Climate change and urbanization are rapidly increasing human exposure to extreme ambient temperatures, yet few studies have examined temperature mortality in Latin America. We conducted a nonlinear, distributed-lag, longitudinal analysis of daily temperatures among 326 American cities between 2002 2015. observed 15,431,532 deaths ≈2.9 billion person-years risk. The excess death fraction total was 0.67% (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.58-0.74%) for heat-related 5.09% CI 4.64-5.47%)...
In the past decade, number of cars in China has significantly raised, but traffic jam spree problem brought great inconvenience to people’s travel. Accurate and efficient flow prediction, as core Intelligent Traffic System (ITS), can effectively solve problems travel management. The existing short-term prediction researches mainly use shallow model method, so they cannot fully reflect characteristics. Therefore, this paper proposed a method based on one-dimensional convolution neural network...
Mapping is fundamental to studies on urban green space (UGS). Despite a growing archive of land cover maps (where UGS included) at global and regional scales, mapping efforts dedicated are still limited. As often part the heterogenous landscape, low-resolution from remote sensing images tend confuse with other covers. Here we produced first 10 m resolution map for main clusters across 371 major Latin American cities as 2017. Our approach applied supervised classification Sentinel-2 satellite...
Recent studies highlight the equigenic potential of greenspaces by showing narrower socioeconomic health inequalities in greener areas. However, results to date have been inconsistent and derived from high-income countries. We examined whether urban greenness modifies associations between area-level education, as a proxy for status, life expectancy cause-specific mortality Latin American cities. included 28 large cities, >137 million inhabitants, nine countries, comprising 671 sub-city...
In Latin America, where climate change and rapid urbanization converge, non-optimal ambient temperatures contribute to excess mortality. However, little is known about area-level characteristics that confer vulnerability temperature-related Explore city-level socioeconomic demographic associated with mortality in American cities. The dependent variables quantify city-specific associations between temperature mortality: heat- cold-related death fractions (EDF, or percentages of total deaths...
Greenspace has been shown to be positively associated with mental wellbeing, but studies from the global South have scarce. We advance understanding of relationship between greenspace and depressive symptoms by using multiple clearly defined metrics describing neighborhood greenness urban parks in an understudied region rapid growth. linked individual-level health survey data for residents Mexico (n = 17,258 respondents 84 cities) measures such as satellite-derived normalized difference...
Abstract Individual tree structure mapping in cities is important for urban environmental studies. Despite products canopy cover and biomass are reported at multiple spatial scales using various approaches, spatially explicit of individual trees their three-dimensional sparse. Here we produced an dataset including locations, height, crown area, volume, over the entire New York City, USA 6,005,690 trees. were detected mapped from remotely sensed datasets along with height size information....
Sea level rise (SLR) and heavy precipitation events are increasing the frequency extent of coastal flooding, which can trigger releases toxic chemicals from hazardous sites, many in low-income communities color. We used regression models to estimate association between facility flood risk social vulnerability indicators low-lying block groups California. applied dasymetric mapping techniques refine boundaries population estimates probabilistic SLR projections facilities' future risk. that...
Green vegetation may protect against heat-related death by improving thermal comfort. Few studies have investigated associations of green with mortality in Latin America or whether are modified the spatial configuration vegetation. We used data from 323 American cities and meta-regression models to estimate between city-level greenness, quantified using population-weighted normalized difference index values modeled as three-level categorical terms, excess deaths heat (heat fractions [heat...
Understanding urbanization dynamics, or how intensity of changes over time, is an important basis for urban planning and management, which has been investigated using various data-driven approaches. Considering the advantages constraints different data sources, we use pixel-based, time-series night-time light (NTL) trajectories to characterize dynamics in mainland China where massive development occurring recent decades. After pre-processing data, extracted NTL each 1 km × pixel between 1992...
Abstract The characteristics of urban green space have context-dependent associations with socioeconomic status (SES). Latin American cities provide a unique but understudied context to assess the space-SES associations. We measured quantity and quality as greenness from satellite-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, we modeled relationship between SES in 371 major 2000 2015. found that was negatively associated average at city sub-city scales, which could be explained by...
Rising temperatures have profound impacts on the well-being of urban residents. However, factors explaining temporal variability thermal environment, or warming, remain insufficiently understood, especially in Global South. Addressing this gap, we studied relationship between city-level economic conditions and how green space mediated relationship, focusing 359 major Latin American cities 2001 2022. While effect sizes varied by temperature measures used, found that better were associated...
Being a Re-Emerging Infectious Disease, dengue causes 390 million cases globally and is prevalent in many urban areas South America. Understanding the fine-scale relationships between incidence environmental socioeconomic factors can guide improved disease prevention strategies. This ecological study examines association satellite-based vegetation greenness 3826 census tracts nested 474 neighborhoods Belo Horizonte, Brazil, during 2010 epidemic. To reduce potential bias estimated...
Heatwaves (HWs) pose a severe threat to human and ecological systems. Here we assess the projected changes in heatwaves over Latin America using bias corrected high-resolution regional climate simulations under two Representative Concentration Pathway scenarios (RCPs). are be more frequent, long-lasting, intense mid-century both RCP2.6 RCP8.5 scenarios, with increases scenario. Even low emissions scenario of RCP2.6, frequency doubles most region. A three- tenfold rise population exposure...
