I recently finished reading 'When the Rivers Run Dry' by Fred Pearce during my flight, and I'm truly enlightened! This insightful book describes the global water crisis in a new perspective and provided a wealth of knowledge on both new and traditional techniques to tackle this pressing issue. Highly recommend it to anyone interested in environmental sustainability and resource management! #WaterCrisis #EnvironmentalSustainability #BookRecommendation #water #hydrology #environmentalscience #waterindustry #environmentalengineering

Based on soil samples from a whole-soil-profile warming experiment and ¹⁸O tracing approach, a #PKUResearch team led by Zhu Biao at the College of Urban and Environmental Sciences, with collaborators, examined the vertical variation of microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) and its response to ~3.3-y experimental warming in an alpine grassland on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau.

[PDF] Macro-Engineering (Water Science and Technology Library) V. Badescu digsell https://lnkd.in/dMS8bxdP Macro-engineering involves the large-scale modification and manipulation of natural systems for the benefit of mankind. The primary goals of some Earth-based macroprojects described in this book are power production, land reclamation, food production, climate change, environment, water, transport and coastal protection. Other Earth or space projects considered here have a more futuristic ring, but our present-day technical skill makes their realization possible. Earth-based macroprojects usually combine different aspects and aims. They have a major impact on the ecology of a region and the inhabitant’s means of living (like tourism, fishing, shipping). Its effects may be felt worldwide, like the rise … Read More » https://lnkd.in/eYPqSdeT

June issue of the EU China Energy Monitor (revised) is now available! 🌏 Thanks to a sharp eye reader who spotted an error in the post on "Implementation Plan for Establishing a Carbon Footprint Management System", we wrote: ”The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE) together with 14 other ministries” which is incorrect. It should be "The Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE) together with 14 other ministries, including the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC)" It has now been corrected. A revised file is posted here and can be downloaded at: https://lnkd.in/ekksStT7 We are continuously enhancing the coverage and style of the monitor.

Can the lateral boundary condition affect the simulated potential evapotranspiration (PET)? In case yes or no, why? How can one determine which variable needs to be calibrated so the PET bias can be minimized? An answer to these questions can be found in this article "Estimating the Potential Evapotranspiration of Egypt Using a Regional Climate Model and a High-Resolution Reanalysis Dataset" published in environmental science proceedings: https://lnkd.in/g_Mu46hp
