A research team from the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered a phenomenon that despite rising sea surface temperatures, global ocean evaporation has decreased over the past decade.
China has deployed its first domestically developed helicopter-borne magnetotelluric detection system, created by the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This advanced system is being used in high-altitude railway construction projects for geological surveys at elevations up to 5,000 meters, successfully addressing challenges that ground-based surveys often face.
A recent study led by Prof. CHEN Yaning from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography has shed light on the factors influencing floods in the Kumalak River catchment, China.
A study led by Prof. AN Zhisheng and Prof. ZHOU Weijian from the Institute of Earth Environment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed an innovative approach to examining the contrasting hydroclimate impacts of summer monsoons and westerly circulation in the hyper-arid Asian interior since the middle Holocene.
A research team from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a new framework to evaluate soil moisture stations' spatial representativeness globally. Their study found that about 63% of existing soil moisture observation stations reliably reflect conditions at the satellite pixel scale, aiding in the validation of satellite-based moisture products.
Led by Prof. QIAN Cheng from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, this study focused on the severe cold wave that impacted eastern China in December 2023. The researchers investigated how human-induced climate change affects the occurrence and intensity of such extreme weather events.
