Urban Overheating - Progress on Mitigation Science and Engineering Applications
The combination of global warming and urban sprawl is the origin of the most hazardous climate change effect detected at urban level: Urban Heat Island, representing the urban overheating respect to the countryside surrounding the city. This book includes 18 papers representing the state of the art of detection, assessment mitigation and adaption to urban overheating. Advanced methods, strategies and technologies are here analyzed including relevant issues as: the role of urban materials and fabrics on urban climate and their potential mitigation, the impact of greenery and vegetation to reduce urban temperatures and improve the thermal comfort, the role the urban geometry in the air temperature rise, the use of satellite and ground data to assess and quantify the urban overheating and develop mitigation solutions, calculation methods and application to predict and assess mitigation scenarios. The outcomes of the book are thus relevant for a wide multidisciplinary audience, including: environmental scientists and engineers, architect and urban planners, policy makers and students.
Ground Truths
A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. This is the first book devoted entirely to summarizing the body of community-engaged research on environmental justice, how we can conduct more of it, and how we can do it better. It shows how community-engaged research makes unique contributions to environmental justice for Black, Indigenous, people of color, and low-income communities by centering local knowledge, building truth from the ground up, producing actionable data that can influence decisions, and transforming researchers’ relationships to communities for equi...
Web and Wireless Geographical Information Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st International Symposium on Web and Wireless Geographical Information Systems, W2GIS 2024, held in Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland, during June 18–19, 2024. The 8 full papers and 7 short papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 20 submissions. The book also contains one invited talk.

Les géographies de l'eau
La problématique de l'eau a envahi les sphères médiatiques et sociologiques, qu'il s'agisse du manque d'eau, des différentes formes de vulnérabilité liées aux inondations, à l'épuisement ou à l'altération qualitative de la ressource en eau, ou encore de la protection et de la mise en valeur des hydrosystèmes. Cet ouvrage invite le lecteur à parcourir les lieux qui unissent la société à l'eau et à découvrir les géographies de l'eau à travers les avancées les plus récentes.
Le Musée de Bretagne
L'ouvrage retrace l'histoire de ce musée ethnographique exemplaire. Fondé par Georges Henri Rivière en 1946, c'est le musée de référence de la culture bretonne. Genèse et création du musée, politique constante d'adaptation, doutes et interrogations, fonctions de gardien et de passeur d'une mémoire collective, lieu d'interprétation d'un patrimoine vivant orienté vers des perspectives nouvelles.
Bocages et sociétés
Le bocage, passage emblématique de l'Ouest de la France, après des décennies de stabilité, a connu récemment un recul important et rapide, au point que l'on s'interroge actuellement sur sa pérennité. Mais dans le même temps, il est devenu un objet historique et un enjeu patrimonial. Jamais clans son histoire, il n'a été le centre de tant d'attentions émanant d'une grande variété de spécialistes. Ceci tient au fait qu'il est un objet emblématique des relations entre Nature et Société. Le présent ouvrage. résolument pluridisciplinaire, a été conçu pour faire le point, au début du XXIe siècle, sur les recherches relatives au bocage. Il rassemble des travaux d'archéologi...
