Abstract Cities are vulnerable to the compounding effects of both climate change and urbanization. Here we show that urbanization alone has led to an overall 60% enhancement in warming in Indian cities, with eastern Tier-II cities leading the way. Such a difference in the urban contribution to warming over cities across India calls for a differential approach to combat urban warming effectively.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a world-wide public health threat that is projected to lead to 10 million annual deaths globally by 2050. The AMR public health issue has led to the development of action plans to combat AMR, including improved antimicrobial stewardship, development of new antimicrobials, and advanced monitoring. The National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) led by the United States (U.S) Food and Drug Administration along with the U.S. Centers for Disease C…

Quantifying annual microplastic emissions of an urban catchment: Surface runoff vs wastewater sources.
Authors: S. Imbulana, Shuhei Tanaka, Ibukun Oluwoye
Journal: Journal of Environmental Management · DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.121123 · Citations: 39
Matched topics: runoff
Urban clusters are recognized as hotspots of microplastic pollution, and the associated urban rivers convey microplastics into the global oceans. Despite this knowledge, the relative contributions of various sources to the annual microplastic emissions from urban catchments remain scarcely quantified. Here, we quantified microplastic emissions from a riverine urban catchment in Japan. The total microplastics (size range: 10-5000 μm) released from the catchment amounted to 269.1 tons/annum, of…

Urban stormwater, increasingly seen as a potential water resource for cities and towns, contains various trace organic chemicals (TrOCs). This study, conducted through a comprehensive literature review of 116 publications, provides a detailed report on the occurrence, concentration distribution, health, and ecological risks of TrOCs, as well as the impact of land use and rainfall characteristics on their concentrations. The review uncovers a total of 629 TrOCs detected at least once in urban …
Estimation and validation of high-resolution evapotranspiration products for an arid river basin using multi-source remote sensing data
Authors: Jing Xiao, Fubao Sun, Tingting Wang, Hong Wang
Journal: Agricultural Water Management · DOI: 10.1016/j.agwat.2024.108864 · Citations: 23
Matched topics: river, land surface model, surface water
Accurate estimation of evapotranspiration (ET) at high spatial resolution is crucial for drought monitoring and water resources management, but currently available remote sensing ET products generally have coarse spatial resolution (≥1000 m). To estimate ET at a high spatial resolution, Landsat images, Global Land Surface Satellite (GLASS), Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), and meteorological forcing data were integrated, and the surface energy balance (SEBS) model was em…
