oceanicu improving carbon understanding

the ocean plays a crucial role in the global c cycle taking up approximately 25 of the co2 we emit to the atmosphere and thus slowing the rate of climate change the future trajectory of this sink will affect the timing and intensity of the modifications to human processes that we need to undertake in order to stabilise atmospheric co2 at 450ppm our ability to measure and model this sink is limited evidenced by significant discrepancies between measured and modelled c uptake with the current frontier area of research being a suite of biological processes related to higher trophic level behaviour within the so called biological c pump this involvement of higher organisms suggests that human activities fishing energy and mineral extraction has the capacity to affect the ocean c sink however we lack the ability to quantitatively link direct human pressures and ocean c storage ocean icu will measure these key processes and evaluate their overall significance transferring those that are important into models that inform the ipcc process and in this way contribute to resolving the observed model data mismatch of ocean c sink estimates we will take this message directly to the cop in support of the ambition the unfccc has to include the ocean c sink in the global stocktake we will use the fundamental knowledge we acquire around biological systems to evaluate the ability of human interventions in the ocean to alter the carbon cycle and produce management tools that allow the tension between resource extraction and c storage to be addressed this component will involve extensive dialogue with end users and stakeholders and lead to a decision support tool that will constitute a major contribution to our ability to deliver the green deal by allowing us to ask questions around how to manage fisheries and resource extraction in a changed ocean in 50 years time

runic kitsch medieval modernity modern medievalism and the history of philology

this research project will examine a history of views of prechristian scandinavia that begins in the high middle ages and continuesin the present day focusing on a persistent association between runic inscription eddic poetry and magic rather than continuitiesor survivals of prechristian practices into the christian period this research will reveal them as fundamentally high to late medievalpractices such as magical runic inscriptions using eddic meters and eddic poetry referring to runes and magic showing a form ofalienated attraction toward the pagan past the survival of this attitude will be traced through the early modern period in whichlearned writers not only take these medieval christian textual objects at face value but also reproduce their stance of alienatedattraction continuing to view the prechristian past as a source of esoteric knowledge finally we see this view continuallyreproduced through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries even as modern philology continues to develop in this period we alsosee both serious scholarship on this subject and paraacademic occultist interest in it become increasingly entangled with thepolitics of the far right ultimately this research will reveal the continuing stance of alienated attraction as a form of runic kitsch theproject will be carried out in four phases to cover the necessary methodological concerns and sources from three periods medievalearly modern modern the results will be disseminated as a monograph manuscript as well as in media articles and through papersgiven at international conferences

tipping of the atlantic ocean circulation

the atlantic ocean circulation in particular its zonally averaged component called the atlantic meridional overturning circulation amoc is one of the tipping elements in the climate system the amoc is sensitive to freshwater perturbations and may undergo a transition to a climate disrupting state within a few decades under continuing greenhouse gas emissions the potential climate impacts of such a collapse are enormous and hence reliable estimates of the probability of its occurrence before the year 2100 central within taoc are crucial information for policy makers there are several important challenges to provide such estimates of transition probabilities to determine the climate impacts of an amoc collapse and to predict the occurrence of such an event we will develop novel computational methodology to determine transition probabilities between equilibrium states in a hierarchy of climate models which is the computational challenge in taoc application of these techniques will lead to estimates of amoc transition probabilities versus observable quantities and to transition paths being the climate dynamics challenge in taoc the climate modeling challenge in taoc is to simulate an amoc collapse in one of the stateoftheart climate models under at least one scenario of climate change finally a skillful prediction scheme for future amoc behavior will be developed using traditional and novel observable precursors based on transition paths which is the climate prediction challenge in taoc taoc will advance the field of climate dynamics by providing i novel computational techniques to study probabilities of tipping phenomena in a hierarchy of climate models and ii novel scientific knowledge on the vulnerability of the amoc under future climate change

knowledge transfer for widened eu excellence in advanced green technologies sustainability and research management

