What will it take to make aviation climate neutral?
Although currently left out of international climate agreements, the aviation sector - if left unmitigated - could jeopardize achieving the Paris agreement. We explored what climate neutrality means for the aviation sector and assessed the magnitude of the necessary efforts.
Distribution matters: Socioeconomic data distribution impacts future water scarcity
A global-scale study estimating the economically challenged and water-scarce population for the future showed the association of significant uncertainty due to the assumption of population distribution at the subgrid-scale, even though the future path taken by the society remains the same.
A century of column ozone monitoring: Uncovering the recovery
A new, long column ozone series helps better separating chemical and dynamical influences on the ozone layer. This shows that the recovery of the ozone layer, though not seen in mid-latitude observations, is underway but masked by changes in atmospheric dynamics.
