In late March 2018, a large part of the Eastern Mediterranean experienced an extraordinary episode African dust, one most intense in recent years, here referred to as "Minoan Red" event. The mainly affected Greek island Crete, where highest aerosol concentrations over past 15 yeas were recorded, although impacts also felt well beyond this core area. Our study fills gap dust research by assessing multi-sectoral sand and storms their socioeconomic implications. Specifically, we provide impact...
As the importance of urban green spaces is increasingly recognised, so does need for their systematic placement in a broader array socioeconomic objectives. From an planning and economics perspective, this represents spatial task: if more land allocated to various types green, how do economic effects propagate throughout space? This paper focuses on marginal forests, parks, fields estimates hedonic models sample apartment transactions Helsinki, Finland. The results indicate that...
Urbanization and ongoing climate change increase the exposure of populations to heat stress, urban island (UHI) effect may magnify heat-related mortality, especially during heatwaves. We studied temperature-related mortality in city Helsinki—with suburban land uses—and surrounding Helsinki-Uusimaa hospital district (HUS-H, excluding Helsinki)—with more rural types uses—in southern Finland for two decades, 2000–2018. Dependence risk daily all-cause deaths (all-age 75+ years) on mean...
This article presents a green roof cost-benefit analysis (CBA). Green roofs are which partially or completely covered by vegetation. We discuss the benefits and costs of light self-sustaining vegetated roofs. The ecosystem services (ES) provided can be classified into private public benefits. apply selected valuation methods first in Helsinki, Finland subsequently explain how results transferred to other urban locations. Past research this study show that usually not high enough justify...

A cellular automaton model (SLEUTH-3r) is utilized to explore the impacts of coastal flood risk management strategies on urbanization parameters Helsinki's metropolitan area, at a 50-m spatial resolution by 2040. The current trend characterized consolidation existing built-up land and loss interspersed green spaces, whereas most intense growth forecast inside areas.

Abstract. One of the challenges in studying desert dust aerosol along with its numerous interactions and impacts is paucity direct situ measurements, particularly areas most affected by storms. Satellites typically provide column-integrated but observationally constrained continuous 3D fields are needed to assess variability, climate effects upon a variety socio-economic sectors. Here, we present high-resolution regional reanalysis data set aerosols that covers Northern Africa, Middle East...
The concept of urban DNA has been frequently utilized to describe how a set growth parameters may encode the manner in which cities evolve space and spatial forms they assume as do so. five coefficients SLEUTH (Slope, Land-use, Exclusion, Urban, Transport, Hillshade) cellular automaton model land use change are often seen an operationalization DNA. For both theoretical studies applied modelling, it is important further develop this by understanding whether main classes relate distinct...
Abstract This paper approaches the interaction of a health professional with an AI system for diagnostic purposes as hybrid decision making process and conceptualizes epistemo-ethical constraints on this process. We argue importance understanding underlying machine epistemology in order to raise awareness facilitate realistic expectations from support system, both among healthcare professionals potential benefiters (patients). Understanding epistemic abilities limitations such systems is...
Abstract. One of the challenges in studying desert dust aerosol along with its numerous interactions and impacts is paucity direct in-situ measurements, particularly areas most affected by storms. Satellites typically provide columnintegrated but observationally-constrained continuous 3D fields are needed to assess variability, climate effects upon a variety socio-economic sectors. Here, we present high resolution regional reanalysis data set aerosols that covers Northern Africa, Middle East...
Abstract The current state of human–machine interaction has set forth a process hybridization human identity. Technology—and most notably AI—is used as an effective cognitive extender, which enables the extension personhood to include artificial elements, leading emergence Discussing—and accommodating—anthropomorphization in should no longer be primary focus. Rather, scope and quality frameworks identity occurs evolves significant ethical implications that pose very pragmatic challenges...
Differential SAR Interferometry (DInSAR) techniques can substantially contribute to overcoming the difficulties of detecting and diachronically monitoring active faults in urban environments. The correlation spatially distributed ground deformation, measured by DInSAR, with tectonics considerably assist assessing seismic hazard risk. Belonging a region highest seismicity North Greece several around its perimeter, city Thessaloniki provides an excellent case study. Using accumulated results...
Borrowing from insights produced in urban planning, media and governance studies thereby leveraging the Ostrom-nian ideas of institutions polycentricity, this paper examines how to govern commons smart city. It offers a reflection upon whether Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs) could be key notion for discourse which centers around stakeholders, self-organization, rights-based framework. By decentralizing ledgers enabling interoperability various interfaces, DLTs make records more...

Abstract Airborne mineral dust poses a safety challenge for aviation. Several fatal accidents have happened in dust-laden air due to reduced visibility, strong gusty winds, and wind shear. Dust-induced icing also contributed at least two accidents. Furthermore, atmospheric has long- short-term effects on aircraft operating condition corrosion abrasion the surfaces, molten ingress deterioration of engine hot section components. The combined impact can increase maintenance costs, overall cost...
