Abstract A large proportion of the exoplanets discovered so far are in orbits sufficiently close to their host stars that tidal stresses are sufficiently strong that the spin state of planet will become tide-locked to the star on a time scale short compared to the age of the system. This includes all habitable-zone planets orbiting...
Abstract Many buildings are naturally ventilated, using windows and other openings with external wind conditions and buoyancy forces to provide air supply and extract to a space. When designed well, natural ventilation can provide good indoor air quality and comfort without excessive energy use. However natural ventilation flows are complex and variable, depending on both...
Abstract The impacts of climate change are already evident both in the UK and worldwide, through changes in extreme weather, diminishing snow and ice and rising sea levels. The Paris Agreement in December 2015 marked a turning point in climate negotiations with 195 governments agreeing to take global action to tackle climate change. As a...
This seminar will be of interest to those interested in climate science, scientific assessments, informing policy, big data, applying social sciences and humanities methodologies to climate challenges, and systematic reviews. Abstract There has been much debate about the assessment process of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Yet two of the most fundamental challenges...
Abstract Abstract: Land ecosystems currently moderate global climate change by absorbing over one quarter of the anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) on average every year (Le Quéré et al., 2015). This CO2 land ‘sink’ is modulated by changing environmental conditions, including climate change and variability, atmospheric CO2, and Land Use and Land Cover Changes...
