A study in Chicago revealed that underground infrastructure in American cities could be at risk due to temperature increases. Urban Infrastructures Are Causing Heat Islands Source:Bhargava Marripati/Pexels CNN reported that Chicago has subsurface heat islands caused by urban infrastructure such as public transit. When subject to these changes in temperature, materials like soil, rocks, and human-made construction materials can shift and crack. How Was The Study Done?

Source: KOUSTABH BISWAS/ Pexels Nature Geoscience published a study that explains the downward slope winds that are keeping the mountains cool. According to Nature.com, Katabatic Winds, “lower the elevation of wind convergence, thereby diminishing precipitation in glacial areas.” Further Studies Are Needed to Help Understand Glacial Shrinkage Source: Suket Dedhia/Pexels Although promising, there are still more studies needed on the glacier’s response to the Katabatic Winds.
