Albedo as a Competing Warming Effect of Urban Greening
JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH: ATMOSPHERES
18 december 2023
Hannah Schlaerth, Sam J. Silva, Yun Li, Dan Li
Urban greening is often proposed for urban heat island (UHI) mitigation because vegetation provides shade and increases evapotranspiration. However...
Understanding regional patterns of warming-induced changes in lake evaporation and volumes
LAKES AND INLAND WATER BODIES II POSTER
hydrology | 14 december 2023
WENYU ZHOU, Linying Wang, Dan Li, L. Ruby Leung
Lakes are critical natural resources. In a warmer climate, lake evaporation is projected to increase globally while water inflow into lakes may increa...

LAND USE AND LAND COVER CHANGE IN A CHANGING CLIMATE: UNDERSTANDING IMPACTS USING LONG-TERM EARTH SYSTEM RECORDS AND MODELS AND DEVELOPING APPROACHES FOR ADAPTATION II POSTER
global environmental change | 14 december 2023
Dan Li, Xu Zhang, Yuan Cai
Urbanization has profound effects on the local and regional climate, causing phenomena like urban heat islands (UHIs). In this research, we focus on u...

Analyzing and Interpreting Urban Heat Islands Response to Heat Waves in Diverse Climates over Contiguous United States
MULTISECTOR DYNAMICS: CONFLUENCE OF SOCIETAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE IN URBAN AREAS I ORAL
global environmental change | 12 december 2023
Linying Wang, Dan Li
Urban areas are uniquely vulnerable to heat waves (HWs), due to high human exposure and the exacerbating influence of urban heat islands (UHIs). Notab...
