Thank The Guardian for reporting our recent paper @ScienceAdvances on ocean greenness decline using multi-source data and an AI model. theguardian.com/environment/20… @MichaelEMann @NASAOcean @theAGU

Glad to share that our study on monitoring global river water levels using the Sentinel-3 satellites has just been published at Nature Communications: nature.com/articles/s4146…

获奖感言 1957年，李政道和杨振宁获得诺贝尔物理学奖，获奖后两位获奖者携夫人发表获奖感言。 后来两人因排名发生了激烈的矛盾。 吴氏实验室负责人，女物理学家吴健雄先生也参与了研究，未能获奖。

"World’s oceans losing their greenness through global heating, study finds" | Great piece by @JonathanWatts for The @Guardian on our (Hong, @DiLong5 et al) new article in @ScienceAdvances: theguardian.com/environment/20…

A new study finds the ocean’s “greenness” is in decline—and the increasing loss of phytoplankton will alter the marine carbon cycle. scim.ag/4odTGDy

C.N. Yang has passed, age 103. Yang was awarded the Nobel prize at 35, for parity violation (shared with T.D. Lee). But his greatest contribution was probably Yang-Mills theory, now referred to as gauge theory. When I was a student the former designation was as common as the latter. Freeman Dyson called Yang "the pre-eminent stylist of 20th-century physics". "Dr. Yang's sense of mathematical beauty turns his least important calculations into miniature works of art, and turns his deeper speculations into masterpieces." Dyson believed only Albert Einstein and Paul Dirac exceeded Yang as stylists in physics.

Ocean phytoplankton nurtures ecosystems and keeps the climate livable, but new research suggests that the biological carbon pump is breaking down due to global warming. insideclimatenews.org/news/17102025/…

Unprecedented groundwater recovery (~0.7 m/yr) driven by water diversions, strict pumping regulations, and a wet climate occurred in the North China Plain after decades of depletion, showing large-scale recovery is possible under human intervention. nature.com/articles/s4146…

New method uncovers the overlooked importance of seasonality in shaping the surface area of lakes youtube.com/watch?v=ZuZd9p…

Our study "Global dominance of seasonality in shaping lake-surface-extent dynamics" is now published in @Nature. We reveal how seasonal rhythms govern the dynamics of ~1.4 million lakes globally. 🔗 nature.com/articles/s4158… #ClimateChange #RemoteSensing #Hydrology #LakeDynamic

Recently I had the privilege of revisiting the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) after 19 years since my days as a junior student. The evolving climate is altering reservoir functions. In the extreme 2022 drought in the Yangtze, TGR struggled to impound water #ClimateChange #Hydrology

Our study delves into deriving weekly reservoir water storage through a unique blend of optical and SAR imagery along with satellite altimetry, revealing Lancang River played a pivotal role in alleviating the severe 2019-2020 drought of Mekong River. 🌊🛰️sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Mesmerized by the beauty of meandering rivers in the vast grasslands of Inner Mongolia! Nature's artistry at its finest 🌾🏞️

The "Rivers and Lakes" collection published by Nature Communications (nature.com/collections/dg…). I'm delighted to share that our paper on the eight-century reconstruction of streamflow in the Tibetan Plateau using tree ring data has been included in this collection.

Final program of the upcoming Gordon Conference on Catchment Science 2023. There will be lots of fantastic events. Welcome to attend it. grc.org/catchment-scie…

See some of the fantastic talks lined up for GRS/GRC this year. As an early career researcher, you have two more days (!) to apply for an oral presentation yourself grc.org/catchment-scie… @nativehydro @LiReactiveWater @shanagland @keiyoshi08

Glad to share we developed a Soil Moisture to Runoff (SM2R) model for estimating monthly streamflow for ungauged basins using soil moisture dynamics from reanalysis data without invoking gauging station data. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…
