Climate neutrality plans from 103 European cities expect emissions to remain in 2030 after planned reductions, with carbon removal intended to compensate for

Reforestation is widely promoted as a way to help limit global warming, but new research suggests its climate impact depends strongly on where new forests are

CR26-AgroEcoSystem-3 - You will join the CESBIO (Centre for the study of the biosphere from space, https://www.cesbio.cnrs.fr) joint research unit associating INRAE/Univ Toulouse/CNES/CNRS/IRD, located in Toulouse. The research conducted at CESBIO aims to study the functioning and dynamics of the continental biosphere under climatic and anthropological constraints with considerable use of satellite remote sensing. Within this unit, you will join the AgroEcosystems team that develops spatialised modelling approaches to estimate production, flows, and balance of C, water, and energy. You will be supported by researchers and engineers developing and using the AgroCarbonEO chain.Assessing the contribution of agriculture to climate change has long been based primarily on the understanding of biogeochemical-type processes (agricultural greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), soil carbon sequestration), without taking into account biogeophysical processes, of which the contribution to potential climate cooling remains largely overlooked. This is the case of albedo, of which the management through agricultural practices has consequences on the radiative forcing of the atmosphere that remain to be specified. For instance, it is probable that the presence of catch and cover crops allows synergies between the biogeochemical and biogeophysical effects to mitigate global warming; the effects of other practices remain to be shown, in particular on agroecological systems or systems in transition. Within this context, you will develop work aimed at qualifying, measuring, and modelling the dynamics of agricultural surface albedo. You will draw on modelling approaches assimilating remote sensing data in spatialised agronomical models to objectify the biogeochemical and biogeophysical effects of agricultural practices over extensive areas. Your work will allow climate modellers to better assess the net climate effects of changes in practices at regional/global level, and climate feedback on crop functioning.You will analyse the processes and determinants (e.g. soil and climate, practices, vegetation) of albedo dynamics of agricultural land and their effects on the climate to identify relevant agricultural practices to reduce global warming. You will develop work on the modelling platform AgriCarbon-EO developed at CESBIO to simulate the dynamics of biogeophysical processes induced by changes in practices.

Norway just marked a major step forward for the environment. The nation successfully injected and stored carbon dioxide (CO₂) deep under the North Sea. These

Carbon storage is complex and costly, and critics say it cannot meet the urgent need to slash planet-heating emissions and meet the climate targets.

A study published in Scientific Data presents long-term projections of global climate vulnerability, offering one of the most detailed assessments

As the world shifts towards sustainability and carbon reduction, significant changes are emerging in the investment landscape. Carbon markets, once considered a niche area, are gaining prominence as investors seek ways to mitigate climate change through carbon dioxide removal (CDR) initiatives, with specialized ETFs and tree planting projects becoming increasingly popular investment avenues. Meanwhile, resilience in silver prices and innovation in electric vehicle technologies, such as battery swap technology, are also shaping the market, while concerns over Bitcoin's environmental impact add a layer of complexity to its growing price performance.

Clean Power SF expands access to 100 percent renewable energy for San Francisco residents and businesses.

Young forests regrowing on previously deforested land could play a critical role in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and slowing climate change,

Murmansk scientists create unique method for monitoring greenhouse emissions in Arctic waters, assessing anthropogenic load

Norway on Tuesday launched a flagship carbon capture and storage (CCS) project, a technology seen as crucial to curbing climate change but struggling to find

Project aims to capture methane, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions over time.

Even as global climate policy struggles to remain at the forefront of political agendas, a large majority of people across the world back comprehensive
