Extreme precipitation events in eastern Northwest China, which can have considerable socioeconomic and societal impacts, have become increasingly frequent in association with climate change. This study found clear interdecadal variability in summer extreme precipitation over eastern Northwest China during 1961–2022, and investigated related variations in atmospheric circulation and sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies. Resu...

Storm waves and rising sea levels pose significant threats to low-lying coastal areas, particularly sandy beaches, which are especially vulnerable. The research on the long-time-scale changes in sandy coasts, especially the identification of tipping points in the shoreline-retreat rate, is limited. Vung Tau beach, characterized by its low terrain and rapid tourism-driven economic growth, was selected as a typical study area to...
