Bacterial isoprene metabolism: a missing link in a key global biogeochemical cycle (IsoMet)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2016, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2021,

Isoprene is a very important climate-active biogenic volatile organic compound with both global warming and cooling effects. Globally, terrestrial plants emit huge amounts (~500-750 million tonnes) of isoprene per year. This is approximately the same quantity as methane released to the amosphere. Isoprene emissions are predicted to rise due to global warming and increased use of isoprene-emitting ...

Oxygen flux measurements as a new tracer for the carbon and nitrogen cycles in terrestrial ecosystems (OXYFLUX)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2016, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2021,

Atmospheric oxygen (O2) measurements have proven to be one of the most powerful tools to study the carbon cycle at global scale, quantifying the carbon dioxide (CO2) sink of terrestrial ecosystems and oceans. At ecosystem level, O2 is closely related to CO2 through photosynthesis and respiration, and is influenced by sources of nitrogen during plant uptake. O2 thus carries valuable information abo...

EXploring Chemistry, Composition and Circulation in the stratosphere with InnovativeTEchnologies (EXC3ITE)

Date du début: 1 avr. 2016, Date de fin: 31 mars 2021,

It is ozone that primarily heats and therefore creates the stratosphere. Human emissions of ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) have however led to dramatic stratospheric ozone losses for decades. This global problem is ongoing and of renewed concern due to recent unexpected changes. It is also likely affecting the nature of the stratosphere itself, with implications for global health and economy. I...

Reconstructing normative economics on a foundation of mutual advantage (NormativeEconomics)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2016, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2020,

Economics has traditionally assumed that individuals seek to satisfy coherent and asocial preferences, and has used the satisfaction of those preferences as a normative criterion. This ‘neoclassical’ approach has supported a view of the market as an institution in which privately-motivated individual actions tend to produce socially beneficial consequences. These ideas have been called into questi...
