More than 60% of global fossil-fuel CO2 emissions are produced in cities. Greenhouse gas emission reduction in cities is a key to realizing the goal of “carbon neutrality”. Timely and detailed city-level emissions inventories can provide support for the formulation of efficient emission reduction policies. Unfortunately, due to the difficulty in accessing city-level energy consumption statist...
On the afternoon of September 8th, Tsinghua University held the 2022 Teacher's Day Celebration Conference with the theme of “Welcoming the 20th CPC National Congress and Nurturing Root and Soul to Cultivate New People”, in which individuals and collectives with outstanding achievements in teaching and education were commended. The "Computational Geoscience Team" of the Department of Earth Sys...
Recently, the Research Group of Associate Professor Wang Yong of the Department of Earth System Science (DESS), Tsinghua University has designed a resolution scale-aware convection parameterization scheme to study its impact on aerosol simulation in global climate models (GCMs), and further analyzed the impact mechanism.The horizontal grid spacing (resolution) of GCM is generally about several ...
Mainland Southeast Asia (MSA), located between China and the South Asian Sub-continent, is a key region for the promotion of the Maritime Silk Road in the Belt & Road Initiative. With a typical tropical monsoon climate, this region has been affected by climate change in recent years, frequently hit by natural disasters such as droughts and floods. Meanwhile, it is very difficult to monitor and ...
China is playing an increasing role in global climate change mitigation, and city-specific information on the emissions trends and patterns can provide scientific support for China's realization of the goal of carbon peaking and the implementation of the path of low-carbon transformation when designing low-carbon policies. the Carbon Emission Accounts and Datasets for Emerging Economies (CEADs)...
A consensus has been reached that measures coping with climate change can effectively improve air quality, and air pollutants and greenhouse gases share the same sources. The clean air measures implemented in China in the recent years have substantially reduced air pollutants and their impact on climate change has also drawn widespread attention. The related research on the impact of clean air ...
Liu Zhu's Research Group of the Department of Earth System Science (DESS) Tsinghua University has recently conducted a research on Beijing residents' travel modes, and analyzed the health co-benefits of travel modes on people of different age groups and genders. Through the scenario analysis of climate mitigation strategies for residents' travel modes in the city proper of Beijing, it has been ...
On June 5, 2022, the World Environment Day, the Alliance of CAST Member Societies in Ecological Environment (hereinafter referred to as "the Alliance") announced China’s 2021 top 10 scientific and technological advances in ecological environment. The top 10 advances were recommended by academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), together ...
