Taxis and crowd-taxis: sharing as a private activity and public concern
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)he sharing economy has generated interest among economists for its customer focus and potential to enhance competition. However, it has also caused uproar in industries which have felt competitive pressure, for example ... -
Technical note: Emulation of a large-eddy simulator for stratocumulus clouds in a general circulation model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Here we present for the first time a proof of concept for an emulation-based method that uses a large-eddy simulations (LESs) to present sub-grid cloud processes in a general circulation model (GCM). We focus on two key ... -
Temporal–spatial evolution and influencing factors of coordinated development of the population, resources, economy and environment (Pree) system: Evidence from 31 provinces in China
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Facing the increasingly severe friction among the domains of population, resources, economy and environment (PREE) in a system, theoretical guidance for the sustainable development of a PREE system can be obtained by ... -
Ten-year return levels of sub-daily extreme precipitation over Europe
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Information on the frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation is required by public authorities, civil security departments, and engineers for the design of buildings and the dimensioning of water management and ... -
The 'best available science' to inform 1.5°C policy choices
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)An IPCC Special Report on 1.5 °C should focus on resolving fundamental scientific and political uncertainties, not fixate on developing unachievable mitigation pathways. -
The acceptability of efficiency-enhancing environmental taxes, subsidies and regulation: An experimental investigation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)Public opposition to efficiency-enhancing policies is a significant barrier to addressing many environmental challenges. We use a market experiment to explore the acceptability of three types of instruments: Pigouvian taxes ... -
The Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate Model Intercomparison Project (ACCMIP): overview and description of models, simulations and climate diagnostics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)The Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate Model Intercomparison Project (ACCMIP) consists of a series of time slice experiments targeting the long-term changes in atmospheric composition between 1850 and 2100, with the goal ... -
The Australian terrestrial carbon budget
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)This paper reports a study of the full carbon (C-CO2) budget of the Australian continent, focussing on 1990–2011 in the context of estimates over two centuries. The work is a contribution to the RECCAP (REgional Carbon ... -
The Compensation Fund for Climate Impacts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Climate change is very likely to lead to undesirable climate impacts. How to compensate for such negative impacts at the international level has, hitherto, received little attention. This article reviews the most frequently ... -

The development and deployment of low-carbon energy technologies: The role of economic interests and cultural worldviews on public support
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Large-scale deployment of low-carbon energy technologies is crucial to mitigating climate change, and public support is an important barrier to policies and projects that facilitate deployment. This paper provides insights ... -
The effects of energy efficiency improvement in China with global interaction
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)China has pledged to reduce its carbon intensity defined as carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 40–45% by 2020 and by 60–65% by 2030 compared to the 2005 level. To fulfill the pledges, China’s government has made ... -
The Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (GeoMIP6): Simulation design and preliminary results
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)We present a suite of new climate model experiment designs for the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP). This set of experiments, named GeoMIP6 (to be consistent with the Coupled Model Intercomparison ... -

The Hidden Hazard of Household Air Pollution in Rural China
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Air pollution in Chinese cities has become a major topic of public debate and political concern. At the same time, few rural areas are subjected to measurements of ambient air quality, and policy documents and media rarely ... -
The Imperatives of Sustainable Development
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)The United Nations sustainable development goals are under fire. By attempting to cover all that is good and desirable in society, these targets have ended up as vague and meaningless. We suggest a model for sustainable ... -
