Serious threat to biodiversity hotspots due to mountain forests being lost at accelerating rate
Previously, forest loss primarily occurred in lowlands where forests are easy to access, and mountain areas had limited forest loss due to their rugged location. However, since the turn of the 21st century, mountain forests have been increasingly exp

Developing dynamic engineering adaptive pathway to reduce flood risk in coastal cities under deep uncertainty based on “regret” theory
Uncertainty in sea level rise and future extreme climate events presents a great planning challenge for flood defence in coastal mega cities like Shanghai. While academic literature has largely focused on uncertainty analysis, engineering solution de
