Ecological and Climate Impacts of Greenlandic Glacial Outwash Plains (ECO-Plains)

Devis Tuia, Julia Schmale, Nora Bergner, Ianina Altshuler, Gaston Jean Lenczner, Grace Emma Marsh

Glacial outwash plains are developing fast in the Arctic, a region which warms two to four times faster than the global average. These new landscapes are climate relevant. They can be sources and sinks of greenhouse gas fluxes and they expose large amounts ...

Greening the Swiss National Bank's Portfolio

Rüdiger Fahlenbrach, Eric Jondeau

Central banks are increasingly concerned about climate-related risks and want to ensure that the financial system is resilient to them. As they integrate these risks into financial stability monitoring, they also discuss how to apply environmental criteria ...

Mining Effective Strategies for Climate Change Communication

Matthias Grossglauser, Aswin Suresh, Yurui Zhu, Lazar Milikic

With the goal of understanding effective strategies to communicate about climate change, we build interpretable models to rank tweets related to climate change with respect to the engagement they generate. Our models are based on the Bradley-Terry model of ...

Aerosol source identification in the spring and summertime central Arctic Ocean using high-resolution mass spectrometry during MOSAiC

Ivo Fabio Beck, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte, Imad El Haddad, Jakob Boyd Pernov, Hélène Paule Angot, Lubna Dada

The Arctic region is experiencing considerable changes and is warming at a rate three to four times as fast as the rest of the world. Aerosols, which can be from natural or anthropogenic sources, locally emitted or long-range transported, play a crucial ro ...

Vegetation effects on climate and building energy demand in cities

Jian Wang, Gabriele Manoli, Paolo Burlando

Excessive heat in cities exacerbated by urban heat islands can negatively impact human health, building energy consumption, and urban ecosystems. Increasing urban greenery has often been proposed as an attractive mitigation strategy as vegetation can reduc ...

Evaluation of 30 urban land surface models in the Urban-PLUMBER project: Phase 1 results

Gabriele Manoli, Matthias Roth

Accurately predicting weather and climate in cities is critical for safeguarding human health and strengthening urban resilience. Multimodel evaluations can lead to model improvements; however, there have been no major intercomparisons of urban-focussed la ...
