Increasing exposure of global croplands productivity to growing season heatwaves under climate warming
Growing season heatwaves that occur simultaneously over global croplands can negatively impact global food baskets. The long-term changes of growing season heatwaves, as well as their impacts on croplands productivity, are crucial to food security, but remain unclear. Here, we investigated changes in the frequency, intensity and magnitude of growing season heatwaves from the past to the future over the global croplands, based on observations and …
Quantifying the extremity of 2022 Chinese Yangtze River Valley daily hot extreme
In 2022, an extreme heatwave struck the Yangtze River Valley (YRV) of China. Existing studies have highlighted its record-breaking magnitude by comparison with historical records using a fixed baseline. However, the quantification of extremity relies on the choice of baseline. While using fixed baseline allows us to understand the changes in extremes with the background warming, the use of moving baseline quantifies the extremity relative to rece…
Regional projection of climate warming effects on coastal seas in east China
The coastal region in east China experiences massive anthropogenic eutrophication, and the bottom water off the Changjiang River Estuary in the East China Sea faces the threat of severe seasonal hypoxia. We find that projected future climate changes will work in parallel with anthropogenic eutrophication to exacerbate current hypoxia and increase shelf vulnerability to bottom hypoxia. We use a coupled physical-biogeochemical regional model to inv…
Anthropogenic warming of Tibetan Plateau and constrained future projection
Serving as ‘the water tower of Asia’, the Tibetan Plateau (TP) supplies water resources to more than 1.4 billion people. It is warming more rapidly than the global average over the past decades, affecting regional hydrological cycle and ecosystem services. However, the anthropogenic (ANT) influence remains unknown. Here we assessed the human contribution to the observed TP warming based on coupled climate simulations and an optimal fingerprinting…
Investigating L2 writers’ metacognitive awareness about L1-L2 rhetorical differences
Associations of L1-to-L2 rhetorical transfer with L2 writers’ perception of L2 writing difficulty and L2 writing proficiency
Attribution of the record-breaking heat event over Northeast Asia in summer 2018
In summer 2018, an extraordinary heat wave with record-breaking high temperatures hit Northeast Asia. However, the contribution of atmospheric circulation to this heat wave remains unknown. In this study, we quantify the contribution of circulation by using the flow analogue method. It is found that Northeast China, Korea and Japan were the most affected areas by the heat event, from daily to monthly timescales. The persistent high temperature wa…
The Reversed Brain Drain
This article reviewed the Chinese policy and talent programmes after 1978 to reverse the historically brain drain of China. Under the current wave of reversed migration, Chinese overseas returned scientists and scholars have gradually changed the labour structure of Chinese academia. We used the dataset of the 2008 National Survey of Science and Technology Personnels, conducted by the Chinese Academy of Science and Technology for Development (CAS…
