The Declining Trend of Arctic Sea‐Ice Extent (1979–2025): Segmented by Abrupt Change Points
Abstract Arctic sea‐ice extent (SIE), a high‐accuracy observable, is a key indicator for assessing sea‐ice state and its physical evolution. Extreme SIE losses thus often spark debates over potential Arctic tipping behavior and nonlinear threshold responses.

Regional Urban Extent Extraction Using Multi-Sensor Data and One-Class Classification
Stable night-time light data from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Operational Line-scan System (OLS) provide a unique proxy for anthropogenic development. This paper presents a regional urban extent extraction method using a one-class

ABSTRACT The Yellow River Basin is a critical region for ecological conservation and sustainable development in China. It also serves as a core area for carbon emissions across various functional zones of construction land. Accurately understanding carbon emissions from various types of construction land in the Yellow River Basin is crucial for China ...

ABSTRACT Landscape fragmentation may influence the spatial distribution and temporal variation of non‐point source (NPS) pollution by altering hydrological processes, pollutant transport pathways, and ecosystem service functions. However, under the combined effects of natural factors (e.g., precipitation, topography) and anthropogenic factors (e.g ...

Does digital surveillance boost citizen compliance? Evidence from China
Abstract Authoritarian regimes increasingly deploy digital surveillance to monitor citizens, but how this affects citizen compliance remains understudied. We argue that, beyond repressing or deterring regime opponents, digital surveillance serves as an instrument of everyday governance that operates through psychological mechanisms rather than direct ...

Monte Carlo Simulation of 3D Cloud Radiance Distributions Affected by Ground‐Based Lighting
Abstract Satellite observations of artificial light sources at night are increasing. Clouds, as the most important radiative modulators in the Earth‐atmosphere system, significantly influence the observed values and spatial distribution of the artificial light coming from the ground.
