Spatiotemporal distributions of surface ozone levels in China from 2005 to 2017: A machine learning approach

Environment International, 2020
In recent years, ground-level ozone has become a severe ambient pollutant in major urban areas of China, which has adverse impacts on population health. However, in-situ measurements of the ozone concentration before 2013 in China are quite scarce, which

Quantification and evaluation of atmospheric pollutant emissions from open biomass burning with multiple methods: a case study for the Yangtze River Delta region, China [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019
Air pollutant emissions from open biomass burning (OBB) in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) were estimated for 2005–2015 using three (traditional bottom-up, fire radiative power (FRP), and constraining) approaches, and the differences among those methods ...

A two-stage robust decision-making framework (2S-RDM) for flood risk adaptation under deep uncertainty

Fundamental Research
Flood is one of the major challenges facing human societies. Adapting to future flood risks involves deep uncertainty, especially when long-term projections of climate change are considered. This study proposed a Two-stage Robust Decision Making (2S-RDM)
