Understanding Urban Heat Islands And Impacts, Darbi Berry, Nicole Fassina, A-Bel Gong Jan 2023

Understanding Urban Heat Islands And Impacts, Darbi Berry, Nicole Fassina, A-Bel Gong

San Diego Regional Climate Collaborative

Urban heat islands play a large role in aggravating climate impacts on water, electricity, and air pollutants, and affect vulnerable communities disproportionately. This blog calls onto historical redlining and disinvestment and urban development as direct contributors of socioeconomic disparities and includes a case study of one of our region’s most vulnerable communities.

Aggies In The Arctic: Usu Environmental Engineers Decode Icy Watersheds | College Of Engineering, Usu College Of Engineering

College of Engineering News

Published in Creating Tomorrow – Oct. 15, 2016 – When it comes right down to it, scientists and environmental engineers will tell you that nearly every ecosystem on Earth is driven by one simple thing: temperature.

Oceans, rivers, forests and deserts are a product of the chemical and biological processes that depend on a predictable mix of hot and cold. Even in the Arctic, where shallow soils are frozen most of the year, tiny variations in temperature can impact entire regions.

Effect Of Ground Temperature And Nest Differences On Productivity And Worker Size In Atta Cephalotes (Hymenoptera Formicidae), May 2010, Hannah Fried-Petersen May 2010

Effect Of Ground Temperature And Nest Differences On Productivity And Worker Size In Atta Cephalotes (Hymenoptera Formicidae), May 2010, Hannah Fried-Petersen

Tropical Ecology and Conservation [Monteverde Institute]

Atta cephalotes is one of the few species that does better in grassy pastures and secondary growth and their abundance, persistent foraging, and that they collect from a lot of different tree species has earned them the reputation of huge agricultural pests. A. cephalotes are poikilotherms meaning their internal body temperature fluctuates greatly with temperature. For this reason, it has been purported that these leaf-cutter ants will only collect leaf fragments at certain temperatures and that different sized workers have different temperature tolerances. The objective of this study was to look for relationships between temperature, productivity, and worker size in …
