How future compound drought-heatwave events would affect our society and ecosystem?
By combining hydrology, vegetation remote sensing and atmospheric dynamics, we attempted to understand the shifts in compound hazards as well as their impacts on our socio-ecosystem.
Developing electrokinetic mining technology for recovering rare earth elements from weathering crusts
Heavy rare earth elements are critical for modern technological applications, but their extraction can have disastrous environmental impacts. Employing electrokinetic mining techniques can increase recovery efficiency while reducing harmful environmental consequences.
Comparing the Toxicity of Conventional Drinking Waters and Municipal Wastewaters Purified as Drinking Water Supplies
While utilities in arid regions are increasingly purifying municipal wastewater as a sustainable water supply, lingering concerns about health risks have hindered implementation. Our recent study indicates that the toxicity of potable reuse waters is equal or lower than conventional drinking waters.
