But in late July, the United Nations’ Secretary General put the spotlight squarely back on what he called a “climate emergency” and warned “half of humanity is in the danger zone, from floods, droughts, extreme storms and wildfires.” ...
The USGS haspublished costal climate change predictions before, but in a change from previous iterations, the agency also included data about the physical makeup of the coast, like whether the surface was sandy, rocky, or anchored with foliage. These characteristics, along with the climate, help...
Climate impact Weather events such as floods, storms, hurricanes as well as drought and forest fires (“Physical Climate Risk”) can grab the media’s attention. However, there is another kind of Climate Risk which is much less discussed and not as widely covered in the mainstream media, des...

what the North Carolina State University Geospatial Analytics Researchers have been working on for the past couple of years. Using smart data and artificial intelligence, NCSU researchers preemptively identify agricultural areas and crops that will be affected by climate change, such as floods or ...
The remaining two-thirds could be allocated to four topics connected to communication about climate-related heat or heat waves. Two of these were on the impacts of heat and heat waves (health impacts 20%; social impacts 16%), one was on extreme weather and climate change attribution (17%)...

Optical remote sensing often fails to map floods as they are happening, as the Earth’s surface is usually obscured by clouds during flooding events10. Microwave remote sensing is generally accepted as the best way to map surface water, as it can penetrate clouds and, to some extent, ...
These datasets, created within the IEA EBC Annex 80 “Resilient Cooling for Buildings”, are ready to be used for different types of building adaptation and resilience studies to climate change and heatwaves.Similar content being viewed by others Climate data for building simulations with urban ...
The development of smart cities leveraging geospatial data is expected to be strongly promoted in the following years, mainly driven by the increasing concern about climate change and its impact on urban areas. As cities need to become more sustainable and resilient, governments should support researc...
