …

This study set out to understand the dynamics of human thermal sensation and perception
associated with outdoor thermal variability in urban contexts. Previous studies found that …

The capability to evaluate city-scale outdoor thermal comfort is crucial for understanding the
public's experience of heat stress, especially during heat waves. Nevertheless, there …
