A global phenomenon identified 200 years ago as Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect gained popularity as the sheer contributor to the precipitous temperature gradient between rural and urban interface, instigating excess heat gain and associated ill effects on the urban dwellers. UHI is a function of...

Solar Geoengineering (SG) is a set of potential technologies to counteract climate change. While SG can only imperfectly compensate for temperature changes at the regional level, studies assessing regional SG impacts indicated so far that regional temperature disparities from SG may not be as...

The Pilot Program for Climate Resilience is a global initiative in nine countries and two regional programs in several countries—including Tajikistan—that face exceptional risks to climate change. The program helps put countries on a climate-resilient development path consistent with their...

In this paper, the coupled WRF/SSiB model, accompanied by a Karst Rocky Desertification (KRD) map of the Guizhou Karst Plateau (GKP) of China, was applied to detect how the changed vegetation and soil characteristics over the GKP modify the energy balance at the land surface. The results...
