Suicide and ambient temperature in East Asian countries: A time-stratified case-crossover analysis

A limited literature base suggests that ambient temperature contributes to suicide, with studies typically focused on a single nation using temporal and spatial aggregated data. The researchers evaluated an association between ambient temperature and suicide in multiple cities in three East Asian countries.

Characterizing the water balance of the Sooke Reservoir, British Columbia over the last century

Infrastructure such as dams and reservoirs are critical water-supply features in several regions of the world. However, ongoing population growth, increased demand and climate variability/change necessitate the better understanding of these systems, particularly in terms of their long-term trends. The Sooke Reservoir (SR) of British Columbia, Canada is one such reservoir that currently supplies water to ~300,000 people, and is subject to considerable inter and intra-annual climatic variations.
