Dr. Jürgen Knödlseder's Post

I’m happy to announce that our paper “Scenarios of future annual carbon footprints of astronomical research infrastructures” was published today by @NatureAstronomy.

In the paper we modelled the future evolution of the annual greenhouse gas emissions of astronomical facilities based on past trends for different scenarios. We demonstrated that without a #degrowth in the number of facilities astronomical research will not reach sustainability.
