Arizona State University memperkenalkan perangkat Cool Routes untuk pejalan kaki yang mencari keteduhan

Arizona State University telah mengembangkan perangkat daring sumber terbuka bernama Cool Routes untuk membantu pejalan kaki menemukan rute paling sejuk dan teduh di area perkotaan. Platform ini saat ini mencakup kampus Tempe dan bertujuan untuk mengatasi efek pulau panas perkotaan yang membuat kegiatan berjalan kaki menjadi berbahaya di kota-kota yang panas.

Perangkat ini menghitung suhu radiasi rata-rata dengan menganalisis keteduhan dari bangunan dan pepohonan menggunakan data beresolusi tinggi dari United States Geological Survey. Perangkat ini juga menggabungkan prakiraan cuaca dan waktu untuk menyimulasikan kondisi termal dari enam arah. Isaac Buo, seorang ilmuwan informatika perkotaan di ASU yang memimpin proyek ini, menjelaskan pendekatannya. "Jika Anda bersedia menempuh jalan memutar selama, katakanlah, dua menit lebih lama, kami dapat mencarikan rute yang jauh lebih teduh," ujarnya. Para peneliti menguji perhitungan tersebut dengan alat bernama MaRTy pada hari-hari musim panas yang terik. Platform ini dijadikan sumber terbuka agar kota-kota lain dapat mengadaptasinya untuk perencanaan penanaman pohon atau penempatan halte bus yang teduh.

A study in PLOS Climate reports that U.S. warming trends vary sharply by state and by whether researchers look at temperature averages or extremes. Using data from 1950 to 2021 for the 48 contiguous states, the authors found that 27 states showed statistically significant increases in average temperature, while 41 showed warming in at least one part of their temperature range—such as hotter highs in parts of the West and warmer cold-season lows in parts of the North.

Researchers led by UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography have developed GOFLOW, a deep learning technique that converts thermal images from geostationary weather satellites into high-resolution maps of ocean surface currents. It reveals fast-changing, sub-10-kilometer features vital for climate, heat/carbon uptake, and marine ecosystems, with results published in Nature Geoscience (DOI: 10.1038/s41561-026-01943-0).
