Rapid urbanisation is affecting people in different ways, with some becoming more
vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Africa's cities are projected to be home to nearly …

Nature‐based solutions for water‐resource challenges require advances in the science of
ecohydrology. Current understanding is limited by a shortage of observations and theories …

Since the 1950s, Europe has undergone large shifts in climate and land cover. Previous
assessments of past and future changes in evapotranspiration or streamflow have either …

Vegetation alters urban climates via transpirational cooling; however, unlike shorter
vegetation, trees additionally provide shade and shelter. Urban canopy models (UCMs) are …

Increasing urbanization is likely to intensify the urban heat island effect, decrease outdoor
thermal comfort, and enhance runoff generation in cities. Urban green spaces are often …

We combine Landsat and MODIS data in a land model to assess the impact of urbanization
on US surface climate. For cities built within forests, daytime urban land surface temperature …

Urbanization modifies surface energy and water budgets, and has significant impacts on
local and regional hydroclimate. In recent decades, a number of urban canopy models have …

Urbanization and climate change are driving increases in urban land surface temperatures
that pose a threat to human and environmental health. To address this challenge, we must …

As impervious surfaces have seized most areas in cities worldwide, urban heat island (UHI)
has become a global concern. Urban green infrastructures (UGI) are crucial to providing …

Urbanization-induced landuse changes alter runoff regimes in complex ways. In this study, a
detailed investigation of the urbanization impacts on runoff regimes is provided by using …
