Chemistry-Climate simulations and air quality forecasts are computationally expensive.
In our latest publication we show that models using KPP can be much faster without any loss in accuracy.

Optimized step size control within the Rosenbrock solvers for stiff chemical ordinary differential equation systems in KPP version 2.2.3_rs4
Abstract. Numerical integration of multiphase chemical kinetics in atmospheric models is challenging. The underlying system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is stiff and thus difficult to sol...

Few cultural products make lasting impact. But Don’t Look Up was one of the few, as evidenced by how much conversation it still generates.

Great retrospective on the film's release & why it's reassuring that it remains so loathed by those it ridiculed.
How 'Don't Look Up' Powerfully Exposed the Absurdity of Climate Inaction
Filmmaker Adam McKay discusses the reaction to 'Don't Look Up,' the 2021 film which used satire to demonstrate the madness of our political response to the climate crisis and the media's role in…

Atmospheric chemistry calculations are very expensive. This work on efficient time-stepping has been a long time waiting to see the light. I am very happy Raphael Dreger @fz-juelich.de made the investigation and evaluation. Manuscript now for public discussion gmd.copernicus.org/preprints/gm...

Today I will be crossing this year-round air pollution hot spot. I will certainly smell wood smoke and ammonia. How long will this situation persist? Stopping burning wood for heating and eating meat would help greatly...

Since the first time I heard about carbon credits I was sure these are a Trojan horse for corruption and fraud with green washing. Even my colleagues (scientists) wash their conscience by buying CO2 offsets when they fly many times a year to conferences and project meetings.
At least billon💶€ climate fraud. When Germany tries to "reduce" emissions by buying #carbon certificates without proper in-situ auditory. Could be the same with #geoengeneering projects if allowed to trade the illusion of doing something for the #climate, just distraction for profit. 🧪🌎 17min📽️👇🏽

Why HPMTF does not produce OCS when encountering aqueous media? Thioperhemicetal could be the answer!

Perhemiacetal Formation and Cl/NO₃-initiated chemistry of Hydroperoxymethylthioformate (HPMTF) in atmospheric DMS oxidation
The emission of dimethylsulfide (DMS) is an important source of sulfur in the atmosphere. Its oxidation leads to enhanced particle formation, where OCS is a critical reaction intermediate as it can re...

Ich habe aus meinem 84 min. Reisefilm einen 84 Sek Trailer geschnitten. Eine Art Zeitraffer einer viermonatigen Reise, die heute mit der Rückkehr von nach Freiburg mit Bus, Zug & Schiff in ein letztes Kapitel geht.

Freue mich, wenn ihr in den ganzen Film reinschaut:)
