Heterogeneity and trend of household energy structure variation between urban and rural residents
Based on time-series data of household energy consumption in urban and rural China from 1985 to 2021, this study reveals a remarkable shift: urban areas transitioned their energy infrastructure earlier than rural areas, with both shifting from coal dominance to modern energy sources. However, energy use varied between urban and rural areas, with urbanites also utilizing heating services and rural residents relying on crop straw, firewood, animal …
Use of a Modis Satellite-Based Aridity Index to Monitor Drought Conditions in the Pearl River Basin from 2001 to 2021
In recent decades, global climate change has made natural hazards increasingly prevalent. Droughts, as a common natural hazard, have been a hot study topic for years. Most studies conducted drought monitoring in arid and semi-arid regions. In humid and sub-humid regions, due to climate change, seasonal droughts and seasonal water shortages were often observed too, but have not been well studied. This study, using a MODIS satellite-based aridity i…
Sustaining China’s large rivers
Ten years of the Three Gorges Dam
The Three Gorges Dam (TGD), the world’s largest source of ‘clean’ hydroelectric power (Shen and Xie 2004 ), has entered its tenth year after the first turbine went into operation in June 2003. The dam, with a generating capacity 20 times that of the United States’ Hoover Dam, has been hailed as a crucial part of a solution to China’s energy crisis. Despite great benefits, however, major concerns have been voiced over the disastrous environmental …
