Journal ArticleDOI
Urban adaptation can roll back warming of emerging megapolitan regions
TL;DR: It is shown that, in the absence of any adaptive urban design, urban expansion across the United States imparts warming over large regional swaths of the country that is a significant fraction of anticipated temperature increases resulting from greenhouse gas-induced warming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anthropogenic heating of the urban environment due to air conditioning
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of air conditioning (AC) systems on air temperature and examined their electricity consumption for a semi-arid urban environment and showed that releasing waste heat into the ambient environment exacerbates the nocturnal urban heat island and increases cooling demands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct climate effects of perennial bioenergy crops in the United States
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that a thorough evaluation of costs and benefits of bioenergy-related land-use change must include potential impacts on the surface energy and water balance to comprehensively address important concerns for local, regional, and global climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diurnal interaction between urban expansion, climate change and adaptation in US cities

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that business-as-usual GHG-induced warming and corresponding urban expansion would interact nonlinearly, reducing summer night-time warming by 0.5
Journal ArticleDOI
Summer-time climate impacts of projected megapolitan expansion in Arizona
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors look at the expanding megapolitan area in the Sun Corridor, Arizona, USA, and model local climate change in line with urban development, showing that local climate can be modified by urban development affecting the radiation and hydrological balances.
