Home / News / Press releases / Cut emissions further or face risks of high air pollution, study shows
“Strong actions and further effective legislation are essential to avoid the drastic deterioration of air quality, which can have severe effects on human health,” concludes the team of scientists, led by Andrea Pozzer of the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Italy (now at the Max Planck Institute of Chemistry in Germany), in the new paper.

The study found that with rapid climate action, 83% of current snow days would be saved. Without emissions cuts, however, the loss of snow would be particularly severe in the southern Alps, such as in Italy, Slovenia, and parts of France, with the south-west Alps especially badly hit.

He was born in Surrey in 1952 and completed a B.A. in Environmental Sciences at the University of Lancaster in 1973 and an M.Sc. (1974) and Ph.D. (1977) at the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. In the late 1970s, Phil Jones first conceived the idea of developing a gridded database of surface temperatures.

He undertook experimental and theoretical analysis of the zircon-in-garnet elastic thermometer and applied it to study the entrapment conditions in the eclogites of the Bergen Arc in Norway. Making use of the time-dependent process of viscous relaxation, he provided a new kind of chronometer, applicable to very short events such as kimberlite magma ascent.

The results show the control of temperature variations upon variations in the empirical degree of halite saturation. Thus, on the annual cycle variations in the water balance have minor effect upon halite precipitation. Next step of the research is investigation of the spatiotemporal variations of halite strata formation as a response to the variations in the degree of halite saturation.
