The climate change response of alpine-mediterranean heavy precipitation events
The present study analyses the climate change response of Alpine-Mediterranean heavy precipitation events (HPEs), often associated with hazardous flooding. We investigate HPE properties describing their propagation, scale and intensity, by applying a storm tracking algorithm in an ensemble of…The impact of the German timber footprint on potential species loss in supply regions
Previous own assessments have shown that a) Germany has a wood consumption above global average, b) is strongly dependent on imports and c) has a domestic roundwood production that is at the limit of the sustainable harvest potential. Thereby Germany further increases the pressures on global forests…Impact of bias correction on climate change signals over central Europe and the Iberian Peninsula.
Vegetation models for climate adaptation and mitigation strategies require spatially high-resolution climate input data in which the error with respect to observations has been previously corrected. To quantify the impact of bias correction, we examine the effects of quantile-mapping bias correction…Klima- und Nachhaltigkeitsziele lassen sich nur mit einer Begrenzung des Ressourcenverbrauchs erreichen
Klimaschutz ist wichtig, muss aber verbunden werden mit Ressourcenschutz, um das Überleben auf dem Planeten zu sichern. Der Beitrag umreißt, wie die physische Basis von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft insgesamt zukunftsfähig gestaltet werden kann. Als Zielorientierung und Referenz werden konkrete…Identifying key-psychological factors influencing the acceptance of yet emerging technologies–A multi-method-approach to inform climate policy
The best combination of possible climate policy options (mitigation, adaptation and different climate engineering technologies) to tackle climate change is unknown. Climate policy is facing a hard decision in answering the question whether climate engineering technologies should be researched,…
