Understanding the mortality effects of the most extreme heat events is central to climate change risk analysis and adaptation decision-making. Accurate representation of these impacts requires accounting for the effects of prolonged sequences of hot ...
Heatwaves, are identified as prolonged durations of unusually high temperatures, which pose significant threats to human health, animal health and agriculture. With the increasing frequency and intensity of heatwaves driven by climate change, accurat...
This study investigates temperature impacts on preterm birth (PTB) using residential address GPS coordinates for 311,972 pregnant women in Wuhan, China, coupled with daily environmental data. We developed a machine learning model to analyze the impac...
Extreme heat waves are causing widespread concern for comprehensive studies on their ecological and societal implications. With the ongoing rise in global temperatures, precise forecasting of heatwaves becomes increasingly crucial for proactive plann...
Heatwaves pose a significant threat to environmental sustainability and public health, particularly in vulnerable regions and rapidly growing cities. They cause water shortages, stress on plants, and an overall drying out of landscapes, reducing plan...
Establishing appropriate heatwave thresholds is important in reducing adverse human health consequences as it enables a more effective heatwave warning system and response plan. This paper defined such thresholds by focusing on the non-linear relatio...
Extreme heat events have recently become more frequent and represent an increasing risk of damage to public health. However, the existing prediction of heatwave related health effects has limited representativeness and verification. Our study address...
