Understanding compound extreme precipitations preconditioned by heatwaves over China under climate change

Environmental Research Letters
Compared with individual heatwaves or storm events, the compound extreme precipitations preconditioned by heatwaves (CHEPs) usually amplify their adverse repercussions on both ecosystems and society. However, little is known about the physical mechanisms

Flood Mitigation by Permeable Pavements in Chinese Sponge City Construction [PDF]

Water, 2018
It is important to evaluate the effectiveness of permeable pavements on flood mitigation at different spatial scales for their effective application, for example, sponge city construction in China. This study evaluated the effectiveness of three types of permeable pavements (i.e., permeable asphalts (PA), permeable concretes (PC), and permeable ...

Stoma‐Shell Nanoarchitecture for Enhanced Plasma Confinement Catalysis in Synthesis of Ethanol from CO2

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
High‐energy electron impact in plasma catalysis often causes excessive dissociation of active intermediates, limiting C2+ product selectivity. To address this challenge, a bio‐inspired stoma‐shell nanoarchitecture is designed to decouple electron impact from catalytic reaction zones.

Three-dimensional meteorological drought characteristics and associated risk in China

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
Drought as a hazardous natural disaster has been widely studied based on various drought indices. However, the characteristics of droughts have not been robustly explored considering its dual nature in space and time across China in the past few decades.
