The models are driven by the IPCC IS92a scenario of rising CO2 (Wigley et al. 1991), and by climate changes resulting from effective CO2 concen- trations corresponding to IS92a, simulated by the coupled ocean atmosphere model HadCM2-SUL. Simulations with changing CO2 alone show a widely distributed ter- restrial carbon sink of 1.4±3.8 Pg C y±1 during the 1990s, rising to 3.7±8.6 Pg C y±1 a cen- tury later.

Recent advances in the representation of soil carbon decomposition (Goll et al., 2015) and carbon-nitrogen interac- tions (Parida, 2011; Goll et al., 2012) implemented previously into separate versions of the land surface scheme JSBACH are here combined in a single version which is set to be used in the upcoming 6th phase of coupled model intercomparison project (CMIP6) (Eyring et al., 2016). 5 Here we demonstrate that the new version of JSBACH is able to reproduce the spatial variability in the reactive nitrogen loss pathways as derived from a compilation of δ15N data (r=.63, RMSE=.26, Taylor score=.81).

  • FY96 NCAR ASR Highlights
    FY96 NCAR ASR Highlights 1996 ASR Highlights Highlights of NCAR's FY96 Achievements These are the most significant highlights from each NCAR division and program. Atmospheric Chemistry Division Highlights data missing Atmospheric Technology Division Highlights AVAPS/GPS Dropsonde System The development of the advanced Airborne Vertical Atmospheric Profiling System (AVAPS)/GPS Dropsonde System was close to completion at the end of FY 96. This work has been supported by NOAA and the Deutsche Forschungsanstalt fuer Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR, Germany). AVAPS has now progressed to the point where all the NOAA data systems (two four-channel systems plus spares for the NOAA G-IV aircraft and two four-channel systems plus spares for the NOAA P-3 aircraft) have been delivered, and the initial flight testing has been completed. Both high-level (45,000-foot-altitude) and low-level (22,000-foot-altitude) drop tests have been completed, including intercomparison tests in which sondes were dropped from both the G-IV and the P-3s. Data taken by the AVAPS system on the G-IV and by a second system installed in a leased Lear 36 aircraft are expected to play a key role in the Fronts and Atlantic Storm Tracks Experiment (FASTEX), scheduled for early 1997. The DLR four-channel AVAPS system is currently being built and will be installed on the DLR Falcon aircraft in March 1997. NCAR has transferred the technology to the public sector by licensing a commercial firm (Vaisala, Inc.) to build future GPS sondes and data systems. This effort is led by Hal Cole and Terry Hock.

  • Climate Change and Challenges for Conservation DR MARIA DICKINSON, PROFESSOR IAIN COLIN PRENTICE and PROFESSOR GEORGINA M
    Grantham Institute Briefing paper No 13 June 2015 In partnership with the Centre for Biodiversity and Environment Research at University College London Climate change and challenges for conservation DR MARIA DICKINSON, PROFESSOR IAIN COLIN PRENTICE AND PROFESSOR GEORGINA M. MACE The headlines • Biodiversity has been significantly depleted by non-climatic factors, such as land-use change. Climate change will exacerbate this loss and compromise ecosystem integrity. • Integrated approaches will be necessary to evaluate species’ responses to climate change, which will be more complex and more uncertain than range shifts alone. • This paper recommends applying new perspectives to traditional conservation practices. A global and flexible approach to biodiversity protection and resource management may be needed for successful conservation policy and planning. Executive summary Contents CHANGES IN BIODIVERSITY SINCE THE 1950s DUE TO HUMAN ACTIVITIES HAVE Executive summary ..................... 1 been more rapid than at any time in human history 1 and according to some, we are currently living “amid a global wave of anthropogenically driven biodiversity Introduction ............................. 2 loss” 2.

  • A Simulation Model for the Transient Effects of Climate Change on Forest Landscapes
    Ecological Modelling, 65 (1993) 51-70 51 Elsevier Science Publishers B.V., Amsterdam A simulation model for the transient effects of climate change on forest landscapes I. Colin Prentice a,l, Martin T. Sykes a,1 and Wolfgang Cramer b a Department of Ecological Botany, Uppsala University, Box 559, S-751 22 Uppsala, Sweden, b Department of Geography, University of Trondheim (AVH), N-7055 Dragvoll, Norway (Received 12 March 1991; accepted 13 March 1992) ABSTRACT Prentice, I.C., Sykes, M.T. and Cramer, W., 1993. A simulation model for the transient effects of climate change on forest landscapes. Ecol. Modelling, 65: 51-70. Forests are likely to show complex transient responses to rapid changes in climate. The model described here simulates the dynamics of forest landscapes in a changing environ- ment with simple phenomenological equations for tree growth processes and local environ- mental feedbacks. Tree establishment and growth rates are modified by species-specific functions describing the effects of winter and summer temperature limitations, accumulated annual foliage net assimilation and sapwood respiration as functions of temperature, CO 2 fertilization, and growing-season drought. These functions provide external conditions for the simulation of patch-scale forest dynamics by a forest succession model, FORSKA, in which all of the trees on each 0.1 ha patch interact by competition for light and nutrients. The landscape is simulated as an array of such patches. The probability of disturbance on a patch is a power function of time since disturbance. Forest structure, composition and biomass simulated for the landscape average in boreal and temperate deciduous forests approach reasonable equilibrium values in 200-400 years.

Using keywords to search this document is a much faster way of discovering what research is being or has recently been done by Fenner academics than checking each academic’s page. The document is intended mainly for: potential Higher Degree Research (MPhil/PhD) students who wish to find a potential supervisor. However, not all academics listed below are able and willing to supervise research students, as an academic may have no spare capacity, be on short-term appointments, or be away from Fenner School on long-term leave. Only contacting the academic directly will find out if they’re in a position to supervise, and if so on what topics; current research students wishing to find additional members for their supervisory panel; any researchers wishing to collaborate with Fenner School academics. As an example, “Murray-Darling” can be found of the pages of seven different academics, each with a different research interest in the Murray-Darling basin.
