Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

24.2K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

18.3K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Design Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment

40
Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...

Levels of Use of a GIS01:29

Levels of Use of a GIS

41
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) operate across three levels of application, each representing an increasing degree of complexity: data management, analysis, and prediction. These levels reflect the expanding functionality and versatility of GIS technology in handling spatial data for diverse purposes.Data ManagementAt its foundational level, GIS serves as a tool for data management, enabling the input, storage, retrieval, and organization of spatial data. This level is often employed in...

Influence of Earth's Curvature and Atmospheric Refraction on Leveling01:26

Influence of Earth's Curvature and Atmospheric Refraction on Leveling

54
During leveling, the Earth's curvature and atmospheric refraction introduce deviations in the line of sight from a true horizontal reference. When the line of sight is leveled, it remains perpendicular to the plumb line only at a single point. Beyond this, it deviates due to the Earth’s curvature, represented by the correction C. For a sight distance D, the deviation can be derived using the relationship:This relationship shows that the deviation increases quadratically with distance.

Precipitation Processes01:12

Precipitation Processes

418
The experimental conditions in a gravimetric analysis should be optimized to maximize the particle size and purity of the obtained precipitate. Ideally, the concentration of the precipitating reagent should be low with effective stirring to maintain low relative supersaturation for the growth of large crystals. In homogeneous precipitation, the precipitant is slowly generated by a chemical reaction in the solution to avoid local reagent excesses. For example, urea decomposes gradually to...

Area of Science:

  • Urban Planning and Design
  • Environmental Science
  • Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation

Background:

  • Cities globally are developing climate-neutral and resilient strategies.
  • Climate Change Action Plans often lack integrated mitigation and adaptation approaches.
  • Urban regeneration and building projects are key areas for implementing climate strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the integration of climate change adaptation and mitigation in urban planning.
  • To evaluate urban regeneration and building projects in sustainable cities.
  • To identify urban design solutions with climate co-benefits.

Main Methods:

  • A multilevel assessment framework was applied to ten leading sustainable cities.
  • Scoring methods evaluated Climate Change Action Plans, urban regeneration, and building projects.
  • The degree of adaptation and mitigation integration was determined.

Main Results:

  • Most Climate Change Action Plans exhibit moderate to early integration of adaptation and mitigation.
  • Stockholm's Royal Seaport and Hammarby Sjöstad show advanced integration.
  • North American building projects demonstrate high levels of adaptation and mitigation strategies.

Conclusions:

  • Climate Change Action Plans partially influence urban regeneration projects.
  • Urban design practices can integrate both climate change mitigation and adaptation benefits.
  • Further research is needed to enhance the integration of climate strategies in urban development.
