Climate risk assessment of buildings: An analysis of operating emissions of commercial offices in Australia
Building climate risk assessment involves benchmarking a building's energy use intensity against decarbonisation pathways to mitigate the impacts on climate change. Various climate risk assessment tools and frameworks are used for commercial buildings in d ...
Elsevier Science Sa2024Overview of the Alaskan Layered Pollution and Chemical Analysis (ALPACA) Field Experiment
Athanasios Nenes, Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini, Roman Pohorsky, Sukriti Kapur
The Alaskan Layered Pollution And Chemical Analysis (ALPACA) field experiment was a collaborative study designed to improve understanding of pollution sources and chemical processes during winter (cold climate and low-photochemical activity), to investigat ...
2024On the dependence of Water Use Efficiency on aridity.
Water use efficiency (WUE) describes how efficiently plants transpire water to assimilate carbon and produce biomass. Here, we used a variety of data sources, including leaf-level gas exchange measurements, tree-ring isotopes, flux-tower observations, and ...
2023Assessing the impact of urban heat islands on the risks and costs of temperature-related mortality
Ambient temperatures have an impact on human health, with unfavourably warm and cold conditions both associated with elevated mortality risk. By modulating the temperature in urban environments, urban heat islands (UHIs) can therefore both amplify the impa ...
2023Vegetation effects on climate and building energy demand in cities
Jian Wang, Gabriele Manoli, Paolo Burlando
Excessive heat in cities exacerbated by urban heat islands can negatively impact human health, building energy consumption, and urban ecosystems. Increasing urban greenery has often been proposed as an attractive mitigation strategy as vegetation can reduc ...
2023Multi-campaign ship and aircraft observations of marine cloud condensation nuclei and droplet concentrations
In-situ marine cloud droplet number concentrations (CDNCs), cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), and CCN proxies, based on particle sizes and optical properties, are accumulated from seven field campaigns: ACTIVATE; NAAMES; CAMP(2)EX; ORACLES; SOCRATES; MARCUS ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2023Climate Change Impacts on Groundwater Recharge in Cold and Humid Climates: Controlling Processes and Thresholds
Long-term changes in precipitation and temperature indirectly impact aquifers through groundwater recharge (GWR). Although estimates of future GWR are needed for water resource management, they are uncertain in cold and humid climates due to the wide range ...
2022Bridging the gap from test rooms to field-tests for human indoor comfort studies: A critical review of the sustainability potential of living laboratories
Occupants play a key role in determining final building energy consumption. Empirical evidence must support occupants' modelling. Experiments on human responses to Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) are usually performed in test rooms or as in-field monito ...
ELSEVIER2022Synthesizing the impacts of baseflow contribution on concentration-discharge (C-Q) relationships across Australia using a Bayesian hierarchical model
Understanding concentration-discharge (C - Q) relationships can inform catchment solute and particulate export processes. Previous studies have shown that the extent to which baseflow contributes to streamflow can affect C-Q relationships in some catchment ...
COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH2022A mechanistic assessment of urban heat island intensities and drivers across climates
The urban heat island effect (UHI) has been widely observed globally, causing climate, health, and energy impacts in cities. The UHI intensities have been found to largely depend on background climate and the properties of the urban fabric. Yet, a complete ...
