Divergence and Interdependence-based Hybrid Weighting Scheme
Development of Divergence and Interdependence-based Hybrid Weighting Scheme (DIHWS) for accurate assessment of regional drought
Lowering the cost of reforestation for climate mitigation
By applying natural regeneration and plantations where each is more cost-effective, reforestation could achieve up to ten times more low-cost mitigation than previously estimated by the IPCC.
Crop redistribution can reduce the environmental footprint within groundwater depletion regions by more than one-third and contribute to the recovery of groundwater table
How to provide co-benefits of food security, resource use efficiency, and friendly environment for spatially targeted, remains unanswered especially in groundwater depletion (GWD) regions. we developed a framework for crop redistribution to achieve synergistic effects across multi-dimensions.
Accelerated Warming in the North Pacific Since 2013
In a new study published in Nature Climate Change, a team of researchers has uncovered an accelerated warming in the North Pacific since 2013 and its causes (Hu et al. 2024)
