Geomechanical modelling of CO₂ injection in deep aquifers

CO2 sequestration in deep geological formations is considered as a promising technology to reduce the impact of CO2 on the greenhouse effect. Practically, large-volume of CO2 could be injected into a system that consists of a highly porous host reservoir c ...

Spatial estimates of snow water equivalent from reconstruction

Annelen Kahl

Operational ground-based measurements of snow water equivalent (SWE) do not adequately explain spatial variability in mountainous terrain. To address this problem, we combine satellite-based retrievals of fractional snow cover for the period 2000 to 2011 w ...

A unique coral biomineralization pattern has resisted 40 million years of major ocean chemistry change

Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Isabelle Domart-Coulon

Today coral reefs are threatened by changes to seawater conditions associated with rapid anthropogenic global climate change. Yet, since the Cenozoic, these organisms have experienced major fluctuations in atmospheric CO2 levels (from greenhouse conditions ...

Building Interfaces That Work: A Multi-stakeholder Approach to Air Pollution and Climate Change Mitigation

Julia Schmale

Air pollution and climate change are two major environmental problems. These issues are not only inextricably linked with regard to their effects and mitigation options but also through their causes that include human behavior, infrastructures, technology, ...

Peatland vascular plant functional types affect methane dynamics by altering microbial community structure

Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Robert Thomas Edmund Mills

Peatlands are natural sources of atmospheric methane (CH4), an important greenhouse gas. It is established that peatland methane dynamics are controlled by both biotic and abiotic conditions, yet the interactive effect of these drivers is less studied and ...

Worldwide impacts of climate change on energy for heating and cooling

Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Santosh Ram Joshi

The energy sector is not only a major contributor to greenhouse gases, it is also vulnerable to climate change and will have to adapt to future climate conditions. The objective of this study is to analyze the impacts of changes in future temperatures on t ...

How green are British cities? Scaling relations and CO2 emissions

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni

How green or environmentally friendly urban areas are in comparison with rural areas is a topic that has received much attention in recent years. This is understandable because urban areas already emit around 70% of the global greenhouse gases. This percen ...

Heat flux modifications related to climate-induced warming of large European lakes

Alfred Johny Wüest, Martin Schmid

Within the last decades, the water temperature of several European lakes has risen. It is assumed that these temperature increases are due to a reconfiguration of the heat-balance components. This study explores the dominant modifications of heat exchange ...

The SUBGLACIOR drilling probe: Concept and design

Jérôme Chappellaz

Analyses of air extracted from polar ice cores are the most straightforward method of reconstructing the atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases and their variations for past climatic epochs. These measurements show that the concentration of the thr ...

Hydromechanical coupling in CO2 geological injection processes

Lyesse Laloui, Chao Li

CO2 storage in deep aquifers is considered as a potential technology to reduce the greenhouse effects of CO2. Practically, a large-volume (>1 Mt/year) of CO2 could be injected into a system that consists of a highly porous host aquifer covered by a low-per ...
