Aerosols: Risk Amplified by Climate Change?

Freie Universität Berlin and Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research Set Up Joint Visiting Professorship in Environmental Research. Freie Universität Berlin and the prestigious Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (Dutch: Nederlandse Organisatie voor Toegepast Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoek , TNO) are increasing their long-standing cooperation. They signed an agreement establishing a visiting professorship at Freie Universität Berlin to explore the interactions between aerosols, climate, and air quality. The first chair holder will be Professor Martijn Schaap from TNO. Schaap aims to achieve close cooperation, especially with professors at the institutes of Meteorology and Space Sciences whose expertise complements his field of research. After the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, TNO is the second-largest research organization in Europe. Its purpose is to enable business and government to apply knowledge gained through basic research.
