I see under the RESEARCH tab that two projects are pending. Is that really true? It seems that researcher for the aerosol project has disappeared. Perhaps the page should be edited. What about the other project?

I see under the RESEARCH tab that two projects are pending. Is that really true? It seems that researcher for the aerosol project has disappeared. Perhaps the page should be edited. What about the other project? There are updates on the page for both of the projects that have not been launched. Specifically, the updated text (in italics below) on the page reads: Impact of climate change on public health (Emory University, USA) This project, which is anticipated to launch in 2021, will examine the impact of climate change on temperature and air pollution at local levels, helping researchers understand the impact of a changing climate on human health. Impact of atmospheric aerosols on climate change (Far Eastern Federal University, Russia) Atmospheric aerosols, such as dust, smoke and pollution, both absorb and reflect sunlight in the atmosphere, and represent the greatest area of uncertainty in climate science today, according to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This project aims to determine how super-micron particles (6 to 12 micrometers in diameter) interact with sunlight and how they contribute to atmospheric temperatures - information that will improve the accuracy of climate models. Since their application was accepted, the project's principal investigator has moved to a new university in a different country. Far Eastern Federal University does not have plans to move forward with the project at this time. We are leaving this information on the page so that anyone who is interested can read the updates. Once we have more information, we will update the page again. |
