Course: Climate and Energy: An Interdisciplinary Perspective

Professor Radu Dudau at the University of Bucharest gives us some tips about using less energy and using energy efficiently.

In this video, Associate Professor Thibaut Devièse discusses the principles of geochronology and its role in studies of the climate and environment of the past.

In this short video, we will meet Todd Ehlers at Södra Sandvik, where he will talk with us about an 800-thousand-year record of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.

Hydrogen is the main “vector” chosen to play the main crucial role on the energy transition due to reasons such as sustainability, free-emissions and high energy density and emerges as …

Plant fossils (mostly pollen, leaves, fruits, and wood) demonstrate that during the Quaternary Period (the past 2.6 million years) a number of tree genera progressively disappeared from Europe, while they …

If predicting weather forecast for next week is complicated, predicting climatic conditions for the next decades is impossible. However, while there is no crystal ball to predict what the future …

The climate crisis affects every aspect of biodiversity, but not every species responds in the same way to climate change. Some species can cope with climate change via adjustments and …

The Conferences of the Parties (COP) is the supreme decision-making body of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Its aim is to frame and negotiate global solutions …

Ocean Acidification is often referred to as the ‘other carbon problem’ and corresponds to the modification of the chemistry of the ocean as a response to the increase in atmospheric …

With a first order approach, the global carbon cycle can be conceptualized using only three large reservoirs: the atmosphere (which receives the anthropic emissions of CO2 resulting from fossil fuel …

A common source of confusion regarding the global biogeochemical carbon cycle and its interpretation is the difference between the notions of present day, natural and anthropogenic cycles. Using a simplified …

In this article, we will review terminology used to describe the carbon cycle. Reservoir: A delimited compartment of the Earth System used as homogeneous global unit to quantify the stocks …

As commented in the video, accurate dating is of fundamental importance to paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental research (1-4). Indeed, without a reliable estimate of the age of these archives, it is …

Thank you for being with us on our virtual journey to Utö. We hope that our course has provided you with a sense of the need for interdisciplinarity when taking …

In this activity, we will face the need to optimize the use of water resources because of the impacts of climate change effects, we will learn about groundwater resources both …
