Revealing response pattern of anthropogenic volatile organic compound emissions to urbanization in Asia
As one of the most severe environmental issues apace with urbanization, air pollution poses significant threats to public health and the ecosystem in populous Asia. Emissions of air pollutants and the...
Researchers make progress in study of groundwater in Tibetan Plateau
The Tibetan Plateau and its surroundings, also known as the Third Pole, are widely acknowledged as the Asian water tower. It holds glaciers with an area of about one hundred thousand square kilometers...
Researchers demonstrate AI’s ability to restore wind speed datasets with 88% missing values
Wind speed data is widely used in many sciences, management, and policy fields to assess renewable energy potential, address wind hazards, investigate biological phenomena, and explore climate change/...
Researchers publish new results in field of global warming and Madden-Julian Oscillation-induced extreme rainfall
The sixth assessment report of the IPCC indicates low-to-high confidence in trends of extreme rainfall with regional inconsistency in the tropics, where a key phenomenon causing intra-seasonal variati...
Researchers make progress in river winds and their influences on transport of forest volatiles in Amazonia
The Amazon basin hosts many of the world’s longest and widest rivers, such as the Amazon, Negro, and Tapajos rivers. Air circulations in the form of river winds are driven by thermal contrast between ...
Researchers discover that rewetting global wetlands effectively reduces major greenhouse gas emissions
Carbon and nitrogen losses from degraded wetlands and methane emissions from flooded wetlands are both important sources of greenhouse gas emissions. However, the net-exchange dependence on hydrotherm...
Researchers develop explainable AI to predict dynamics of riverine nitrogen flux from unmonitored watersheds
Excessive riverine export of nitrogen caused by human activities poses huge threats to water security in coastal areas and marine ecosystems. Reducing the global nitrogen flux into oceans becomes an u...
Researchers make series of advances in field of environmental toxicology
The increasing consumption, misuse, and release of antibiotics and perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) into the environment have raised global concern about the potential health risks of these environment...
