Global climate change is increasing the frequency of unpredictable weather conditions; however, it remains unclear how species-level and geographic factors, including body size and latitude, moderate impacts of unusually warm or cool temperatures on diseas ...
The rural to urban migration trend at the world’s Delta regions has contributed to making cities along major Deltas in South East Asia, among those with the highest densities in urbanized territories. Once known as the ‘rice bowl’ of Vietnam, the Mekong De ...
The environment is a space that surrounds, encloses, encircles. The object is a thing that limits a place and a point of view. To think of architecture as an “environmental object” means to question this dynamic of separation and imagine a discipline that ...
Due to its enormous size and capital base, the insurance industry has the potential to play a key role in countering climate change. To this end, the major capital flows associated with its investment and underwriting businesses would need to be redirected ...
Ensemble modelling was used to assess the robustness of projected impacts of pumped-storage (PS) operation and climate change on reservoir ice cover. To this end, three one-dimensional and a two-dimensional laterally averaged hydrodynamic model were set up ...
In this letter, we recall that young people's concerns about climate change are based on our best scientific knowledge and that the measures taken so far by our authorities to protect the climate and the biosphere are far from up to the threat. We therefor ...
Introduction Health and climate change are inexorably linked through the exacerbation of health risks and the contribution of the health sector to greenhouse gas emissions. Climate action in healthcare settings is critical to reduce risks and impacts of cl ...
The cryosphere, which comprises a large portion of Earth's surface, is rapidly changing as a consequence of global climate change. Ice, snow, and frozen ground in the polar and alpine regions of the planet are known to directly impact atmospheric compositi ...
The planning support system URBio is demonstrated via two case studies. Both case studies are located in the canton of Geneva. The first case study is a greenfield planning project, where the goal is to build a new district on former agricultural land. The ...
Climate warming affects plant physiology through genetic adaptation and phenotypic plasticity, but little is known about how these mechanisms influence ecosystem processes. We used three elevation gradients and a reciprocal transplant experiment to show th ...
