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 ce...
Floating solar photovoltaic systems on global reservoirs hold great potential for enormous energy production and water savings
Growing global energy use and the adoption of sustainability goals to limit carbon emissions from fossil fuel burning are increasing the demand for clean energy, including solar. Floating photovoltaic...
SUSTech Feng Lian's team's Nature cover article reveals the increasing trend of global coastal phytoplankton blooms

Researchers develop membrane-free electrochemical system for high-efficient and high-purity phosphate recovery
Phosphorus (P) is often regarded as the primary stimulant for eutrophication, while its vital role in industrial and environmental development is also well acknowledged. Given its future scarcity, P r...
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 focuse...
Global hydropower at important crossroads: the global unused profitable hydropower potential is 5.27 PWh per year
Hydropower is a relatively cost-effective energy source, expected to play a key role in the transition of some nations to decarbonized energy systems. However, the development of hydropower is controv...
