[PROJECT] CACH - Reconstructing abrupt Changes in Chemistry and Circulation of the Equatorial Atlantic Ocean: Implications for global Climate and deep-water Habitats
ID: 278705
Start date: 2011-10-01, End date: 2017-09-30
"Ice-core records show that glacials had lower atmospheric pCO2 and cooler temperatures than today and that the last deglaciation was punctuated by large, abrupt millennial-scale climate events. Explaining the mechanism controlling these oscillations remains an outstanding pu...

[PROJECT] HYICE - Optimisation of hydrogen powered internal combustion engines (HYICE)
ID: 506604
Start date: 2004-01-05, End date: 2007-04-04
Hydrogen releases energy through a chemical reaction with oxygen. This can be used for powering vehicles either in a fuel cell delivering electricity output or in an internal combustion engine similar as in present vehicles. Internal combustion engines fed with hydrogen are c...

[PROJECT] NITROEUROPE IP - The nitrogen cycle and its influence on the European greenhouse gas balance
ID: 17841
Start date: 2006-02-01, End date: 2011-04-30
The NitroEurope IP (or NEU for short) addresses the major question: What is the effect of reactive nitrogen (Nr) supply on net greenhouse gas budgets for Europe? The objectives are to:
1) establish robust datasets of N fluxes and net greenhouse-gas exchange (NGE) in relation ...

[PROJECT] AMMA - African monsoon multidisciplinary analysis
ID: 004089
Start date: 2005-01-01, End date: 2009-12-31
The dramatic change in the region of the West African monsoon (WAM) from wet conditions in the 50s and 60s to much drier conditions from the 70s to the 90s represents one of the strongest inter-decadal signals on the planet in the 20th century. Marked inter-annual variations i...
