Unlocking the power of dynamic tariffs in the retail electricity market
In this study, we explore the role of dynamic pricing in enhancing electricity market efficiency, improving system reliability, and mitigating price volatility in an era of increasing renewable energy integration.
Employing biodiversity to reduce pesticide risk
Biodiversity (eg., crop diversification, crop-domestic animal co-culture, and crop-edible fungus co-culture) has been proved to be a useful way to suppress pests and therefore to reduce pesticide risk in farming.
Distinct anthropogenic aerosol and greenhouse gas effects on El Niño/Southern Oscillation variability
El Niño/Southern Oscillation variability has conspicuous impacts on ecosystems and extreme weather. Here, we investigate the effects of anthropogenic aerosols and greenhouse gases on ENSO variability during the historical period using a broad set of climate models.
Extreme heatwaves could intensify much more than expected with climate change
It is known that heatwaves become more severe as the climate warms. But a new study led by the University of Graz now shows that the most extreme heat events may intensify much stronger than previously expected.
