Mini Documentary - Climate Modeling and Forests
How do forests shape the climate — and how does a changing climate reshape our forests? What can science reveal about the forests of tomorrow? This mini documentary dives into the world of climate modeling and forest ecosystems, featuring Moa Sporre and David Wårlind, both climate scientists and members of MERGE.
The climate models behind the IPCC reports
Climate change is here and will continue for a long time to come, even if we succeed in reducing our emissions in accordance with the Paris Agreement. But how can we know how the climate will change and what consequences this will have? What research actually lies behind the comprehensive reports produced by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)?
In this lecture, Paul Miller, MERGE PI and climate researcher at Lund University and expert in climate modelling, will talk about how different scenarios for our future climate are developed.
Lecture held in Swedish.
