Aerosols and Greenhouse Gases in a Changing World
A 1-day symposium on the occasion of Tom Peter’s 60th birthday
Veranstaltungsort
Hauptgebäude, Raum F 30
ETH Zürich
Rämistrasse 101
8092 Zürich
This one-day colloquium brings together several of Tom Peter’s distinguished colleagues working on aerosols and greenhouse gases in a changing world. It will address the development of our understanding of particulate matter and gases with respect to their importance for climate and air quality.
Ranging from changes in surface emissions of natural and anthropogenic precursors to effects of aerosols and gases on the Earth’s radiation budget or on stratospheric ozone, the presentations will describe our current knowledge and suggest priorities of future research.
