Satellite forecasting of crop harvest can trigger a cross-hemispheric production response and improve global food security (2023)
Journal Article
Tanaka, T., Sun, L., Becker-Reshef, I., Song, X.-P., & Puricelli, E. (2023). Satellite forecasting of crop harvest can trigger a cross-hemispheric production response and improve global food security. Communications Earth & Environment, 4(1), 334. https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-023-00992-2

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 countries...

Implementation of carbon pricing in an aging world calls for targeted protection schemes (2023)
Journal Article
Tian, P., Feng, K., Zheng, H., Hubacek, K., Li, J., Zhong, H., Chen, X., & Sun, L. (2023). Implementation of carbon pricing in an aging world calls for targeted protection schemes. PNAS Nexus, 2(7), Article pgad209. https://doi.org/10.1093/pnasnexus/pgad209

Understanding the impact of climate fiscal policies on vulnerable groups is a prerequisite for equitable climate mitigation. However, there has been a lack of attention to the impacts of such policies on the elderly, especially the low-income elderly...

Land‐cover and land‐use change trajectory hopping facilitates estate‐crop expansion into protected forests in Indonesia (2023)
Journal Article
Xin, Y., Sun, L., & Hansen, M. C. (2023). Land‐cover and land‐use change trajectory hopping facilitates estate‐crop expansion into protected forests in Indonesia. Conservation Letters, 16(4), Article e12957. https://doi.org/10.1111/conl.12957

Protected areas (PAs) have been regarded as a critical strategy to protect natural forest (NF) and biodiversity. Estate‐crop expansion is an important driver of deforestation in Indonesia. Yet, little is known regarding the temporal dynamics of PA ef...

Increase in grain production potential of China under climate change (2023)
Journal Article
Liang, Z., Sun, L., Tian, Z., Fischer, G., & Yan, H. (2023). Increase in grain production potential of China under climate change. PNAS Nexus, 2(3), Article pgad057. https://doi.org/10.1093/pnasnexus/pgad057

The rapid growth of China’s demand for grains is expected to continue in the coming decades, largely as a result of the increasing feed demand to produce protein-rich food. This leads to a great concern on future supply potentials of Chinese agricult... Read More about Increase in grain production potential of China under climate change.

China’s electric vehicle and climate ambitions jeopardized by surging critical material prices (2023)
Journal Article
Wang, H., Feng, K., Wang, P., Yang, Y., Sun, L., Yang, F., Chen, W.-Q., Zhang, Y., & Li, J. (2023). China’s electric vehicle and climate ambitions jeopardized by surging critical material prices. Nature Communications, 14(1), 1246. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-36957-4

The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) on a large scale is crucial for meeting the desired climate commitments, where affordability plays a vital role. However, the expected surge in prices of lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese, four critical ma...

Dynamic adaptive engineering pathways for mitigating flood risks in Shanghai with regret theory (2023)
Journal Article
Tian, Z., Ramsbottom, D., Sun, L., Huang, Y., Zou, H., & Liu, J. (2023). Dynamic adaptive engineering pathways for mitigating flood risks in Shanghai with regret theory. nature water, 1(2), 198-208. https://doi.org/10.1038/s44221-022-00017-w

Uncertainty in sea level rise and future extreme climate events presents a great planning challenge for flood defence in coastal mega cities like Shanghai. While academic literature has largely focused on uncertainty analysis, engineering solution de...
