  • Aligning evidence generation and use across health, development, and environment

    Open AccessHeather Tallis, Katharine Kreis et al.ARTICLECurrent Opinion in Environmental…2019Referencias: 6

    Although health, development, and environment challenges are interconnected, evidence remains fractured across sectors due to methodological and conceptual differences in research and practice. Aligned methods are needed to support Sustainable Development Goal advances and similar agendas. The Bridge Collaborative, an emergent research-practice collaboration, presents principles and recommendations that help harmonize methods for evidence generat…

  • The surface urban heat island response to urban expansion

    Open AccessXiaoma Li, Yuyu Zhou et al.ARTICLEThe Science of The Total…2017

  • Impact of urbanization on US surface climate

    Open AccessLahouari Bounoua, Ping Zhang et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    We combine Landsat and MODIS data in a land model to assess the impact of urbanization on US surface climate. For cities built within forests, daytime urban land surface temperature (LST) is much higher than that of vegetated lands. For example, in Washington DC and Atlanta, daytime mean temperature differences between impervious and vegetated lands reach 3.3 and 2.0 °C, respectively. Conversely, for cities built within arid lands, such as Phoeni…

  • A global map of urban extent from nightlights

    Open AccessYuyu Zhou, Steven J Smith et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    Urbanization, a major driver of global change, profoundly impacts our physical and social world, for example, altering not just water and carbon cycling, biodiversity, and climate, but also demography, public health, and economy. Understanding these consequences for better scientific insights and effective decision-making unarguably requires accurate information on urban extent and its spatial distributions. We developed a method to map the urban…

  • Linking Climate to Incidence of Zoonotic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (L. major) in Pre-Saharan North Africa

    Open AccessLahouari Bounoua, Kholoud Kahime et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2013

    Shifts in surface climate may have changed the dynamic of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ZCL) in the pre-Saharan zones of North Africa. Caused by Leishmania major, this form multiplies in the body of rodents serving as reservoirs of the disease. The parasite is then transmitted to human hosts by the bite of a Phlebotomine sand fly (Diptera: Psychodidae) that was previously fed by biting an infected reservoir. We examine the seasonal and intera…

  • Bright is the new black—multi-year performance of high-albedo roofs in an urban climate

    Open AccessStuart R Gaffin, Marc L Imhoff et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2012

    High-albedo white and cool roofing membranes are recognized as a fundamental strategy that dense urban areas can deploy on a large scale, at low cost, to mitigate the urban heat island effect. We are monitoring three generic white membranes within New York City that represent a cross section of the dominant white membrane options for US flat roofs: (1) an ethylene–propylene–diene monomer (EPDM) rubber membrane; (2) a thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO…

  • Remote sensing of the urban heat island effect across biomes in the continental USA

  • An Overview of Terra Mission Results Related to the Carbon Cycle

    Open AccessMarc L Imhoff, Robert Wolfe et al.ARTICLEGeography Compass2009Referencias: 50

    Launched in December 1999 as the Earth Observing System's flagship observatory, the Terra Mission (formerly EOS AM-1) carries a suite of five instruments that collect comprehensive global measurements of earth's atmosphere, cryosphere, lands, and oceans. One of the mission's science goals is the collection of data that will enable a better quantitative understanding of earth's carbon cycle through direct observation of atmospheric constituents an…

  • Biodiversity, Urban Areas, and Agriculture

    Open AccessTaylor H Ricketts, Taylor Ricketts et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2003

    "Urbanization and agriculture are two of the most important threats to biodiversity worldwide. The intensities of these land-use phenomena, however, as well as levels of biodiversity itself, differ widely among regions. Thus, there is a need to develop a quick but rigorous method of identifying where high levels of human threats and biodiversity coincide. These areas are clear priorities for biodiversity conservation. In this study, we combine di…
