Risk assessment to China’s agricultural drought disaster in county unit
Lu Hao,Xiaoyu Zhang,Shoudong Liu +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a risk analysis method based on information diffusion theory was applied to create a new drought risk analysis model, and the risk of China's agriculture drought disaster was evaluated on higher spatial resolution of county unit.

A multi-scale assessment of human vulnerability to climate change in the Aral Sea basin
TL;DR: In this article, a review examines the role of scale in the assessment human vulnerability to climate change and offers a multi-scale approach to vulnerability assessment, taking into account regional and local land-use and land-cover changes, social, cultural, political, and institutional factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity of the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum climate to cloud properties.
TL;DR: This study explores the sensitivity of the simulated pre-PETM and PETM periods to change in cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and microphysical properties of liquid water clouds and indicates that past differences in cloud properties may be an important factor in accurately simulating past warm climates.
