Marine cloud brightening – as effective without clouds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017) -
Market and Non-market Policies for Renewable Energy Diffusion: A Unifying Framework and Empirical Evidence from China’s Wind Power Sector
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)We provide a comprehensive framework of analyzing the diffusion process of renewable technology, incorporating epidemic and pecuniary effects. Relying on a panel dataset consisting of information from 1207 CDM wind projects ... -
Market and policy risk under different renewable electricity support schemes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Worldwide, renewable electricity projects are granted production support to ensure competitiveness. Depending on the design of these support schemes, the cash inflows to investment projects will be more or less exposed to ... -
Mean-curvature watersheds: A simple method for segmentation of a digital elevation model into terrain units
(Journal article, 2012)Terrain segmentation is the process of subdividing a continuous terrain surface into discrete terrain units. If the resulting units represent meaningful geomorphic objects the approach may facilitate studies of not only ... -
Measuring a fair and ambitious climate agreement using cumulative emissions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Policy makers have called for a 'fair and ambitious' global climate agreement. Scientific constraints, such as the allowable carbon emissions to avoid exceeding a 2 °C global warming limit with 66% probability, can help ... -
Measuring precipitation in Eastern Himalaya: Ground validation of eleven satellite, model and gauge interpolated gridded products
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Precipitation plays a key role in shaping land surface processes in Himalaya. It is also the most challenging meteorological variable to model in climate change studies due to inadequate ground data. Gridded Precipitation ... -
Metagoverning through intermediaries: the role of the Norwegian “Klimasats” Fund in translating national climate goals to local implementation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)There is little knowledge of how policymakers manage governance networks (“metagovern”) within climate policy and especially at non-executive levels of public management. One strategy to metagovern is through using ... -
Methane and the Paris Agreement temperature goals
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Meeting the Paris Agreement temperature goal necessitates limiting methane (CH4)-induced warming, in addition to achieving net-zero or (net-negative) carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. In our model, for the median 1.5°C ... -
Methane's Solar Radiative Forcing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Methane (CH4) has significant absorption bands at wavelengths of 1.7, 2.3, 3.3 and 7.6 μm which absorb incoming solar ‘shortwave’ (SW) radiation and contribute to radiative forcing (RF). A comprehensive quantification of ... -
Metodikk for framstilling av klimaeffekt på kort og lang sikt
(CICERO Report, Research report, 2021)CICERO Senter for klimaforskning har på oppdrag fra Miljødirektoratet utviklet og illustrert metodikk for framstilling av klimaeffekt på kort og lang sikt. Vi har vurdert klimaeffekt på to forskjellige måter, med vektfaktorer ... -
Metrics for linking emissions of gases and aerosols to global precipitation changes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Recent advances in understanding have made it possible to relate global precipitation changes directly to emissions of particular gases and aerosols that influence climate. Using these advances, new indices are developed ... -
Mobility in Blue-Green Spaces Does Not Predict COVID-19 Transmission: A Global Analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Mobility restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic ostensibly prevented the public from transmitting the disease in public places, but they also hampered outdoor recreation, despite the importance of blue-green spaces ... -
Model evaluation of short-lived climate forcers for the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme: a multi-species, multi-model study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)While carbon dioxide is the main cause for global warming, modeling short-lived climate forcers (SLCFs) such as methane, ozone, and particles in the Arctic allows us to simulate near-term climate and health impacts for a ... -
Model Validity and Transferability Informing Behavioral Energy Policies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)A number of microeconomic choice models are currently applied to demonstrate systematic biases in energy consumer behavior. The models highlight the hidden potential of energy savings from policies that target the so-called ... -
Modeling Global Carbon Costs of Plant Nitrogen and Phosphorus Acquisition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Most Earth system models (ESMs) do not explicitly represent the carbon (C) costs of plant nutrient acquisition, which leads to uncertainty in predictions of the current and future constraints to the land C sink. We integrate ... -
Modeling the Joint Effects of Vegetation Characteristics and Soil Properties on Ecosystem Dynamics in a Panama Tropical Forest
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)In tropical forests, both vegetation characteristics and soil properties are important not only for controlling energy, water, and gas exchanges directly but also determining the competition among species, successional ... -
Modification of heat-related effects on mortality by air pollution concentration, at small-area level, in the Attica prefecture, Greece
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The independent effects of short-term exposure to increased air temperature and air pollution on mortality are well-documented. There is some evidence indicating that elevated concentrations of air pollutants may lead to ... -
Modifying emissions scenario projections to account for the effects of COVID-19: Protocol for CovidMIP
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Lockdowns to avoid the spread of COVID-19 have created an unprecedented reduction in human emissions. While the country-level scale of emissions changes can be estimated in near real time, the more detailed, gridded emissions ... -
Mortality Attributable to Ambient Air Pollution: A Review of Global Estimates
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Since the publication of the first epidemiological study to establish the connection between long-term exposure to atmospheric pollution and effects on human health, major efforts have been dedicated to estimate the ... -
Moving small crafts and services enterprises towards green mobility practices: The role of change agents
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The uptake of electric vans in professional enterprises has been slow, and the interest in electric mobility is low compared to that of private consumers. To understand critical barriers, resistance, motivations and drivers ...
