MAIOLICA-II is the follow-up project of the Competence Center Environment and Sustainability (CCES, http://www.cces.ethz.ch) project MAIOLICA (“Modeling And ExperIments On Land-surface Interactions with atmospheric Chemistry and climAte”) [http://www.cces.ethz.ch/projects/clench/maiolica]. The consortium includes four partners from ETH, WSL, Empa, and the Centre for Climate Systems Modeling C2SM. All these partners participated in MAIOLICA-I. The project aims at improving our understanding of fundamental processes that contribute to the observed variability of atmospheric methane (CH4) concentrations in the recent past, focusing on natural CH4 emissions from wetlands and wildfires. We also investigate atmospheric CH4 in a changing climate including feedbacks among the terrestrial biosphere, atmospheric composition and climate. These issues will be addressed combining different modeling techniques - process-based emission modeling, global Lagrangian transport modeling and coupled chemistry-climate modeling, as well as inverse modeling.
