The year 2023 was by far the warmest in Earths recorded history, and perhaps in the past 100,000 years , shattering the previous record set in 2016 by 0.27C (0.49F). Albedo is the total reflection of incoming solar radiation by Earth. But why were 2023 and 2024 so warm? What is albedo?
As you can see though, the size of the residual for 2023 was comparable to 2016 and 1998 (years that started with large El Nio events), and 2024 had the highest residual in decades despite the recent El Nio only being a moderate event. Indeed, we estimate that the contribution from the solar cycle has been comparably large.
The radiative forcing from these changes in concentrations can be easily calculated using standard formulas (from Etminan et al, 2016 which supersede the slightly simpler ones from IPCC TAR), as about 2 W/m 2 for the CO 2 change and 0.65 W/m 2 for CH 4. W/m<sup>2</sup> (to about 60% of the CO 2 effect since 1750). References.
He made some rather strange claims, such as that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) allegedly should have forgotten that the earth is a sphere because “ most absorption of solar radiation takes place over the tropics, while there is excess emission of longwave radiation to space over higher latitudes ”. 679-688, 2016.
Now however, the updates to the historical warming , the use of four datasets instead of one, and of course, the series of record breaking years subsequently (2014, 2015, 2016/2020), the issue of variability in decadal trends is no longer so salient. 1981) which can be seen here. The radiative forcing bar chart now converted to temperature.
Rich Janati, DEP Bureau of Radiation Protection, explained, “TENORM is mainly from fracking operations, a lot of it in Pennsylvania. The Appalachian LLRW Compact includes Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and West Virginia. It contains radium with a 1,600 year half-life.” Read more here. Read more here.
See for instance Benestad (2016). The most important problem with the sun-climate explanation is that there has been no long-term change in either solar activity or cosmic radiation over the last hundred years that can explain the global warming we are now seeing. 679-688, 2016. References R.E.
Marsha Haley: University of Pittsburgh radiation oncologist – Speaking about health risks associated with oil and gas industry’s radioactive emissions, the various radioactive elements involved, and the research she is currently involved with on the topic. Haley, M.D.,
C hotter than the second-hottest year to date, 2016. The NASA account continued that “any significant change in the amount of solar radiation reaching Earth can change the climate” though it stopped short of naming humans— and a few handfuls of large corporate emitters —as the culprit. The annual-average temperature was 1.48
This could help put measures in place that limit damage to technology and energy grids on Earth from the electromagnetic radiation. Palmerio and collaborators looked at four stealth CMEs that occurred between 2008 and 2016. The novel imaging techniques applied to remote sensing data of the coronal mass ejection on 08 Oct 2016.
In 2016, he was nominated professor at the VUB and became chief of medical physics at the UZ Brussel (UZB). Join the audience. Thierry Gevaert graduated as medical physicist at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and defended his PhD “Clinical implementation of frameless radiosurgery” in 2012.
Smoke-driven changes in radiation have real world consequences beyond making for good film fodder and beautiful sunsets. For one, plants rely on solar radiation to grow, and the U.S. agricultural regions lie in the path of wildfire smoke, we need to understand how radiation changes impact different types of crops.
This knowledge can help with solar radiation management in marine ecosystems, including the Great Barrier Reef. One of the worst mass bleaching events occurred in 2016 and 2017 on the Great Barrier Reef, causing bleaching on 91% of the system’s reefs. Over the past two decades, coral reefs have declined at unprecedented rates.
Radiation Testing DEP did not test anywhere on the Latkanich property for radiation or radon gas, in spite of multiple requests, according to Johnson. Radiation testing was never part of the testing that the Department performs on the site, even though we had asked repeatedly for radiation testing. Read more here.
These funnels are rooted deeper in the Sun, in the star’s light-radiating photosphere, and they extend far into interplanetary space. After training the neural network, the team used it to study 1700 EUV and magnetic field images of the Sun, taken by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory between November 2010 and December 2016.
Another co-factor, radiation from wireless communications can affect navigation during migration. The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada, an independent scientific panel that advises government, officially recommended monarchs be protected as endangered in 2016. Tim Gray, Executive Director, Environmental Defence.
A study released in May 2022 by Penn State found radiation levels of conventional oil and gas drilling wastewater disposed of by uncontrolled spreading on roads contained levels of radioactivity exceeding industrial radiation discharge standards. Read more here. Read more here.
Their phantom design allows the introduction of interchangeable cuboid inserts – to image and irradiate – in the centre of the brain and the insertion of radiation detectors through two parallel cylindrical access cavities. STEEV is a versatile solution that is readily adapted to suit a clinic’s local best practices,” Clark explains.
