Safe Shelter: A Case for Prioritizing Housing Quality in Climate Adaptation Policy by Remotely Sensing Roof Tarps in the San Francisco Bay Area by Emma Velterop, Burak Uzkent, Jenny Suckale

“…One factor among many is housing quality because an intact house is a household's first line of defense against the wrath of nature. By taking the San Francisco Bay Area as a proof‐of‐concept, we develop a deep‐learning algorithm to show that blue roof tarps, used in the area as semipermanent fixtures to reduce roof leakage, can serve as a proxy for poor‐quality housing. …”

Pavement resurfacing and supply chains are significant contributors to PM2.5 exposure from road transportation: evidence from the San Francisco Bay Area by Fiona Greer, Ahmad Bin Thaneya, Joshua S Apte, Arpad Horvath

“…Under a scenario of annual road-resurfacing practices within the San Francisco Bay Area in California (population: 7.5 million), resurfacing activities, material production and delivery (i.e. cement, concrete, aggregate, asphalt, bitumen), and fuel (i.e. gasoline, diesel) supply chains contribute almost 65% to the annual PM _2.5 intake from all the sources included in the study domain (the remaining 35% being due to on-road tailpipe emissions). …”

Phytoplankton communities from San Francisco Bay Delta respond differently to oxidized and reduced nitrogen substrates - even under conditions that would otherwise suggest nitrogen sufficiency by Patricia M Glibert, Frances P. Wilkerson, Richard C. Dugdale, Alexander E. Parker, Alexander E. Parker, Jeffrey eAlexander, Sarah eBlaser, Susan eMurasko, Susan eMurasko

“…The effect of equivalent additions of nitrogen (N, 30-40 μM-N) in different forms (ammonium, NH4+, and nitrate, NO3-) under conditions of different light exposure on phytoplankton community composition was studied in a series of four, 5-day enclosure experiments on water collected from the nutrient-rich San Francisco Bay Delta over two years. Overall, proportionately more chlorophyll a and fucoxanthin (generally indicative of diatoms) was produced per unit N taken up in enclosures enriched with NO3- and incubated at reduced (~15% of ambient) light intensity than in treatments with NO3- with high (~60% of ambient) light exposure or with NH4+ under either light condition. …”
