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 ...

DEvelopment of a System of Indicators for a Resource efficient Europe (DESIRE) (DESIRE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

"DESIRE will develop and apply an optimal set of indicators to monitor European progress towards resource-efficiency. We propose a combination of time series of environmentally extended input output data (EE IO) and the DPSIR framework to construct the indicator set. Only this approach will use a single data set that allows for consistent construction of resource efficiency indicators capturing th ...