DEP has conducted several investigations into potential radiological contamination associated with unconventional oil and gas waste, including a large-scale investigatory study of Technologically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (TENORM) in 2016, as well as testing of leachate from the Westmoreland Sanitary Landfill (WSL).
DEP prohibited the road dumping of shale gas drilling wastewater in 2016 regulations. The Journal article noted some previous studies of radiation on unpaved roads found little radiation, but this study suggests the reason was the radium was washed off the roadbeds during rain events. Read more here. Read more here.
From 2016 to 2021, DEP approved 752 plans for the permanent disposal of drill cuttings at oil and gas well drilling sites through the decades-old practice of “dusting”-- forcefully blowing drill cuttings on the ground around their drilling sites, according to DEP’s response to a Right To Know request.
The DEP banned road spreading of unconventional waste in 2016. Recommendations The report makes five recommendations for closing the loophole and fixing the deficiencies in the oil and gas waste reporting system-- -- Ban road spreading – The DEP banned road spreading of waste from unconventional wells in 2016.
The decay chain of radium involves the release of radiation. Exposure to radiation has been linked to causing various types of cancers , such as lymphomas, leukemia, and bone cancer. The presence of radium-226 and radium-228 is of great concern for individuals’ health.
The OncoRay researchers work closely on algorithm development and validation with their colleagues at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg – the two institutes together form the National Center for Radiation Research in Oncology (NCRO) – while industrial support comes from the Cancer Therapy Business Line at Siemens Healthineers.
The correlation had been shown in a paper by an author outside the conventional scientific community, so, for good measure, Simpson added that a non-expert could not properly appreciate how atmospheric circulation affects the absorption of radiation.
But if primordial black holes (PBHs) did form as early as one second after the Big Bang, during the “radiation dominated” era, things would be different. As Hawking had first realized, black holes evaporate over time, via Hawking radiation. Black holes formed much later, only after the first ancient stars had died.
The most important recent change was a new measurement of methane’s infrared absorption in 2016. For other gases, the GWP depends on two different properties of the gas: how strongly it absorbs infrared radiation; and how long it stays in the atmosphere after it is emitted. W/m 2 from elevated CO 2.
So if somebody happened to have driven through a pool of this radiated de-icing stuff, you necessarily didn't have to have driven through this, it's now on your car. PA DEP banned the road spreading of unconventional shale gas wastewater in regulations adopted in 2016. Kids put everything in their mouth. It's too cold in your garage.
Through a Right To Know request, PA Environment Digest reviewed 12 randomly selected alternative on-site waste disposal plans submitted by conventional oil and gas operators from the 721 conventional operator plans DEP approved between 2016 to 2021. Read more here. Read more here. Read more here.
That’s why gas-powered cars need complex and expensive radiator systems with their associated belts, pipes, and heat exchangers. As of 2016, wind provided 8 percent of US electric generation. A significant portion of the energy from gasoline is converted to unwanted heat. You’ll feel the loss of energy.
He has also served as a leader at World Jamborees in Chile and Thailand, and he received the District Award of Merit in 2004 and the Silver Beaver Award in 2016. In early 2020 he was diagnosed with stage four non-Hodgkin lymphoma and underwent multiple chemotherapy and radiation treatments before undergoing Car-T immunotherapy.

She is a climate scientist on detail from EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, where she is leading the fifth National Climate Assessment at the U.S. Allison has expertise in assessing climate impacts and risks, particularly on health and economic damages, and led the 2016 U.S.
This is an issue that has been identified internally, it's actually even broader than just the radiation concerns [with waste], there's a broader waste management concern here, even for non-radioactive plugging waste.” “I I think there are methods that were used in the past that didn't, may not quite work now.
Updates To Conventional Drilling Regulations Still Pending Since 2016, when an update to conventional oil and gas drilling regulations were killed by the General Assembly and Gov. The weekly reports posted during 2023 are below. Wolf, DEP has been trying to get a new package of updates out for formal public comment.
The fact that there is a natural greenhouse effect (that the atmosphere restricts the passage of infra-red (IR) radiation from the Earth’s surface to space) is easily deducible from; i) the mean temperature of the surface (around 15ºC) and, ii) knowing that the planet is normally close to radiative equilibrium. in IPCC TAR).
In 2016, he completed his PhD at the University of Geneva , Switzerland, followed by almost four years as a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University in California. Before taking up his CityU post, Denver Li spent much of the previous decade broadening his research experience in Europe and the US.

But if they are thin and transparent, they reflect very little sunlight and instead trap a lot of the heat radiating from the Earth, resulting in a net warming effect. Like low clouds, if cirrus clouds are deep, they reflect sunlight and cool the Earth. Retrieved March 31, 2023, from [link] Aerosols: Tiny Particles, Big Impact.
