Snowmelt risk telecouplings for irrigated agriculture
Nature Climate Change, 2022 Climate change is altering the timing and magnitude of snowmelt, which may either directly or indirectly via global trade affect agriculture and livelihoods dependent on snowmelt. Here, we integrate subannual irrigation and snowmelt dynamics and a model of international trade to assess the global redistribution of snowmelt dependencies and risks under ...

Work–Residence Mismatch Drives Air Pollution Disparities Across Urban–Rural China
Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Across the globe, spatial mismatches between work and residence reshape human mobility and influence regional air quality, yet their effects across urban–rural systems remain poorly quantified. China's ongoing urbanization and rural revitalization underscore the urgent need to understand these dynamics. Here, using multi‐source geospatial data,
