Global food security is increasingly threatened by climate change and regional human conflicts. Abnormal fluctuations in crop production in major exporting countries can cause volatility in food prices and household consumption in importing...
Steam caps in geothermal reservoirs can be monitored using seismic noise interferometry [0.03%]
利用地震噪声干涉技术监测地热储层中的蒸汽封存现象
Pilar Sánchez-Pastor,Sin-Mei Wu,Ketil Hokstad et al.
Pilar Sánchez-Pastor et al.
Harvesting geothermal energy often leads to a pressure drop in reservoirs, decreasing their profitability and promoting the formation of steam caps. While steam caps are valuable energy resources, they also alter the reservoir thermodynamic...
Influence of reef isostasy, dynamic topography, and glacial isostatic adjustment on sea-level records in Northeastern Australia [0.03%]
论礁岛异剥、动态地形以及冰川消退引起的地壳反弹对澳大利亚东北部海平面记录的影响

Understanding sea level during the peak of the Last Interglacial (125,000 yrs ago) is important for assessing future ice-sheet dynamics in response to climate change. The coasts and continental shelves of northeastern Australia (Queensland)...
Joint optimization of land carbon uptake and albedo can help achieve moderate instantaneous and long-term cooling effects [0.03%]
土地碳吸收和反射率的联合优化有助于实现适度的瞬时和长期冷却效应
Alexander Graf,Georg Wohlfahrt,Sergio Aranda-Barranco et al.
Alexander Graf et al.
Both carbon dioxide uptake and albedo of the land surface affect global climate. However, climate change mitigation by increasing carbon uptake can cause a warming trade-off by decreasing albedo, with most research focusing on afforestation...
Decline in seasonal predictability potentially destabilized Classic Maya societies [0.03%]
季风可预测性下降可能动摇了古典玛雅社会
Tobias Braun,Sebastian F M Breitenbach,Vanessa Skiba et al.
Tobias Braun et al.
Classic Maya populations living in peri-urban states were highly dependent on seasonally distributed rainfall for reliable surplus crop yields. Despite intense study of the potential impact of decadal to centennial-scale climatic changes on...
