African biomass burning affects aerosol cycling over the Amazon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Smoke from vegetation fires affects air quality, atmospheric cycling, and the climate in the Amazon rain forest. A major unknown has remained the quantity of long-range transported smoke from Africa in relation to local ... -
African heritage sites threatened as sea-level rise accelerates
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The African coast contains heritage sites of ‘Outstanding Universal Value’ that face increasing risk from anthropogenic climate change. Here, we generated a database of 213 natural and 71 cultural African heritage sites ... -
An agenda for future Social Sciences and Humanities research on energy efficiency: 100 priority research questions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Decades of techno-economic energy policymaking and research have meant evidence from the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH)—including critical reflections on what changing a society’s relation to energy (efficiency) even ... -
Air pollution and child health impacts of decarbonization in 16 global cities: Modelling study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Most research on the air pollution-related health effects of decarbonization has focused on adults. We assess the potential health benefits that could be achieved in children and young people in a global sample of 16 cities ... -
Air pollution impacts on in-hospital case-fatality rate of ischemic stroke patients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background: A growing body of evidence suggests that air pollution exposure is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. Data regarding the impact of long-term air pollution exposure on ischemic stroke ... -
Ambitious efforts on residual emissions can reduce CO<inf>2</inf> removal and lower peak temperatures in a net-zero future
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is expected to play a critical role in reaching net zero CO2 and especially net zero greenhouse gase (GHG) emissions. However, the extent to which the role of CDR in counterbalancing residual ... -
An application of automated mediation to international climate treaty negotiation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)A generic framework for automated mediation of multi-attribute negotiation has recently been reported (Lai and Sycara in Group Decis Negot 18:169–187, 2009). This framework seeks to shorten time to agreement, achieve ... -
An economic evaluation of solar radiation management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015) -
Anthropogenic sulfate aerosol pollution in South and East Asia induces increased summer precipitation over arid Central Asia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Precipitation has increased across the arid Central Asia region over recent decades. However, the underlying mechanisms of this trend are poorly understood. Here, we analyze multi-model simulations from the Precipitation ... -
Arctic air pollution: Challenges and opportunities for the next decade
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016) -
The Arctic has warmed nearly four times faster than the globe since 1979
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In recent decades, the warming in the Arctic has been much faster than in the rest of the world, a phenomenon known as Arctic amplification. Numerous studies report that the Arctic is warming either twice, more than twice, ... -
Arctic tropospheric ozone: assessment of current knowledge and model performance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)As the third most important greenhouse gas (GHG) after carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), tropospheric ozone (O3) is also an air pollutant causing damage to human health and ecosystems. This study brings together ... -
Are Northern Hemisphere boreal forest fires more sensitive to future aerosol mitigation than to greenhouse gas–driven warming?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Considerable interest exists in understanding how climate change affects wildfire activity. Here, we use the Community Earth System Model version 2 to show that future anthropogenic aerosol mitigation yields larger increases ... -
Asian Anthropogenic Aerosol Forcing Played a Key Role in the Multidecadal Increase in Australian Summer Monsoon Rainfall
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Observations show a significant increase in Australian summer monsoon (AUSM) rainfall since the mid-twentieth century. Yet the drivers of this trend, including the role of anthropogenic aerosols, remain uncertain. We ... -
Asking the right questions in adaptation research and practice: Seeing beyond climate impacts in rural Nepal
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Adaptation research and practice too often overlooks the wider social context within which climate change is experienced. Mainstream approaches frame adaptation problems in terms of the consequences that flow from biophysical ... -
Assessing heat effects on respiratory mortality and location characteristics as modifiers of heat effects at a small area scale in Central-Northern Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Heat effects on respiratory mortality are known, mostly from time-series studies of city-wide data. A limited number of studies have been conducted at the national level or covering non-urban areas. Effect modification by ... -
Assessment of short-term heat effects on cardiovascular mortality and vulnerability factors using small area data in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Short-term associations between heat and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality have been examined mostly in large cities. However, different vulnerability and exposure levels may contribute to spatial heterogeneity. This ... -
Assessment of the European Climate Projections as Simulated by the Large EURO-CORDEX Regional and Global Climate Model Ensemble
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This paper analyzes the ensemble of regional climate model (RCM) projections for Europe completed within the EURO-CORDEX project. Projections are available for the two greenhouse gas concentration scenarios RCP2.6 (22 ... -
Assessment of the optimal rebound effects from energy intensity reduction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Energy efficiency improvement is widely recognized as a cost-effective measure for clean production. In literature, the rebound effects of energy efficiency improvement represented by energy intensity reductions, potential ... -
