• OxyPlanets — Habitability of Exo-Earths in various atmospheric oxidative conditions

  Horizon Europe · Appel 2021 · Établissement bénéficiaire (ERC)

  Among the thousands of extrasolar planets discovered, Earth-like objects focus our attention to seek new habitable worlds. Eleven Earth-sized planets have already been discovered in the Habitable Zone (HZ) of their host-star, including three in the TRAPPIST-1 planetary system. Deciphering their atmospheres is the challenge of the next decade in exoplanetary science, stressing out urgent…

• PREFER — Deciphering the lay ethics of terminal risks: local terminal risks as PRoxiEs For Existential Risks

  Horizon Europe · Appel 2021 · Établissement bénéficiaire (ERC)

  The main objective of the PREFER project is to open the scientific debate on existential risk to empirical enquiry. The PREFER team will identify how lay ethics (the ethics of ordinary people) manifest themselves in non-Western communities faced with extreme threat. Local terminal risks due to the collapse of regional ecosystems will serve as proxies…

• WET HORIZONS — WET HORIZONS - upgrading knowledge and solutions to fast-track wetland restoration across Europe

  Horizon Europe · Appel 2021 · Participant

  Wetlands are key biodiversity hotspots that provide numerous ecosystem services such as water purification, flood control and climate change mitigation due to their capacity of sequestering carbon and modulating the atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases. Despite their ecological and economic importance, wetlands are disappearing at an alarming rate, and are among Europe’s most endangered ecosystems,…

• BeCoM — Better Contrails Mitigation

  Horizon Europe · Appel 2021 · Participant

  Aviation contributes to about 5% of the total anthropogenic climate change when including non-CO2 effects, e.g., contrail formation and the impact of NOx emissions on ozone and methane. Among various non-CO2 effects, the contrail-cirrus radiative forcing is the largest (~2/3) with large uncertainties. The most critical affecting factor is the huge weather-induced variability of the…

• RESCUE — Response of the Earth System to overshoot, Climate neUtrality and negative Emissions

  Horizon Europe · Appel 2021 · Participant

  The RESCUE project will improve knowledge and understanding in area c) of this call: “Climate and Earth System responses to climate neutrality and net negative emissions”, by pursuing two overall objectives: 1) Quantify the climate and Earth system responses to pathways achieving climate neutrality by Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) deployment with and without temperature overshoot,…
