  • A local climate perspective on possible development pathways for Longyearbyen, Svalbard

    Open AccessIgor Esau, Victoria MilesARTICLEPolar Record2024References: 89

    Arctic human settlements experience formidable challenges from accelerating climate change and environmental transformations. While these towns have demonstrated adaptive resilience, the looming threat of local climate extremes raises concerns about the results of adaptation and mitigation efforts. With the further development of Arctic settlements, it is necessary to consider changes in local climatic conditions, shifting the adaptation focus fr…

  • Using web GIS to promote stakeholder understanding of scientific results in sustainable urban development

    Open AccessVictoria Miles, Igor Esau et al.ARTICLESustainable Development2023References: 6

    This paper highlights the importance of improving stakeholder understanding of environmental factors such as air quality and the urban heat island effect to achieve sustainable development goals. While accurate spatial and temporal environmental data are critical for sustainable solutions, the challenge lies in translating complex environmental information for non‐specialists. To solve this problem, we propose using web GIS storytelling as a powe…

  • An enhanced integrated approach to knowledgeable high-resolution environmental quality assessment

    Open AccessIgor Esau, Leonid Bobylev et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2021References: 3

    Sustaining urban environmental quality requires effective policy measures that integrate local monitoring and contextualized high-resolution modelling with actionable scenarios. Knowledgeable decision making in this field can nowadays be supported by an array of atmospheric models, but their transfer into an Integrated Urban hydrometeorological, climate and environmental Services (IUS) remains challenging. Methodological aspects that are beyond p…

  • Varying climate response across the tundra, forest-tundra and boreal forest biomes in northern West Siberia

    Open AccessMartin W Miles, Victoria Miles et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Satellite studies using the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) have revealed changes in northern Eurasian vegetation productivity in recent decades, including greening in tundra and browning in the boreal forests. However, apparent NDVI changes and relationships to climate depend on the temporal and spatial sampling and the biome and forest-land cover type studied. Here we perform a consistent analysis of NDVI and climate across four b…

  • Systematic errors in northern Eurasian short-term weather forecasts induced by atmospheric boundary layer thickness

    Open AccessIgor Esau, M A Tolstykh et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    Systematic errors in forecast near-surface air temperature (SAT) still constitute a considerable problem for numerical weather prediction (NWP) at high latitudes. Numerous studies in the past have attempted to reduce this problem through recalibration of physical parameterization schemes and better approximation of the surface energy budget. The errors, however, remain despite notable improvements in the overall weather forecast performance. This…

  • Spatial heterogeneity of greening and browning between and within bioclimatic zones in northern West Siberia

    Open AccessVictoria Miles, Igor EsauARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    Studies of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) have found broad changes in vegetation productivity in high northern latitudes in the past decades, including increases in NDVI (‘greening’) in tundra regions and decreases (‘browning’) in forest regions. The causes of these changes are not well understood but have been attributed to a variety of factors.Weuse Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) satellite data for 2000–2014…

  • Text-Based On-Line Conferencing

    James Mccarthy, Victoria Miles et al.ARTICLEHuman-Computer Interaction1993

    This article is concerned with an analysis of the requirements for text-based on-line conferencing. From a system perspective, text-based on-line conferencing can be viewed as either message passing or data sharing. These complementary views give rise to different design dimensions. For example, the message-passing view is concerned with granularity, channels, message labels, and so on. The data-sharing view is concerned with the access different…
