In the context of global climate change mitigation, carbon storage in woody vegetation plays a crucial role. Recognising the value of the i‐Tree Eco model for carbon storage in urban and forestry settings, this study aimed to explore its applicability to rewilded landscapes. Using direct measurements from destructively sampled scrub from th...
Accurate carbon data is crucial for informed decision-making to achieve net-zero targets within the next several decades. However, data collection in the infrastructure sector faces significant challenges. Carbon data is either manually collected or extracted from design models, and carbon factors often come from secondary databases with varying bo...
Carbon credits purchased in the voluntary carbon market allow unavoidable emissions, such as international flights for essential travel, to be offset by an equivalent climate benefit, such as avoiding emissions from tropical deforestation. However, many concerns regarding the credibility of these offsetting claims have been raised. Moreover, the cr...
Halide perovskite photovoltaics (PVs) are poised to become a critical high-efficiency renewable energy technology in the fight against climate change. This perspective aims to ensure the viability of perovskite PV as a sustainable technology by focusing on key areas such as end-of-life management and sustainability analysis. It highlights the curre...
Abstract. Conventional methods of inorganic impurity analysis do not provide high enough depth resolution for many scientific questions in ice core science. In this study, we present a setup of laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) for high-resolution glacier ice impurity analysis to the sub-millimetre scale. This ...
Decarbonizing heavy-duty vehicles is becoming increasingly important, yet multiple renewable-based decarbonization pathways have not been compared systematically. To fill this gap, this study develops a techno-economic and environmental model that integrates the fuel cycle and vehicle cycle to assess these pathways for China. The model includes two...
Climate change is one of the key foci of critical geopolitics in the 21st century, with a proliferation of scholarship considering the conferences, imaginaries, and securitisations of the climate crisis. This article calls for a greater focus on the relationship between bodies and diplomacy within human geography scholarship focusing on the critica...
The high northern latitudes offer an ideal environment to analyze tree growth responses to unprecedented recent warming. In this study, for the first time, we explore the dendroclimatological potential of latewood blue intensity (LWBI) and delta blue intensity (DBI) at two Siberian larch (Larix sibirica Ledeb.) sites in the upper treeline ecotone o...
The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been at the forefront of climate science and policy for more than 35 years. Many commentators hold up the IPCC as a model for how global knowledge should be assessed, communicated and employed in complex, transnational, public policy challenges. In this essay, I lay out some reasons why...
