Association of urban green and blue space with accelerated ageing: A cohort Study in the UK Biobank by YiNi Wang, XinYu Shi, Fei Yang, ShengYuan Wang, TianShu Han, Kun Ma

“…Results: After controlling for random effects and various types of covariates, we found that 1) populations with higher levels of UGBS exposure are associated with accelerated ageing and slowing down; 2) UGBS has the greatest impact on accelerated ageing within a 1000-m street network buffer distance; 3) Participants living in heavily polluted areas should pay more attention to UGBS; 4) Intermediary analysis found that UGBS mainly accelerates aging by reducing harm, rather than affecting the population's ability to recover and build. …”

An updated regional model skill assessment for seasonal and interannual variability of bottom temperature across the eastern Bering Sea shelf by Kelly A. Kearney, Phyllis J. Stabeno, Albert J. Hermann, Albert J. Hermann, Calvin W. Mordy, Calvin W. Mordy

“…We confirm that the model captures shelf-wide patterns in bottom temperature well, including mean patterns as well as both seasonal and interannual variability. However, a few areas of potential improvement were also identified: underestimated surface mixing in the model leads to delayed destratification across the middle and outer shelves, the position of the inner front may be offset slightly in the model, and bathymetric smoothing leads to poor representation near the shelf break and potentially underestimated flow onto the shelf through shelf break canyons. …”
