Medal for University of Southampton’s study on climate change
A unique collaboration between the University of Southampton’s Schools of Engineering Sciences and Medicine, which has presented the most comprehensive review of the impact of aviation on climate in this century, has been awarded the Royal Aeronautical Society Silver Medal in London recently.
The paper, titled ‘Systematic review of the impact of emissions from aviation on current and future climate’, is the first major study of its kind in the past decade, since the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change published its findings on this subject in 1999.
Dr Kenji Takeda, Senior Lecturer in the School of Engineering Sciences and lead author of the paper, explains, “By using an objective approach to reviewing the effect of aircraft on climate, we hope to provide a good baseline for this active debate. There is a clear need for improving scientific understanding, and it is vital for the aircraft industry to continue to support climate scientists and work towards future solutions for sustainable aviation.”
