The enormous quantities of frozen carbon in the Arctic, held in shallow soils and sediments, act as “capacitors” of the global carbon system. Thawing permafrost (PF) and collapsing methane hydrates are top candidates to cause a net transfer of carbon from land/ocean to ...

Despite their abundance in the Earth’s atmosphere, cloud formation and evolution are still poorly understood. This is particularly true for the interactions clouds have with atmospheric aerosol particles and their precursor vapors, which hampers our knowledge on the rol...

The history of the cosmos is written in starlight. The stellar surface contains a fossil fingerprint of the chemical composition of its birth cloud, modulu evolutionary effects. It is therefore possible to extract detailed knowledge about the history of galaxies like th...
