    Abstract : To achieve the climate goals set by the Paris Agreement, the global electricity system is expected to transition towards a low-carbon electricity system. The future low-carbon electricity system is uncertain regarding both generation and demand. READ MORE

  6. 4. Phosphorus speciation in Swedish arable soils with high leaching potential

    Author : Frank Schmieder; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Eutrophication is threatening biodiversity and ecosystem functions in inland water bodies and estuaries world-wide. Phosphorus (P) export from arable land by e.g. leaching is a major contributor to eutrophication, with high P leaching losses from long-term manured mineral soils and cultivated organic soils (Histosols).

  7. 5. Ground based measurements of upper atmospheric CO and H2O using microwave radiometry

    Author : Peter Forkman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mesosphere; carbon monoxide; microwaves; radiometry; remote sensing; water vapour;

    Abstract : Long series of continuous measurements of middle and upper atmospheric constituents are needed to be able to understand the anthropogenic influence on the atmosphere. Phenomena like ozone depletion and the enhanced greenhouse effect are examples where the role of human activities has to be well investigated in order to make the right decisions of necessary changes in our way of life.
