The destructive impacts of wildfires on people, property and the environment have dramatically increased, especially in the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) in California. In these areas structures are threatened by both approaching flames and lofted e...
Land use regression (LUR) models assess air pollution exposure but often struggle with transferability (predicting concentrations in areas without measurements) and generalizability (capturing spatial patterns across neighborhoods). This study evalua...
Innovation is the core driving force behind the ability to cope with risks and enhance urban competitiveness. Against the backdrop of frequent global crises and intensified competition, improving urban innovation performance is important. This study ...
With the rapid economic development in China, air quality issues have emerged as major challenges to the country's sustainable development. This study utilizes ground monitoring data from 1248 monitoring Stations across China, constructs a kilometer ...
