Project Surya, introduced by Scripps climate scientist Veerabhadran Ramanathan, found that women in poor Indian villages would more readily replace traditional polluting cookstoves with new clean-burning ones if the women could be more easily compensated for using such stoves and the stoves were easier to repair. If the use of cleaner stoves were scaled up, a very large but relatively short-lived contributor to global warming could be substantially diminished.

When summertime comes to Antarctica (just when Christmas comes to San Diego), it’s peak season for research in the frozen continent. UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography is always among the research centers there, but this year is special. This year, researchers say that Scripps will have the largest institutional presence in Antarctica of any academic center in the world.

Scientists will convene Oct. 7 at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego to consider the future of one of the world’s longest continuous records of ocean conditions. Managers of the program, which observed the centennial of the first temperature measurement at Scripps Pier in August, will take up the question of how – and if – the program should continue into a second century as it is now and how it can be funded in the future.

California Governor Edmund “Jerry” Brown signed into law today new state restrictions on the emissions of so-called short-lived climate pollutants such as methane, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) used in refrigeration, and soot and other forms of black carbon. The new law was inspired by decades of research by Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego Climate and Atmospheric Scientist Veerabhadran Ramanathan.
