Integrated non-CO2 Greenhouse gas Observing System (INGOS)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
InGOS will support and integrate the observing capacity of Europe for non-CO2 greenhouse gases (NCGHG: CH4, N2O, SF6, H2 and halocarbons). The emissions of these gases are very uncertain and it is unknown how future climate change will feedback into the land use coupled emissions of CH4 and N2O. The NCGHG atmospheric abundances will increase further in the future and the emissions of these gases a ...

Forest fires under climate, social and economic changes in Europe, the Mediterranean and other fire-affected areas of the world (FUME)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,
Fire regimes result from interactions between climate, land-use and land-cover (LULC), and socioeconomic factors, among other. These changed during the last decades, particularly around the Mediterranean. Our understanding of how they affected fire regime in the past is limited. During this century temperatures, drought and heat waves will very likely increase, and rainfall decrease. These and fur ...
