Using narrative tools: How to explore young people’s vision of transformative learning places for climate change education (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Abstract:

Drawing from the experiences of the CCC-CATAPULT project (www.ccc-catapult.org), the proposed session shares a tool to support youth visioning of transformative learning places for Climate Change Education (CCE). The CCC-CATAPULT project... Read More about Using narrative tools: How to explore young people’s vision of transformative learning places for climate change education.

Assessing the spatiotemporal impact of users’ exposure and vulnerability to flood risk in urban built environments (2023)
Journal Article

Flood risk in an urban built environment depends on the combination of the hazard, the vulnerability of the built environment itself and its infrastructure (referred to as physical vulnerability), and the exposure and vulnerability...

Advancing South American water and climate science through multi-decadal convection-permitting modeling (2023)
Journal Article

The South America Affinity Group (SAAG) was established in early 2019 by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Water Systems Program as a community effort focused on improving hydroclimate science over South America. SAAG supports large... Read More about Advancing South American water and climate science through multi-decadal convection-permitting modeling.

A simplified approach to estimate seismic vulnerability and damage scenarios including site effects. Application to the historical centre of Horta, Azores, Portugal (2023)
Journal Article

The research attempts to provide a method for evaluating the susceptibility of heritage buildings and potential damage considering local site effects, using as a case study an urban sector situated in Horta, Faial, Azores, Portugal. The physical vuln... Read More about A simplified approach to estimate seismic vulnerability and damage scenarios including site effects. Application to the historical centre of Horta, Azores, Portugal.

Co-developing participatory dramabased methods to gather diverse community voices on water relationships in the riverside town of Tewkesbury, UK (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Flood-prone places and people often face conflicting interests that hinder their ability to cope with, and adapt to, wider water security issues. To enhance capacities of these places and people, interdisciplinary researchers (UWE, Bristol) and Acta...

Hourly temperature and precipitation time series characteristics in São Paulo with urban land use type of convection-permitting model (CPM) outputs (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The influences of regional atmospheric drivers on the joint distribution of temperature and precipitation from a Convection-Permitting Model (CPM) over São Paulo are explored. Time series of temperature and precipitation are extracted from urban land... Read More about Hourly temperature and precipitation time series characteristics in São Paulo with urban land use type of convection-permitting model (CPM) outputs.

The future of volunteering in extreme weather events: Critical reflections on key challenges and opportunities for climate resilience (2023)
Journal Article

Volunteers are playing a significant role in interacting with ongoing societal shocks and stresses, such as mobilizing resources and supporting responses to extreme weather events. Their actions contribute to the pursuit of local climate resilience b...

Identifying the impacts of land-use spatial patterns on street-network accessibility using geospatial methods (2023)
Journal Article

While the land use-street network nexus is well acknowledged, evidence for the one-way impacts of land-use patterns on street accessibility is still inadequate. The measurements of land-use patterns and street accessibility lack systematic knowledge.... Read More about Identifying the impacts of land-use spatial patterns on street-network accessibility using geospatial methods.

Building rehabilitation, sustainable development, and rural settlements: A contribution to the state of the art (2023)
Journal Article

The quality of life in rural housing settlements is at the heart of territorial cohesion concerns across Europe and the United Nations’ sustainable development goals. However, the gap between urban and rural developments remains substantial, stressin...

Multi-vulnerability analysis for seismic risk management in historic city centres: an application to the historic city centre of La Serena, Chile (2023)
Journal Article

A comprehensive understanding of the elements at risk, through the identification of the main hazards, level of exposure and different dimensions of the vulnerability of the communities, is an essential step toward the definition and adoption of more...

The merit of the North Sea-Caspian pattern in explaining climate variability in the Euro-Mediterranean region (2023)
Journal Article

Teleconnection patterns are one of the key features to understanding high-frequency natural climate variability. The North Sea-Caspian Pattern (NCP) was identified as a middle tropospheric dipole and its hydroclimatological implications have been sub...

Influence of hillslope aspect on a cinder cone evolution: The Sandal Divlit example, Kula, Turkey (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Microclimatic variations in semi-arid ecosystems can cause topographic asymmetry over geologic time scales due to uneven distribution of incoming solar radiation as a function of slope aspect. This phenomenon has long been recognized in geomorphology... Read More about Influence of hillslope aspect on a cinder cone evolution: The Sandal Divlit example, Kula, Turkey.

Investigating links among heatwaves, precipitation, and land use types using the convection-permitting model in the Southwest UK for the 2022 boreal summer (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

To improve sub-seasonal forecasts, different global initiatives generate continental convection-permitting simulations for resolution less than 10 kilometres for multiple decades. These simulations, however, are based on land use maps with only singl...

Parametric and machine learning-based analysis of the seismic vulnerability of adobe historical buildings damaged after the September 2017 Mexico earthquakes (2023)
Journal Article

In September 2017, two strong earthquakes hit the central region of Mexico, producing substantial damage to the historical buildings. A retroactive analysis for assessing the pre-event seismic vulnerability of these constructions allowed for testing...
