Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels (hereinafter referred to as "carbon emissions") are one of the main causes of global warming. In the past, governments and academic circles, while focusing attention on the big emitters with huge economies and population scales, ignored the carbon emissions of many small and medium-sized new economies. Recently, an international team spearheaded by Pro...
The lake area on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) accounts for over 50% of the total lake area in China. With the area of alpine lakes constantly increasing, more and more attention has been paid to the impact of lakes on local weather and climate. However, the lake freeze onset simulated by the available mode is seriously too early (antedating by 1~2 months), which problem can hardly be addressed by r...
To timely share the data of global soil moisture monitoring data, “A long term global daily soil moisture dataset derived from AMSR-E and AMSR2 (2002-2022)” released by the National Tibetan Plateau Data Center (https://data.tpdc.ac.cn), has been recently updated to August 31, 2022. Based on AMSR-E/AMSR2 TB, a completely domestic independent algorithm is adopted to retrieve global surface soil...
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)...
