uncovered a critical, underrecognized trade-off in global environmental policies: while essential for improving public health, large-scale air pollution reductions are unintentionally intensifying warm-season surface urban heat islands (UHI) in humid climates. Published in the prestigious journal <em>Nature Cities<\/em>, the findings highlight the urgent need for integrated policies that address both air quality and urban heat adaptation, particularly in rapidly urbanising, humid regions.\r\n\r\nMany countries face compounded risks from intensified urban heat islands and air pollution. Over the past decades, stringent emission controls have successfully improved background air quality by reducing aerosols - tiny particles in the atmosphere that can reflect sunlight. However, the cascading effects of these clean air initiatives on UHI have remained largely underexplored.\r\n\r\nUsing large-ensemble global climate simulations, a research team led by Professor Yuyu Zhou, Department of Geography, Faculty of Social Sciences, and Professor Peng Gong, Vice-President and Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Academic Development), Chair Professor of Global Sustainability at the Department of Geography and the Department of Earth Sciences at HKU, has demonstrated that UHI responses to background aerosol mitigation diverge significantly depending on the local hydroclimate. When aerosols are reduced, more downward solar radiation reaches the Earth, warming both urban and rural surfaces.\r\n\r\nIn humid climates, such as East Asia and Indonesia, this creates a severe imbalance. Urban areas, dominated by impervious surfaces like concrete and asphalt, have limited capacity for evaporative cooling. In contrast, surrounding rural areas benefit from the increased sunlight, rainfall, and vegetation growth, which enhance their natural cooling processes. Consequently, urban warming significantly outpaces rural warming, exacerbating the UHI effect. Conversely, in arid regions, rural areas lack the moisture and vegetation to cool down, causing them to warm faster than cities and thereby weakening the UHI effect.\r\n\r\nThe urgency of this issue is most acute in rapidly urbanising humid zones, including parts of Asia, Africa, and South America. Observational evidence from China\u2019s Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan (APPCAP) corroborates these findings, revealing that a period of stringent air pollution controls was accompanied by a marked increase in UHI intensity.\r\n\r\n<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-44116 \" src=\"https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Figure_for-news_page-0001-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"503\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Figure_for-news_page-0001-1.jpg 1703w, https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Figure_for-news_page-0001-1-260x300.jpg 260w, https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Figure_for-news_page-0001-1-888x1024.jpg 888w, https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Figure_for-news_page-0001-1-768x885.jpg 768w, https:\/\/web.socsc.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Figure_for-news_page-0001-1-1333x1536.jpg 1333w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong>Key implicati<\/strong><strong>ons of the research:<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>\u00a0- Divergent UHI responses: <\/strong>Background aerosol reductions amplify warm-season surface urban heat islands in humid climates but weaken them in arid regions.\r\n\r\n<strong>\u00a0- Mechanism in humid climates: <\/strong>Urban warming exceeds rural warming because impervious surfaces restrict evaporative cooling, while rural areas benefit from enhanced evapotranspiration driven by increased solar radiation, rainfall, and vegetation.\r\n\r\n<strong>\u00a0- A call for integrated policy design: <\/strong>The findings do not undermine the necessity of emission controls for public health; rather, they highlight the pressing need to pair air pollution reduction with proactive, targeted urban heat adaptation strategies.\r\n\r\nThe study was published in the leading journal <em>Nature Cities<\/em>.\r\n\r\n<strong>About the research team:<\/strong>\r\nThis research was led by Professor Yuyu Zhou and Professor Peng Gong.

While both methods are highly effective and form the foundation of major psychotherapeutic approaches, it has long remained unclear how they actually operate in the human brain during complex, real-world experiences.\r\n\r\nA groundbreaking study led by Professor Benjamin Becker from the Department of Psychology at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) has successfully mapped these neural dynamics. Published recently in <em>Nature Communications<\/em>, the research was carried out in collaboration with several universities in China. By combining realistic, dynamic video clips with advanced AI-inspired decoding techniques, the team has provided an unprecedented insight into how our brains handle emotional distress in life-like scenarios.\r\n\r\nFor decades, traditional neuroscience experiments have relied on static, isolated images to observe which specific brain regions are activated during emotion regulation. However, real-life emotions do not occur in a vacuum; they unfold continuously over time, much like a film. To capture this complexity, Professor Becker\u2019s team utilised dynamic video clips. Their findings revealed that successful emotion regulation does not rely on a single, isolated \u201ccontrol centre\u201d in the brain. Instead, it emerges from highly co-ordinated, whole-brain interactions that integrate thousands of voxels across sensory, control, self-referential, and subcortical systems.\r\n\r\nBy evaluating both strategies within the same participants, the study demonstrated that the brain can regulate negative emotions through more than one route. The researchers discovered that while acceptance and reappraisal share a common neural core linked to self-related processing \u2014 which helps us monitor and integrate emotional experiences with our personal goals \u2014 they diverge significantly in the wider networks they recruit. Reappraisal relies much more heavily on brain networks associated with cognitive control and active regulation. Conversely, acceptance reflects a more embodied, experiential neural approach.\r\n\r\nUltimately, these findings suggest that there is no single \u201cbest\u201d approach to managing difficult emotions in daily life. Because the brain is naturally wired with multiple pathways to cope with distress, emotional well-being depends on cognitive flexibility \u2014 the ability to choose the strategy that best fits the individual and the situation.\r\n\r\nLooking to the future, Professor Becker and his team aim to expand their research from individual brains to social environments. Recognising that social support is one of the most powerful natural tools for stress reduction, the team has already developed brain \u2013 computer interface applications to leverage this process. They are currently exploring whether AI-based approaches, such as chatbots powered by large language models, can engage the same neural pathways involved in human social support to effectively help people reduce stress in their everyday lives.\r\n\r\n<span data-contrast=\"auto\">Full article:\u00a0<a
