The Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East (EMME) region is a climate change hotspot experiencing increasing heat extremes. Understanding outdoor thermal discomfort in this region is critical for climate‐resilient urban planning and public health. This study examines the spatial and temporal patterns of thermal discomfort across the EMME over the 1980–2023 period, using ERA5 reanalysis data for dry‐bulb temperature, relative hu...

Physically based computational modeling is an effective tool for estimating and predicting the spatial distribution of pollutant concentrations in complex environments. A detailed and up-to-date emission inventory is one of the most important components of atmospheric modeling and a prerequisite for achieving high model performance. Lebanon lacks an accurate inventory of anthropogenic emission fluxes. In the absence of a clear...
