Anthropogenic heating scenarios, urban agglomerations, and heatwaves


Published works of Master’s students, Mitsuna Sekiya and Ying Liu, are now available in the Journal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers website (linked below). Their works are intertwined with Mitsuna mainly focusing on the anthropogenic heat emission dataset construction and Shadow focusing on the impacts of a large urban agglomeration’s formation on the heat wave events. The titles, along with the co-authors are written as follows.

Liu, Y., Varquez, A. C. G., Khanh, D. N., & Kanda, M. (2025). Investigating the Impact of Urban Agglomeration Formation on Heat Waves Through Deep Learning-Based Land Cover Classification Data. Journal of JSCE, 13(2). doi: https://doi.org/10.2208/journalofjsce.24-16132

Sekiya, M., Varquez, A. C. G., Khanh, D. N., Inagaki, A., Kanda, M., Ihara, T., & Itsubo, N. (2025). GLOBAL ANTHROPOGENIC HEAT EMISSION PROJECTIONS INFORMED BY AN INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT MODEL. Japanese Journal of JSCE, 81(16), n/a. doi: https://doi.org/10.2208/jscejj.24-16131

The works above are part of collaborative regional and global climate modeling projects. Work is underway to publish the datasets and tools constructed in the work of Sekiya. Abstracts are summarized in the Publications page.