critical minerals and elements are highly significant for europes economy particularly within strategic sectors however the demand for new often essential materials conflicts with the decreasing activity in primary raw material mining as a result there is an impending need to fulfil these demands within european borders reducing reliance on third countries this was recently reflected in the european raw materials act as a clear necessity from the eu being a potential solution the use of green and noninvasive technologies to recover and refine crms besides this it is known that the reserves and productions of mineral resources in slovakia are mainly located in kosice region 46 slovak geological reserves thereby enhanced networking and positioning activities between tuke and the topclass leading research institutions are needed in order to close the still apparent research and innovation gap within the eu furthermore tuke is a distinguished mining university and serves as the primary reference centre within slovakia which will be boosted and reinforced in three main strategy lines through several learning tools and materials these will be focused on 1 exploration recovery and mining monitoring exploitation 2 capacity to drive sustainability circularity and social assessment 3 strengthening tukes research management coordination capacities and administrative skills the widex implementation will include the creation of a new cluster in central europe an excellent virtual centre as well as a stakeholder platform around the green and noninvasive technologies ecosystem and a widexs whitebook based on the lessons learned
building models of with and for sustainability transformations

while the need for sustainability transformations is ubiquitous understanding why and how they succeed or fail is limited explanations often focus on either agencyrelated or systemic factors understanding the complex dynamics of transformations however requires approaches that bridge perspectives and recognize the interdependent personal political social and ecological dynamics at play transmod addresses this gap through interdisciplinary analysis of transformative change in the context of natural resource governance and food systems across the global south and north it focuses on how novel ideas and practices emerge and take root in response to crises such as resource decline or covid19 and in interaction with existing structures and processes such as dominant narratives power relations and biophysical dynamics the project will reach its objectives through an approach that transcends a focus on systemic processes versus agency by analysing change or lack thereof as emerging from their relations it will achieve this through two methodological advancements i combining simulation modelling with empirical research of past transformations which allows analysing key material and immaterial social and socialecological processes through indepth case studies and testing their effect on emergent system dynamics through modelling and ii making sense of the complexities of change through engaging in ongoing changemaking processes together these activities will serve the development of complexityaware theories of transformationthe project will open up new opportunities for sustainability science by establishing the conceptual and methodological foundations for research that goes beyond naturalsocial divides with the help of building applying a next generation of socialecological models this will enable new ways of theorising that account for the complexity of crossscale and interconnected socialecological dynamics of the anthropocene

materials irradiation from basics to applications

quite frequently matter is subject to irradiation one can think of electronic devices in space radiotherapies materials processing by sputtering nanoparticle modification materials in the civil nuclear industry radiation detectors and many others there is a common denominator to these scenarios and is that radiation brings matter out of equilibrium sometimes quite dramatically as in laser ablation leading to a variety of physical chemical and biological phenomena at all scales starting at the attosecond and nanometer with electronic excitation and going up to meters and days or even years at the engineering or biological scale where macroscopic phenomena like failure fracture explosion or death can occur as a consequence of irradiation sometimes the goal is to avoid or mitigate damage and other times is to harness the effects of radiation to alter the properties of materials in all these scenarios it is crucial to understand the fundamental mechanisms of material response to intense and fast energy depositionthe research aim of mamba is to advance our understanding of material response to irradiation and to apply it to tailor and control the properties of materials exposed purposedly or involuntarily to intense radiation environments we have selected five case studies lying at the frontier of knowledge and spanning applications in diverse although connected fields space electronics photovoltaic cells for space applications radiationresistant nanostructures for nuclear fusion applications radiation detectors for clinical studies proton radiotherapy and radiolytic hydrogen generation in nuclear decommissioning these topics will be addressed through a combination of experimental and modelling techniques that to a large degree are common to these areas this commonality allows for crosspollination between themes and for implementing a rich training program that includes schools workshops and many pm of secondments
