A comprehensive review of energy use, climate, and sociocultural influences on residential building practices in Alaska
Residential housing in Alaska faces unique challenges driven by extreme climatic conditions, geographic isolation, and socio-cultural priorities. Prolonged winters, permafrost thaw, and increasing climate variability amplify energy demands and structural risks, while Indigenous communities emphasize cultural values and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) in housing design. This review applie…

U.S. winter atmospheric rivers and precipitation associated with the north pacific oscillation
Winter precipitation plays a critical role in shaping the hydroclimate variability over the United States, directly affecting water resources and water-related hazards. However, the drivers of spatial and temporal variability of winter precipitation in the United States remain elusive. Here we investigate the influence of the North Pacific Oscillation (NPO) on the spatial patterns of winter pre…

Century-scale attribution of winter extreme cold events in the East Asian monsoon region
Previous attribution studies have investigated the anthropogenic influence on recent individual extreme cold events. Yet, a century‐scale comparison of anthropogenic influences on the probability of high‐impact extreme cold events across different historical periods remains lacking, as does an assessment of the circulation‐mediated effect via the Siberian High (SH). Here we provide a century‐sc…

Transforming vibrations into clean fuels and chemicals through piezosynthesis
From ocean waves and flowing rivers to the systems used to transport and treat water, vibrations are everywhere. But can vibrations do more than just shake water? Can they split water or drive the production of useful chemicals from water? A research team led by Professor Sai Kishore Ravi from the School of Energy and Environment (SEE) at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) has successfully …

Sludge evaporation is better when reciprocated
Scraped surface heat exchangers (SSHEs) are widely used for difficult heat transfer applications such as the evaporation of sludges and digestate where fouling is an issue. The HRS Unicus Series is specifically designed to provide the improved heat transfer of a traditional SSHE, but with designs that are suitable for a range of waste and sludge applications.
