Sector-specific carbon emission trajectories in Beijing (2025–2035): a STIRPAT–LEAP coupled framework for identifying optimal decarbonization pathways

Frontiers in Environmental Science
The two-fold carbon ambitions of China of ensuring its emissions peak prior to 2030 and carbon-neutrality before 2060 presuppose sectoral decarbonization plans to suit heterogeneous technological and economic limitations.

Impact of COVID-19 Control Measures on Trace Gases (NO2, HCHO and SO2) and Aerosols over India during Pre-monsoon of 2020

Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 2020
To prevent the transmission of COVID-19, India implemented country-wide restrictions on socio-economic activities. Using satellite observations for the pre-monsoon (March–April–May) season, we explore the effect of the extended lockdown, on nitrogen ...

A remote sensing framework for predicting and managing waste generation in tropical highland agroecosystems: case study of land use transitions in cameron highlands, Malaysia

Scientific Reports
Urbanisation, agriculture, and tourism are rapidly transforming land use and land cover (LULC) in tropical highland agroecosystems. In the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia, these transitions are closely associated with rising volumes of solid waste, yet the ...

Rapid Climate Links Between High Northern Latitudes and Tropical Southeast Asia Over the Last 40 ka

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
The climate response of tropical Southeast Asia to abrupt climate change originating from high northern latitudes remains poorly understood. Here, marine sediments recovered from the Northwest Borneo Trough are analyzed to trace variations in terrigenous

An umbrella review of health co-benefits from actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

The Lancet Planetary Health
Background: There have been many modelled studies of potential health co-benefits from actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but so far there have been no large-scale attempts to compare the magnitude of health and climate effects across sectors ...

Tropical vegetation response to Heinrich Event 1 as simulated with the UVic ESCM and CCSM3 [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2013
We investigated changes in tropical climate and vegetation cover associated with abrupt climate change during Heinrich Event 1 (HE1, ca. 17.5 ka BP) using two different global climate models: the University of Victoria Earth System-Climate Model (UVic ...

Near future projections of tropical cyclone tracks over the Bay of Bengal using high resolution CMIP6 models

Scientific Reports
Future changes in tropical cyclone (TC) characteristics play a critical role in shaping the impacts and risks associated with climate change. In this study, we analyzed the near-future projections (2015–2050) by the high-resolution CMIP6-HighResMIP ...

A threefold rise in widespread extreme rain events over central India

Nature Communications, 2017
Against the backdrop of a declining monsoon, the number of extreme rain events is on the rise over central India. Here the authors identify a threefold increase in widespread extreme rains over the region during 1950–2015, driven by an increasing ...
