-By Xander Wang, Pelin Kinay, Aminur Shah, and Quan Dau- Many people believe that, due to global warming, a longstanding myth about Greenland might be the reality – a ‘green’ land, resembling its name – ‘Green’, instead of the snowwhite ice-covered land that exists now. Recent scientific evidence suggests the ice sheets Read more…
Ryan Guild, Dr. Xander Wang and other co-author have recently published a study on tracking deforestation, drought, and fire occurrence in Kutai National Park, Indonesia in the Remote Sensing journal. DOI https://doi.org/10.3390/rs14225630 Abstract The dry lowland and mangrove forests of Kutai National Park (KNP) in Indonesia provide invaluable ecosystem services Read more…
A research team (Sana Basheer, Dr. Xander Wang, Aitazaz A Farooque, Rana Ali Nawaz, Kai Liu, Toyin Adekanmbi, and Suqi Liu) recently published a study on Land Use Land Cover change (LULC) using Satellite imagery and machine learning techniques in the Remote Sensing journal. Abstract: Accurate land use land cover Read more…
Dr. Quan Dau and his co-authors have recently contributed a book chapter on water and climate change: Sustainable Development, Environmental and Policy Issues. Full access: https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-323-99875-8.00004-5 Abstract: Climate change has many effects on the hydrological cycle, intensifying the discordance between historical and operational hydrology. Simultaneously, rapid population growth and economic Read more…
Dr Aminur Shah and his co-authors contributed interesting research on how ecosystem-based adaptation can help to archive sustainable development goals. Climate change is here, and the impacts we are already being seen around the world, from higher temperatures, rising sea levels, more frequent and intense droughts, floods, and wildfires, and Read more…
Dr. Pelin Kınay and her co-author conducted a review research on evidence of greenness co-benefits on health, climate change mitigation, and adaptation which is recently published in Environmental Research: Climate journal. Read more: https://doi.org/10.1088/2752-5295/ac4da2 This systematic review aims to appraise the quality of evidence on greenness co-benefits of climate change Read more…
Journal: Remote Sensing DOI: https://doi.org/10.3390/rs14092138 Abstract: One-dimensional (1D) hydraulic models have been extensively used to conduct flood simulations for investigating flood depth and extent maps. However, the 1D models cannot simulate many other flood characteristics, such as flood velocity, duration, arrival time and recession time when the flow is not restricted within the Read more…
