The last 6000 years are of particular interest to the understanding of the Earth System because the boundary conditions of the climate system did not change dramatically (in comparison to larger glacial–interglacial changes), and because abundant, detailed ...
Humans have transformed Europe’s landscapes since the establishment of the first agricultural societies in the mid-Holocene. The most important anthropogenic alteration of the natural environment was the clearing of forests to establish cropland and pastur ...
Gases trapped in polar ice provide our most direct record of the changes in greenhouse gas levels during the past 150,000 years. The best documented trace-gas records are for CO2 and CH4. The measurements corresponding to the industrial period document the ...

The influence of aerosols on cloud properties is an important modulator of the climate system. Traditional Köhler theory predicts the equilibrium concentration of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN); however, it is not known to what extent particles exist in t ...
The 8th International NCCR Climate Summer School was held in collaboration with PAGES and brought together 74 PhD and post-doctoral students from 16 different countries, mainly from Europe but also Japan, Australia, Chile, Russia, Canada and the USA, as we ...
This chapter discusses the work carried out to establish the link between climate and atmospheric composition over the last million years, a period over which archives from different media offer precious information with a high degree of detail and accurac ...
The prospective use of upcoming nanometer CMOS technology nodes (65nm, 45nm, and beyond) in bio-electronic interfaces is raising a number of important issues concerning circuit architectures and design. In particular, the advantages of scaling and higher d ...
Centred on research and development in solar energy applications to the built environment, the international conference CISBAT 2007 once more highlighted a good number of interesting technological innovations. The scientific discoveries and developments pr ...
Orbital forcing of the climate system is clearly shown in the Earths record of glacial–interglacial cycles, but the mechanism underlying this forcing is poorly understood. Traditional Milankovitch theory suggests that these cycles are driven by changes in ...
Atmospheric aerosols play a substantial role in climate change through radiative forcing. Combustion-produced carbonaceous particles are the main light-absorbing aerosols; thus, quantifying their optical properties is essential for determining the magnitud ...
