Insolation and GHG induced variations in the sea ice of the last nine interglacials and their comparison with the present and future by Zhipeng Wu (UCLouvain)

Ce doctorat, réalisé sur une bourse FRIA - FNRS, vise à clarifier les voies d’évolution du paysage laitier wallon, sur base d’une approche des stratégies et contraintes des agents d’action collective, à savoir les laiteries coopératives.

Feedback between Antarctic ice-shelf melt and Southern Ocean surface warming by Charles Pelletier (UCLouvain) Antarctic ice shelves are a unique feature of the Southern polar region. They consist in potentially large (i.e.

Tropical forests play an important role in the global carbon cycle and represent a significant CO2 sink. Maintaining this function requires a large and sutained availability of nitrogen (N). As a result, understanding N cycling is crucial for the assessment of future productivity of tropical forest ecosystems.

Invasive pest infestations have important impacts on agricultural yields and are projected to increase in the face of global warming. This study investigates the effects of encouraging individual and collective pest management practices on crop losses.

The importance of the Arctic sea ice initial conditions for predicting atmospheric and oceanographic processes is assessed within a perfect model experiment framework. To do so, we used model outputs from EC-Earth3 and HadGEM3 – two General Circulation Models (GMCs) – as true reference states. Long-term control runs were generated with both models based on present-day forcing.

  The Antarctic Ice Sheet is the biggest reservoir of fresh water on Earth, that represents a potential 57 meters sea-level rise if the entire Ice Sheet melted. Therefore, any changes in its mass has a large impact on the global sea-level. During the 20th century, the Antarctic Ice Sheet has gained mass at its surface through an enhanced snow accumulation.

The production of forest-risk commodities, such as palm oil, soy, beef and timber drive global forest loss. To reduce deforestation risks across supply chains, more than 500 companies have adopted zero-deforestation commitments (ZDCs).
