Out of 139 included papers, only six studies directly compared different #bluespace types within the same study. Most studies compared blue spaces to urban or a #greenspace environments, rather than other blue spaces.
Lots of research gaps left to address in #bluespaces!

Thrilled to share our new #EnvironmentalResearch article!

Our review investigates the mental health and wellbeing benefits associated with specific blue space types (e.g. coast, river) & characteristics (e.g. sounds).

Europe’s Noise Capital Tries to Turn Down the Volume To combat the ill effects of urban noise pollution, Paris is deploying automated sensors and cracking down on the loudest vehicles.

“The effort to quiet Paris complements the wider campaign to make Paris greener, cleaner & less car-dependent, which include vehicle restrictions in the center, crackdowns on polluting vehicles, & an ambitious expansion of bike networks. Those have cut the city’s average noise level by 2 decibels.”

Dense development is not the enemy of green spaces in the city; it is a prerequisite for them. And vice versa.

Fly over Berlin with Google Earth, one of the densest and greenest cities in Europe.

Yes! Thanks Beth!

US science after a year of Trump: what has been lost and what remains A series of graphics reveals how the Trump administration has sought historic cuts to science and the research workforce.

Trump has been in office for one year. We at @nature.com did a deep dive looking at the administration's disruption of science in numbers.

Take a look—the numbers are staggering. By me, @dangaristo.bsky.social, Jeff Tollefson, @kimay.bsky.social, & help from @noamross.net @scott-delaney.bsky.social

Love when this happens in #Leipzig!

High density residential street in downtown Vancouver with 5(!) rows of street trees creating “kissing canopies”.

This is really important.

The main thing that makes it hard to achieve integrated nature and green in cities isn’t density of buildings or density of people — it's density of cars. And the more well-designed and integrated density of people & buildings you achieve, the fewer cars you need or want.
