The fundamental theories of heat generation and transfer at the friction interface of a brake assume either matching or not matching surface temperatures by having a varying or uniform heat partition ratio respectively. In the research presented the behaviour of heat partition h…
Extreme heat is one of the most important pathways illustrating the connection between climate and human health, including in temperate areas such as the Pacific Northwest. Moreover, climate change is expected to exacerbate this important public health issue. This research has t…
Terrestrial vegetation plays a key role in land surface-atmosphere interactions as the primary link for moisture (evapotranspiration) and energy (latent) exchange. Consequently, the regional to global effects of historical and expected land use/cover changes (LUCCs) due to both …
Wheel tread damage leading to high magnitudes of vertical wheel–rail contact forces is a major cause of train delays in the Swedish railway network, in particular during the coldest months of the year. According to regulations, vehicles generating contact forces exceeding the li…
Throwing Shade introduces a series of public cooling landscapes designed to offer relief both daily and in emergencies. Through considering networks of infrastructure and public acupuncture, the design proposes heat escapes situated within, and with the capacity to be leveraged …
