Anticipating future socioeconomic conditions through scenarios supports effective land-use planning and management that safeguards biodiversity and ecosystem services (BES). This study introduces a novel participatory scenario development protocol to design consistent, nested regional scenarios tailored for BES assessments of agricultural land-use. The protocol is applied in four European case studies (subnational regions in A...

Heat is a global public health risk, even in temperate climates like Europe, which has experienced an increasing number of intense heatwaves over the past decade. This study uses a unique dataset of more than 57,000 X (formerly Twitter) conversations from users in Germany about heatwaves between 2013 and 2022. We showed that, as heatwaves in Germany have become more frequent and intense, social media activity on this topic has...

Purpose Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has gained increasing attention in the treatment of patients with acute and chronic cardiopulmonary and respiratory failure. However, clotting within the oxygenators or other components of the extracorporeal circuit remains a major complication that necessitates at least a device exchange and bears risks of adverse events for the patients. In order to better predict thrombus growth w...

Here we present the first multi-model ensemble of regional climate simulations at kilometer-scale horizontal grid spacing over a decade long period. A total of 23 simulations run with a horizontal grid spacing of $$\sim $$ ∼ 3 km, driven by ERA-Interim reanalysis, and performed by 22 European research groups are analysed. Six different regional climate models (RCMs) are represented in the ensemble. The simulations are compared...
