The EC-EARTH model

Klaus Wyser, Per Kållberg and Torben Königk provide an overview on the development of a new Earth System Model (ESM), the EC-Earth. In addition to today´s climate models that include the atmosphere, the ocean and the land surfaces, an ESM also includes additional active components, such as vegetation and atmospheric chemistry. The EC-Earth is a strong candidate for the core global model platform of Mistra-SWECIA.

Mistra-SWECIA Science seminar: The effects of different energy sources and technological progress on climate change
Fossil energy and technological progress are two important factors that potentially influence climate change. Today, the main source of energy is fossil energy, and its use generates CO2-emissions with global warming as result. Technological progress can however improve the energy efficiency and potentially lead to the implementation of alternative clean energy sources that may partially or fully...
