Earlier observations from satellites and balloons suggest that stratospheric water vapor probably increased between 1980 and 2000, which would have enhanced the decadal rate of surface warming during the 1990s by about 30% compared to estimates ignoring this change, according to the authors. —Solomon et al.
A team of 26 climate scientists from Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States have published the “Copenhagen Diagnosis”, an interim synthesis report on developments in climatechange science from mid-2006 to the present day.
News headlines vie for attention and it is easy for scientists to grab this attention by linking climatechange to the latest extreme weather event or apocalyptic prediction. But in doing so, the public perception of climatechange can be distorted. This has been picked up on the climate sceptics’ websites.
The research, published in Nature Geoscience and led by the University of Bristol and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), puts the rise in part down to the chemicals, known as chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs, being used to make other ozone-friendly alternatives to CFCs.
In a study published in Nature ClimateChange , an international research team reports finding limited evidence that individual or household rebates have increased public support for carbon taxes in Canada and Switzerland.
The project will also be peer reviewed by a group of experts including Rob Cox, Technical Director, IPIECA, UK; Robert Larson, Associate Director, Transportation and Climate Division, US EPA; Bruce Dale, Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science / DOE Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center, University of Michigan; Bliss Baker, (..)
Now, a team of researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institut in Switzerland, with colleagues at Leiden University (Netherlands) and PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency have used Monte Carlo and global sensitivity analysis to quantify parametric uncertainty of the impacts.
Thus, early suggestions that a large-scale forest biofuel industry would be greenhouse-gas neutral or even reduce greenhouse emissions “ are based on erroneous assumptions ,” according to the authors from the Max-Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Germany, Oregon State University, and other universities in Switzerland, Austria and France.
This is a key component of the global climate system, linking the cycling of water with energy and carbon cycles. Climatechange is expected to intensify the hydrological cycle and to alter evapotranspiration, with implications for ecosystem services and feedback to regional and global climate. —Jung et al.
Scientists from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany), University of Colorado Boulder, and Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México performed a “CT Scan” of the atmosphere, moving along latitudes and longitudes, measuring particle concentrations and compositions in the upper troposphere.

University of Washington has designed tiny sensors that mimic the shape and aerodynamic capability of the dandelion’s fuzzy, seed-bearing spores. Mark Stone/University of Washington AI on the Fusion Menu. Texas A&M University. A team of researchers at the. But it’s actually a tokamak fusion reactor.
As the world’s most widely manufactured material, concrete—and especially the cement within it—is also a major contributor to climatechange, accounting for around 6 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. They all follow a universal template that Qoori developed to optimize the construction of the company’s ever-larger centers.
For example, Google-funded experiments performed at the University of British Columbia later led to the discovery of a new way to make deuterated drugs, in which one or more hydrogen atoms is replaced with the heavier hydrogen isotope deuterium. In climate, humankind needs to use the strategy of “playing to win.”
About Aart de Geus Employer: Synopsys Title: CEO Member grade: Fellow Alma mater: École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland Synopsys is now the largest supplier of software that engineers use to design chips, employing about 20,000 people. The company reported US $1.36 billion in revenue in the first quarter of this year.
The IEEE senior member established an innovation lab for budding entrepreneurs at La Trobe University , in Melbourne, Australia, where he is an engineering professor. It goes back to being a refugee in Switzerland, where my brother and I had to learn how to earn money,” Custovic says. He’s now doing so, in a number of ways.
program at the University of Pisa in Italy, the ancient university where Galileo taught. The first narrow-gauge hydrail project is being undertaken in Switzerland. They followed through and introduced the Coradia iLint train in 2016. And there was 3IHC, held in North Carolina, which spurred the creation of a hydrail Ph.D.
The European Union’s Copernicus ClimateChange Service said several factors contribute to the continent’s vulnerability, including the proportion of European land in the Arctic — the fastest-warming region on earth — and changes in atmospheric circulation. “The Cavanaugh said.
“ One Agreement, Two Steps ” Expectations for Copenhagen quickly became complicated after Danish Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen boarded an overnight flight to Singapore to address an impromptu breakfast forum on climatechange at the Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) summit on 15 November. by Jack Rosebro.
Now in its twentieth year, the biennial report is produced by researchers at Yale and Columbia Universities in collaboration with the World Economic Forum. Switzerland leads the world in sustainability, followed by France, Denmark, Malta, and Sweden. 2018 EPI Trends.
Will we have a universal standard for charging? Look, globally, I think best is the global figure, because you mentioned to the climate; if you want really to help the climate, you have to do it on a global scale. What about the road trip my partner and I have in mind for next summer, to Yosemite and back?
