Jan 2025 Vehicle-to-grid impact on battery degradation and estimation of V2G economic compensation
This study investigates the Lithium-ion battery degradation of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and calculates the compensation cost when BEVs are used as primary energy storage systems using vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology. We introduce a novel co-simulation ...
Dec 2022 The Arctic has warmed nearly four times faster than the globe since 1979
In recent decades, the warming in the Arctic has been much faster than in the rest of the world, a phenomenon known as Arctic amplification. Numerous studies report that the Arctic is warming either twice, ...
Oct 2021 Emergent biogeochemical risks from Arctic permafrost degradation
The Arctic cryosphere is collapsing, posing overlapping environmental risks. In particular, thawing permafrost threatens to release biological, chemical and radioactive materials that have been sequestered for tens to hundreds of thousands of years. As these ...
In recent years, the pan-Arctic region has experienced increasingly extreme fire seasons. Fires in the northern high latitudes are driven by current and future climate change, lightning, fuel conditions, and human activity. In this context, ...
