Sentences with phrase «especially atmospheric composition»

Non-polar glacial ice holds a wealth of information about past changes in climate, the environment and especially atmospheric composition, such as variations in temperature, atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases and emissions of natural aerosols or human - made pollutants... The glaciers therefore hold the memory of former climates and help to predict future environmental changes.

Not exact matches

For example, changes in Earth's atmospheric composition (especially the concentrations of greenhouse gases) may alter the climate, while climate change itself can change the atmospheric composition (for example by changing the rate at which weathering removes CO2).

On longer timescales, atmospheric composition and climate have been intertwined for billions of years, especially via methane, which is both a powerful greenhouse gas and is chemically reactive.

Emissions from human activities, particularly the combustion of fossil fuels, are changing atmospheric composition, especially by raising the concentrations of climate - warming gases;

which reveal how the climate system is responding to rapid human - made changes of atmospheric composition, especially atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2).

We especially want our global surface temperature reconstruction to be accurate for the Pliocene and Pleistocene because the global temperature changes that are expected by the end of this century, if humanity continues to rapidly change atmospheric composition, are of a magnitude comparable to climate change in those epochs [1,48].
