How much methane is released in the tundra

Infinitely vast, not a tree in sight, and with permanently frozen soil: the tundra is an important carbon reservoir. Yet climate change is now warming the Arctic regions, causing permafrost to thaw. A team led by Leonardo A. Galera asked themselves: in which proportion are greenhouse gases released when permafrost soils...

Tatiana Ilyina joins CLICCS and the MIN Faculty

Welcome to Universität Hamburg! Since August, Tatiana Ilyina has been a Professor of Earth System Sciences, with a focus on modelling the carbon cycle in the Earth system. In addition to her research and teaching activities at Universität Hamburg, Ilyina will be working at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon. In the following...

The carbon fluxes between the ocean and atmosphere in the southern ocean are shown. The globes are sorted observed-based and model ensemble mean as well as into annual and the seasons. Blue represents the carbon uptake and red the carbon outgassing

Carbon Dioxide in the Ocean: Hidden Uncertainties

The Southern Ocean has absorbed ca. 40 percent of the global anthropogenic carbon emissions, providing a substantial buffer to climate change. How will carbon flows between the ocean and atmosphere change in the future? The majority of studies provide an annual mean estimate for these fluxes. A team led by Paridhi Rustogi...

How Climate Protection is Challenging the Liberal World

From climate justice and generational justice to regulating CO2 emissions – efforts to mitigate the climate crisis have produced a range of new norms. Yet the corresponding obligations are often a source of controversy. For example, how should responsibilities and burdens be distributed around the world? Prof. Antje Wiener...
