Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student Poster and PICO (OSPP) Awards / 2017 / Emma Anderberg
Her PhD research focuses on short-term solar cycles using cosmogenic radionuclides as a proxy for past solar activity. In the poster Emma tested a method to reconstruct solar cycle length based on cosmogenic radionuclide records and presented indications of a relationship between solar cycle lengths and solar activity.
Home / Media Library / The Earth as a cooking pot
A stronger greenhouse effect puts a thicker ‘lid’ over the Earth’s surface but, if there is no additional sunlight (if we don’t turn up the heat on the stove), extra evaporation takes place solely due to the increase in temperature. Turning up the heat by increasing solar radiation, on the other hand, enhances the energy flow through the Earth’s surface because of the need to balance the greater energy input with stronger cooling fluxes from the surface. As a result, there is more evaporation and a stronger effect on the water cycle.
