Climate Change and Policy
The Calculability of Climate Change and the Challenge of Uncertainty
Language: English
Release Date: March 30, 2011
The debate on how mankind should respond to climate change is diverse, as the appropriate strategy depends on global as well as local circumstances.
As scientists are denied the possibility of conducting experiments with the real climate, only climate models can give insights into man-induced...
Ocean Biogeochemistry
The Role of the Ocean Carbon Cycle in Global Change
Language: English
Release Date: December 6, 2012
Oceans account for 50% of the anthropogenic CO2 released into the atmosphere. During the past 15 years an international programme, the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), has been studying the ocean carbon cycle to quantify and model the biological and physical processes whereby CO2 is pumped from...
Remote Sensing Advances for Earth System Science
The ESA Changing Earth Science Network: Projects 2009-2011
Language: English
Release Date: January 8, 2013
To better understand the various processes and interactions that govern the Earth system and to determine whether recent human-induced changes could ultimately de-stabilise its dynamics, both natural system variability and the consequences of human activities have to be observed and quantified. In...
