The Dutch climate policy only covers greenhouse gas emissions in our own country. But is this actually right, wonders Birka Wicke from Utrecht University.
The major source of uncertainty in sea-level rise stems from limited understanding of the melt of the Antarctic ice sheet. Different existing models that quantify ice shelf melt from ocean temperatures are compared.
The Web of Science list of the most highly cited researchers has been published again and this year’s edition features eight researchers from Geosciences.
The acceleration rate of sea-level rise will be an impeccable indicator of sea level threats along the vulnerable coasts over the 21st century. We investigated the main drivers.
