Rising temperatures and increasing humidity are surpassing human tolerance limits in some regions, creating serious risks to public health. A study in the scientific journal Nature Portfolio co-authored by members of the Lethal Humidity Global Council confirms that extreme humid heat events are already occurring. The study emphasises the importance of reducing emissions, adopting Real Zero targets and implementing practical measures like early warning systems to protect vulnerable communities. The science is clear: action is needed now to safeguard lives and livelihoods. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gBEr5gey

Effective performance appraisal systems and forecasting of fluctuations in air quality are beneficial in the prevention and control of air pollution, which in turn enable the public’s health and the environment to be kept safe. Glad to publish a paper titled "Implementing heuristic-based multiscale depth-wise separable adaptive temporal convolutional network for ambient air quality prediction using real time data" in Nature Scientific reports Q1 3.8 Impact factor. SDG target 3.9. 1 , which calls for a substantial reduction in deaths and illnesses from air pollution acheived . The paper is an outcome of collaboration between Shiv Nadar University and Leeds Beckett University Dr.Balamurugan Balusamy Dr Shitharth S Dr Koteeswaran Seerangan https://lnkd.in/gKaFyY8i

Dear Colleagues, A recent publication in Medical Science Monitor underscores the pressing need for accelerated global action against climate change, identified by the WHO as the greatest threat to human health. Despite 2022 witnessing the highest temperatures in over 100,000 years, investment in fossil fuels rose by 10%, surpassing USD 1 trillion. The paper reviews the health impacts of climate change at individual and population levels and explores current initiatives and medical strategies to address this growing challenge. The complete report is now available on the Medical Science Monitor webpage. | https://lnkd.in/dr7Gcnik

A new open-access paper (https://lnkd.in/eaH3puqn) led by Gregory Bratman, Director of UW Nature and Health, describes how: Human beings are embedded in complex, rich, and prolific olfactory environments—chemical contexts within which the natural world transmits information. Airborne chemicals from the natural environment affect human well-being through pathways specific to olfaction—initially perceived and later explicitly judged through both innate and acquired processes. Anthropogenic activity often negatively affects natural olfactory environments to the detriment of human well-being. A better understanding of the relationship of human beings with natural olfactory environments can promote appreciation and revitalization of the natural world—and can thereby contribute to human well-being. Co-authors include: Peter Kahn, UW Nature and Health Steering Committee member and researcher, and Hector A. Olvera Alvarez Ph.D., P.E., UW Nature and Health research partner.

This is an enlightening paper addressing the question of how our 'smellosphere' affects how emotional and physical wellbeing.

Great to see this paper by Toon Haer and me published just before the year’s end! In this study we provide a multi-hazard perspective on equitable adaptation across various hazard types and multi-hazard events. We identify challenges for hazards based on magnitude (intensive vs. extensive), onset (rapid vs. slow), and for compound and consecutive events. To support equitable, multi-risk adaptation decisions, methods must integratively capture the complexities of social and environmental systems, especially regarding consecutive and compounding events. https://lnkd.in/e2dxfj8Z

📢 The global #oceanacidification science community, led by the Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON), responded to the call of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and put forward a roadmap for the ocean acidification science and action we need for the ocean we want. 👉 The OARS White Papers set out the relevant outputs, activities, and enablers that will be required for these Outcomes to be achieved. 🌊 We need the whole ocean community, scientists, science communicators, policy makers and stakeholders to come together to achieve the Outcomes. If you are involved in work that contributes to one or more of the seven Outcomes, please let us know by registering a voluntary OARS Commitment! Read the White Papers here: https://buff.ly/4aDx9cN Register a Commitment: https://buff.ly/3RfkTqq

World Soil Day (5 Dec)!! Yesterday I enthusiastically presented some of our research about the linkages between Soil Security and One Health at the joint NZ Society of Soil Science and Soil Science Australia in Rotorua. In a nutshell: * Soil Security and Soil Health have been utterly neglected from One Health literature. * One Health needs to incorporate soil to truly encompass 'One Health'. * One Health needs measurable dimensions - we proffered some indicators for this. For those of you that are interested, my presentation is below to view: https://lnkd.in/eSTtzeFd And paper of the article: https://lnkd.in/eiYU-_9Y).

Check out this great story by Stephanie Maltarich and our new paper published in The Cryosphere!
A new CIRES and INSTAAR-led study found Greenland's "firn" - the spongy layer between ice and snow - is more sensitive to warming than cooling. The paper was led by CIRES and CU Boulder PhD graduate Megan Thompson-Munson and CIRES Fellow Jen Kay. Read the story: https://lnkd.in/dCrKTF9K
