Thrilled to see our recent paper led by my student Cathy @CathyXinchangLi has been featured as the Cover of the @NatureClimate's October issue! My deepest gratitude to all our coauthors! @CEEatIllinois @NewsAtIllinois @uofigrainger @sustainILLINOIS @NCSAatIllinois @NCAR_CGD.
Our October issue is online cover: @CathyXinchangLi et al use a model framework to understand heating and cooling energy demands. They find including 2-way biophysical feedbacks doubles (halves) energy demand for cooling (heating) under high emissions

Couldn’t be prouder of my student @CathyXinchangLi! Your dedication, tireless effort, and perseverance are deeply admired and highly appreciated! Huge congratulations on the great work! Check out our new paper in @NatureClimate:
Beyond excited to finally have the paper from my first PhD project published in @NatureClimate! 🎊. We show that existing global energy projections underestimate climate change impacts as urban climate-energy feedbacks are not captured. [1/5]

We use a simple mathematical decomposition coupled with climate simulations to reveal the large humidity effects on urban humid heat exposure as well as a critical cooling dilemma between efficacy-limited and water-limited regimes of urban greenery-based heat adaptation.
