Climate change and climate variability: personal motivation for adaptation and mitigation. [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Global climate change impacts on human and natural systems are predicted to be severe, far reaching, and to affect the most physically and economically vulnerable disproportionately. Society can respond to these threats through two strategies:

The effectiveness of policy on consumer choices for private road passenger transport emissions reductions in six major economies

Environmental Research Letters, 2015
The effectiveness of fiscal policy to influence vehicle purchases for emissions reductions in private passenger road transport depends on its ability to incentivise consumers to make choices oriented towards lower emissions vehicles.

Long‐term hippocampal alterations and cognitive impairment in a murine model of surgical sepsis

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Using a mouse model of surgical sepsis, we tested long‐term memory and analyzed the transcriptome of single cells isolated from the hippocampus. Survivor mice showed worse memory, loss of certain brain cell subpopulations, and abnormal immune cell activity—suggesting that post‐sepsis brain alterations may be linked to cognitive deficits.

Deep Learning-Based Medium- and Long-Term Ozone Forecasting for Megacity Shanghai, China

Aerosol and Air Quality Research
Accurate ozone concentration forecasting is crucial for effective air quality management and environmental protection. However, most of the existing forecasting models focus on short-term (24–72 h) forecasts and lack validation for extended horizons ...

Can plants help us avoid seeding a human‐made climate catastrophe?

Plants, People, Planet, 2019
Societal Impact Statement Human‐made climate change places the future of the planet in peril. Rapid greenhouse gas emissions over the past few decades already commit Earth to a warmer climate state and lock‐in future extinctions.
