  • Representation of Chinese heroes in Chinese and American graphic narratives

    Xu LianARTICLEJournal of Graphic Novels & Comics2026

    This article examines different ways of representing heroes in Chinese and American graphic narratives to explore the ideological configuration of two different cultures, and to analyse the profound impact of socio-cultural background on graphic narratives. This study focuses on Chinese lianhuanhua and American comics, as these categories are the representative types of their own culture and abundant in terms of heroic depictions. Several major d…

  • A theoretical framework for critical canopy temperature and its application to improve remote-sensing-based estimation of evapotranspiration

    Open AccessZhe Shi, Wenli Zhao et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2026

    Surface energy balance (SEB) models are widely employed for remote-sensing-based evapotranspiration estimation. A critical parameter in most SEB models is the surface temperature of wet or dry boundaries where sensible heat ( H ) or latent heat (LE) equals 0, which is difficult to measure or estimate. The wide application of SEB models is seriously limited due to this challenge. Therefore, this study introduces ‘critical canopy temperature ( T cc…

  • Picto‐verbal representation

    Open AccessXu LianARTICLEThe Journal of Popular Culture2024References: 2

    Scholars have underestimated comics as an art form. This article uses an analysis of unreliable narration to show the complexity of this narrative mechanism in comics and, in turn, the sophistication of comics. Groensteen divides comic narrators into reciters and monstrators, and this distinction provides the basis to discuss unreliable narration in comics. This article categorizes comics with unreliable narration into mono‐sequence and dual‐sequ…

  • Discrepant trends in global land-surface and air temperatures controlled by vegetation biophysical feedbacks

    Open AccessFei Kan, Xu Lian et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Satellite-based land surface temperature (Ts) with continuous global coverage is increasingly used as a complementary measure for air temperature (Ta), yet whether they observe similar temporal trends remains unknown. Here, we systematically analyzed the trend of the difference between satellite-based Ts and station-based Ta (Ts–Ta) over 2003–2022. We found the global land warming rate inffered from Ts was on average 42.6% slower than that from T…
