Long-term Climate Change Research Facility for Trees: CO2-Enriched Open Top Chamber System

The challenge of long-term climate change.

Climate policy needs to address the multidecadal to centennial time scale of climate change. Although the realization of short-term targets is an important first step, to be effective climate policies need to be conceived as long-term programs that will achieve a gradual transition to an essentially emission-free economy on the time scale of a century. This requires a considerably broader spect...

Long-term economic modeling for climate change assessment

Change combines cutting-edge scientific research with independent policy analysis to provide a solid foundation for the public and private decisions needed to mitigate and adapt to unavoidable global environmental changes. Being data-driven, the Joint Program uses extensive Earth system and economic data and models to produce quantitative analysis and predictions of the risks of climate change ...

Climate Change Climate Change Policies : Recent Developments and Long Term Issues

Climate change. Parallel pursuit of near-term and long-term climate mitigation.

www.sciencemag.org SCIENCE VOL 326 23 OCTOBER 2009 493 COVER A three-color mosaic derived from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M) near-infrared spectrometer. Orange and pink colors illustrate the distribution of iron-bearing minerals. Green represents the surface brightness at 2.4 micrometers. Blue indicates the presence of small amounts of surficial OH and H 2 O that are most prominent at these vi...

Top ten list of long-term care facility preparations for the upcoming influenza season.

A novel influenza A partly of virus of swine origin (2009 H1N1) emerged this spring, resulting in an influenza pandemic. This pandemic is anticipated to continue into the next influenza season. Given that the 2009 H1N1 and seasonal influenza A appear to be somewhat different in the human populations affected and that two influenza vaccines will be recommended this fall, those who manage long-te...
