The global aluminium smelting industry represents a significant contributor to industrial greenhouse gas emissions. As aluminium is an essential material in clean energy manufacturing and modern infrastructure development, the increasing demand for this metal has made emission reduction in primary aluminium production a critical factor in achieving global carbon neutrality. Nevertheless, the pr...
The losses caused by tropical cyclones (TCs), one of the most destructive weather systems on Earth, are related to their frequency. Over the last decades, the annual number of global TCs remains fairly stable at a frequency of about 80-90 per year. However, the evolving pattern of this frequency persists as unpredictable, which may potentially jeopardize human productivity, social progress, and...
The blue skies over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) are crystal clear, expansive, and profoundly captivating, leaving an indelible impression on all who venture there. Upon closer inspection, an intriguing phenomenon comes to light: unique clouds resembling popcorn dot the horizon (Fig. 1). Dubbed "popcorn clouds," these miniature formations owe their existence to robust convective activities characte...
Frequent extreme weather events occurring across the globe in recent years have exerted substantial impacts on both society and the economy. Notably, the European summer heatwave of 2003 stands as a quintessential example of such extreme phenomena. As one of the pivotal regulatory regions for the global climate, the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is recognized as the "Third Pole" owing to its geographica...
Tourism activities facilitate cross-regional population mobility, allowing tourists to acquire diverse physical and cultural experiences in other regions. However, the cross-regional flow of cultural services is inherently dynamic and fraught with uncertainty. A nuanced understanding of tourist flow patterns and satisfaction levels with tourism experiences is pivotal in facilitating the rationa...
