In this review, I show that urban climate modeling did not arise as a simple scaling extension of urban meteorological modeling or an add-on to regional climate modeling, but instead emerged through the sel… Environmental Research Letters (IOP) · 21 Jul 2026 Research & science GEDI observations of foliar height diversity track regrowth trends in the humid tropical forests of the Democratic Republic of Congo The humid tropical forests of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) cover 1.15 million km2 and are highly biodiverse but under threat.

Although likely important, the influence of primary production on methanogenic pathways remains understudied. We labelled intact seagrass-sediment cores and in situ seagrass beds with 13C-dissolved inorganic carbon (13C-DIC) to trace the transfer to 13C-CH4 over a short (<24 h) and long (35 d… Environmental Research Letters (IOP) · 21 Jul 2026 Research & science Senior Academic, Research and Teaching Promotions 2025–26 - UCL | University College London UCL News · 21 Jul 2026 Research & science How ultra-processed food firms are using the courts to obstruct health rules - UCL | University College London UCL News · 21 Jul 2026 Research & science The AI influencers promising to make middle-aged women young again - UCL | University College London UCL News · 21 Jul 2026 Policy & government June 2026-Michigan College Credit for Apprenticeships Resolution (1) - State of Michigan (.gov) Michigan EGLE · 21 Jul 2026 Council news Caerphilly - Caerphilly County Borough Council Caerphilly Council · 21 Jul 2026
