Recently, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has officially released the international standard ISO 19130-3, the first ISO standard established under the leadership of Tsinghua University in the field of geographic information.Researcher Bai Yuqi at the Department of Earth System Science (DESS) presided over the formulation of the ISO standard, “ISO/TS 19130-3:2022 Geogra...
Aridity Index (AI), as an index to measure the degree of dryness and wetness in a region, is also one of the climate indexes often involved in the study of global change. In the traditional calculation, AI refers to the ratio of annual average precipitation to net radiation, but this calculation method fails to fully consider the spatial differences of land surface (such as soil texture and top...
On the morning of April 8, 2022, the Award Ceremony of the First Outstanding Shared Open Remote Sensing Dataset Collection Event was held at the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) both online and offline. The surface soil moisture dataset jointly published by the Research Group of Associate Professor Lu Hui of Tsinghua University and Dr Ya...
According to the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, aerosol-cloud interaction, which plays a dominant role in aerosol climate effect, is also one of the main sources for uncertainties in climate simulation. As this process is subject to the nonlinear complex impacts of several variables, its calculation should be accurately parameterized. The widely used w...
Associate Professor Wang Yong’s Research Group of the Department of Earth System Science (DESS), Tsinghua University, in collaboration with Professor Liu Xiaohong’s Research Group of Texas A&M University in the United States, as well as other research groups at home and abroad, used the research methods of observation data, long-term Reanalysis data and climate model simulation to analyze ho...
According to the latest assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), to realize the goal set by Paris Agreement for limiting a global warming to 1.5°C and 2°C by 2100, starting from 2020, the global carbon budget for 1.5 °C and 2 °C warming is estimated to be 400 GtCO2 and 1,150 GtCO2 with 67% likelihood. Liu Zhu's Research Group of the Department of Earth Science ...
