Die Abbauzeit (Lebensdauer) des CO2 ist die Zeit , in der die Konzentration auf ein 1/e (0,3679) des Ausgangswerts gesunken ist. Sie wird berechnet als Quotient des zum Gleichgewicht von 280 ppm hinzugefügten CO2 durch die Größe des Abbaus. 1959 waren das 34 ppm : 0,64 ppm = 55 Jahre. 2019 sind das 130 ppm : 2,6 ppm =50 Jahre. Die Umrechnung in einen Abbau von 50 % (Halbwertszeit) gelingt durch Multiplikation dieser Abbauzeiten mit ln2 = 0,6931. Das sind dann 1959 38 Jahre und 2019 34,7 Jahre. 5.

  • Policy Documents As Sources for Measuring Societal Impact
    Accepted for publication in Scientometrics Policy documents as sources for measuring societal impact: How often is climate change research mentioned in policy-related documents? Lutz Bornmann*, Robin Haunschild**, and Werner Marx** *Division for Science and Innovation Studies Administrative Headquarters of the Max Planck Society Hofgartenstr. 8, 80539 Munich, Germany. E-mail: [email protected] **Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research Heisenbergstr. 1, 70569 Stuttgart, Germany. Abstract In the current UK Research Excellence Framework (REF) and the Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) societal impact measurements are inherent parts of the national evaluation systems. In this study, we deal with a relatively new form of societal impact measurements. Recently, Altmetric – a start-up providing publication level metrics – started to make data for publications available which have been mentioned in policy documents. We regard this data source as an interesting possibility to specifically measure the (societal) impact of research. Using a comprehensive dataset with publications on climate change as an example, we study the usefulness of the new data source for impact measurement. Only 1.2% (n=2,341) out of 191,276 publications on climate change in the dataset have at least one policy mention. We further reveal that papers published in Nature and Science as well as from the areas “Earth and related environmental sciences” and “Social and economic geography” are especially relevant in the policy context. Given the low coverage of the climate change literature in policy documents, this study can be only a first attempt to study this new source of altmetric data. Further empirical studies are necessary in upcoming years, because mentions in policy documents are of special interest in the use of altmetric data for measuring target-oriented the broader impact of research.

Chapter 7.3 Climate change and freshwater fisheries Chris Harrod Instituto de Ciencias Naturales Alexander Von Humboldt, Universidad de Antofagasta, Antofagasta, Chile Abstract: Climate change is among the most serious environmental challenge facing humanity and the ecosystems that provide the goods and services on which it relies. Climate change has had a major historical influence on global biodiversity and will continue to impact the structure and function of natural ecosystems, including the provision of natural services such as fisheries. Freshwater fishery professionals (e.g. fishery managers, fish biologists, fishery scientists and fishers) need to be informed regarding the likely impacts of climate change. Written for such an audience, this chapter reviews the drivers of climatic change and the means by which its impacts are predicted.
