Evaluating the timing of former glacier expansions in the Tian Shan: A key step towards robust spatial correlations
Abstract The timing of past glaciation across the Tian Shan provides a proxy for past climate change in this critical area. Correlating glacial stages across the region is difficult but cosmogenic exposure ages have considerable potential. A...

Fossil-fueled development (SSP5): An energy and resource intensive scenario for the 21st century
Abstract This paper presents a set of energy and resource intensive scenarios based on the concept of Shared Socio-Economic Pathways (SSPs). The scenario family is characterized by rapid and fossil-fueled development with high socio-economic...

Climate change impacts and greenhouse gas mitigation effects on U.S. hydropower generation
Abstract Climate change will have potentially significant effects on hydropower generation due to changes in the magnitude and seasonality of river runoff and increases in reservoir evaporation. These physical impacts will in turn have economic...

Road salt emissions: A comparison of measurements and modelling using the NORTRIP road dust emission model
Abstract De-icing of road surfaces is necessary in many countries during winter to improve vehicle traction. Large amounts of salt, most often sodium chloride, are applied every year. Most of this salt is removed through drainage or traffic spray...

The influence of soluble organic matter on shale reservoir characterization
Abstract Shale with a maturity within the “oil window” contains a certain amount of residual soluble organic matter (SOM). This SOM have an important influence on characterization of shale reservoir. In this study, two shale samples were collected...

Micro-phytoplankton community structure in the coastal upwelling zone off Concepción (central Chile): Annual and inter-annual fluctuations in a highly dynamic environment
Abstract An intensification of upwelling-favorable winds in recent decades has been detected in some of the main eastern boundary current systems, especially at higher latitudes, but the response of coastal phytoplankton communities in the Humboldt...
