The Consortium for Climate Risk in the Urban Northeast’s (CCRUN), a NOAA CAP/RISA team, invites Corey Lesk, a climate impacts scientist and postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Geography and the Neukom Institute at Dartmouth College, to discuss embedded emissions of broader climate transitions.
The Consortium for Climate Risk in the Urban Northeast’s (CCRUN), a NOAA CAP/RISA team, invites Debra Burton, Co-Founder of Tipping Point North South, to discuss the emerging topic of military emissions.
The Consortium for Climate Risk in the Urban Northeast’s (CCRUN), a NOAA CAP/RISA team, invites Ken Levenson, Executive Director of The Passive House, to discuss their dedication to sustainable building development and reduction of energy use and climate warming emissions in the build environment.
Anthony Leroy Westerling with CNAP, a CAP/RISA team, co-authors publication titled, “Spatial and temporal patterns of wildfire burn severity and biomass burning-induced emissions in California.”
AC4 funded research uses unprecedented field measurements to gather data on real-world vehicular and non-vehicular volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions to characterize emission rates and oxidative aging of various types of organic pollutants and greenhouse gases in the Greater New York City Metropolitan Area.
New research illustrates a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from six North American cities because of a reduction in traffic and economic activities during COVID-19 lockdown.
The pandemic presented a unique opportunity to study the atmosphere’s response to widespread and sudden emission reductions, documented in a new publication in Environmental Research Letters.
A draft report titled “Urban Greenhouse Gas Emissions Observation and Monitoring Best Research Practices” seeks review comments.
While the cause of increased intensity in North Atlantic hurricanes has been under much debate, new research explores human-made emissions as a potential driver.
New research in Geophysical Research Letters and partially funded by CPO’s AC4 program found that the Bakken Formation, an oil and gas field in North Dakota and Montana, is responsible for roughly 2 percent of the globe’s ethane–about 250,000 tons per year.
