Researchers simulate impacts of chemical degradation on atmospheric levoglucosan and its use as a biomass burning tracer

A group of researchers from the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) collaborated to develop the first global simulation of atmospheric levoglucosan, explicitly accounting for its chemical degradation, and evaluated the impact on levoglucosan’s use in quantitative aerosol source apportionment. Their research, entitled “Impacts […]

Reduced springtime rainfall in southern China linked to human activity

Human activities produce large amounts of atmospheric pollutants, which can also have complex impacts on climate. A team of researchers from Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) has found that human activity may have significantly reduced the amount of springtime rainfall over Southern China since the 1980s. On February 29, Professor Tzung-May Fu‘s research […]
