Characteristics of warming hiatus of the climate change in Northwest China from 1960 to 2019
Zhe LI, Yongjian DING, Aijiao CHEN, Zhihua ZHANG, and Shiqiang ZHANG
The mean global surface air temperature data indicate that there might be a global warming hiatus during 1998-2012. However, whether it existed around the world is still controversial, and the characteristics of the hiatus in Northwest China remain unclear. Based on the in-situ observation data of air temperature from

Urban heat island studies based on local climate zones: A systematic overview
Sida JIANG, Wenfeng ZHAN, Jun YANG, Zihan LIU, Fan HUANG, Jiameng LAI, Jiufeng LI, Falu HONG, Yuan HUANG, Jike CHEN, and Xuhui LEE
Since 2012, urban heat islands (UHIs) over various cities have been re-investigated under the local climate zones (LCZ) concept. However, a systematic overview of the recent progress in terms of the LCZ-based UHI studies remains lacking. This status quo has considerably restrained the UHI studies across global cities i

Flood risk assessment under the background of urbanization based on landscape ecology
Yu YUAN, Guohua FANG, Chengxuan LU, and Min YAN
This paper used HEC-HMS hydrological model and statistical analysis method to examine the relationship between flood eigenvalues (i.e. flood volume, peak flow) and landscape pattern indexes of different landscapes. And on the basis of the above relationships, this paper constructed a flood ecological risk index to quan
