Stratospheric and upper tropospheric processes for better climate predictions (StratoClim)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2018,
StratoClim will produce more reliable projections of climate change and stratospheric ozone by a better understanding and improved representation of key processes in the Upper Troposphere and Stratosphere (UTS). This will be achieved by an integrated approach bridging observations from dedicated field activities, process modelling on all scales, and global modelling with a suite of chemistry clima ...

European Trans-disciplinary Assessment of Climate Engineering (EuTRACE)
Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2014,
Growing concern over the difficulty of efforts to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions has recently led to an intense discussion of “Climate Engineering” (CE) - techniques for global-scale intervention to offset global warming. These have great potentials, but also entail serious risks and uncertainties. CE is rapidly gaining scientific, political, commercial, and public attention, and the firs ...

megaCITY - Zoom for the ENvironment (CITYZEN)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,
"We will determine the air pollution distribution and change in and around hotspots over the last decade from extensive satellite and in-situ observations and we will employ a series of different scale models in order to analyze the impacts of air pollution hot spots on regional and global air quality including potential future changes for various climate scenarios. Focus is on ozone and particula ...

An Exercise to Assess Research Needs and Policy Choices in Areas of Drought (XEROCHORE)
Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2010,
In recent years large parts of Europe suffered from extreme drought, a phenomenon that likely will become more frequent and more severe, as predicted by the climate models. This will lead to significant socio-economic and environmental impacts and associated damages. There is therefore an urgent need to develop a roadmap toward a European Drought Policy, in accordance with the EU-Water Framework D ...
