Green and Urban Science in the next EPN issue
Urban Science is multidisciplinary research towards understanding and solving problems of contemporary urban issues . It combines disciplines of urban geography , urban and regional planning and urban sociology . Green Urban Science adds to this research towards sustainable transformations .
What is the role of physics in this highly interdisciplinary research field ? In the next issue of EPN we explore ‘ aquathermia ’: heating and cooling buildings using natural water . Also a study on near room-temperature thermomagnetic energy harvesting is presented .
In another contribution the problem of litter in the oceans is studied . Most of it is gone missing , but it might be transformed … or transported .
This and more in the next issue of EPN , which will come on-line around 21 June 2023 as a flipbook at www . epn . eps . org and as registered document at www . europhysics . org . n
