    Description

    Scientific evidence linking chlorofluorocarbons and other ozone-depleting substances to global ozone depletion led to the initial control of chemicals under the 1987 Montreal Protocol. Since then it has been realized that some actions taken to reduce future depletion of the ozone layer could also influence global warming. When the Kyoto Protocol was negotiated in 1997, countries had new incentives to take account of how choices among substitutes could affect the objectives of both Protocols. This report provides the scientific context required for consideration of these choices; potential methodologies for assessing options; and technical issues relating to greenhouse gas emission reduction opportunities for each of the sectors involved, including refrigeration, air conditioning, foams, aerosols, fire protection and solvents. This IPCC/TEAP Special Report provides invaluable information for researchers in environmental science, climatology, and atmospheric chemistry, policy-makers in governments and environmental organizations, and scientists and engineers in industry.

    • Comprehensive and definitive IPCC report on ozone and climate
    • Chapters written by international experts

    Antarctic Science
    Antarctic Science

    : Journal

    Antarctic Science provides a truly international forum for the broad spread of studies that increasingly characterise scientific research in the Antarctic. Whilst emphasising interdisciplinary work, the journal publishes papers from environmental management to biodiversity, from volcanoes to icebergs, and from oceanography to the upper atmosphere. No other journal covers such a wide range of Antarctic scientific studies. The journal attracts papers from all countries currently undertaking Antarctic research. It publishes both review and data papers with no limits on length, two-page short notes on technical developments and recent discoveries, and book reviews. These, together with an editorial discussing broader aspects of science, provide a rich and varied mixture of items to interest researchers in all areas of science. There are no page charges, or charges for colour, to authors publishing in the Journal. One issue each year is normally devoted to a specific theme or papers from a major meeting.

    Radiocarbon

    : Journal

    Radiocarbon publishes original research articles relevant to 14C and other radioisotopes and techniques used in various applications and fields of interest. The journal is well known for publishing regular updates to the International Calibration (IntCal) curve data, with the most recent being IntCal13, which is frequently cited in the literature when presenting calibrated radiocarbon dates. For over 50 years, the journal has provided significant articles that describe new and existing techniques and instrumentation. Radiocarbon also includes review articles, book reviews, announcements, and letters to the editor. 2015 Impact Factor: 4.565 2015 Cited Half-Life: 7
