Title: Optimizing wind-solar synergies in China with spatiotemporal analysis and climate change impacts Journal: Journal of Cleaner Production DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2025.146924 Abstract: Understanding the characteristics and variability of renewable energy is essential for reliable integration planning and sustainable development. This study examines the spatiotemporal variability and complementarity of wind and solar resources across China, and evaluates their response to future climate change scenarios (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5) using high-resolution MERRA-2 […]

Title: Carbon Flux Estimation for Potato Production: A Literature-Based Study Journal: Atmosphere DOI: https://doi.org/10.3390/atmos16070764 Abstract: This study reviews and synthesizes published data to estimate the net carbon flux associated with the complete potato production process. It identifies the key components that contribute to this flux and explores potential mitigation strategies, including both cultivation and post-harvest storage. Data were compiled from field-scale studies (primarily using eddy covariance) and life cycle assessment studies. The results indicate […]

Title: Lobster Yield Dynamics in a Warming Ocean: A Generalized Linear Modeling Case Study in Prince Edward Island, Canada Journal: Foods DOI: https://doi.org/10.3390/foods14122072 Abstract: The lobster fishery is the third largest industry in Prince Edward Island (PEI), Atlantic Canada. Rising water temperatures due to global warming are impacting the successful completion of the lobster life cycle, which is heavily dependent on water temperature. This study investigated the relationship between lobster landings and sea surface […]
