TL;DR: In this article, the identification of synergies and trade-offs using official SDG indicator data for 227 countries was analyzed. And the most frequent SDG interactions were found to outweigh the negative ones in most countries.

TL;DR: The CCA is introduced, based on spatial distributions of the population at a fine geographic scale, defining a city beyond the scope of its administrative boundaries, and it is found that the mean growth rate of a cluster by utilizing the CCA exhibits deviations from Gibrat's law, and that the standard deviation decreases as a power law with respect to the city size.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the multifractal temporal scaling properties of precipitation and river discharge records on large timescales and find that daily runoffs are characterized by an asymptotic scaling exponent that indicates a slow power law decay of the runoff autocorrelation function and varies from river to river in a wide range.

TL;DR: The authors constructed cities from the bottom up by clustering populated areas obtained from high-resolution data and found that Zipf's law for population holds for cities as small as 5,000 inhabitants in Great Britain and 12, 000 inhabitants in the US.

TL;DR: The influence of city size and urban form on the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon in Europe is studied and a complex interplay between UHI intensity and city size, fractality, and anisometry is found.
