He joined CSIC in 2003 and secured a permanent position in 2006. In 2014, he led the project “Nanoimplant” that won the IDEA²Madrid Award (a partnership of Comunidad de Madrid in Spain and MIT in USA). After obtaining his PhD in physics at UCM (Spain) in 1999, he was a Marie Curie postdoc at Paris-Sud University (France) in 2000–2002.

PennFuture 25th Anniversary Celebrations Honor 7 Pennsylvanians For Fighting Climate Change, Industrial Pollution

PA Environment Daily

Dawes was instrumental in the reauthorization of the federal Abandoned Mine Lands Fund in 2006 and served as Chair of the campaign that led to Pennsylvania receiving $1 billion to address Pennsylvania’s mining legacy of more than 185,000 acres of unsafe, mine-scarred lands. Church was an elementary school counselor in Philadelphia until 2014.

California Air Resources Board Releases Draft Scoping Plan Update (Part 2)

Clean Energy Law

Assembly Bill (AB) 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32), required CARB to develop a scoping plan, to be updated at least once every five years, that describes the approach California will take to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions to achieve the goal of reducing emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. billion.

Solar Panels Are More Carbon-Intensive Than Experts Admit

Environmental Progress

The disruption happened in under a decade, with China’s global share of PV production surging from 14 percent in 2006 to 60 percent by 2013. In 2014, they calculated the carbon intensity of PV energy as if the panels were made in Europe, with low-carbon energy,” Mariutti told Environmental Progress, referring to data compilers.

Solving the proton puzzle

Physics World

That made it nearly 4% smaller than the then official value set in 2006 by the Committee on Data of the International Science Council (CODATA) and, given the tiny error bars, completely at odds with it. In 2014 it called on “two pairs of knowledgeable researchers” to extract a value from the scattering data. Puzzling times.

New California Legislation Would Be a Major Step Forward for Climate Disclosure

Law Columbia

3] California has long led the nation in adoption of environmental rules, including the first motor vehicle emission standards in 1966, energy efficiency standards for appliances in the 1970s, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, and many others. [4] 4] The new corporate climate disclosure bills may well continue that tradition.

The legacy of Liverpool’s forgotten synchrocyclotron

Physics World

This involved varying the frequency of the radio frequency (RF) electric field in a cyclotron to account for the relativistic effects that otherwise limited the energy of protons in an accelerator (see box). Once particles start to reach relativistic speeds, the beam goes out of phase with the electric field and cannot be further accelerated.
