Modeling the global society-biosphere-climate system: Part 2: Computed scenarios
This paper presents scenarios computed with IMAGE 2.0, an integrated model of the global environment and climate change.

The terrestrial biosphere component of the Integrated Model to Assess the Greenhouse Effect (IMAGE 2.0) uses changes in land cover to compute dynamically the greenhouse gas fluxes between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere.
A model has been developed to estimate the regional emission of greenhouse gases from land-use related sources.
Atmospheric chemistry and climate modellers require gridded global emissions data
In this paper we present a mathematical formulation of a well-known model of the enhanced greenhouse effect: the Dutch IMAGE model.
Feedback mechanisms play a crucial role in the climate system, amplifying or dampening the climate response to enhanced concentrations of greenhouse gases from anthropogenic perturbations. Many of these feedbacks are known, but most of them only potentially. This article...
Within the carbon cycle feedback, mechanisms that amplify or dampen the exchange of carbon dioxide between the different reservoirs to enhance concentrations of carbon dioxide and increase temperature from anthropogenic perturbations, play a crucial role. Quite a lot of these...
Methane has been a major contributor to the enhanced greenhouse effect during the 1980s, second only to carbon dioxide. Because of uncertainties about the sources and sinks of methane, policy discussions focus on more manageable substances like carbon dioxide and CFCs. In...
The Global Warming Potential (GWP) of greenhouse gas emissions can be defined as a greenhouse pendant to the Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP). Global Warming Potentials are calculated for the most important greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, CO, N2O, CFC-11, CFC-12, CFC-13, CFC-14,...
This report concludes a series of reports which provide the technical-scientific base for revision of the guidelines for soil and groundwater in the Dutch Soil Protection act.
