MIT researchers have built a model to simulate long-range atmospheric transport of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Persistent organic pollutants are chemicals of substantial international concern. The presence of these pollutants in the Arctic is important for several reasons.

Such rapid growth demands detailed understanding of the potential impact on the protective stratospheric ozone (O 3 ) layer and climate. Adopted in 1987, the Montreal Protocol global ban on substances that deplete the ozone layer is considered one of the most successful international environmental policy interventions. Marais, E.

Separately, the International Energy Agency (IEA) released its own report exploring the potential for a “golden age” of gas. Speaking at the launch of the IEA report in London, IEA Executive Director Nobuo Tanaka said that “ An expansion of gas use alone is no panacea for climate change. MIT: The Future of Natural Gas.

Her dissertation focused on developing methods to determine a baseline for concentrations of pollutants in the atmosphere based on historical spatial-temporal measurements. Mildred Dresselhaus worked at MIT, which she joined in 1960 as a researcher in its Lincoln Laboratory Solid State Division, in Lexington, Mass. She earned her Ph.D.

The researchers concluded that models of climate change may be underestimating how much water is likely to run off the land and back into the sea as atmospheric chemistry changes. Either way, water resource managers need more accurate runoff estimates to plan better for the changes. Credit: NASA. Click to enlarge.
