The future of decent work: Forecasting heat stress and the intersection of sustainable development challenges in India's brick kilns (2024)
Journal Article
Boyd, D. S., Jackson, B., Sparks, J. D., Foody, G. M., Girindran, R., Gosling, S., Trodd, Z., Bhriain, L. H., & Rodriguez-Huerta, E. (2024). The future of decent work: Forecasting heat stress and the intersection of sustainable development challenges in India's brick kilns. Sustainable Development, https://doi.org/10.1002/sd.3272

The impacts of climate change-induced heat stress on workers are most prevalent in sectors with decent work deficits and this requires consideration for sustainable development. This paper focuses on the informal economy of brick kilns in India, a se...

Heat stress and the labour force (2024)
Journal Article
Dasgupta, S., Robinson, E. J. Z., Shayegh, S., Bosello, F., Park, R. J., & Gosling, S. N. (2024). Heat stress and the labour force. Nature Reviews Earth and Environment, 5, 859-872. https://doi.org/10.1038/s43017-024-00606-1

Heat stress affects the health of workers through physiological and behavioural responses, in turn, affecting the labour force through impacts on labour supply, labour productivity and labour capacity. In this Review, we explore the extent to which h... Read More about Heat stress and the labour force.

Timing the first emergence and disappearance of global water scarcity (2024)
Journal Article
Liu, J., Li, D., Chen, H., Wang, H., Wada, Y., Gosling, S. N., Yang, H., Pokhrel, Y., & Ciais, P. (2024). Timing the first emergence and disappearance of global water scarcity. Nature Communications, 15, Article 7129. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-51302-z

Alleviating water scarcity is at the core of Sustainable Development Goal 6. Yet the timing of water scarcity in its onset and possible relief in different regions of the world due to climate change and changing human population dynamics remains poor...

Unravelling long-term impact of water abstraction and climate change on endorheic lakes: A case study of Shortandy Lake in Central Asia (2024)
Journal Article
Baigaliyeva, M., Mount, N., Gosling, S. N., & McGowan, S. (2024). Unravelling long-term impact of water abstraction and climate change on endorheic lakes: A case study of Shortandy Lake in Central Asia. PLoS ONE, 19(7), Article e0305721. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0305721

Endorheic lakes, lacking river outflows, are highly sensitive to environmental changes and human interventions. Central Asia (CA) has over 6000 lakes that have experienced substantial water level variability in the past century, yet causes of recent...
