Atmospheric rivers associated with summer heavy rainfall over the Yangtze Plain [PDF]

Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science, 2020
Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are long, narrow bands of enhanced water vapour transport in the low atmosphere, mainly from the tropics into the midlatitudes.

An Eco-Friendly Neutralization Process by Carbon Mineralization for Ca-Rich Alkaline Wastewater Generated from Concrete Sludge

Metals, 2017
Waste-concrete recycling processes using wet-based crushing methods inevitably generate a large amount of alkaline concrete sludge, as well as wastewater, which contains abundant Ca ions. The Ca-rich alkaline wastewater must then be neutralized for reuse

High-Resolution Ensemble Projection of Mean and Extreme Precipitation Over China Based on Multiple Bias-Corrected RCM Simulations

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
In this study, we used the cumulative distribution function transform to conduct a bias correction for simulations from different regional climate models (RCMs) driven by one global climate model (HadGEM2-ES).

Balancing climate change mitigation and environmental protection interests in the EU Directive on carbon capture and storage [PDF]

, 2012
The EU Climate and Energy Package highlights the potential contradictions between the climate change imperative of reducing GHGs emissions and the importance to maintain environmental integrity. While the package supports climate change mainstreaming, it

Global and regional hydrological impacts of global forest expansion [PDF]

Biogeosciences
Large-scale reforestation, afforestation, and forest restoration schemes have gained global support as climate change mitigation strategies due to their significant carbon dioxide removal (CDR) potential. However, there has been limited research into the

Evaluation of the Applicability of Concrete Sludge for the Removal of Cu, Pb, and Zn from Contaminated Aqueous Solutions

Metals, 2018
In this study, the possibility of using concrete-sludge recycling as an immobilizer, including dried sludge (DS), precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), and calcite-coated particles (CCP), was evaluated for the remediation of Cu-, Pb-, and Zn-contaminated

Blurred Lines: The Ethics and Policy of Greenhouse Gas Removal at Scale

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2018
The topic of Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR) for climate geoengineering is becoming increasingly salient following the IPCC's 5th Assessment Report and the Paris Agreement. GGR is thought of as a separate category to mitigation techniques such as low-carbon

Morphology of Rain Clusters Influencing Rainfall Intensity over Hainan Island

Remote Sensing, 2021
Continuous observations from geostationary satellites can show the morphology of precipitation cloud systems in quasi-real-time, but there are still large deviations in the inversion of precipitation.

Analytical framework for integrating climate change mitigation and adaptation in local urban planning policy

Revista Iberoamericana de Estudios de Desarrollo, 2022
Climate change is a multidimensional observable fact and is regarded as one of the greatest challenge human societies is facing in the 21st century. Debates on climate change advocate that urban areas not only contribute to climate change by emitting ...

The effectiveness of policy on consumer choices for private road passenger transport emissions reductions in six major economies

Environmental Research Letters, 2015
The effectiveness of fiscal policy to influence vehicle purchases for emissions reductions in private passenger road transport depends on its ability to incentivise consumers to make choices oriented towards lower emissions vehicles.
