• Increased importance of methane reduction for a 1.5 degree target

  Open Access•W J Collins, Christopher P Webber et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Research Letters•2018

  To understand the importance of methane on the levels of carbon emission reductions required to achieve temperature goals, a processed-based approach is necessary rather than reliance on the transient climate response to emissions. We show that plausible levels of methane (CH4) mitigation can make a substantial difference to the feasibility of achieving the Paris climate targets through increasing the allowable carbon emissions. This benefit is e…

• Missing pieces to modeling the Arctic-Boreal puzzle

  Open Access•Joshua B Fisher, Daniel J Hayes et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Research Letters•2017

  NASA has launched the decade-long Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE). While the initial phases focus on field and airborne data collection, early integration with modeling activities is important to benefit future modeling syntheses. We compiled feedback from ecosystem modeling teams on key data needs, which encompass carbon biogeochemistry, vegetation, permafrost, hydrology, and disturbance dynamics. A suite of variables was identifi…

• CO 2 loss by permafrost thawing implies additional emissions reductions to limit warming to 1.5 or 2 °C

  Open Access•Eleanor Burke, Eleanor J Burke et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Research Letters•2017

  Large amounts of carbon are stored in the permafrost of the northern high latitude land. As permafrost degrades under a warming climate, some of this carbon will decompose and be released to the atmosphere. This positive climate-carbon feedback will reduce the natural carbon sinks and thus lower anthropogenic CO2 emissions compatible with the goals of the Paris Agreement. Simulations using an ensemble of the JULES-IMOGEN intermediate complexity c…
