A global-scale framework for hydropower development incorporating strict environmental constraints
The benefits of develo** the world’s hydropower potential are intensely debated when considering the need to avoid or minimize environmental impacts. However, estimates of global unused profitable hydropower...

Open AccessContrasting impacts of forests on cloud cover based on satellite observations
Forests play a pivotal role in regulating climate and sustaining the hydrological cycle. The biophysical impacts of forests on clouds, however, remain unclear. Here, we use satellite data to show that forests ...

Open AccessNon-deforestation drivers of fires are increasingly important sources of aerosol and carbon dioxide emissions across Amazonia
Deforestation rates have declined substantially across the Brazilian Legal Amazon (BLA) over the period from 2000–2017. However, reductions in fire, aerosol and carbon dioxide have been far less significant th...

Black-carbon absorption enhancement in the atmosphere determined by particle mixing state
Atmospheric black carbon makes an important but poorly quantified contribution to the warming of the global atmosphere. Laboratory and modelling studies have shown that the addition of non-black-carbon materia...
