Six C2SM members among the highly cited researchers 2024
C2SM members Erich Fischer, Nicolas Gruber, Reto Knutti, Andreas Prein, Sonia Seneviratne, and Niklaus Zimmermann are (once again) on the "Highly Cited Researchers" list!
The road to Net Zero is rocky, but feasible
A sustainable transition to a climate-friendly and biodiversity-rich Switzerland is only possible if we tackle the energy transition, climate change mitigation and biodiversity loss together. This will not be easy, but it is worthwhile and ultimately indispensable, says Reto Knutti.
WeatherGenerator project aims to recast machine learning for Earth system modelling
The EU Horizon project called WeatherGenerator aims to use machine learning in novel ways to model related Earth system processes.
"BREATHE" art project: A journey to the origins of the air we breathe
Where does the air we breathe come from? With his installation "BREATHE" at the ETH main building, artist Khalil Berro questions the shared resource of air. His work is based on calculations from the Atmospheric Dynamics Group at ETH Zurich.
Unveiling the fine-scale complexity of the ocean carbon sink
As atmospheric CO2 levels continue their steady climb, the ocean persistently takes up a quarter of our CO2 emissions, curtailing the pace of climate change. But the ocean does not soak up carbon uniformly. Researchers from ETH Zurich and the University of Exeter, Great Britain, released a new product that uses satellites to map the ocean carbon sink at an unprecedented resolution, offering unique insights into its highly variable nature.
