  • Barcelona residents’ concerns of heatwaves, air pollution, and noise

    Open AccessÀlex Boso, Christian Oltra et al.ARTICLESocial Science Information2025

    Environmental stressors pose significant threats to human well-being, especially in urban areas. While extensive research—particularly in the United States—has documented higher exposures in socially vulnerable neighborhoods, studies that examine and compare residents’ perceptions of multiple environmental risks, while also accounting for actual exposure levels and neighborhood characteristics, remain relatively more limited. Our study addresses …

  • Can your smartwatch measure ambient air temperature

    Open AccessMahya Parchami, Negin Nazarian et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Despite ongoing efforts to collect high-resolution datasets that capture the spatial distribution of urban heat, there remains a gap in human-centric monitoring that focuses on the immediate environment of individuals experiencing heat exposure. To address this, we explored three different models for predicting air temperature in dynamic outdoor settings using wrist-mounted wearable sensors. Data was collected for 22 d between 2020 and 2024 in Sy…

  • Analysis of urban heat island and human thermal comfort in a Mediterranean city

  • A global map of local climate zones to support earth system modelling and urban-scale environmental science

    Open AccessMatthias Demuzere, Jonas Kittner et al.ARTICLEEarth System Science Data2022

    There is a scientific consensus on the need for spatially detailed information on urban landscapes at a global scale. These data can support a range of environmental services, since cities are places of intense resource consumption and waste generation and of concentrated infrastructure and human settlement exposed to multiple hazards of natural and anthropogenic origin. In the face of climate change, urban data are also required to explore futur…

  • Cooling hot cities

    Open AccessE Scott Krayenhoff, Ashley M Broadbent et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Infrastructure-based heat reduction strategies can help cities adapt to high temperatures, but simulations of their cooling potential yield widely varying predictions. We systematically review 146 studies from 1987 to 2017 that conduct physically based numerical modelling of urban air temperature reduction resulting from green-blue infrastructure and reflective materials. Studies are grouped into two modelling scales: neighbourhood scale, buildin…

  • Project Coolbit

    Open AccessNegin Nazarian, Sijie Liu et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Global climate is changing as a result of anthropogenic warming, leading to higher daily excursions of temperature in cities. Such elevated temperatures have great implications on human thermal comfort and heat stress, which should be closely monitored. Current methods for heat exposure assessments (surveys, microclimate measurements, and laboratory experiments), however, present several limitations: measurements are scattered in time and space a…

  • CFD modelling of vegetation barrier effects on the reduction of traffic-related pollutant concentration in an avenue of Pamplona, Spain

  • Effects of anthropogenic heat due to air-conditioning systems on an extreme high temperature event in Hong Kong

    Open AccessY Wang, Yichen Li et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    Anthropogenic heat flux is the heat generated by human activities in the urban canopy layer, which is considered the main contributor to the urban heat island (UHI). The UHI can in turn increase the use and energy consumption of air-conditioning systems. In this study, two effective methods for water-cooling air-conditioning systems in non-domestic areas, including the direct cooling system and central piped cooling towers (CPCTs), are physically…

  • Overview of current regional and local scale air quality modelling practices

    Open AccessPhilippe Thunis, A Miranda et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2016Cited by: 2References: 1

    The 2008 European Air Quality Directive (AQD) (2008/50/EC) encourages the use of models in combination with monitoring in a range of applications. It also requires Member States to design appropriate air quality plans for zones where the air quality does not comply with the AQD limit values. In order to cope with these various elements, a wide range of different modeling methods have been developed and applied by EU Member States in the last deca…

  • The integrated WRF/urban modelling system

    Open AccessFei Chen, Hiroyuki Kusaka et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2011

    To bridge the gaps between traditional mesoscale modelling and microscale modelling, the National Center for Atmospheric Research, in collaboration with other agencies and research groups, has developed an integrated urban modelling system coupled to the weather research and forecasting (WRF) model as a community tool to address urban environmental issues. The core of this WRF/urban modelling system consists of the following: (1) three methods wi…
