🌍 How can #nature help us cool our cities? New study by @alba__marquez (@CTforestal) @kumarsudeshna (ARIES @BC3Research) & @celiaznarez (@AarhusUni) reveals how green & blue infrastructures can reduce urban heat 👇 shorturl.at/06qX2 #resiliencities #VegetationHealth

3/ Study highlights: * 🌲 Dense, green vegetation = cooler temperatures * 🌊 Parks near water bodies boost cooling * 🏞️ Park size matters: bigger parks are most effective * 🏢 Tall buildings (up to 20m) can raise temperatures nearby but level off after.

1/ 🏙️🌡️ How can cities fight rising temperatures? Our recent study reveals the cooling effects of urban green & blue infrastructure (UGBI) across 12 U.S. cities with diverse climates. Here's what we learned. 🧵 🔗doi.org/10.1016/j.ufug…

7/ 🚀 Actionable insights for urban planners: * Prioritize parks near water bodies. * Focus on canopy density and drought-resistant plants. * Balance large parks with smaller, well-distributed UGBI for broader coverage. #UrbanSustainability

💡This research was made possible through the collaboration of @KumarSudeshna , @celiaznarez , and Darrel Jenerette as part of the SHERPA MESUH project, with invaluable support from @BC3Research , @ETSEAFIV_UdL, @ctforestal, @AarhusUni and @UCRiverside.

🙌As part of the UN Global Platform since 2022, we're excited to showcase our role as a knowledge integration hub at #UNBigData2024! 🔜The conference will drive collaboration & produce integrated scientific, statistical & geospatial data for better decision-making. Learn more👇

🌍🔬 Reflecting on an exceptional #EGU24 where BC3 showcased groundbreaking research and our team's diverse expertise! Here's a glimpse into our standout contributions 🧵 @EuroGeosciences

🌟From @aries_project: - @alba__marquez showcased showcased #AI-driven wildfire risk mapping. - @KumarSudeshna delved into the role of vegetation in mitigating #urban heat risks. - @sperotto_anna untangled the water quality dimension within the WEF nexus in Italy.

Curious about urban green infrastructure's role in tackling urban heat islands and promoting equity? Join us tomorrow at #EGU2024 Session HS5.3.4, Room 2.15 to explore how socio-spatial disparities affect access to vital ecosystem services for heat mitigation!🌳🏙️🌡️

🌿 Join us tomorrow at #EGU24 for a deep dive into the role of vegetation in mitigating urban heat risk in Twelve American Cities, Room 2.15, Wednesday, 17 April 2024, 17:30. See you there! #sustainability #climatechange #urbanrisk #extremeheat
