We have together with Chalmers’ communication officers published a press release about Ziqian Zhong‘s latest publication. Read more here:

• Increased temperature difference between day and night can affect all life on earth (English)
• Ökad temperaturskillnad mellan dag och natt kan påverka allt liv på jorden (Swedish)

Original publication: Zhong et al. (2023).

Hans Chen has received the Young Scientists 2023 grant from the Hasselblad Foundation.

“I feel deeply honored to receive this support from the Hasselblad Foundation and to be able to work with the wonderful people at the Hasselblad Foundation,” Hans says. He will use the grant to expand his group’s research on the Arctic climate system and carbon cycle dynamics.

The new website for the Chalmers Climate Dynamics Group (CDG) is now online!

This will become a hub where we share information about our research and related activities.

Cai et al. (2024): Assessing Arctic wetting: Performances of CMIP6 models and projections of future precipitation changes.

Lai et al. (2024): Precipitation variability related to atmospheric circulation patterns over the Tibetan Plateau.

Ziqian Zhong has published a new paper about the reversed trend of diurnal asymmetric warming: Zhong et al. (2023).

Two recently published papers related to the carbon cycle with co-authors from our group:

Wang et al. (2023): Fire carbon emissions over Equatorial Asia reduced by shortened dry seasons.

Zhong et al. (2023): Disentangling the effects of vapor pressure deficit on northern terrestrial vegetation productivity.

The latter study was led by Ziqian Zhong.

We successfully held our first physical NSFC–STINT workshop on “Carbon cycle in the climate-vulnerable regions: modeling and observations” in Nanjing, China on 1–3 August 2023. The workshop gathered more than 40 scholars from around the world including China, Europe, North America, and Australia, and resulted in many fruitful discussions and potential future collaborations.

This workshop was partially supported by STINT.

One on the Warm Arctic–Cold Eurasia pattern (Cai et al., 2023), and the other about estimating PM2.5 and ozone concentrations using machine learning algorithms (Yan et al., 2023).

A first paper describing the TRACE Regional Atmosphere–Carbon Ensemble system, developed by Hans Chen, has been published in JAMES: Chen et al. (2023).

Happy New Year!

Starting in 2023, Hans Chen will be working as an Assistant Professor at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden.

At Chalmers, he will further develop new techniques to estimate greenhouse gas emissions and removals using atmospheric observations, as well as continue his research on climate variability and change with a focus on the polar regions.
