WRITING & POLICY · 05
Writing helps me connect experimental data, field observations, and public decisions. I focus on environmental chemistry, agricultural practice, energy transitions, and how we value long-term environmental change.
ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY · RESEARCH PAPER · 15 PAGES
Comparing how four zinc treatments affect wheat survival, metal availability, uptake, and root-to-shoot transport in contaminated soil.
My role: Experimental design, measurements, analysis, and paper writing
ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICS · JOHN LOCKE ESSAY · 7 PAGES
I challenge GDP growth as a sufficient proxy for future welfare. Drawing on natural capital, ecological thresholds, and uncertainty, I argue that long-term environmental policy should begin with a positive discount rate and gradually move below zero as irreversible ecological loss constrains future welfare.
My role: Daniel Sun · Independent argument, economic analysis, and writing
ENERGY EQUITY · POLICY BRIEF
Using village interviews to study subsidy and maintenance burdens in the clean-heating transition, then proposing differentiated support.
My role: Interviews, three case studies, and policy recommendations
AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY · FIELD SURVEY & POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS · 8 PAGES
Using interviews with five pesticide retailers and one major fertilizer retailer, I estimated application patterns across grain crops and greenhouse vegetables. The survey identified substantial pesticide-reduction potential, especially in greenhouse production, and recommended clearer dosage education, tighter sales oversight, and the phaseout of obsolete chemicals.
My role: Daniel Sun · Field interviews, quantitative estimation, comparative analysis, and policy writing
WRITING PRINCIPLE
Unpublished work is never labeled “published.” Download buttons appear only when original files are available. Project nicknames help readers navigate, while papers retain their real titles. Proposal outcomes are described as “submitted,” “discussed,” or “adopted” only when supporting records confirm them.
A 20-page paper; test conditions and the original file have not yet been provided.
Two proposal themes are complete; records are still needed to confirm whether each was submitted, discussed, or adopted.
The report link will be added when the original file and date are confirmed.
Research notes / work in progress; not presented as a published paper.
