The atmosphere, oceans, land surfaces, and ice on Earth are all part of a complex network determining our planet's long-term weather patterns. How can we understand and predict the delicate balance of these interconnections to address the challenges of climate change? How does human activity influence this?
Our scientists explore the effects of climate change on ecological processes on Earth, how CO2 impacts our planet, and possible solutions. Some topics of research range from predicting extreme weather conditions due to climate change to in-depth analyses of how the oil and gas industry contributes to global warming. They explain climate research through examples, linking to societal issues and current discussions.
