Wei Peng, an energy and human systems modeler, has joined the Princeton and Andlinger Center faculty, effective July 1, 2023.

Nature Climate Change - Climate policy analyses often ignore the possibility of progressive redistribution of carbon tax revenues and assume that mitigation cost will burden the poor in the short...

When it comes to energy use and production, China stands alone. The country consumes more coal, produces more solar panels, installs more solar and wind, and builds more power plants and hydro dams,...

Nature Sustainability - Millions of premature deaths each year can be attributed to ambient particulate air pollution. While exposure to harmful particulates decreases in future scenarios with...

We'll return on October 17, 2024, at 10AM EDT (2PM GMT) for a new Science on the 7th session with our guest Sara Adar to discuss reducing air pollution emissions in school busses. Watch the session.

Wei Peng discusses how existing climate policy models can better account for real-world political challenges.

Controlling carbon release into the atmosphere will reduce carbon dioxide and slow global warming, but could there be unintended consequences for human health? Now, though a three-year, $400,000...

Postdoctoral Scholar Position at Penn State University in Air Quality Modeling for Climate Policy and Social Equity

Sometimes, doing things close to home may be more feasible than doing them on a grand scale, even if they cost a bit more. This may be the case for controlling carbon emissions, according to a team...

Electric vehicles, or EVs, promise to reduce carbon emissions and serve as a tool to help mitigate climate change, but a team of Penn State researchers report there has been little research to...

The Institute for Computational and Data Sciences, in conjunction with several Penn State colleges, awarded more than $725,000 in seed grants to fund 32 new computational and data sciences projects....

Our new report details how to measure this.

Enforcing air pollution controls can prevent premature deaths from air pollution exposure, even in scenarios dominated by continued coal-fired power generation, a study has said. The study quantified...

Global emissions will fall by 2.6 billion metric tons in 2020—the largest fall in history.

Solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity generation is expanding rapidly in China, with total capacity projected to be 400 GW by 2030. However, severe a...

In this observational study, Tao Xue and colleagues explore associations between medical expenses and changes to clean air policies in China since 2013.
