Knowledge co-production in understanding, measuring functionality and performance of urban resilience
There has been a rapid increase in literature on resilience of social systems, which encampuses interventions to shocks and disasters of multiple dimensions of such systems. This follows the inclusion of resilience building in policy frameworks at global, regional to local levels. Cities across the…

Comparative life cycle assessment for two structural framing plan alternatives in a composite hybrid steel—cross laminated timber (CLT) building
The construction industry is increasingly focused on reducing embodied carbon emissions to address climate change. Steel—cross laminated timber (CLT) composite hybrid structures, where CLT floors and steel framings work in composite action to resist gravity forces, offers benefits such as carbon…

A road toward nature neutrality? Incorporating biodiversity restoration into life cycle assessment of road construction
Road construction irreversibly alters landscapes, fragments ecosystems, and reduces local biodiversity. The sector increasingly intends to mitigate these impacts, aiming for nature neutrality, i.e. full compensation for both the area and quality of ecosystems lost through restoration. Local soils…

Expedited desalination permitting enables adaptive planning and water system cost reduction
Seawater desalination is a drought-proof water supply for coastal cities, but widespread development of desalination plants in the U.S. has been limited by both cost and the complexity of permitting processes designed to minimize environmental impact. This work estimates the value of accelerating…

E-retrofitting can accelerate Europe’s bus fleet electrification by 15 years
Minimizing climate risks will require accelerating the energy transition on all levels and in all sectors. Replacing 1.4 billion fossil with electric road vehicles will, however, be a process spanning multiple decades. Expanding electric bus transit has the potential to reduce the demand for…

Second lives for landfills: a perspective on parks, brightfields, and drone hubs
Landfills are often seen as endpoints in the waste management cycle, but they represent significant opportunities for reuse. In this Perspective, I explore three innovative post-closure applications for municipal solid waste landfills: recreational parks, renewable energy developments…

Architecting the hub-and-spoke model in rural Alaska: hierarchical topography and infrastructure interdependencies
Rural Alaskan communities rely on critical infrastructure systems (CIS) (e.g. water systems, transportation) for health, safety, and economic opportunity. These critical services are often distributed in a ‘hub-and-spoke’ model, meaning that urban centers provide resources to surrounding hub towns…

Effects of hydrogen blending on methane emissions in natural gas distribution and end-use piping
Hydrogen is seen as a promising energy carrier, as society seeks to achieve net-zero emissions. One approach to integrating hydrogen into energy systems is to blend it with natural gas, which could decrease the quantity of methane, the primary component of natural gas and a potent greenhouse gas…

Empirical estimates of installed capacity density for solar photovoltaic and onshore and offshore wind power plants
Large-scale deployment of wind and solar power is essential for climate change mitigation but requires substantial land and offshore area due to their relatively low installed capacity densities. However, wide variation in installed capacity density estimates creates major uncertainty in projecting…

A multi-hazard climate adaptation framework for sustainable bridge infrastructure: integrating fuzzy AHP hazard weighting with spatial exposure assessment for network-scale resilience planning
Municipal bridge networks face accelerating climate-driven deterioration risks that existing condition-based asset management systems are ill-equipped to address. Current frameworks rely on historical climate assumptions and observed structural conditions, leaving agencies without a mechanism to…

Prioritizing irrigation and transportation investments for resilient food systems: an integrated spatial decision-support framework
Infrastructure investments are fundamental to strengthening food-system resilience, yet decisions regarding where and how to invest are often made without integrating biophysical suitability, agricultural production risks, and future food-system performance. We develop an integrated spatial…

Policy, trade, and opinion dynamics in the transition to electric vehicles in Canada
Road transportation accounts for ${\approx}12.7$ % GHG emissions and ${\approx}85$ % of transportation-related GHG in Canada, making passenger vehicle electrification central to decarbonization. In February 2026, the federal government revised its zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate from 100% by…

Regional retrofit, net-zero aspirations, and their whole-life carbon burden
Global surface temperatures have already exceeded the 1.5 °C target above pre-industrial levels. With net-zero decarbonisation efforts stalling, examination and revision of 1.5 °C – 2 °C compatible 2050 carbon budgets are crucial in prioritising actions across different sectors. In addition, many…

Influence of additives and fabrication route on the thermal and fireproofing of mycelium-based insulation composites
The construction sector’s high carbon footprint has intensified interest in bio-based materials with integrated energy efficiency and carbon storage potential. Insulation materials are one interesting sub-field, where conventional materials are typically either energy-intensive or made of…

Toward more equitable, impactful, and robust siting of electric vehicle charging infrastructure—analysis of site suitability modeling
As electric vehicle (EV) adoption continues to increase, the strategic siting of EV charging infrastructure (EVCI) is critical to ensuring equitable access to clean transportation. Existing EVCI installations are often concentrated in affluent areas, with substantial disparities in public charging…

Urban green space metric choice and weighting matter for assessing cooling benefits for human health
Extreme heat is a growing source of health-related risk in cities, and urban greening is widely promoted as a strategy to reduce its adverse consequences. However, urban green space can be measured in very different ways, and it remains unclear whether commonly used metrics are interchangeable when…

Geospatial life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of coal electricity in the United States
Coal-fired electricity generates significant direct combustion emissions, but the full life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are less understood in the United States under current conditions. This analysis presents an updated benchmark to the life cycle GHG emissions of coal-fired electricity…
