[REPORT SUMMARY] Working paper, model comparison Part 1: Model characteristics. Information about the models used by TranSust partners, TranSust Working Paper, 2004
This working paper deals with a comprehensive overview on the state of modelling sustainable economic structures, including both a comparison of the theoretic frameworks and an analysis of the policy relevance by:
- Presenting and comparing the basic theoretical model designs...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Working paper, model Comparison Part 3: Model structures. Input for crosscutting papers. TranSust Working Paper, 2004
The project focused on three issues, which were identified as key elements for improving the capabilities of current models to deal with the concept of sustainability:
- Modelling the type and causes for technological change.
The transition to sustainable economic structures r...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Cross-cutting paper, stock and flows: Interaction and substitution (Stefan Schleicher)
Despite the well-known definition of sustainability in the Brundtland Report (WVED, 1987) it is still controversial how this quality of an economy could be put into a coherent frame-work of economic analysis.
We attempt, therefore, a rather pragmatic approach, by making the ...

[REPORT SUMMARY] D3.3 Diagnosis of the causes of the European land carbon sink in the context of the Kyoto Protocol
CAMELS uses a novel approach, termed Carbon Cycle Data Assimilation System (CCDAS) that combines both views and adds a few additional elements. An additional innovation is that CAMELS produces consistent uncertainty bounds on carbon fluxes that are essential for policy purpose...

[REPORT SUMMARY] A 23,000-year record of surface water pH and pCO2 in the western equatorial Pacific Ocean
The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere plays a major role in defining the Earth's climate, and studies have shown that atmospheric CO2 levels were lower in glacial times than in inter-glacial periods. Since we also know that the oceans play a key role in c...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Reciprocal sowing
The objective of this study was to investigate whether plants of the monocarpic perennial composites Tragopogon pratensis and Carlina vulgaris show local adaptations at a small scale within populations. The two species differ in their dispersability: Dispersal of the seeds of ...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Innovative method and software for retrieval of Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) from interferometric SAR data using Delta K processing technique
Snow water equivalent (SWE) is the key snow parameter of interest for hydropower production, flood management and climate studies. So far, there are no operational SWE-methods. Norut IT has developed an innovative delta-K interferometric SAR method for retrieval of SWE. It has...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Development & integration of ocean carbonate chemistry proxies to better understand the interrelationship between global carbon cycle &climate change
Among the most important challenges remaining to be addressed by Quaternary paleoceanographers is the mechanism responsible for lowering pCO2 during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and possible feedback mechanisms with climate change (e.g. Sigman and Boyle, 2000). During 6C we ...
