Sources of uncertainty in regional and global terrestrial CO2 exchange estimates
The Global Carbon Budget 2018 (GCB2018) estimated by the atmospheric CO2 growth rate, fossil fuel emissions, and modeled (bottom-up) land and ocean fluxes cannot be fully...- publication PDF

The remote sensing of radiative forcing by light-absorbing particles (LAPs)...
Light-absorbing particles (LAPs) deposited on snow can decrease snow albedo and affect climate through snow-albedo radiative forcing. In this study, we use MODIS observations...- publication PDF

Model for acid-base chemistry in nanoparticle growth (MABNAG)
Climatic effects of newly-formed atmospheric secondary aerosol particles are to a large extent determined by their condensational growth rates. However, all the vapours...- publication PDF

Cradles of diversity are unlikely relics of regional climate stability
The stability of regional climates on millennial timescales is theorised to be a primary determinant of nearby diversification 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Using simulated patterns of past...- publication PDF
