Does the metric matter? Climate change impacts of light-duty vehicle electrification in the US
Environmental Research: Infrastructure and Sustainability, 2022 Vehicle electrification is one of the most promising climate change mitigation strategies for light-duty vehicles (LDVs). But vehicle electrification shifts the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission profiles of conventional LDVs with emissions moving upstream ...

The impact of a northern peatland on the earth’s radiative budget: sustained methane emission versus sustained carbon sequestration [PDF]
, 2006 Northern peatlands sequester carbon and emit methane, and thus have both cooling and warming impacts on the climate system through their influence on atmospheric burdens of CO2 and CH4.

, 2021 The next generation of heat pumps (HPs), including those intended for cold climates must transition to low-global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants to mitigate climate change. HPs must be designed to alleviate the problems of excessive discharge temperatures, low suction pressure and high-pressure ratio at low ambient conditions and insufficient ...

Stable climate metrics for emissions of short and long-lived species—combining steps and pulses
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 Multi-gas climate agreements rely on a methodology (widely referred to as ‘metrics’) to place emissions of different gases on a CO _2 -equivalent scale. There has been an ongoing debate on the extent to which existing metrics serve current climate policy.
