Heat Extremes on the Rise: Climate Study Finds
Temperature extremes with altered characteristics are one of the most threatening impacts of global warming. However, how their characteristics have changed is uncertain, and varies by region. A research article recently published in Communications Earth & Environment, a journal from Nature Research, provided for the first time a panoramic view of global patterns and trends of Temperature Extreme Events (TEEs) with both heat and cold extremes considered, of heat vs. cold extremes, and of compound TEEs.

Study Reveals Lunar Regolith Evolution Process on Chang'e-4 Landing Area
A research team led by Prof. DI Kaichang from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and collaborators have established an evolution model with simple craters in the Chang'e-4 landing area. The research results reveal the evolution process of lunar regolith and quantifies the overturning and mixing effect of small simple impact events on lunar regolith.
