Equipping the CalNex Mission
A major study of the nexus of air quality and climate change in California.
About this study
The CalNex study
embodies a “one atmosphere” perspective that
addresses both air quality and climate change
issues. A collaborative of NOAA, California Air Resources Board (CARB), and the California Energy Commission (CEC), this program utilizes state-of-the-art
airborne, ship- and ground-based instrument
packages, many developed and installed by CIRES scientists. Read more on the CalNex 2010 web site.Other CIRES Slideshows
This project focuses on Larsen C, the largest remaining ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula. Monitoring changes in ice shelf stability provides a unique opportunity to gain a broader understanding of the climatic conditions and physical processes that impact future estimates of global sea level rise.
