High-resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM), which can offer accurate basic geographical data, plays a vital role in the research fields of global climate change, ocean tidal movement and matter exchange of terrestrial spheres. High-resolution global ocean DEMs, as a frontier branch of marine geology and marine surveying and mapping, provides a direct basis for understanding the tectonic move...
Reducing the use of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) is an important link in the making of carbon mitigation policies in the transport sector. Estimating the carbon mitigation and health cobenefits from the banning of ICEVs across different provinces is of great significance to the formulation of the “step-by-step” strategies and optimization of policy efficiency. Therefore, Cai We...
The heat exchange between land surface and atmosphere (mainly including sensible and latent heat) is a significant factor impacting the energy distribution among land surface, atmosphere and deep soil, and further impacts the thermal and dynamic processes of the atmosphere. The complexity of land cover types increases the complexity of heat exchange between land and atmosphere. In addition, due...

Evapotranspiration (ET) is the link between energy, water and carbon cycle. The ET remote sensing model is the main approach to obtain ET spatial distribution. However, these models are often subject to great uncertainty in their estimation due to their difficulty to distinguish the contribution of vegetation canopy and soil to ET and too many PFT-specific empirical parameters of vegetation. To...
The Olympic Games are one of the most influential mega-events worldwide, having exerted tremendous political, economic, social and cultural influences over the past decades, and becoming an important catalyzer promoting host cities to upgrade, transform, construct and develop themselves. As an important part of urban environment, urban greenspaces have proven to generate multiple ecological, en...
On November 15, 2022, Clarivate released the global list of Highly Cited Researchers in 2022, and five teachers from the Department of Earth System Science (DESS) were selected. Among them, Professor Guan Dabo and Associate Professor Liu Zhu were rated Highly Cited Researchers in the field of environment and ecology, while Assistant Professor Tong Dan, Professor Yang Kun and Professor Zhang Qi...
Spatio-temporal continuous high-efficiency and high-accuracy global land cover data are indispensable basic data in the research and decision-making of sustainable development, the development of earth system models, resource management, assessment of ecological environment and other work. Currently, land cover mapping data are still limited in terms of spatio-temporal span, spatio-temporal fin...
