# New HCP Publications March 06, 2024 **HCP Publications:** The Harvard-China Project on Energy, Economy and Environment is based at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. It works with colleagues across Harvard and partner institutions in China to [conduct and publish research](https://us15.mailchimp.com/mctx/clicks?url=https://chinaproject.harvard.edu/publications&xid=9494a42724&uid=70350877&iid=b7064ac4c5&pool=cts&v=2&c=1709238846&h=161766126319762fb2e575e61f7065e2f751b268dfe050a90d2df7b82f91853d) on the nexus of climate change, energy systems, economics, air pollution, environmental health, urban planning, transportation, and policy. It focuses on China, Asia more broadly, and the U.S. Below is a list of newly-published papers, with bolded names representing Harvard-China Project affiliated [contributors](/contributors). **[](/publications/large-scale-climate-patterns-offer-pre-seasonal-hints-co-occurrence-heat)Meng Gao**, **Fan Wang**, Yihui Ding, Zhiwei Wu, YangYang Xu, Xiao Lu, Zifa Wang, Gregory R.
