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 ...

Climate Change Threatens Micronutrient Density of European Winter Wheat

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Micronutrients are vital for human health. Wheat is a major staple crop and a significant source of minerals and B‐vitamins. The impact of climate change on their content remains largely unknown. We evaluated micronutrient levels in European winter wheat grown under historical and projected climate conditions. Our findings indicate that future climates

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 ...
