  • The influence of urban morphological changes on pluvial flooding during urban expansion

    Open AccessYue Zhu, Paolo Burlando et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2025

    Examined how urban form changes influence pluvial flooding using urban expansion data • Revealed key urban form indicators and their interplay associated with changing flood volume • Observed a threshold effect with increasing pre-expansion urban coverage • Compact green spaces with limited total imperviousness can mitigate flood risk • Provides actionable insights for planning flood-resilient urban growth Urban expansion alters landscape structu…

  • Hydrological regimes and evaporative flux partitioning at the climatic ends of high mountain Asia

    Open AccessStefan Fugger, Thomas E Shaw et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    High elevation headwater catchments are complex hydrological systems that seasonally buffer water and release it in the form of snow and ice melt, modulating downstream runoff regimes and water availability. In High Mountain Asia (HMA), where a wide range of climates from semi-arid to monsoonal exist, the importance of the cryospheric contributions to the water budget varies with the amount and seasonal distribution of precipitation. Losses due t…

  • Global variation in contributions to human well-being from urban vegetation ecosystem services

  • Diurnal and seasonal patterns of global urban dry islands

    Open AccessNaika Meili, Athanasios Paschalis et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Urban heat islands (UHIs) are a widely studied phenomenon, while research on urban-rural differences in humidity, the so called urban dry or moisture islands (UDIs, UMIs), is less common and a large-scale quantification of the seasonal and diurnal patterns of the UDI is still lacking. However, quantification of the UDI/UMI effect is essential to understand the impacts of humidity on outdoor thermal comfort, building energy consumption, and urban …

  • Urban vegetation cooling potential during heatwaves depends on background climate

    Open AccessJiacheng Zhao, Naika Meili et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    The capacity of vegetation to mitigate excessive urban heat has been well documented. However, the cooling potential provided by urban vegetation during heatwaves is less known even though heatwaves have been projected to be more severe with climate change. Across 24 global metropolises, we combine 30 m resolution satellite observations with a theoretical leaf energy balance model to quantify the change of the leaf-to-air temperature difference a…

  • Multi-decadal monsoon characteristics and glacier response in High Mountain Asia

    Open AccessThomas E Shaw, Evan Miles et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Glacier health across High Mountain Asia (HMA) is highly heterogeneous and strongly governed by regional climate, which is variably influenced by monsoon dynamics and the westerlies. We explore four decades of glacier energy and mass balance at three climatically distinct sites across HMA by utilising a detailed land surface model driven by bias-corrected Weather Research and Forecasting meteorological forcing. All three glaciers have experienced…

  • Covariation of vegetation and climate constrains present and future T/ET variability

    Open AccessAthanasios Paschalis, Simone Fatichi et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    The reliable partitioning of the terrestrial latent heat flux into evaporation (E) and transpiration (T) is important for linking carbon and water cycles and for better understanding ecosystem functioning at local, regional and global scales. Previous research revealed that the transpiration-to-evapotranspiration ratio (T/ET) is well constrained across ecosystems and is nearly independent of vegetation characteristics and climate. Here we investi…

  • Ecohydrological changes after tropical forest conversion to oil palm

    Open AccessGabriele Manoli, Ana Meijide et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    Given their ability to provide food, raw material and alleviate poverty, oil palm (OP) plantations are driving significant losses of biodiversity-rich tropical forests, fuelling a heated debate on ecosystem degradation and conservation. However, while OP-induced carbon emissions and biodiversity losses have received significant attention, OP water requirements have been marginalized and little is known on the ecohydrological changes (water and su…
