(2022)Preserving cultural heritage sites has always faced many challenges in a rapidly growing and changing world, mainly in urban areas [Dastgerdi et al., 2019]. Overall, the urban environment faces imminent risks due to climate ... -
Assessment of intra-city urban heat island effect in relation to vulnerable stakeholders in Karachi, Pakistan via LCZ classification, Land Surface Temperature analysis and traverse surveys
(2020)Presently, the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon and its impacts are gaining momentum as a major research focus in South Asian urban climate literature. However, the case of Karachi, despite recurring heatwaves and ... -
Biomimicry approaches to mitigate the urban heat island
(2020)Mitigating Urban Heat Island Intensity (UHII) requires a comprehensive understanding of its relationship with global climate change, the underlying reasons, and adoption of all sorts of ideas from multidisciplinary fields. ... -
Education for youth climate action : co-creating design principles and learning goals of a climate change education program in Slovakia
(2021)The climate crisis is humanity’s greatest challenge so far, and resolving it requires nothing short of a wide-scale societal transformation. Education is considered a key enabler of this transition. Nevertheless, there is ... -
Evolution of economics
(2023)Climate change is a long term change in temperature and weather everywhere around the world. These changes can be natural, for example making variations in the solar cycle which is normal. But however, the biggest threat ... -
Exploring the triadic relation of urban form, wind, and air quality at street level : a case of City of London, UK
(2020)The triadic relation on urban form, air quality and the wind environment at street level in a dense setting of the City of London is investigated through detailed characterisation of the urban form, wind simulation and ... -
Finnish in the Bottle - Future Potential of Wine Tourism in Finland
(2021)Due to the climate changes happening around the world, it is highly possible that colder climate countries such as Finland will see a rise in popularity of opportunities that weren't present before. Wine produced by ... -
Green roof runoff modelling in Dublin for climate resilience : runoff reduction performance of a single green roof for stormwater management using hydrological modelling with climate change projections
(2021)This thesis aims to show the runoff reduction performance of green roofs based on climate change projection scenarios using hydrological simulation tools for mitigating and adapting to flooding events in a flood prone city, ... -
Impact of urban greening and verticalization on the outdoor thermal comfort : a case study of Thimphu city, Bhutan
(2023)Urban Heat Island (UHI) continues to the be the most explored and intensively studied in the field of urban climate. It is linked predominantly with the growing impacts of urbanisation and associated impervious surfaces. ... -
