ECHAM5-HAMMOZ, ECHAM5.5-HAM2 − Quentin Bourgeois • How does the model reproduce dust emissions and export with a focus over Asia? ECHAM5.5-HAM2 − Junbo Cui • How does anthropogenic emissions (of aerosols) have influenced past changes in climate inc. the global and regional water cycle, including a focus on biomass burning emissions? IMBALANCE project, ECHAM5.5-HAM2 − Gabriela Sousa Santos • How does anthropogenic land cover change influence climate and air quality?
