In Remote Sensing
Generally, the characterization of land surface roughness is obtained from the analysis of height variations observed along transects (e.g., root mean square (RMS) height, correlation length, and autocorrelation function). These surface roughness measurements are then used as inputs for surface dynamics modeling, e.g., for soil erosion modeling...
Submission to Policy Process
These country sheets present research findings on national long-term, low-emission pathways along the three Talanoa Dialogue questions: where are we, where do we want to go and how do we get there?

Briefing Note
本稿は、北東アジアの中国、日本における再生可能エネルギー(以下、「再エネ」)に関する政策環境の相違を議論し、今後の展望を概観する。要点は、以下の通りである。 • 最大限に再エネの普及による電力システムの転換は脱炭素社会の構築にとって基本的柱の一つである。過去10年間、日中両国は莫大な投資を行い、再エネの領域で世界的リーダーになってきた。 • 風力と太陽光発電が、中国の電力システムの脱炭素化に不可欠な役割を担っている。日本での再エネの導入は、温室効果ガス(GHG： Greenhouse gas)削減、エネルギー自給率の向上、化石燃料調達費用の削減、産業の国際競争力の強化、雇用の創出、地域の活性化、非常時のエネルギー確保等、多方面のメリットが認識され、進められている。 •...
