Abstract Robotics and autonomous systems are reshaping the world, changing healthcare, food production biodiversity management. While they will play a fundamental role in delivering UN Sustainable Development Goals, associated opportunities threats yet to be considered systematically. We report on horizon scan evaluating robotics impact all involving 102 experts from around world. likely transform how Goals achieved, through replacing supporting human activities, fostering innovation,...
The Land Surface Temperature (LST) of a park is lower than the surrounding environment, and thus parkland forms Park Cool Island (PCI). However, more case studies are needed to reveal relationship between composition, vegetation characteristic PCI development. LST Use/Land Cover (LULC) 18 different sized parks in Changzhou, China were obtained from Landsat-8 Mapworld Changzhou data. Then, sample investigation method was used calculate characteristics these by an i-Tree Eco model. In order...
Green roofs can improve urban ecological conditions by mitigating the heat island effect and absorbing harmful gases. Soil additives roof soil properties promote stability of ecosystem. As additives, biochar sludge are widely used in ground, but their application on is still scarce. This study examined carbon storage potential green amended with biochar. The was composed varying proportions (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, v/v); Sedum lineare then planted. contents soils plants were measured for one...
With a rapid pace of urbanization, urban environment problems have affected large numbers people and aroused widespread concern. Landscape architecture design helps improve the welfare residents ecological function green spaces. Course-based influence college students majoring in landscape is an efficient way to prepare future architects with environmental awareness. This research applied project-based learning (PBL) zone proximal development (ZPD) course, developed...
As climate warms, the impact of existing urban heat islands on health residents in towns and cities will worsen. A reduction impervious may help to reduce temperatures, but relationship between tree canopy coverage land surface temperature (LST) is not well characterised. Here, we quantified summer LST temperate city Leeds, UK using Landsat 8 TIRS remote sensing image explored spatial relationships cover, greenspace coverage, type cover. We found a strong across built-up region Leeds use...
Saltwater intrusion is a common issue in the Yangtze River estuary (YRE), significantly affecting nearshore ecological environment and human activities. Using 20 years of runoff data, high-resolution Finite-Volume Coastal Ocean Model (FVCOM) constructed to simulate lower reaches River. This model employed analyze full-depth current salinity characteristics explore influence factors such as runoff, wind, tides, riverbank morphology on saltwater YRE. The model’s accuracy validated by comparing...
