Understanding the large-scale interactions between vegetation and the climate in assessing how to mitigate and adapt to climate change is a major challenge, both for scientists and for society in general. These analyses are based on the design of complex models that enable the representation of the operation of large terrestrial ecosystems. These models are one of…

Vehicle Particle Pollution Eyed Under a Nano-Microscope
Poor air quality is responsible for the premature death of around 400,000 Europeans every year and road vehicles are considered a major culprit. The sector accounts for 60 percent of particle pollution — tiny airborne particles known as PM — and 64 percent of nitrogen dioxide pollution in urban areas, making the sector critical to…
