River ecosystems are highly sensitive to cli-mate change and projected future increase in air tempera-ture is expected to increase the stress for these ecosystems. Rivers are also an important socio-economic factor impact- ing, amongst others, agriculture, ...
Mountain ecosystems are particularly threatened by ongoing climate change and the species composition of high elevation grasslands is already changing. An open research question is how these ecosystems will adapt to changes in their key environmental const ...
The concerns for climate change and the transition to renewables is increasing the relevance of superconducting applications: High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) cables for efficient power transmission, superconducting magnets for nuclear fusion, superco ...
The urban heat island effect (UHI) has been widely observed globally, causing climate, health, and energy impacts in cities. The UHI intensities have been found to largely depend on background climate and the properties of the urban fabric. Yet, a complete ...
Human water use, climate change and land conversion have created a water crisis for billions of individuals and many ecosystems worldwide. Global water stocks and fluxes are estimated empirically and with computer models, but this information is conveyed t ...
Le renchérissement actuel du prix des énergies peut être perçu comme une bonne nouvelle pour le changement climatique en permettant de réduire nos consommations d'énergie et ainsi nos émissions de CO[2]. Cette étude utilise le modèle GEMINI-E3 pour analyse ...
